The Doctor (Earth-33⅓)
Doctor Wat Who was the complete nom-de-plume (PROSE: TARDIS Stolen!) of the version of the Doctor who existed in Earth-33⅓. They had a broadly similar history and regenerative cycle to their counterpart in a more serious universe.
This Doctor was simultaneously a real individual and a "fictional" character primarily on the television series Doctor Who, a fact they were often fully aware of. Indeed, several accounts depicted incarnations of the Doctor as playing themselves in the series as well as having careers outside of the show. Other iterations of the Doctor unrelated to the Doctor Who series also existed independently of the genuine article or alternative fictional portrayals.
