History

Doppelganger is an evil, near-mindless duplicate of Spider-Man that was created by Magus during the battle known as the Infinity War. The six-armed creature was one of many doppelgangers created by Magus during this conflict. The Doppelganger possesses Spider-Man's strength, speed, wall-climbing abilities, and spider-sense, and also has six arms, claws, fangs, and the ability to produce its own razor-edged webbing.

Although the Doppelganger was killed during the Infinity War by the Hobgoblin, he was mystically revived by the Demogoblin. When Magus was defeated by Adam Warlock at the conclusion of the Infinity War, all of the doppelgangers were destroyed except for the Spider-Doppelganger, thanks to Demogoblin's magic forming a psychic link between the Doppelganger and the Demogoblin. For a time, he was a 'pet' to Demogoblin, but the two went their separate ways after a fight

Doppelganger later joined up with Carnage, Shriek, Carrion and Demogoblin during the infamous "Maximum Carnage" killing spree. In the process, Shriek became a sort of adopted mother to Doppelganger, making him even more dangerous as he followed Shriek's instructions in battle with Spider-Man. Later, when Carnage turned on Shriek, Doppelganger intervened and Carnage stabbed the Doppelganger and threw him off of a skyscraper. The Doppelganger presumably died from these wounds, and has not been seen since.

Powers and Abilities

Powers

Superhuman strength, agility, stamina, reflexes, speed, and the ability to shoot razor-sharp webbing. It had hardened talons that could tear through human tissue and it could cling to walls like Spider-Man. It was noticeably unintelligent, seemingly limited to instinct similar to a dog or a cat, although it was capable of following instructions from its 'mother' Shriek. Its body was also somewhat malleable and could form different shapes, although this attribute was seen much less in the issues it appeared in just prior to its apparent death.

Strength level

The Spider-Doppelganger was stronger than Spider-Man; the upward limit of what it could lift was somewhere under 25 tons.
