No way it will be listed as an altcoin. It is the same currency (BTC) and no, it doesn't have a separate marketcap. You don't create new bitcoins out of thin air. Even though the lightning network is built like a separate system, at the beginning and at the end (when you open a channel and when you close a channel), you have to settle the transactions on the main bitcoin blockchain (network). The LN just makes it easier and cheaper to transact.
