He's a copycat of one of the most powerful characters in the series that has already far surpassed the original in terms of power though.

He's got more zombies. His Snake summons are more powerful than Oro's. His arms work.

I don't see how Kabuto is any more of a copycat than any other character that learned their techniques from someone of the previous generation.

Madara is an ancient fucker who somehow lingered alive. The rest of the villains mostly can do their own specific stuff very well. Why should Kabuto make any difference? He seems to have been able to perfect the haxor resurrection technique, but you'd think that especially meant he had time for nothing else.
Well he's a genius obviously with access to Oro's lifetime of research.

You don't have to spend your life inventing the light bulb when you can just read instructions from Thomas Edison.
