In the Farscape episode "My Three Crichtons", John Crichton is seemingly assaulted by an enigmatic alien life-form that envelops him in a sphere of energy. When he emerges, two alternate versions of him also appear, one of them appearing to be a possible form of evolved human. This version of Crichton is also played by Ben Browder and is named behind-the-scenes as "Futuro".
Like Neandro, Futuro believed himself to be the "real" John Crichton. True to his appearance, however, Futuro's intellect was superior to that of his "original template". This higher intellect, however, made him arrogant with a looser morality. When it was discovered that the sphere revealed that it needed one of the specimens to enter it or risk Moya's destruction, he suggested sacrificing the Neandro Crichton without hesitation. Chiana, however, helped Neandro escape and, after the original Crichton let him go, he confronted Futuro. Feeling that he was the superior of the three and that with the original Crichton around he would always be an outsider, Futuro tried to force Crichton into the sphere at gunpoint. Before this could happen, he was ambushed and killed by Neandro Crichton who bashed him over the head with a pipe.
