    I've had this theory for i while now. What if Norman replaced Ben with an imperfect clone and then killed the imperfect clone? He's kept Ben locked in some secret facility somewhere while he brainwashed him. What if he also had Peter's kid in there? That might finally push Peter over the edge. This would explain why a supposedly perfect clone disintegrated upon death.
