It's not immediately apparent from the page why this book is considered a valid source. Could someone enlighten me? Jack "BtR" Saxon ☎ 10:42, 24 January 2022 (UTC)

- If a Doctor Who story simply named Kryptonite in reference to the Superman character/movies that is one thing, it would be a completely different thing to have a Doctor Who story state that Kryptonite was real and have the characters actually use it. That is what happens in this case. Validium and chronodyne are stated to be actual elements that Doctor Omega was using, rather than referencing elements from another series.
