You don't get two copies as in a team, you get two versions on each their own timeline, meaning tons of different versions of everyone will soon be running around on each their own timeline. Apart from the logistic of what would happen if they go back to the parts of the timeline you share, that means a lot of alternates that your enemies can get their claws into to find out stuff about you. It would be like having a bunch of people knowing everything about you, all ripe for the picking and beyond your reach and/or control.

Come to think of it, this could be an interesting angle to explore as 'advanced' time travel issues. Maybe I should structure some of this stuf in tiers... hmmm....
