User:SOTO/Forum Archive/The Panopticon/@comment-6032121-20190914173756/@comment-6032121-20190918162734 Which "theory" are you comparing this to, though? Dalek Prime = Dalek Emperor, or "Genesis of Evil was destined to happen but Davros interfered and changed history"?

Either way, what's your point? "Sometimes one DWU writer's interpretation isn't shared by other DWU writers, but the writer in question still manages to put their interpretation in a valid source" is inarguable fact but has little bearing that I can see on this discussion, especially as, unlike what I think is happening with Japetus/Kaldor (but I'm no authority on that issue) there aren't any stories which actually clash with the "Prime" and "Genesis" links drawn by Peel.

AUDIO: Across the Darkened City comes closest, but A) it doesn't actually say in so many words that the Dalek Emperor proclaimed at the end is the one from Evil of the Daleks, even if the implications are clear in listeners' mind; and B) it doesn't actually preclude Genetic Experiment Two-One-Zero being the first-ever created Dalek. After all, Genesis of Evil may suggest the Dalek Prime was proclaimed leader soon after the Daleks' emergence, but The Evil of the Daleks already disagrees with this notion by positing that following the Neutron War, he he spent years doing genetic experiments on Skaro wildlife and eventually on himself. It is perfectly possible that it was in this way that he became the "Genetic Experiment" being tested by his fellows at the start of Darkened City and who, once he passed the test, was finally proclaimed the Emperor for good.
