History Characters / DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse

* ForWantOfANail: If the Second Doctor had chosen the 'Thin Doctor' option given to him by the Time Lords at his trial, everything would have changed. It's implied that losing control of his TARDIS as well as the ability to regenerate, plus being dropped into a much more politically unstable period, triggered this alternate Doctor's fall to darkness.

* {{Depower}}ed: In the last episode, after he has [[spoiler:abused his powers for a RoaringRampageOfRevenge]].
* DoctorWhomage: He's basically another Doctor..

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: The original intention was that he would [[LegacyCharacter take over the Doctor's title at the end of the story]], after the Doctor proper was KilledOffForReal.

* ComicBookFantasyCasting: While the details are too vague to say for certain, the description of the female Doctor is possibly based on a frequent member of Russell T Davies' ProductionPosse, T'Nia Miller (who also portrayed the General's gender-swapped regeneration in the episode "Hell Bent" by Creator/StevenMoffat), who is known for her completely shaved head.

Two unknown Doctors spotted by Clive Finch who are referenced briefly in Creator/RussellTDavies' self-adapted [[Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations novelisation]] of the first episode of the 2005 revival, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose "Rose"]]. They appear in photographs amongst Clive's vast collection of Doctor sightings throughout human history. One Doctor is described as a bald black woman with a flaming sword, the other is a disabled androgynous child with a robot dog.

* AmbiguousSituation: Their existence raises so many questions. Are they future Doctors, past Doctors, unseen in-between Doctors? Are they even Doctors at all? Will they ever be seen in a full story? The child Doctor has at least been obliquely referenced in the ''Lockdown!'' audio story "Shadow of a Doubt", in which [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature Daughter of Mine]] says she has met a Doctor who can't walk, among other apocryphal Doctors.

* BadassBeard: Of course, BRIAN BLESSED would have been the first Doctor to have a beard, had he ever been on the cards for the show. Richard Griffiths would have also sported his impressive moustache.

* DecoyProtagonist: ''Doctor Who Magazine'' played an elaborate BaitAndSwitch prank on their readership by seemingly having the Doctor regenerate into Nicholas Briggs, but this proved to be a ruse by the shapeshifting cyborg character Shayde. This happened around the same time that other wilderness-era Doctor Who publishers were testing the waters for introducing their own original Doctor incarnations (Virgin Books considered having the Seventh Doctor regenerate into a body with the likeness of Creator/DavidTroughton, son of Creator/PatrickTroughton), and the ''Doctor Who Magazine'' editors wanted to test how audiences would react to the introduction of an all-new Doctor debuting on the page.

** Paul Magrs also toyed with the idea of casting Tom Baker as a retired alternate Fourth Doctor in his ''Nest Cottage Chronicles'' saga for BBC Audio, but chose to leave it completely ambiguous in this case, as the stories can easily slot in at any blank point in the Fourth Doctor's life.

* RetCon: There was no such implication that the Leader was an incarnation of the Doctor in "Inferno", with the Third Doctor explicitly stating that he has no counterpart in the parallel universe featured in that story, with that being one of the reasons why its version of Earth devolved into such a shithole. At the very least, it seems to have become widely accepted fact in the expanded universe across different novel ranges.

* ChekhovsGun: After generously handing Davros some spare regeneration energy in "The Witch's Familiar" (as part of a BatmanGambit), the Twelfth Doctor speculates that in doing so, he could regenerate into a handicapped incarnation somewhere down the line. Earlier than that, the Ninth Doctor (half-jokingly) explained to Rose that any regeneration can have unpredictable physical side-effects. It's possible that this young wheelchair-bound incarnation is a result of these concerns, though they could have become disabled at a later point from their regeneration.

* RetCon: There was no such implication that the Leader was an incarnation of the Doctor in "Inferno", with the Third Doctor explicitly stating that he has no counterpart in the parallel universe featured in that story, and that's partly to blame for why it devolved into such a shithole. At the very least, it seems to have become widely accepted fact in the expanded universe across different novel ranges.

* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Is unknown if this version of the Doctor even bothers with a civic name, seeing as how everyone refers to him as "The Leader".
* EvilMeScaresMe: The Doctor was very unnerved when he realized that the scary man on the posters was one of the choices the Time Lords had offered him, wondering how an alternate version of himself could become a tyrant.

* GloriousLeader: Citizens of Republic still loved and praised their Leader even after his death.

* LeanAndMean: The Second Doctor decried all of the sketches of possible regeneration options given to him by the Time Lords, with one of them being far too thin for his liking. It turns out that not choosing that one was the best decision he ever made, as it would've turned him into the most evil version of the Doctor until the Valeyard came along.

* RetCon: There was no such that the Leader was an incarnation of the Doctor in "Inferno", with the Third Doctor explicitly stating that he has no counterpart in the parallel universe featured in that story.

* HandicappedBadass: The child Doctor is disabled and operates a high-tech wheelchair for mobility. This wheelchair could make it somewhat easier for him to fight or escape from monsters, but we may never know for sure.

* BroadStrokes: Since his only true appearances in the Doctor Who Expanded Universe have only amounted to brief cameos, nobody can say for certain of this Doctor's life was similar to what was shown in the fan-made Audio Visuals. What makes things more confusing is that almost all of the Audio Visuals have been adapted into official Doctor Who stories through Big Finish without Nick Briggs' Doctor.

* TheGambler: He spends most of his free time, which he has in abundance, chilling in a casino.
* HappilyMarried: He's happily retired and married to a pretty young lady. Life's good.

* ExpospeakGag: [[SelfDemonstratingExample He communicates exclusively in sesquipedalian terminology]]... He talks like this a lot.

Creator/NicholasBriggs played the Doctor for four seasons in his FanWork AudioPlay series, the ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoAudioVisuals''. He reached AscendedFanon status when he got featured prominently as a future regeneration in the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comics. To make things even more confusing, another character ([[Characters/DoctorWhoMagazine Shayde]]) then ''pretended'' to be him for an entirely unrelated ''Doctor Who Magazine'' StoryArc (which, in reality, was the magazine's way of testing if any new regeneration might catch on with the fans). He also briefly played the newly regenerated Doctor at the end of the stage version of ''The Dalek's Master Plan'' where his main role was the voice of the Daleks.

Because the Audio Visuals are not part of the Expanded Universe, only tropes from officially licensed stories appear here.

[[folder:Cadet Sweets Doctor(s)]]
!!Dr. Who

These peculiar Doctor designs appeared on the comic strip wrappers of Doctor Who-branded Cadet Sweets' cigarette sweeties [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer (yes, these were a thing in the 1960s)]]. These obscure pieces of memorabilia, collectively called ''Dr. Who and the Daleks'', are actually among the first ever ExpandedUniverse prose stories based on Series/DoctorWho.

* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Like the Peter Cushing film version, these Doctors identify as human, as a matter of EarlyInstalmentWeirdness.
* BadassCape: Both designs wear superhero capes for some reason. The first design seems to wear a golden one on top of a spandex costume, the latter wears a red one over a more Doctorly get-up.
* EnemyMine: In the second story, Dr. Who teams up with the Daleks in order to destroy an amok "machine-brain" that they built.
* RoguesGallery: Dr. Who battles both the Voord and the Daleks, though he surprisingly comes to a peaceful arrangement with the Daleks after helping them to defeat a rogue A.I. they had built.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: They seemingly represent Bill Hartnell's First Doctor, but neither design looks anything like him. Either they couldn't get the rights to use his likeness, or they thought nobody would care to notice. Notably, this was long before regeneration was ever a concept, but the second Cadet Doctor looks [[http://www.scififx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Cadet2.jpg somewhat similar to Sylvester [=McCoy=]'s Seventh Doctor crossed with a young William Hartnell.]]

[[folder:Trevor Martin's Doctor]]
!!Fourth Doctor
[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/trevormartin_2021.png]]
--> Played by: Trevor Martin

An alternate Fourth Doctor from the stage play ''Doctor Who and the Daleks in the Seven Keys to Doomsday'' and its Creator/BigFinish version, "Seven Keys To Doomsday". When the Third Doctor starts the story off by dying, this Fourth incarnation accidentally kidnaps two human teens in a fit of post-regeneration mania and immediately gets tangled up in a Dalek plan on the planet Karn.

