Astral Mimics are an enemy type encountered in Control, introduced in The Foundation.

Research summary[]

Main article: Astral Mimic (Collectible)
Astral Mimics are physically indistinguishable from Astral Copies, but considerably more dangerous due to the fact that they possess parautilitarian abilities. The most notable ability witnessed is levitation.

It is unknown how this Astral entity gained its paranatural abilities. The relevant Objects of Power are currently bound to Director Faden, which indicates the Objects are not responsible. However, Objects of Power are intrinsically linked to the Board and the Astral Plane. A similar link between the Objects and the Mimics could also exist. Or perhaps the Board is able to dispense these abilities at their leisure, with no trial in the Astral Plane required?

The prevailing theory, however, is that the entities are simply replicating observed abilities performed by the Hiss, or even the Director herself, thanks to a prolonged exposure to our world caused by the Astral Bleed.
