History
Doppelganger was 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 using Anthropomorpho's M-Bodies during this conflict.[3]
Although the Doppelganger was killed during the Infinity War by the Hobgoblin, he was mystically revived by the Demogoblin.[4] 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 him. For a time, he was a 'pet' to Demogoblin, but the two went their separate ways after a fight.[5]
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 against Spider-Man. Later, when Carnage turned on Shriek, Doppelganger intervened and Carnage stabbed the Doppelganger and threw him off of a skyscraper.[6]
Doppelganger reappeared and attacked an armored car in an attempt to free Shriek. Before Spider-Man and Iron Man could intervene, he was defeated and cut in half when shot by Royal Blue.[7] At Hall Industries, he revived and escaped with Shriek to find Cletus Kasady.[8] After Kasady returned as Carnage,[9] he and Shriek helped him to spread chaos in Manhattan until Iron Man and Spider-Man defeated Carnage with the help of Scorn, Carnage's new spawn.[10] He later escaped with Cletus to Doverton, Colorado.[11] The Doppelganger assisted Carnage in his takeover of Doverton, but it escaped after a bomb was dropped on the city.[12]
Doppelganger was later shown - fully recovered - among the Spider-Army assembled to help combat Morlun and the other Inheritors.[13]
Sometime later, Doppelganger and Shriek were recruited by Carnage into the Church of the New Darkness, a cult dedicated to the worship and revival of the dark elder god Knull, and began assisting him in harvesting the codices of former symbiote hosts.[14]
After Carnage's take over of Ravencroft Institute, Doppelganger and Man-Wolf assisted Carnage in resurrecting Demogoblin using Shriek's corpse as a vessel, the ensuing entity calling herself "Demagoblin." However, Misty Knight had escaped Ravencroft, leaving Demagoblin to chase after her.[15] After that, Deadpool arrived, unaware of what was happening, causing the cult to attack him. However, Deadpool set the asylum on fire, destroying it.[16] Kasady and his cult returned to the Spire underneath Grand Street.[17]
After Carnage's downfall, the Doppelganger was captured by the authorities and imprisoned in the rebuilt Ravencroft.[18]Attributes

Notes
- The Carnage doppelgangers manifested from Dark Carnage's symbiote resemble Doppelganger,[19] however, there hasn't been any established connection between them.
