Abel Gantz was an alchemist. He could change his flesh to any element or shape. He acquired this ability after a laboratory accident inadvertently caused when the TARDIS escaped from the Funhouse. (COMIC: Funhouse) He met the Sixth Doctor and Frobisher on Xaos. Abel died after transforming into a giant bomb and exploding, destroying the Skeletoid control room. (COMIC: Abel's Story, The Warrior's Story, Frobisher's Story)

Behind the scenes

Abel's debut comic story, Abel's Story, was immediately preceded by Kane's Story, which introduced Kane, an ex-academic with telekinetic abilities. Taken together, Kane and Abel are references to Cain and Abel, two siblings from the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. The short story One Bad Apple would later feature another such pairing: Lieutenant Cain and soldier Abel.
