1''Doppelgänger'' is a science-fiction web [[TheMusical musical]] created by EKFilms with music written by [[Creator/TeamStarKid A.J. Holmes]] and lyrics by Ethan Kuperberg. It tells the story of Victor Walton, an unpopular nerd who is unaccepted by all of the cliques in his school and wants to get with Elizabeth, the girl of his dreams. To fix this, he clones a cooler version of himself. Things seem to turn out well at first, but then things don't turn out according to plan. The first part can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7aHYMsg1kQ here]] and the soundtrack can be downloaded [[http://doppelgangersoundtrack.bandcamp.com here]]
