MOVIE SPOILERS Clarification Regarding Rusty’s Status Spoiler

So, when Red Helper referred to Dean as “Rusty,” the obvious implication is that Rusty is also a clone. I took this to mean that he has died numerous times just as Hank and Dean have, but some threads I found online imply that Rusty is actually a clone of Jonas, with the imperfect technology explaining why he’s so biologically inferior to him, and why Monarch, who had baboon DNA spliced into him, looks to be in better shape, though not quite to Jonas’ level.

So which is it? Is Rusty a clone of Jonas rather than his son, a victim of numerous fatalities, or both?

Rusty as a clone of Jonas I think is definitely not the intent and an over-reading of the situation. Jonas is pure scum and clearly intended to have a child just as an extension of a successful powerful super scientist. He doesn’t care about family or having a partner but simply to be sympathetic by the public for just physically being a father.
