[[file:Statue of Omega.jpg|thumb|left|As opposed to how it is pictured here, the [[Statue of Omega]] was ancient during the Doctor's days at the [[Time Lord Academy]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Lost Dimension (comic story)|The Lost Dimension]]'')]]
During his time at the Time Lord Academy, the Doctor's personal hero was [[Omega]], ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Omega (audio story)|Omega]]'') whose [[Statue of Omega|statue]] in the [[Capitol]] was ancient by the time the Doctor was attending the academy.
