-|actor=
+A former [[gladiator]] for the [[Hyp-Arena]] on an [[Roma D|alternate Rome]], Morris was imprisoned by the [[General]] [[Ironicus]] when it was discovered that he had illegally souped up his bionic arm circuits. While working as a slave to power the Air Galley, Morris met the [[Fourth Doctor]] and the pair helped each other to escape.

-'''Morris''' was a galley slave and former gladiator on an [[alternate Earth]] where [[Rome]] never fell.
+When Morris, the Doctor and [[Vesuvius (Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)|Vesuvius]] found themselves trapped by a [[Robot Flying Squad]], Morris took it upon himself to dispense with their enemies using a [[bact gun]]. However, one of the robots survived and shot the [[air car]] that they were travelling in, leaving Morris seriously injured. The Doctor was able to help Morris to the underground [[catacomb]]s, but on inspection of his wounds realised that they were fatal, and Morris died soon after. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Iron Legion]]'')
-He was constantly escaping and being recaptured, requiring him to be patched up with bionic parts. He helped the [[Fourth Doctor]] escape the Imperial Air Gallery, and was killed when he was shot with a bact-gun during an air battle with the robot legionnaires. ([[DWM]]: ''[[The Iron Legion]]'')
+In another account it was the Doctor who souped up Morris's bionic arm using his [[The Doctor's sonic screwdriver|sonic screwdriver]], and Morris was instead fatally wounded by an overloaded bacterial cartridge of a bact-gun. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (audio story)|Doctor Who and the Iron Legion]]'')
+A [[Vortex parasite]] later conjured up a manifestation of Morris, along with many others, for the Doctor to fight. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[A Life of Matter and Death (comic story)|A Life of Matter and Death]]'')
+== Behind the scenes ==
+[[File:IronLegionMorris.jpg|thumb|Morris' appearance in the [[Big Finish Productions]] [[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (audio story)|audio adaptation]].]]
+Throughout ''[[Doctor Who and the Iron Legion (comic story)|Doctor Who and the Iron Legion]]'' Morris is repeatedly identified as the Doctor's companion - once by the [[Fourth Doctor]] himself, and twice within recaps given in the strip. This makes Morris the first one-off companion in ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'', shortly followed by [[Vesuvius (Doctor Who and the Iron Legion)|Vesuvius]] in the same story.
