Genestealer Patriarch
Genestealer's Kiss — Whenever this creature attacks, put an infection counter on target creature defending player controls.
Children of the Cult — Whenever a creature with an infection counter on it dies, you create a token that's a copy of that creature, except it's a Tyranid in addition to its other types.

If you control more than one Genestealer Patriarch as a creature with an infection counter on it dies, each one's ability will trigger, and you will make two tokens that are copies of it.
If the copied creature had
in its mana cost, X is 0.The token copies the creature as it last existed on the battlefield before it died, not as it exists in the graveyard.
If the copied creature was copying something else, then the token enters the battlefield as whatever that creature copied.
Any enters-the-battlefield abilities of the copied creature will trigger when the token enters the battlefield. Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the creature will also work.
The token copies exactly what was printed on the original creature and nothing else (unless that creature is copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that creature was tapped or untapped, whether it had any counters on it or Auras or Equipment attached to it, or any non-copy effects that had changed its power, toughness, types, color, or so on.