* ActionHero: Still fond of Venusian Aikido.
* CoolOldGuy: He comes across as somewhat more fatherly than the Third Doctor, and is (slightly) quicker to admit when he's wrong.
* LargeHam: Very.
* YouLookFamiliar: Trevor Martin had previously played a Time Lord in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E7TheWarGames The War Games]]".

[[folder:David Banks' Doctor]]
!!David Banks' Doctor
[[quoteright:125:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/banks_8848.png]]
--> Played by: David Banks

Creator/JonPertwee's understudy in the stage play ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoTheUltimateAdventure The Ultimate Adventure]]''. Since Banks didn't want to "play Pertwee", as it were, he created a distinct persona and outfit for his Doctor. When Jon Pertwee fell ill in the middle of his first scene near the end of the play's long tour, Banks had to step in for two performances, and his Doctor has since been accepted into the ''Series/DoctorWho'' mythos as an alternate timeline incarnation.

* GreenAesop: Wore a big Greenpeace button.
* TheOtherDarrin: Kind of. And since David Banks played a main villain, he himself had to be replaced by his own understudy when he stepped in as the Doctor.
* YouLookFamiliar: David Banks is otherwise most famous in ''Series/DoctorWho'' fandom for playing the Cyber-Leader throughout the classic stories.

[[folder:Nicholas Briggs' Doctor]]
!!Nicholas Briggs' Doctor
[[quoteright:104:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/briggs3_5358.png]]
--> Played by: Creator/NicholasBriggs

Creator/NicholasBriggs played the Doctor for four seasons in his FanWork AudioPlay series, the ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoAudioVisuals''. He reached AscendedFanon status when he got featured prominently as a future regeneration in the ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comics. To make things even more confusing, another character ([[Characters/DoctorWhoMagazine Shayde]]) then ''pretended'' to be him for an entirely unrelated ''Doctor Who Magazine'' StoryArc (which, in reality, was the magazine's way of testing if any new regeneration might catch on with the fans). He also briefly played the newly regenerated Doctor at the end of the stage version of ''The Dalek's Master Plan'' where his main role was the voice of the Daleks.

Because the Audio Visuals are not part of the Expanded Universe, only tropes from officially licensed stories appear here.

* AscendedFanon: Though not ascended all the way into the canon Franchise/{{Whoniverse}}, he became firmly established in the Franchise/DoctorWhoExpandedUniverse.
* TheCameo: In the audio version of ''Seven Keys To Doomsday'', he appears at the beginning, regenerating into Trevor Martin's Doctor.
* IconicItem: Carried a toothbrush in his pocket, similar to Five's decorative vegetable.
* TheNthDoctor: He's introduced in the comics as a future regeneration, though it's unclear which number. This was before ''Series/DoctorWho'' was revived in 2005, so for a while, this was perfectly acceptable within the comics canon.
* YouLookFamiliar: Nowadays known as the ShowRunner of AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho and as the voice of the Daleks and the Cybermen (and pretty much everything else) in the TV series.

[[folder:The Leader]]

Though he wasn't identified as an alternate Doctor in the "Inferno" story itself, it was later realized that special effects supervisor Jack Kine, the man who portrayed the Leader on the posters seen in the Inferno Universe, resembled one of the choices the Second Doctor had been offered for his regeneration in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E7TheWarGames "The War Games"]], and the Expanded Universe took the idea and ran with it.

[[folder:Battered Suitcase Company Doctors]]
!!Battered Suitcase Company Doctors
--> Played by: Mark Wright, Robin Whitehead, David Huntingdon and Mike O'Doherty.

Four Doctors who appeared in a series of highly obscure officially licensed stage plays (''Hellblossom'', ''Vox Dei'', ''The Amazons of Mantubu'' and ''Warsmith'') by the defunct [[http://www.whotopia.co.uk/drwho.htm?http://www.whotopia.co.uk/drwho/misc/battered-1.htm Battered Suitcase Company]], [[http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/b/battsuit.htm based in Portsmouth in the early 2000s]].

