All the ‘Orphan Black’ LEDA Clones Ranked by Usefulness (Photos)
In celebration of “Orphan Black’s” final season, we took a look back at all the LEDA clones — played by Tatiana Maslany — that have graced our screens.
All have contributed in some way to the fight against neolutionists, CASTOR (aka male) clones, and anybody else out for their genetics and their lives.
Clones such as Jennifer Fitzsimmons (pictured), Danielle Fournier, and others were either killed off before the series began by Helena or died from the clone illness.
[...] since she’s a direct Rachel clone — and the only living product of an effort to recreate LEDA — she’s got an early version of the illness that killed off so many others.
Katja gets assassinated early on in Season 1, but if it wasn’t for her efforts to locate other clones, Beth wouldn’t have learned about the plot Helena was carrying out and subsequently wouldn’t have found Cosima and Alison.
Krystal is the latest addition to the clones, although she isn’t specifically a Clone Club member.
Unlike the other clones, she’s less into freedom and more into doing anything to suit her needs, which sometimes turns into kidnapping and manipulation.
[...] her constant feeling that she doesn’t fit in with the other women and her absorption in her own problems (drug dealing included) keeps her from being the Clone Club member she has the potential to be.
Arguably the smartest of all the clones, Cosima has been the driving force in discovering the scientific secrets behind the LEDA project and the illness that seems to be killing them off.
