  • As a priest, I.M. Foreman had been given the gift of regenerations. This made twelve different individuals, who were created by his body absorbing the DNA around him; all regenerations were caused by the Third Doctor sending the first twelve back to Gallifrey's past so that they fell from a great height and regenerated into the next one.
