7[[folder:Kevin]]
8!!Kevin (Eleventh Doctor)
9
10One of the stranger companions to grace the TARDIS, Kevin is a giant animatronic replica of a Tyrannosaurus rex who travelled with the Eleventh Doctor, Amy Pond and Rory Williams.
11----
12* AwesomeButImpractical: As cool as it sounds on paper, travelling with a realistically proportioned robot Tyrannosaur proves to be completely impractical for a number of reasons. For one, he's too large to fit through the TARDIS doors without the Doctor expanding the exterior dimensions. He can't blend into the vast majority of locales the TARDIS travels to without generating panic. His arms are too small to operate any kind of machinery. Lastly, his fearsome visage causes most aliens and monsters to run away, making adventures more boring for the other companions.
13* BigDamnHeroes: He appears at the last minute to save the day on a few occasions, most notably from the Sontarans and later from a giant space squid.
14* ClassicallyTrainedExtra: He's actually a talented actor, so he finds his designated role as a fake T. rex at a holiday resort to be restrictive. He travels with the Doctor to find a better role in life.
15* DesperatelyLookingForAPurposeInLife: Kevin resents the fact that everybody judges his outward appearance and desperately wishes to find a meaningful purpose. He eventually finds one by becoming chief of security at Nebula Base space station.
16* {{Kaiju}}: The locals mistake him for one when he arrives in Japan.
17* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Not that he's particularly good at blending into any scenario, but his first adventure saw him lose control due to a temporal rift and start acting like an actual T. rex.
18* PoweredArmor: The Doctor builds Kevin a cyborg exoskeleton with an extra set of longer, more opposable arms.

21[[folder:Ally]]
22!!Ally (Eleventh Doctor)
23
24A nerdy young girl from a parallel universe in which ''Doctor Who'' is just a television show. One day, she encounters the real Eleventh Doctor and helps him track down a Cyberman before he goes back to his own dimension.
25----
26* ImYourBiggestFan: To the Doctor, obviously. Though she also meets Creator/MattSmith at a convention, which is where things get a bit confusing.
27* NerdGlasses: In case you didn't get the signs that she's a massive Doctor Who geek.
28* RefugeeFromTVLand: The Doctor is one in this scenario, and Ally becomes his temporary companion as he tries to find a way back to his home universe.
29* SelfInsertFic: Invoked. The plot of her debut comic story is a pretty standard "real life Doctor Who fangirl meets the Doctor and becomes his companion" fanfiction narrative.
30* TheWatson: She asks the Doctor the sort of trivial questions most real life fans would endeavour to ask if they could meet him, such as whether or not Sarah Jane Smith is still alive in the Doctor Who universe after Elisabeth Sladen's tragic passing, how the Doctor perceives the cheap rubber-suit monsters from the Classic era, etc.

33!Villains

35[[folder:Hooded Figure (Prisoners of Time)]]
36!!Adam Mitchell (First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Eleventh Doctors)
37[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/coaked_figure.jpg]]
38The villain in ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoPrisonersOfTime''. Actually [[Characters/DoctorWhoRevivalSeriesCompanions Adam Mitchell]] in disguise, seeking revenge against the Doctor for abandoning him on Earth.
39----
40* AlasPoorVillain: He seeks revenge against the Doctor for preventing his attempt to save his mother from terminal illness. This was originally meant to be part of Adam's motivation in stealing the information from the future in "The Long Game", but it was omitted in favour of making Adam look more selfish. Here, he has an understandable reason for hating the Doctor. The Doctor comes to sympathise with him and honours his redemptive sacrifice with a proper burial.
41* BigBad: The main villain of a large multi-Doctor event.
42* BlackCloak: Wears one to conceal his identity.
43* TheBusCameBack: Few were expecting Adam Mitchell to be the Hooded Figure's true identity, as he disappeared after only [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek two]] [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E7TheLongGame stories]] in Series 1 of the television show.
44* DeathByAdaptation: Whether or not this is Adam's true fate is up to you.
45* DeathEqualsRedemption: After Adam gives his life to save the Doctor's incarnations and their companions, they bury him and erect a memorial gravestone in the shape of the TARDIS that reads: "Adam Mitchell: A Companion True".
46* EvilFormerFriend: For a given definition of "friend".
47* EvilMakesYouUgly: The years have not been kind to Adam. His haggard, aged appearance is completely unrecognisable as the handsome young man from the TV show.
48* FaceHeelTurn[=/=]HeelFaceTurn: Enraged because the Ninth Doctor kicked him out of the TARDIS for stealing information about future technology that could have saved his dying mother from illness, a detail that was omitted from the script of "The Long Game". However, he was at fault for being dishonest with the Doctor, who could have arranged something to stop this death from coming to pass (as he would later do for [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E6TheAlmostPeople Miranda Cleaves]]). Adam later discovers that the Master is so insane that he would willingly wipe out the universe, which causes a change of heart.
49* HeroicSacrifice: The older Adam has a change of heart when the Master attempts to finish out their evil plan and allows himself to be killed to stop it.
50* InTheHood: It's in the name.
51* WalkingSpoiler: His real identity is a huge blindsider.
