I wonder, though, if a Friend can pass on moves to another Friend....
Per the page, the rule for this is the same as the rule for the Orphan: a Friend defending another friend passes on all the moves of its own defenders
The interesting question (raised by Charles wrt the Orphan and Joker) regards interaction of distinct mimics: what happens if an Orphan defends a friend? Does it pass on its attackers' powers or (my preferred option but more obscure, especially if applied recursively) does it lets the friend move as an orphan (and thus as any of its own attackers)?
In any case, whilst interesting, this page is a bit of an anomaly: afaict it's the only piece in the piececlopedia never (yet — pending your idea) to have been used in anything, game or even problem
