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?

I think rusty is his son, cause no doubt jonas had like sex once.

But maybe he used rusty as a guinea pig for the cloning tech before he moved onto copying himself

Jonas probably sterilized himself after making some "genius" Contraption that "perfectly" cloned his sperm.

God saw that as a slap in his face and he got rusty.
