Para-Nestene

The Para-Nestene (COMIC: Vortex Butterflies) or Nestene-like were a version of the Nestene Consciousness from an alternate universe. (COMIC: Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth) They fell into the Doctor's universe after the boundaries had been weakened by Sutekh, (COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's, COMIC: Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth) and attacked the Tenth Doctor, Cindy Wu, Gabby Gonzalez and Noobis, dragging them into a simulated reality as it attempted to create living duplicates out of them. The four escaped before the Para-Nestene could succeed, but by the time that the four escaped from the Nestene's fortress it has already scanned and duplicated the TARDIS. It grabbed Cindy, escaping into the Vortex with her. (COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's)

The three remaining quickly followed after the Para-Nestene's time-ship in the TARDIS, executing a Time ram which forced both of them to land in ancient China. The Nestene disguised themselves as a red general and offered to help the locals build a dam to stop destruction from a local river, but soon began experimenting on the citizens. Learning to change DNA like their counterparts changed plastic, they rebuilt all of the locals to be genetically identical to Cindy Wu, locking the original in prison. They also created various Elementals, creatures of Earth, wind, fire and wood, which protected the Para-Nestene's palace. (COMIC: Sharper Than a Serpent's Tooth)
