List of incarnations of the Doctor

The following is a list of incarnations and manifestations of the Doctor. For completion and usefulness' sake, incarnations of the Doctor, valid or invalid, are gathered here.

While the Doctor's species was contentious among stories, as the Doctor was depicted as a human in TV: The Evil of the Daleks, PROSE: Doctor Who and the Daleks, and The Monsters from Earth, among other stories, a Time Lord in stories such as TV: The War Games, The Time Warrior, etc, a hybrid, a contentious addition from TV: Doctor Who, or something else entirely, the Doctor was consistently shown to be capable of regeneration, even among conflicting reports of how that process worked. As such, the Doctor had numerous incarnations over their lifetime, but the exact order and number was as contradictory as the Doctor's species itself.
