We know that Charle used his powers to transfer his consciousness into what amounts to an empty vessel - body on life support but without consciousness.

What I'm specifically addressing is how he's able to do that into a replica of himself. One offered answer was that it was a dead twin.

Given his powers to project into and control the minds of others, I'd suggest that it's not a given that the body looks anything like him. That could very well be what he makes everyone THINK they are seeing.
