A multi-Master story is a story featuring two or more different incarnations of the Master. There are several different ways a "multi-Master story" can be defined; here, stories are sorted according to several different definitions. This list includes stories with flashbacks, but excludes stories featuring only pictures or archive footage of other incarnations.

Series 10's The Doctor Falls acted as both a multi-Master and multi-Doctor story as it featured the Twelfth Doctor and First Doctor as well as the Harold Saxon incarnation of the Master as well as the Missy incarnation.

Direct encounters

In these stories, multiple incarnations of the Master encounter each other directly, either in person, through a screen, through a phone, through a psychic link, etc. Italicisation means that the relevant Master did not directly encounter another Master in the story.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ 1.0 1.1 1.2 All of the Tremas Master's first 12 incarnations appear as manifestations in a series of twelve mirrors as he attempts to steal a regeneration from the Fifth Doctor.
  2. ↑ After the Tremas Master was exiled by the Time Lords, his TARDIS created a Watcher-like manifestation in the image of his previous self.
  3. ↑ Geoffrey Beevers's decayed incarnation of the Master merges with the body of Tremas to become a new Master. Though unconventional, some sources nevertheless term this a "regeneration".
  4. ↑ Gordon Tipple's ambiguous incarnation of the Master is killed and his essence steals a human's body.
  5. ↑ The Roger Delgado Master's body is twisted into Pratt's decaying incarnation by a backfiring Tissue Compression Eliminator combined with a matter transmuter, with no regeneration involved.
  6. ↑ Alternate Master regenerates into his next incarnation.
  7. ↑ After having his body taken from him by the Time Lords following The Five Doctors, the Master steals enough regeneration energy from his past selves to restore his Trakenite body.
  8. ↑ The "Child" Master is reverted back to his The War Master.
  9. ↑ John Simm's Master is killed and sent on his way to regenerate, with both him and Missy believing he is about to regenerate into Missy, but the regeneration is not completed on-screen, preserving a measure of ambiguity.
