"I'm really Steve! As to how I became two..." Steve was silent for a moment before he continued, "I don't mind telling you, because the other one is my secret identity."
Wendy gradually calmed down after her initial shock. With her wealth of life experience, she was quickly able to accept the facts before her.
After all, it made sense that Steve could acquire the means of such an identity after inheriting the ancient relics. But, she had never heard of such a magical identity, one that was exactly the same as its master!
Even the legendary powerful beings could not have an identity with an intelligence that was absolutely identical to themselves! An identity was different from a clone.
Cloned organisms had their own consciousnesses and were independent organisms. But, the consciousness of an identity was still the user.