* BattleInTheCentreOfTheMind: Similar to his duel against Morbius, the Hellblossom Doctor challenges his old xenobotany mentor Professor Gardener to a game of 'Rassilon's Gambit', where the combatants' memories are waged against one another.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: The Hellblossom Doctor vaguely references having betrayed his wife shortly before his exile from Gallifrey.
* {{Steampunk}}: Mike O'Doherty's Doctor definitely had this aesthetic with his TARDIS console and costume.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:''Doctor Who Magazine'' Proof-of-Concept Doctors]]
!!The Doctor

* ArchNemesis: The hypothetical Blessed Doctor's hypothetical debut story sees him encounter a hypothetical Master portrayed by Creator/JohnHurt.

[[folder:Tom Baker's Narrator Doctor]]
!!The Narrator Doctor
--> Played by: Creator/TomBaker

An older Tom Baker has reprised his role as the Doctor many times, most often in special features on home videos or introductions to televised airings of Classic episodes. Most notably, this older doppelganger of the Fourth Doctor appears in both the reconstructed VHS and Blu-ray releases of the incomplete episode [[Recap/DoctorWhoS17E6Shada "Shada"]], where he nostalgically reminisces about his past exploits and narrates missing scenes.

* AsideGlance: In the Blu-ray version, he stands with K9 in the TARDIS and wonders if someone will one day think of him as a nice old man, the same way people thought of Salyavin. Then he gives a mischievous grin to the camera.
* CanonImmigrant: The concept of a far future Doctor revisiting the face of the Fourth Doctor was reused in "The Day of the Doctor" with the mysterious Curator. Whether or not this Doctor and the Curator are the same is up to you to decide.
** Paul Magrs also toyed with the idea of casting Tom Baker as a retired alternate Fourth Doctor in his ''Nest Cottage Chronicles'' saga for BBC Audio, but chose to leave it completely ambiguous in this case, as the stories can easily slot in at any blank point in the Fourth Doctor's life.
* CoolOldGuy: He wants to have this reputation, like Salyavin did as Professor Chronotis.
* GloryDays: In all his appearances, he's reminiscing about past adventures, most often the one with Salyavin that [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall we never saw but are never allowed to forget.]]
* LongList: He enjoys listing off the many aliens and monsters he's fought over the years.

[[folder:Mark Gatiss's Doctor]]
!!Mark Gatiss's Doctor
--> Played by: Creator/MarkGatiss

A parodic incarnation of the Doctor who appeared in the tongue-in-cheek short film ''The Web of Caves'' as part of BBC 2's ''Doctor Who Night'' in 1999.

* SeenItAll: None of the Thal's plans impress this Doctor, who has foiled similar schemes many times before.
* TakeYourTime: Unlike most Doctors, he's not in a rush to be doing any adventuring. In fact, he flatly refuses to fight a random Thal (played by Creator/DavidWalliams) who's harassing him until he comes up with a less generic evil plan. Then, he arranges an exact date in which the Thal would like to be apprehended: next Wednesday.
* YouLookFamiliar: Mark Gatiss has gone on to star in many roles throughout the revived era of the main show and Big Finish audios, most recurrently as an alternate universe version of the Master.

[[folder:Lenny Henry's Doctor]]
!!Seventh Doctor
--> Played by: Creator/LennyHenry

Another spoof version of the Seventh Doctor specifically who appeared in in a ''Lenny Henry Show'' sketch, which is included in the VHS release of ''The Curse of Fatal Death'' and the DVD release of "Mindwarp". He arrives on Earth in 2010 and encounters a Cyberman regime lead by the most tyrannical ruler of all, [[UsefulNotes/MargaretThatcher Thatchos]].

* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Well, a Conservative coalition government did end up coming to power in 2010, but whether it was quite as awful as a Thatcher-ruled technocratic regime is up for debate.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: Although it was for a parody, Lenny Henry has the privilege of being the first black actor to play the Doctor in any remotely official capacity for the BBC.
* AscendedFanon: The sketch unexpectedly predicted that the Sixth Doctor would regenerate after hitting the TARDIS floor due to turbulence.
* AttentionWhore: He hates it when Peri upstages him in any way.
* CelibateHero: "Peri, this is a children's show."
* DirtyCoward: Rather than thwart Thatchos' neoliberal Cyberman regime, he and Peri just leg it back to the TARDIS and leave.
* ExpospeakGag: [[SelfDemonstratingExample He communicates exclusively in sesquipedalian terminology]]... He talks like this a lot.
* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Like the actual Sixth Doctor, he's incredibly blunt in the face of Peri's histrionics.
* ScarfOfAsskicking: He gets a long scarf like the Fourth Doctor, somehow in a gaudier rainbow pattern.

[[folder:The Forty-Second Doctor]]
!!Forty-Second Doctor

A far future incarnation who appeared in Lance Parkin's ''Beige Planet Mars'' alongside his young companion and wife Iphegenia, though they went unnamed in the final draft. This retired older Doctor was meant to appear in an extended epilogue chapter of the novel ''The Dying Days'' called [[https://lanceparkin.wordpress.com/2013/07/15/valeyard-of-the-daleks/ "Valeyard of the Daleks"]], which expands his storyline.

* AscendedFanon: The [=42nd=] Doctor appeared in a few fanworks by Mark Clapham and Lance Parkin [[RunningTheAsylum before he was elevated to semi-official status]]. He and Iphegenia appear in the official novel ''Beige Planet Mars'', though they go unnamed.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: His imagined likeness is based on Creator/IanRichardson.
* DirtyOldMan: {{Downplayed}}, but this extremely old Doctor (more so than most) is married to an 18-year-old girl named Iphegenia. He notes that his immediate previous incarnation was more impulsive than he is now, but doesn't mind the situation he was left in.
* TheGambler: He spends most of his free time, which he has in abundance, chilling in a casino.
* HappilyMarried: He's happily retired and married to a pretty young lady. Life's good.
* RetiredBadass: He prefers sitting around gambling to adventuring now, though when the last vestiges of the Dalek Empire attack, he has no trouble fighting them off.
* {{Troll}}: He enjoys trolling Jason Kane when they meet, such as when he jokes that, in the future, Benny Summerfield has gone on to become a GodEmperor.

[[folder:Unknown Doctors (''Rose'' novelisation)]]
!!The Doctor(?)

Two unknown Doctors spotted by Clive Finch who are referenced briefly in Creator/RussellTDavies' self-adapted [[Literature/DoctorWhoNovelisations novelisation]] of the first episode of the 2005 revival, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E1Rose "Rose"]]. They appear in photographs amongst Clive's vast collection of Doctor sightings throughout human history. One Doctor is described as a bald black woman with a flaming sword, the other is a disabled androgynous child with a robot dog.

* AdaptationExpansion: Clive only had photos of the Ninth Doctor in the original episode, but in the novel he has photos of ''every'' Doctor, including these mysterious future (or, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E10TheTimelessChildren in light of recent developments]], distant past) incarnations.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: We have a black female (before Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor) Doctor and a disabled gender-neutral child Doctor now.
* AmbiguousSituation: Their existence raises so many questions. Are they future Doctors, past Doctors, unseen in-between Doctors? Are they even Doctors at all? Will they ever be seen in a full story? The child Doctor has at least been obliquely referenced in the ''Lockdown!'' audio story "Shadow of a Doubt", in which [[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E8HumanNature Daughter of Mine]] says she has met a Doctor who can't walk, among other apocryphal Doctors.
* BaldHeadOfToughness: Downplayed. The black female Doctor is described as bald and wields a flaming weapon, implying she's more of a HighFantasy ActionHero than most Doctors.
* FlamingSword: Whether or not the bald female Doctor's sword is a permanent fixture of her arsenal or merely a one-time item is unclear. Either way, it's cool.
* HandicappedBadass: The child Doctor is disabled and operates a high-tech wheelchair for mobility. This wheelchair could make it somewhat easier for him to fight or escape from monsters, but we may never know for sure.
* HeroesLoveDogs: The child Doctor is accompanied by a robotic dog, presumably a new model of K9.

