How likely is it that you actually have a doppelgänger? According to one study, the likelihood of two people sharing the exact facial features is less than 1 in 1 trillion. Put another way, there is only a one in 135 chance that a single pair of doppelgängers exists on our planet of more than 7 billion people.
True doppelgängers are however rare. One study suggests that there is a one in 135 chance that a single pair of truly identical doppelgängers exist anywhere on Earth.
Watch: Finding Your Doppelganger
Believe it or not, scientists say that statistically, every person has roughly SIX doppelgangers out there in the world. That means there are seven people with your face, including you, out there.
The team concluded that the chances of someone looking exactly like someone else in all eight features is about one in 1 trillion. This means: There's definitely a mathematical chance for two doppelgängers to exist, but it's highly unlikely. Mostly people do not come across doppelgangers of themselves.
Age. Doppelgangers live until partway through their second century after "coming of age," but become mature at the age their parent race does.
The Petrova Doppelganger is one of the most important and significant characters in the history of The Vampire Diaries and The Originals.

While a Doppelganger could use their power for good, we would urge you to not count on that. They are depicted as greedy creatures by nature, and the best defense you have against them is to be common and poor.
Given that there's about 8 billion people on the earth, that's a roughly 0.11 percent chance of any given person having a “twin stranger.” Or, in other words, for any group of 10,000 people, about 11 of them should have a doppelgänger.
Monoamniotic-monochorionic Twins
These types of twins share a chorion, placenta, and an amniotic sac. This is the rarest type of twin, and it means a riskier pregnancy as the babies can get tangled in their own umbilical cords.
With Google way ahead of others in terms of image recognition, it's better to stick to Google Lens.

Doppelgangers are asexual. or omnisexual. They do not have a fixed gender. A GM can interpret this to mean that Dopplegangers reproduce as he or she sees fit.
But new research shows it's no joke that, with some doppelgangers, there is in fact more to the idea than meets the eye. A team of Spanish scientists studied pairs of unrelated look-alikes and found that they not only bear a striking resemblance to each other, but also share significant parts of their DNA.
Two babies are twins and three are triplets.
The term mirror twin is used to describe a type of identical, or monozygotic, twin pairing in which the twins are matched as if they're looking into a mirror — with defining characteristics like birthmarks, dominant hands, or other features on opposite sides.
They found that there's about a one in 135 chance that a pair of complete doppelgängers exist somewhere in the world. But the likelihood of someone walking around looking identical to you, specifically, in all eight facial features is only one in 1 trillion.
Doppelgängers share strikingly similar physical characteristics—they look so alike that, at times, these two unrelated people could easily pass for twins (or, at least, siblings). Now, new research suggests that doppelgängers have more in common than meets the eye.
Doppelganger, also known as Deathvoid, is a Demon composed of shadow that takes the same shape of his foes by refracting light in various directions. He is encountered as a boss in Devil May Cry 3 and Devil May Cry HD Collection.
