Background

During the epic battle known as "The Infinity War", Adam Warlock's nemesis the Magus created a twisted and evil duplicate of most of Earth's heroes in an effort to finish them off. Spider-Man's double (later known simply as "Doppelganger) first attacked Spider-Man during a three-way battle between him, Hobgoblin IV, and the Demogoblin. Though Hobgoblin appeared to have killed Doppelganger, his body was secretly retrieved by the Demogoblin.

After the Magus was defeated, all the evil doubles were destroyed.... except one. Having establish a psychic link to Demogoblin due to the later's supernatural powers, Doppelganger lived and became a kind of "pet" to Demogoblin.

After a battle, the two were separated, and Doppelganger soon ran into Carnage and Shriek. Planning a huge killing spree, the two added Doppelganger to their ranks, with Shriek becoming a surrogate "mother" for him.

When Carnage found that Shriek had killed some people without his consent, he tried to kill her, and the protective Doppelganger intervened. To teach Shriek a lesson, Carnage killed him.
