Mirror Vic Fontaine

For the prime universe counterpart, please see Vic Fontaine.

In the mirror universe, Vic Fontaine was a Terran who was killed by Julian Bashir during a firefight on Terok Nor in 2375. (DS9: "The Emperor's New Cloak")

Like his counterpart, Vic was played by James Darren, who went uncredited for this appearance. Unlike his counterpart, this Vic was not a hologram. It was not specified how this was possible, though perhaps he was actually the counterpart of a Human whom the holographic Vic's program was modeled after, similar to how The Doctor was modeled after Dr. Lewis Zimmerman.

-==Background Information==
-It was never explained why Vic was a real solid being in the mirror universe, rather than a hologram, or why he was fighting the [[Terran Rebellion]]. It can be speculated that he was somehow connected to the Alliance or created by the Rebellion, although this is not yet proven. Some viewers believe that the mirror Vic was a Human; others believe that sparks, smoke and circuits were seen emanating from Vic's chest wound, indicating that Vic was an [[android]] based on the same physical template as the holographic Vic in the primary [[universe]], i.e. one form of artificial life mirrored as another. Neither Vic's appearance nor the script clearly establishes which interpretation is correct, although sparks and what appears to be circuitry points to the latter. This would also be consistent with what we observe elsewhere in the canon, namely when another hologram from the real universe ([[The Doctor]]) is falsely portrayed as an android by the [[Kyrian]]s in their simulation of the [[The Voyager Encounter]]. ({{VOY|Living Witness}}) It is also possible that Felix used a real person as a template for the Vic Fontaine hologram and it is the mirror universe conterpart of that person that is killed on-screen.
