Doppleganger (Wolfgang Helmut Heinreich) is a fictional character, a mutant in the Marvel Comics Universe. His first appearance was in X-Factor (1st series) Annual #1.
The Dr. Wolfgang Heinrich was a respected bio-physicist in Russia. Secretly a mutant, he possesses the power to take on the appearance and powers of any other nearby mutant. He also ran a secret research program that involved using mutants, dead or alive, as biological weapons. Using the Crimson Dynamo as the guard for his facility, he ran afoul of X-Factor when they were asked to investigate rumours of Heinreich's project.
Doppleganger was seemingly killed in the encounter, but was revealed to have escaped onboard a plane bound for the United States. Apparently, the Dr. Heinreich retained his mutant powers after the M-Day.
