Biography
Early life
At some point, the Vlinx joined up with UNIT and began operating out of their London headquarters, working directly under UNIT head Kate Stewart and alongside scientific advisor Shirley Anne Bingham. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Battling the Toymaker
In 2023, the Toymaker began driving the entire human race insane through a special giggle projected into their brains through every screen by the image of Stooky Bill, the first ever televised image. As it was not human, the Vlinx was unaffected by the Toymaker's control so functioned as normal. The Vlinx developed the Zeedex device that disrupted the effects of the giggle and calmed down the humans who wore it. It chose to refer to the Zeedex as such because it believed it to be a "good name".
Later on during the giggle's insanity wave, it helped the Fourteenth Doctor track down the source of the giggle, and was present when the Toymaker attacked their headquarters itself. (TV: The Giggle [+]Loading...["The Giggle (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes
- In the video commentary for The Giggle, Phil Collinson theorised that the Vlinx had been recovered from a wreckage shortly before the Giggle crisis, as to explain it's rusted appearance.