!Miscellaneous Expanded Universe Companions

[[folder:John and Gillian]]
!John and Gillian Who

Two grandchildren of the Doctor who tag along with him in the TARDIS. These two were created specifically for the licensed comic strips in Polystyle Publications' ''TV Comic'' magazine in the 1960s, because all characters besides the Doctor himself could not be licensed to appear, including Susan. Later ExpandedUniverse media would indicate that they are not all they seem. Collectively, they are the Doctor's longest-running comic medium companions.

* DemotedToExtra: Around the same time that the Second Doctor debuted in the comic strip, John and Gillian tended to get frequently sidelined from the action until they barely featured at all. Later magazines like ''TV Action'' starring the Third Doctor would remove them entirely, with his only permanent companion being his beloved car, [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Bessie (there renamed "Betsy")]].
* DiscontinuityNod: Their appearances in later spin-off media usually function as this, most notably the novel ''Conundrum'', in which the Seventh Doctor does not recognise them as his grandchildren at all.
* TheDividual: As they are rarely seen apart, most people group them together collectively as "John and Gillian" rather than referring to them individually. They have no real distinctive characteristics from each other.
* DreamPeople: Several later stories would posit that John and Gillian were merely fictional beings who existed only in the Doctor's dreams, or varying shades of "not entirely real". These explanations range from being simple dream constructs imagined up by the Doctor when he needs to unwind, to entities created in the Land of Fiction (complete with their own alternate fictionalised version of the Doctor, there actually [[CowboyBebopAtHisComputer named Dr. Who]], acting as their grandfather), to digital simulacra generated by the TARDIS matrix itself.
* EarlyInstalmentWeirdness: They both hail from an era before the concept of Time Lords existed, and therefore appear to be nothing more remarkable than normal human children living in 20th century London. As the Doctor was referred to as "Doctor Who" in most media, their full names are given as John Who and Gillian Who. Lastly, their existence would appear to be incompatible with the television show's depiction of Susan as the Doctor's only known grandchild, since expanded universe media at the time was more limited in how it could acknowledge events from the show and vice versa.
* HalfIdenticalTwins: Besides their differing genders and hair colours, they look and act the same.
* HarmfulToMinors: Gillian holds the distinction of being one of the rare companions to actually shoot a villain dead. She kills an unnamed mad scientist controlling life-sized model dinosaurs in order to deactivate them. The supposed violence of the early ''TV Comics'' adventures gets [[{{Flanderization}} totally exaggerated]] in their Land-of-Fiction ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' appearances, where they and their grandfather Dr. Who ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[GameMaster Jason]]) are lax about destroying monsters they encounter.
* KidSidekick: They are among the Doctor's youngest companions.

[[folder:The Minister of Chance]]
!!The Minister of Chance

A Time Lord, and [[RememberTheNewGuy never-before seen old ally]] of the Doctor, who appears in the webcast "Death Comes to Time".

Then Jimmy Savile bursts through the Fourth Wall (much to the dismay of the Doctor and Tegan, who [[HarsherInHindsight evidently knew]] what neither scriptwriter Creator/EricSaward nor Baker and Fielding could have [[FauxAffablyEvil about]] [[DepravedKidsShowHost Savile]]).

[[folder: ''Doctor Who Magazine'' Proof-of-Concept Doctors]]
!!Eighth Doctor

The Doctors that never came to be. Over the years, ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' have featured some notable "what-if" fantasy pitches featuring detailed scenarios where certain actors get cast into the role of the Doctor, often with accompanying artwork and full story treatments. The most notable of these are designs based on English actors Creator/RichardGriffiths and Creator/BrianBlessed; the former was featured in Issue 225 of Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine as a proposal for the unproduced TV story "Alixion" by Robin Mukherjee, while the latter appeared in some original prose stories.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: Blessed's Doctor visits an American amusement park secretly ran by the Master and some aliens with goals of destroying the Earth. There he meets his companion, Maggie.

