<p>Railgun is level #5 esper, but her "sisters" only are level #2, #3 or #4, regardless they have exactly the same DNA. Why is this so?</p>

Weren't they imperfect clones or something?

Why the sisters dont have the same power than Railgun if they have exactly the same DNA?

i suspect that the Level 2-3 range is because the Misaka Network is similar to the Level Upper Network and Tree Diagram probably accounted for this (while [Last Order](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Last_Order) is listed as a Level 3 while all the other clones are listed as Level 2-3, given she was made as a fail-safe to stop the SISTERS i don't think she was planned to fight as her ID is 20001 and outside Tree Diagrams 20000 calculation)

Actually the only Level 4 SISTER is [Misaka Worst](https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Misaka_Worst) who was shown to be difference in physical appearances (as noted by the linked Wikia, Misaka Worst is taller and have a larger chest compared to the SISTERS or Misaka).
