* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: 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.

* 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, leading to many darker theories as to what they could be...

* 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.

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.

In the 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 "The War Games", and the Expanded Universe took the idea and ran with it.

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, "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 incarnations.
* AffirmativeActionLegacy: We have a black female (before Jo Martin's Fugitive Doctor) Doctor and a disabled gender-neutral Doctor now.
