Clones (cards that copy something as they enter the battlefield), such as Progenitor Mimic, don’t target. No matter how hard you try, when you choose a heroic creature with clones such as these, the heroic trigger’s requirements (1. That it’s a spell you cast, 2. That it targets this creature), won’t be satisfied because why? It’s a non-targeting spell! In fact, nothing about copying with Clone or Progenitor Mimic targets anything. It’s just a choice that’s made as the card is entering. A creature spell never targets anything!
