You may wish to consult E.T. (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages.

E.T. was an extra-terrestrial. According to some accounts, he was a fictional character and the subject of the film, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. (AUDIO: And You Will Obey Me [+]Alan Barnes, Main Range (Big Finish Productions, 2016).) However, alternative accounts presented E.T. as a real individual (WC: New Adventures Await! [+]LEGO Dimensions promotional material (2016)., etc.) who once met the Twelfth Doctor when they were both guests on a show hosted by Supergirl, a third alien, (WC: Supergirl Meets E.T. [+]James McLoughlin, Meet That Hero! (2016).) and was a member of the Supreme Omniversal Tribune. (COMIC: Judgement Day [+]Alan Moore, Captain Britain crossovers (Marvel UK, 1983).) He also existed within Earth-33⅓. (COMIC: The Incredible Doctor Who History Tour (No. 7.) [+]Tim Quinn, The History Tour (Marvel Comics, 1987).)

Biography[]

Early life[]

E.T. came to on Earth aboard a spaceship and became stranded there. He was taken in by a kindly human family and subsequently used his superpowers (such as his ability to levitate) to become a force of good on the planet. (WC: Supergirl Meets E.T. [+]James McLoughlin, Meet That Hero! (2016).)

Part of the Supreme Omniversal Tribune[]

E.T. was part of the Supreme Omniversal Tribune, who were witness to Saturnyne's trial for causing the destruction of an alternate Earth, an event which she was innocent of. (COMIC: Judgement Day [+]Alan Moore, Captain Britain crossovers (Marvel UK, 1983).)

Encounter with Wyldstyle[]

E.T. once joined Wyldstyle on the back of a motorcycle she was riding through Diagon Alley, and used his powers to levitate the bike into the air, flying past the Moon. (WC: New Adventures Await! [+]LEGO Dimensions promotional material (2016).)

Appearance on Meet That Hero![]

Supergirl Meets E.T

E.T. with Supergirl, the Twelfth Doctor, and the TARDIS. (WC: Supergirl Meets E.T. [+]James McLoughlin, Meet That Hero! (2016).)

Supergirl hosted a profile about him on Meet That Hero!, during which she noted several parallels between his life story and her own. At the conclusion of this profile, E.T. presented her with a Kryptonian singing flower he had grown using his abilities. Overjoyed, Supergirl declared that they should form an "alien club". The Twelfth Doctor, also present at the shooting, enthusiastically agreed, offering the services of his TARDIS to help. E.T. was fascinated by the blue box, letting out an appreciative: "Phoooone…".

At various points, he visited a town marked as "SP_ING__EL_", a forest where his spaceship landed, a town which he later flew over on a phone-like aircraft, a classroom, a field where he stood next to a phone which could get "crazy coverage", and another field where he summoned his "crew of intergalactic botanists". (WC: Supergirl Meets E.T. [+]James McLoughlin, Meet That Hero! (2016).)

Other references[]

Ello E.T.

The Ninth Doctor looks at a banner reading "ELLO E.T." (TV: Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)

In 2006, after a spaceship landed in the River Thames, people celebrated all over London, especially on the Powell Estate, where some residents put up a banner saying "ELLO E.T.", a possible reference to the character or just to extraterrestrials in general. (TV: Aliens of London [+]Russell T Davies, Doctor Who series 1 (BBC One, 2005).)

When Clyde mocked Rani Chandra's habit of believing aliens were behind unusual events in 2009, he jokingly conjectured that his bike had been stolen by "E.T. the ASBO". (TV: Mona Lisa's Revenge [+]Phil Ford, The Sarah Jane Adventures series 3 (BBC One, 2009).)

Other realities[]

Earth-33⅓[]

Mickey, Spielberg, and E.T.

E.T. next to Steven Spielberg in Earth-33⅓. (COMIC: The Incredible Doctor Who History Tour (No. 7.) [+]Tim Quinn, The History Tour (Marvel Comics, 1987).)

In Earth-33⅓, E.T. was next to Steven Spielberg when the Sixth Doctor introduced Peri Brown to him as one of the 'great men' who forged the nation of America into "what it [had] become today". (COMIC: The Incredible Doctor Who History Tour (No. 7.) [+]Tim Quinn, The History Tour (Marvel Comics, 1987).)

Behind the scenes[]

E.T. is a playable character alongside the Doctor and characters from multiple other properties in LEGO Dimensions. The webcast Supergirl Meets E.T. implicitly sets itself in the continuity of LEGO Dimensions, thus with the understanding that E.T. and the Doctor are from different dimensions in the multiverse: E.T.'s Earth is not the one from the Doctor's universe. In addition, the E.T. in the game is not quite that from the original film's universe, but a rebooted LEGO version with a materially different history and some unique abilities.
