Not to my understanding, but my understanding is notoriously poor.

I asked that question myself a while back. Unless The Man writes something to the effect...when tying up the story...Tom is lost in the Otherness it seems.

Probably. On the other hand, that particular Infernal was made as an "escape hatch", so he should have gotten to where he was going alive and safe, and since he's got the same O-DNA as Jack, he should be recognized as a kindred spirit on the Other side. As a lawyer, he might be doing well there.

Maybe, but I'd think even the Otherness:yikes: would have =some= standards.

Maybe not. They might mistake him for Jack, for whom they bear no love.

Funny thing about genetics. Half of the chromosomes come from each parent, and it's a crapshoot. Jack might have got the bulk of the ODNA while Tom got little. Enough genes in common that they look sort of similar. (No clue how ODNA might affect gene-swapping during mitosis).