* RoguesGallery: He (or they) battles both the Voord and the Daleks, though he surprisingly comes to a peaceful arrangement with the Daleks after helping them to defeat a rogue A.I. they had built.

* {{Acrofatic}} / BigFun: Richard Griffiths would've been the portliest incarnation yet and the concept sketches of him reflect this. How he would've fared with the show's copious amounts of running through polystyrene corridors, we will never know.

* BlackCloak: In contrast to his fairly colourful main costume design, he's shown wearing a plain black cloak in the later UNIT story ''An Army of Shadows'' seemingly to denote his mysterious nature as an unknown future incarnation (though more likely because the depiction in the UNIT file was a random stock image of Brian Blessed on set of another production).
* GentlemanAdventurer: His main costume emphasises the Doctor's aristocratic nature as he resembles a wealthy country squire in outdoor gear.

* YouDontLookLikeYou: They seemingly represent Bill Hartnell's First Doctor, but neither design looks anything like him. Either they couldn't get the rights to use his likeness, or they thought nobody would notice. This was notably long before regeneration was ever a concept, but the second Cadet Doctor looks [[http://www.scififx.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Cadet2.jpg somewhat similar to Sylvester [=McCoy=]'s Seventh Doctor.]]

[[folder:The Leader]]
!!The Leader
-->Portrayed by: Jack Kine

In the [[Recap/DoctorWhoS7E4Inferno Inferno Universe]], the Second Doctor, unlike his prime universe counterpart, did not reject the choices of appearance the Time Lords offered him for his second regeneration, but ended up choosing one of them before he was exiled to Earth, eventually becoming the tyrannical leader of the Fascist Republic of Great Britain. He was ultimately killed by the catastrophic events that happened during "Inferno".

Though he wasn't identified as an alternate Doctor in the "Inferno" story itself, it was later realized that special effects supervisor Jack Kine, the man who portrayed the Leader on the posters seen in the Inferno Universe, resembled one of the choices the Second Doctor had been offered for his regeneration in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E7TheWarGames "The War Games"]], and the Expanded Universe took the idea and ran with it.

* AdaptationExpansion: The connection between the Doctor and the Leader was first put forward in ''[[Recap/DoctorWhoNewAdventuresTimewyrmRevelation Timewyrm: Revelation]]'', but the ''Lethbridge-Stewart'' spin-off novels greatly expanded the Leader's backstory. In ''I, Alastair'', it's revealed that this Third Doctor was sent back to the 1930s rather than the 1970s [[ContinuitySnarl (or 1980s)]] after regenerating, started hanging out with the real life political union leader Sir Oswald Mosley before eventually destabilising the democratic system and taking over the United Kingdom, transforming it into the ruthless fascist state we see in "Inferno".
* BeardOfEvil: Sported a moustache, in contrast to the clean-shaven Doctor.
* BigBrotherIsWatching: His ubiquity on propaganda posters with the slogan '''UNITY IS STRENGTH''' definitely call Orwell's ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' to mind.
* CompositeCharacter: Basically, some writers looked at the posters of the Leader from "Inferno", then at the sketched impression of the 'Thin Doctor' option given to the Second Doctor by the Time Lords prior to his regeneration, and put two-and-two together.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Is unknown if this version of the Doctor even bothers with a civic name, seeing as how everyone refers to him as "The Leader".
* EvilMeScaresMe: The Doctor was very unnerved when he realized that the scary man on the posters was one of the choices the Time Lords had offered him, wondering how an alternate version of himself could become a tyrant.
* ForWantOfANail: If the Second Doctor had chosen the 'Thin Doctor' option given to him by the Time Lords at his trial, everything would have changed. It's implied that losing control of his TARDIS as well as the ability to regenerate, plus being dropped into a much more politically unstable period, triggered this alternate Doctor's fall to darkness.
* TheGhost: While we know what he looks like from the Party's propaganda posters, the Leader himself goes unseen in "Inferno".
* GloriousLeader: Citizens of Republic still loved and praised their Leader even after his death.
* JustTheFirstCitizen: Head of a Fascist Republic, but just goes by "The Leader".
* LeanAndMean: The Second Doctor decried all of the sketches of possible regeneration options given to him by the Time Lords, with one of them being far too thin for his liking. It turns out that not choosing it was the best decision he ever made, as it would've turned him into the most evil version of the Doctor until the Valeyard came along.
* OutOfContinues: The Time Lords halted his ability to regenerate entirely.
* ReptilianConspiracy: His alien biology is known to only his closest advisors, though most Party members who hear the rumours debunk it as fanatical nonsense. The general population are mostly unaware that their GloriousLeader is a member of the most advanced civilisation in the universe.

