Bubs is a Timelord...

...and his concession stand is his TARDIS (how many concession stands have you seen with elevators?). Also, he is the original Bubs: The "other" original Bubs and onion Bubs are prior regenerations.
  • Not to mention that Strongbad claims that Bubs concession stand fell out of the sky- sounds like a Tardis to me.

Homsar is a Dalek.

Like Dalek Caan, he tried to break the Time Lock on the Time War, and went insane. He painted his shell and glued feet onto the bottom, but doesn't really need them (note how often he hovers, as Daleks do).

The Cheat is a Time Lord.

This explains why he is always called "The Cheat" even in context like "Awesome! My very own a The Cheat!". His TARDIS is the King of Town's grill, explaning how Strong Sad can fit in it. His incarnations are The Sneak, Ilko Skevüld, current incarnation, and Cheatball.

Sarge is a Time Lord.

Firstly, I apologize. Still, there's a better case for him than most people the label is applied to. I mean, only refered to by a label, mechanical brilliance combined with... eccentricity, comes back from the dead, companions (Lopez, Simmons), and an impressive amount of knowledge of chronal shennanigans. I mean, the man figured out about a bomb destroying the present. If that isn't insider knowledge, what is?
  • I was totally waiting for this, there must be a factor of how long a WMG page can last without a Time Lord guess. I tend to think that Sarge more often stumbles onto the right answer than not (or is totally wrong; see the Just Bugs Me page and the guess a few up for what Tropers are speculating about the time travel), but it could be Obfuscating Stupidity, and even Time Lords can be wrong sometimes.

The God of Light and the God of Darkness are actually the Doctor and the Master, respectively.

Consider the notion that Ozma and Salem initially managed to get the people who lived on Remnant to worship them as deities, through performing feats of great power, perceived by those people to be miraculous acts. In a similar vein to Ozma and Salem, perhaps the Doctor (under the guise of the God of Light) and the Master (under the guise of the God of Darkness) managed to use similar acts to get the humans on Remnant to view them as deities. In this case, the two Time Lords did not actually create humanity, but guided their development closely from the beginning. However, the legend of the two gods, through the passage of time, was eventually embellished to say that they did create humans. The Master, did, however, create the Grimm, perhaps in collaboration with the Rani, as a way to assert control and dominance over humanity. The two Time Lords also used their abilities to bestow humans with powers, which said humans came to see as "magic".

As the God of Light called the planet of Remnant an "experiment", it is possible that the whole thing was indeed an experiment by the Doctor and the Master, who stationed themselves on primordial Remnant. The experiment could have been a bet between the two Time Lords to evaluate who could better influence a planet like Remnant and guide its humans towards either light or darkness. The Doctor and the Master would have used their superior Time Lord technology (or Block Transfer Computation and/or the Skasis Paradigm) to perform extraordinary feats, the likes of which the humans who lived there had never seen before, thus furthering the illusion of them being gods in the eyes of the populace. To further their imagery as deities, the two Time Lords may also have used perception filters or holograms to make themselves appear to Remnant's populace as glowing humanoid figures with horns that could transform into dragons.

Where it pertains to the flashbacks in The Lost Fable, the Doctor first came into contact with Salem after Ozma's death from illness, when she begged him to resurrect Ozma. While he sympathized with her, the Doctor understood that to resurrect a person whose life had already run its natural cause was a perversion of the natural order and thus refused to do so. When Salem persisted, he simply left in his TARDIS. This prompted Salem to turn to the Master, who was flattered by the sight of the woman grovelling before him, and ascended to her request, retrieving Ozma's mind from the Matrix supercomputer. While monitoring the Matrix in his TARDIS, the Doctor noticed that Ozma's mind had been extracted and concluded that the Master was responsible, going to his realm to confront him.

The two Time Lords would initially argue over the parameters of their "experiment", until the Doctor divulged that Salem played both of them against each other in her attempt to revive Ozma. This infuriated the Master, as while he reveled in being worshiped like a god, he utterly despised the notion of being manipulated by a being he considered inferior to himself. Deciding to teach Salem a lesson, the Doctor ensnared her in his TARDIS and dropped her into his lake, which was secretly a portal into the Time Vortex. This imbued Salem with the powers of the vortex, and pumped her full with an excess of life, giving her immortality in the vein of Jack Harkness. The Doctor would claim that this made Salem immortal, though he himself was unsure of how long she would actually live.

Salem would eventually amass an army with the intent of overthrowing and killing the two Time Lords, and marched into the Doctor's domain. Realizing that the Doctor was under attack, the Master would come to his aid in his TARDIS, using its dimensional shields to harmlessly deflect any magical attacks hurled at him. Furious at this gross misuse of his gift in his eyes, the Master detonated a Gallifreyan superweapon in the form of a DNA bomb that purged Salem's army from existence.

Though the Master would claim that Salam was the last remaining human, he was speaking in both a literal and metaphorical sense, as his bomb spliced animal DNA into humans out of the weapon's direct blast radius, mutating them into the Faunus. The Master did this under the belief that if humans wanted to embrace animal instincts and degenerate into animals, he will grant them the faces of beasts as punishment. Thus, Salem was the only pure human left on Remnant. While horrified and disgusted at the Master's actions, the Doctor was forced to conceal his feelings, not wanting to lose face in front of Salem, and quickly left the scene in his TARDIS. Deciding to taunt Salem one last time, the Master also then left, crashing his TARDIS through the moon in a show of force and shattering half of it.

While the Doctor was heartbroken over the failure of the "experiment", he decided that there was still good to be done on Remnant and entered the Matrix to converse with Ozma's mind. The Doctor would bequeath the relics to Ozma and resurrect him on Remnant, giving Ozma the ability to regenerate and tasking him with rehabilitating humanity when it returns again. The Doctor framed his task to Ozma as putting Humanity on Trial, though left it ambiguous as to whether he actually intends to destroy Remnant if he deemed mankind irredeemable. It is possible that it was simply a threat to increase the gravitas of the test in Ozma's eyes. Knowing that he himself needed his companions to keep his own darker impulses in check, the Doctor arranged for Ozma to never be alone, whatever form his incarnations took. The Doctor sent Ozma back to Remnant and then took to the stars in his TARDIS, determined to pursue the Master and make him pay for massacring the people of Remnant.
