Doppelgängers may not just look remarkably alike - they may also share similar behaviours. That's according to research conducted on people who look extremely similar, but are not related. The researchers found that some doppelgangers share characteristics in genes that are responsible for facial features.
While an identical twin would have the same facial features, you will also share the same genes. In the case of a doppelganger, there is no genetic connection. Almost every single person in the world believes that they have many doppelgangers around the world.
Though our features vary more than any other animal, our genes do not. In fact, we aren't that genetically diverse. So eventually, the numbers would dictate that certain features resembling yours and will randomly combine.
This new study suggests you may share a significant proportion of that 0.1% — the "unique," heritable DNA that makes you yourself — with a total stranger. And it's likely that person, wherever they may be in the world, looks quite a lot like you.
“These people really look alike because they share important parts of the genome, or the DNA sequence,” he said. That people who look more alike have more genes in common “would seem like common sense, but never had been shown,” he added. However, DNA alone doesn't tell the whole story of our makeup.
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.
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. Creepy, but not very likely.
But does everyone have a doppelganger? There's a fairly decent chance of it, actually, thanks to the limited number of genes that influence facial features.
Watch: Finding Your Doppelganger

Sightings and reports of doppelgangers have been around for centuries, and a great deal of superstition has developed around them. Traditionally, they have been viewed as sinister or even evil entities. Seeing a doppelganger has also been considered an omen of misfortune or bad luck.
The doppelganger can use its action to polymorph into a Small or Medium humanoid it has seen, or back into its true form. Its statistics, other than its size, are the same in each form. Any equipment it is wearing or carrying isn't transformed. It reverts to its true form if it dies.
Interesting[ly], not only do they have identical faces […] but by having similar DNAs they end up having [similarities in] other aspects of the body and similar personality traits as well!” “At its core, the study shows that there is a genetic basis of facial diversity.
Doppelgangers live until partway through their second century after "coming of age", but become mature at the age their parent race does. Alignment.
The Doppelganger's abilities are very similar to Spider-Man's, including superhuman agility, stamina, reflexes, and speed. While Spider-Man's superhuman strength limit is around 10 tons, the Spider-Doppelganger's superior strength can press approximately 65 tons.
Beyond just being lookalikes, the study found that the doppelgangers also tended to act alike — at least in the sense that they had similar education and smoking habits. Height and weight, too, were close between pairs.
Tatia is the first-known Petrova doppelganger, and her blood was used by Klaus' mother, Esther, to turn her children and husband, Mikaelson, into the first vampires.
In their true form, doppelgangers appeared as tall, elven, gray-skinned humanoids, whose thin hairless bodies made them appear, to human eyes, sexless. Their heads were bulbous, with formless faces and bulging eyes that were a pale yellow hue and lacked visible pupils.
From some episode ( I do not remeber where), it is referenced that dopplegangers occur every 500 years. Going on that theory, we started with Amara and Silas 2,000 years ago. Silas and Amara started this whole doppleganger thing because they wanted to become immortals (diffrent from vampirism).
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.
A lantern of tracking (a common magical item from Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden) made to detect monstrosities will indicate the presence of a doppelganger: While the lantern is within 300 feet of any creature of that type, its flame turns bright green.
The rate of twins among live births is only about 1.3%. But as many as 12% of all naturally conceived pregnancies may begin as twin pregnancies, according to one study. In about one in eight of such pregnancies, one of the twins vanishes, resulting in a single birth, the study suggests.

When a skilled doppelganger eats the brain of a creature it is currently impersonating, it unlocks an occult connection between victim and victor. Since few doppelgangers have a taste for flesh, this is an uncommon occurrence.
Doppelgangers are devious shapeshifters that take on the appearance of other humanoids, throwing off pursuit or luring victims to their doom with misdirection and disguise.
