I don't think there's any real reason to doubt cloud is cloud, especially since that would negate his whole revelation in FF7.
And if he was replaced with one, why wasn't Zack? And why would they even want cloud if they could duplicate a person with one of the abominations, after all, Zack is the most powerful thing Hojo has ever created, it wouldn't make sense to not duplicate him over and over if they could.
I need some clarification. What revelation of Cloud's are you referring to? In the scene I'm talking about, isn't on-screen Cloud actually Zack anyways? I'm not really sure what the last point about Zack is referring to, it is bit of a hasty conclusion. As Vivi22 states, there were experiments done to Cloud, but I don't know enough about that plot point to know if it could coincide with Cloud's past.
