Dr. Who (Land of Fiction)


 * ''For other uses, see Dr. Who.

Dr. Who was a version of the Doctor existing in Land of Fiction.

Profile
Just as the Doctor had various incarnations, so did Dr. Who. Dr. Who inhabited a more simplistic and less morally ambiguous life than the actual Doctor. Dr. Who has changed as the Doctor himself has regenerated. The Doctor first met him in the Land of Fiction. Dr. Who was created by a teenage human male called Jason who used to be the Master of the Land of Fiction. (NA: Conundrum)

Later, the Doctor would once again meet Jason and come into conflict with Dr. Who in the real universe. (NA: Head Games) Though not actually evil, Dr. Who's simplistic morality tended to lead him into making rash decisions.

Behind the Scenes
The character of Dr. Who first appeared in the Virgin New Adventures novel Conundrum as a way to meta-textually comment on the difference between the Doctor as seen in the Doctor Who television series with the version seen in early comics and the Doctor Who Annuals. The character at times behaved very out of character in contrast to the TV based Doctor.

The Eighth Doctor comic The Land of Happy Endings implies that Dr. Who lives in the mind of the Doctor or possibly that the "real" Doctor lives in Dr. Who's.
