#clone dib

Since Dib is a clone of Professor Membrane-

What if being in this constant state of unnatural existence as something alive that shouldn't be, lets him see ghosts?

I forget if I actually made this post or if this was just an idea I had that I forgot to write down some time ago but like...

Zim and Dib worked together on the cure for bolognafication, so Zim's probably had access to Dib's DNA for examination, and he created Clembrane as a clone of Membrane, meaning he's probably gotten his hands on some of Membrane's DNA as well.

So if they were to do Eric Trueheart's idea of Dib being a clone of Membrane, what if it was actually Zim who figured it out first and told him? Or what if Zim knew for ages and never said anything because he thought Dib already knew/didn't think it was a big deal because that's how all reproduction is handled on Irk?

Also, foreshadowing that the Membrane family has a connection to Irk.

Unpopular opinion time: irken membrane > clone dib

While Dib as a clone makes more sense,it adds very little to the story as the only thing you can do with it is make a small amount of Dib angst. Membrane being an irken who came to earth has way more potential plot-wise, and can shift focus to other characters as well.
