And what is probably one of the most treasured artifacts of Gallifrey that is used by the lord president? A left handed gauntlet, that one shot kills a Time lord with a nice light show. So the idea of these Gauntlets being Gallifreyan technology is not that far of.

Jack has Nick Fury on speed dial, and regularly has meetings with the Avengers. Tony Stark can't decide if Jack's hilarious or infuriating. Steve Rodgers and Thor are politely baffled by him.

** And then Confirmed! The Big Finish story [[https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/the-dollhouse-1496 "The Dollhouse"]] is about an [[AmazonBrigade all-female]] Los Angeles branch's activities in the 1970s. How official they are and why they weren't contacted during Miracle Day (if they were still around by then) is anyone's guess, though.

And worked in conjunction with his/her Nethersphere. It simply found their corresponding mind and redownloaded it into their body. As for the blackness they describe, that's simply the default thing shown to people trapped in the Nethersphere. Giving them a "paradise" garden to sit in is a bother reserved only for people the Docotr personally knows.

[[WMG: Ianto, Tosh, and Owen will all [[spoiler: be brought back to life in a way relating to their life/death.]]

[[spoiler: Owen]] will be brought back via the Wevals, or possession. His consciousness can't die, so he may have the ability to posses living and/or non-living things. He hasn't attempted to make contact with the rest of Torchwood because he isn't sure how his powers work, and has been maintaining the gigantic population of Wevals living under Cardiff (explaining why they haven't caused any trouble)
[[spoiler: Tosh]] will be brought back via technological means. We never sow what happened to her body after she died. Some other organization may have heard of her skills and managed to use something similar the the resurrection glove to bring her back during Miracle Day, and used the time to turn her into an android.
[[spoiler: Ianto]] will be brought back via alien means. Something could have happened to him while he was still a kid in Cardiff, and even he forgot it that may have been what drove him towards Torchwood. It might also explain why his ghost in 'House of the Dead' was so strong, the alien enhanced his consciousness.

Torchwood Four is a catch all term for those not affiliated with the actual institute, but still dedicate their lives to protecting humans from supernatural threats. [[{{Primeval}} The ARC]], Wiki/SCPFoundation, Franchise/MenInBlack, [[Series/{{Supernatural}} The Winchesters]], and even the Doctor himself are all classified as Torchwood Four agents.

I refuse to believe that someone who had looked into the time vortex would not know about Abbadon, or that someone with absolute power over space-time would make someone a fixed point by mistake. Jack was created to be poison to demons like Abbadon.

[[WMG: Frobisher didn't really kill his family he just faked it]]

Because he is/was The Doctor and they were/are Time Lords, so they'd be regenerated, perhaps as older Time Lords, taking them out of the age group the 456 wanted. Or maybe, if they weren't Time Lords and he'd married a woman who already had children, he just faked their deaths and got them away to a safe place (using the Tardis!). His secretary said to Lois Habeeb that she wasn't the first girl Frobisher had favoured. Well we all know that the Doctor likes pretty young companions and his secretary may have misconstrued this as him having lots of affairs (when he seemed to be genuinely in love with his wife), or maybe she knew who he was, having been a companion herself for many years, and she resented that her place was being taken by a younger woman, in which case her comments about Lois not being the first echoes the concerns of other companions who realise that the Doctor leaves a lot of people behind. It also explains why 'Frobisher' didn't stop Lois attending the meeting with the 456 and didn't question her taking her place in a prominent position, which was very suspicious under the circumstances. It will probably be shown that he quietly worked to bring about the end of the 456, but for some reason that will be handwaved in the new series of Doctor Who, could not admit he was The Doctor.

Sometime while looking in on his past companions for the last time before regenerating into 11(during the end of "The End of Time") he either visited or sent a message to Gwen, informing her that he could not intervene during the ordeal of Species 456 because it was a Fixed Point in Time, and that no matter how bleak things might look on Earth from time to time, he would never turn away from humanity in shame.

**Also due to actor reuse... guess who's a doppelganger for both Frobisher and his Roman lookalike? The Doctor himself, in his 12th incarnation. The Tardis probably deliberately avoided having the Doctor meet Frobisher.
