Doppelgänger was a word from the German language which meant an exact duplicate of a living person. The term doppelganger has been used throughout history, most often when someone met an identical copy of themselves who was not a biological twin. Currently, Miles O'Brien, Harry Kim, and Naomi Wildman are doppelgängers of their respective "originals". (DS9: "Visionary", VOY: "Deadlock")

[edit] Jean-Luc Picard

  • In 2365, the USS Enterprise-D encountered a Jean-Luc Picard from six hours into the future. This Picard was killed by the current Picard, and then vanished. (TNG: "Time Squared")
  • In 2366, Picard was replaced by an alien copy; upon returning to the Enterprise-D, the real Picard commented that he "hoped his doppelganger hadn't caused too much trouble." (TNG: "Allegiance")


[edit] William T. Riker

Because the split between signals resulted in an equal distribution of Riker's transporter pattern, both of them had an equally legitimate claim to being the "real" William T. Riker, however it can be argued that "Thomas" is the real Riker as the transporter chief aboard the Potemkin used a second beam signal to retrieve the current person known as William T. Riker while the original beam signal rematerialized on the planet surface.


[edit] Miles O'Brien

  • Miles O'Brien was killed in 2371, after becoming infected with delta-series radioisotopes following an accident aboard Deep Space 9. He was replaced by his future self, making the current O'Brien a doppelgänger of the "original." (DS9: "Visionary")
  • A replicant of O'Brien was created by the Parada government, possibly to assassinate someone at the upcoming peace talks on the station between the government and rebel forces. This O'Brien died never knowing he wasn't the "real" one. (DS9: "Whispers")


[edit] B'Elanna Torres

In 2371, the Vidiian Sulan used a genotron to extract B'Elanna Torres Klingon DNA, leaving her fully Human, and then reconstitute a fully Klingon version of her. The Doctor was able to reintegrate B'Elanna's Klingon DNA into her Human self after her Klingon half was killed escaping the Vidiians. (VOY: "Faces")

[edit] Harry Kim

The "real" Harry Kim was killed on Voyager when he was pulled through a hull breach on deck 15. He was replaced by the other Harry Kim from the "second" Voyager, making the current Harry a doppelgänger of the "first." (VOY: "Deadlock")

[edit] Naomi Wildman

The "real" Naomi Wildman died of complications due to hemocythemia. She was replaced by the "second" Naomi Wildman for the other Voyager, making the current Naomi a doppelgänger of the "first." (VOY: "Deadlock")