[[folder:Richard Griffiths' Doctor]]

A Doctor that never truly came to be, though he appeared in Issue 225 of Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine as a possible proposal for an Eighth Doctor played by Creator/RichardGriffiths, for the unproduced TV story "Alixion" by Robin Mukherjee.

* {{Acrofatic}} / BigFun: Richard Griffiths would've been the portliest incarnation yet and the concept sketches of him reflect this. How he would've fared with the show's copious amounts of running through steel corridors, we will never know.
* MadScientist: He definitely has a "nutty professor" look going on.

[[folder:Brian Blessed's Doctor]]
!!Brian Blessed's Doctor

An incarnation directly based on the likeness of Creator/BrianBlessed appeared in a Doctor in a couple of prose stories published in Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine, first as part of a fan design contest to cast a new hypothetical Doctor and later as a cameo in a UNIT-centric Winter Special issue.

* AmusementParkOfDoom: He visits an American amusement park secretly ran by the Master and aliens with goals of destroying the Earth. There he meets his companion, Maggie.
* ArchNemesis: His debut story sees him encounter a hypothetical Master portrayed by Creator/JohnHurt.
* BlackCloak: In contrast to his fairly colourful main costume design, he's shown wearing a plain black cloak in the later UNIT story ''An Army of Shadows'' seemingly to denote his mysterious nature as an unknown future incarnation (though more likely because the depiction in the UNIT file was a random stock image of Brian Blessed on set of another production).
* GentlemanAdventurer: His main costume emphasises the Doctor's aristocratic nature as he resembles a wealthy country squire in outdoor gear.
%% * ManlyFacialHair: It's Creator/BrianBlessed, what do you expect?
[[/folder]]

* TakeYourTime: Unlike most Doctors, he's not in a rush to be doing any adventuring. In fact, he flatly refuses to fight a random Thal who's harassing him until he comes up with a less generic evil plan. Then he arranges an exact date in which the Thal would like to be stopped: next Wednesday.

* AttentionWhore: He hates it when Peri upstages him.

* ExpospeakGag: Seems to speak exclusively in these terms.

* ScarfOfAsskicking: He gets a long scarf like the Fourth Doctor, somehow in a gaudier pattern.

* HandicappedBadass: The child Doctor is disabled and is seen operating a high-tech wheelchair. They can presumably still throw down as well as the best of them.

* DemotedToExtra: Around the same time that the Second Doctor debuted in the comic strip, John and Gillian tended to get frequently sidelined from the action until they barely featured at all. Later magazines like ''TV Action'' starring the Third Doctor would eject permanent companions entirely (besides [[CoolCar Bessie]]).

* HarmfulToMinors: Gillian holds the distinction of being one of the rare companions to actually shoot a villain dead. She kills an unnamed mad scientist controlling life-sized model dinosaurs in order to deactivate them. The supposed violence of the early ''TV Comics'' adventures gets [[{{Flanderization}} totally exaggerated]] in their Land-of-Fiction ''Literature/DoctorWhoNewAdventures'' appearances, where they and their grandfather Dr. Who ([[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[GameMaster Jason]]) are lax about killing off monsters they encounter.

* NamesTheSame: Not the same Gareth Jenkins who works with the Creator/BigFinish productions. It is also not known if he is the Gareth Jenkins who defeats the Sontarans, but they aren't taking any chances.
