... No, we really couldn't. We have no policy in place for having pages be valid exclusively for certain pages. We can't say "This story is valid, but only for use on Death's Head."

As for the whole "multiverse" thing, that's really a debatable and often (in this era) inconsistent topic. For instance, the Spider-Man crossover with Transformers treats those worlds as one-and-the-same. It could even be argued that this comic only treats the Transformers events as an alternate universe to rectify the fact that they didn't own the licensing anymore and couldn't use or show the events or characters. Anytime that two IPs from that era would meet or cameo, there was no interest in saying "Well, how did you cross over into this universe?" Basically, trying to bring in reference book "universe" notes into stories which pay those details no interest isn't necessary.

But that entire debate isn't even really relevant to this topic. Doctor Who Universe is a term we use to represent the idea of being connected to Doctor Who. It's more of a multi-verse, and the idea of there being multiple multi-verses is alien to us and based on speculation.

In short, when we see Hob searching through the history of Earth and Death's Head being sent all-over by time machines there is almost no hint of him crossing universes. As you've mentioned earlier in the thread, him meeting with Josiah W. Dogbolter shows no hint of him having entered another universe.

Thank you for taking part in this debate, it's good to know that someone still cares about this topic.
