Revision as of 11:25, 27 April 2020

A Ganger of the Eleventh Doctor was accidentally created during a solar storm in the 22nd century after he left a DNA imprint in the Flesh. It took the form of his eleventh incarnation after having some trouble with residual traces of his previous lives.

He sacrificed himself to allow his counterpart to leave with the survivors while he and a fellow Ganger destabilised themselves to stop an insane Ganger. The only thing remaining of him was the shoes he swapped with the Doctor.

Biography

When a bolt of solar energy struck the vat the Flesh was held in, it formed a copy of the Eleventh Doctor from a tiny measure of his genetic material, gained when he touched the Flesh. When the Doctor returned to complete his scanning of the Flesh, this Ganger's lips formed in the vat, saying "Trust me" in a distorted voice. He tried to make contact with Jennifer Lucas, but scared her away as he had not yet stabilised his form. When the humans and the real Doctor fled from the other Gangers into the chapel, this Ganger confronted them and told them to trust him. (TV: The Rebel Flesh)

At first, the Ganger had some trouble adapting to the Doctor's DNA due to the residual traces of his previous incarnations in his body. These caused him to briefly act as his first, third, fourth, and tenth incarnations, much to his and the original's annoyance. He stabilised into a form and manner virtually identical to the Eleventh Doctor's; the only way to tell them apart was their difference in shoes, as the original Doctor had replaced his after the initial scan. The two Doctors subsequently swapped shoes while their companions were distracted in order to prove that Gangers were no different than the originals.

The Ganger Doctor sacrificed himself and Ganger Miranda to stop Ganger Jennifer, setting the sonic screwdriver to a frequency that would cause the Flesh to collapse, in full knowledge that this would destroy him too so that the others would be encouraged to negotiate better conditions for the Gangers. (TV: The Almost People)
