An Entity of Type : dbkwik:resource/9cXEaOZ9zvbiXQBJdgjbmg==, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Gangers were mimicked duplicates of individual humans who controlled their Gangers through telepathic remote control via a specially-designed harness. This allowed humans to work in extremely hostile environments without risk to themselves, as the Gangers could be easily recreated and any damage they sustained would not be felt by the real human as the nerve endings automatically shut down. (TV: The Rebel Flesh) In at least one case Gangers exhibited the ability to extend their limbs and neck, due to the unstable molecules of the Flesh material. (TV: The Almost People)

abstract
  • Gangers were mimicked duplicates of individual humans who controlled their Gangers through telepathic remote control via a specially-designed harness. This allowed humans to work in extremely hostile environments without risk to themselves, as the Gangers could be easily recreated and any damage they sustained would not be felt by the real human as the nerve endings automatically shut down. (TV: The Rebel Flesh) In at least one case Gangers exhibited the ability to extend their limbs and neck, due to the unstable molecules of the Flesh material. (TV: The Almost People) The Gangers were mostly unstable and shift between half-Flesh and full human faces which was said to be hard to maintain, at least in the early stages. (TV: The Rebel Flesh) By the 52nd century, this appeared to have been corrected, with Amy Pond's Ganger being indistinguishable from humans for months at a time. (TV: Day of the Moon, A Good Man Goes to War, et al) Exposure to the inside of a TARDIS stabilised a less advanced Ganger and made them fully human. (TV: The Almost People)
