Supernature ( comic story ) Supernature was " Doctor Who Magazine s " first Eleventh Doctor comic story and their debut of Amy Pond . It was not , however , the comic strip premiere for either character . They were at the time of first publication , already regulars in " Doctor Who Adventures " . Summary . The Doctor and Amy arrive on a mysterious planet inhabited by criminals . Something is infecting the criminals and now the infection has caught up with Amy . The Doctor must stand alone and fight the infection before it spreads across the Galaxy . Plot . Part one : Supernature . Nerena Cargill , chief medical officer of the Van Diemens III , sends a biohazard warning from her colony planet , urging that everyone keep away . She plays a film of a room full of corpses . She says she is the sole survivor and anyone who lands on the planet is condemned to death . Elsewhere , the Doctor and Amy step from the TARDIS into a jungle teeming with life . He tells her he is ninety - nine percent sure that wherever they are , it isn ' t Basingstroke . Almost immediately , they are confronted by a large robot spider . It tells them to put up their hands and scans them for concealed weapons . When Amy asks if they are trespassing , it answers in the negative , saying that arrivals are tolerated but departures are prohibited . It leads them to an encampment , where they are tagged with security anklets . Everyone in the encampment is a convict . When Amy uses the word " Doctor " , one of the convicts leads them to Cargill . She is overjoyed to see them and hugs the Doctor . She says she has been begging the Empire for emergency medical assistance for weeks and asks how and where they landed . Amy and the Doctor say they didn ' t land and imply they crashed . The Doctor says he and " Nurse Pond " have been wandering for days . Their conversation is interrupted by the arrival of a transporter craft full of convicts . Cargill says since the Nigella IV massacre , the Empire has been using convicts as guinea pigs on alien worlds before they are cityformed . The transporters only have enough fuel for a one way trip . As they watch the convicts disembark , a fight breaks out , but a robot spider stuns both of them . Cargill explains she is the nearest thing to a doctor they have . She also says she deserves to be there more than most . She leads the Doctor to a sealed ward holding ' plague victims ' . They enter the ward in biohazard suits so the Doctor can make an examination . Every patient is horribly mutated into one of a multitude of different shapes , some resembling humanoid insects , others plants or animals . There seems to be no pattern to the disease . Their diagnosis is cut short when a monstrous creature bursts into the compound . The spiders ( or " snoops " ) seem content to let it run amok , but the convicts try to corner and kill it . The Doctor intervenes to let the creature escape into a storage room . He leads Amy into the room and points out the security tag around its lower leg . The monster was once human . Before they can speak to the creature , a party of convicts led by Conrad Finch enter , intent on murder . Finch accuses the Doctor of being behind the infection somehow . However , Amy distracts both , saying she feels funny . They turn to see that Amy is transforming into an insect ! Part two : Welcome to the Jungle . Cargill persuades Finch not to kill the Doctor so he can help the colony . The Doctor uses Cargill ' s laboratory to investigate the security tag from the captured monster . It belonged to a man called Buchan Foster . Cargill thinks this makes sense . Foster made several trips into the jungle to explore and claimed he had discovered a dark secret . He disappeared on a survey mission a month ago , just when the transformations started . The Doctor says the transformations are not due to a virus but are the amalgamations of two distinct life forms into an entirely new species . As Cargill and he step into the jungle , he says the whole eco - system has become a pick and mix of life forms . Cargill asks if that means the life in the jungle is taking humanoid shape . Even as she speaks , they are pursued by a plant with human eyes and sharp teeth . They are saved by a blast from a snoop which halts the monster . Together they run back into the compound . The Doctor orders the convicts to stay in the centre of the compound while he modifies the snoops to set up an energy ring around them , keeping at bay even more marauding monsters . He tells Cargill to look after Amy while he investigates Foster ' s secret . Finch accompanies him . They fly a snoop over the energy barrier and across the jungle to a cave behind a waterfall . Back in the sick bay , Amy is telling Cargill she is sad she will die without her family knowing what happened to her . Cargill says her own family was wiped out by a drunk driver . They are interrupted by a gigantic ground - like monster breaking through the energy barrier and crashing through the sick bay wall . The Doctor finds an underground chamber with an ancient machine at its centre . Before he can investigate , he is asked by Finch how long the mutation process will take to affect them , only to see that the Doctor ' s transformation has already begun ; he too is turning into an insect - like hybrid . Part three : The Chimera Effect . The earth monster pushes Cargill aside and carries off Amy . She is now fully transformed into a giant butterfly woman . She calls off the attack and takes flight as the other monsters turn and leave . The Doctor tells Finch the machine is a gene splicer left by an alien race . Because the planet is in the wrong orbit for life to thrive , the aliens accelerated the process . When Finch asks where the aliens are , the Doctor says they became the jungle . He adds that Foster must have reactivated the machine , causing the new transformations . The Doctor begins to play the keys of the machine like an organ or piano , saying he is resetting the biology , calling it regeneration . The effect is almost instantaneous . Foster , back in the compound , becomes human again . Finch punches the still - reverting Doctor to the ground and pulls out a home - made gun . He says he was innocent of his crime , framed by a boss who embezzled money . This machine is his ticket to freedom once he tells the Empire about it . The Doctor says he is impressed by the gun , but sees that it is held together by screws and so merely dismantles it with the sonic screwdriver . As Finch picks up a club , he is bowled over by the butterfly - Amy riding a snoop . She says she followed the Doctor ' s scent to the cave . The Doctor redirects the machine ' s power on itself to prevent it being used again . The cavern ' s roof collapses . The Doctor and Amy fly out on the snoop , with Finch tied beneath and land safely . The Doctor surveys the buried cave with satisfaction before turning to find Amy , completely naked , transformed back to human again - - and not trying to cover herself . They return to the compound , where all of the humans are themselves again . The Doctor deactivates the snoops and tells Cargill it is up to the convicts to make a success of the colony . She says the empire will send their traction factories and concrete over the planet but the Doctor advises her to send a message saying the virus has wiped out the colony . ( This is the message that started the story ) . He tells them to rename the planet , too and suggests " Basingstoke " . As they make their way back to the TARDIS , Amy realises this was the planet the Doctor had intended to visit all along . As they depart , a plant is shown with small TARDIS - like growths emerging from it .
