James T. Kirk

In a parallel universe, James T. Kirk was the captain the USS Enterprise in the 23rd century.

Biography
On one occasion, the Eleventh Doctor recalled memories of his fourth incarnation meeting up with Kirk and the command crew of the USS Enterprise to combat a CyberNomad invasion of Aprilia III. After Kirk had informed the Doctor that his communicator had a gold cover, he distracted the Cybermen until the Fourth Doctor used the gold to disable them. While the Doctor took his leave, Kirk checked on the staff, blissfully unaware that Cyberman coding still existed in the facility's systems. Following the Eleventh Doctor and the Enterprise-D defeating the cyber-web, the Doctor suspected that his encounter with Kirk had been erased from the timelines. (COMIC: Assimilation²)A man resembling Kirk was among the visitors to the Dalek Dome, alongside a man who resembled Mr Spock. (COMIC: Liberation of the Daleks)

Other matters
Assimilation² depicts Kirk with the likeness of actor, who originally portrayed him in Star Trek.

The mentions of Captain Kirk in The Gallifrey Chronicles, Ophidius and The Crimes of Thomas Brewster treat him as a fictional character (as do, implicitly, other references to Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation in Doctor Who stories). Assimilation², of course, treats him as a "real" individual. It also shows that he exists only in another universe. It is thus possible that he is a character in the Doctor Who universe but a real man in the Star Trek universe.

Captain Kirk was briefly portrayed by Fifth Doctor actor Peter Davison in the closing sketch of an episode of The Harry Hill Show.

J. K. Woodward, who worked on the Star Trek crossover Assimilation², released a piece depicting Captain Kirk standing with the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond, the latter wearing a 23rd century Starfleet uniform and holding a tricorder.
