Ninth Doctor/Biography

== A day to come ==
The First Doctor would occasionally have premonitions of his future incarnations. (PROSE: A Big Hand for the Doctor)
The First Doctor was told of a time he would become the last of his species, (AUDIO: Falling) and was later shown footage of the Ninth Doctor, as well as his ten other successors, by the Testimony when he expressed doubt over the Twelfth Doctor's identity. (TV: Twice Upon a Time)
When the Third Doctor met Jackie Tyler while answering a distress call in 2006, he learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with a girl named Rose Tyler, and would also regenerate whilst in her company. (PROSE: The Christmas Inversion)
When he met the Tenth Doctor at the Cathedral of Contemplation, the Fourth Doctor noted the implication that his tenth incarnation also represented all the lives he would live until the the Tenth Doctor arrived at the Cathedral. (AUDIO: Out of Time)
Mawdryn attempted to force the Fifth Doctor to use up his eight remaining regenerations to end his follower's cycle of perpetual rebirth, but this was rendered unnecessary when Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart made physical contact with his younger self and a discharge of temporal energy was released that allowed Mawdryn and his followers to die. (TV: Mawdryn Undead)
After losing his body to the Time Lords, made a failed attempt to steal a regeneration from the Fifth Doctor. (PROSE: The Velvet Dark)
The Fifth Doctor was told by Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart that he had worked with eight other incarnations of the Doctor by 1999, including four of his future incarnations. (PROSE: The King of Terror)
After the TARDIS became "stalled in the equivalent of a galactic lay-by", the Sixth Doctor had a worried thought of Peri Brown growing old and dying in the TARDIS, while he would "go on regenerating until all [his] lives [were] spent." (TV: Vengeance on Varos)
When exposed the Valeyard's alliance with High Council to the Sixth Doctor at his trial, he revealed that the Valeyard was acting as the prosecutor for the trial in exchange for the Doctor's remaining regenerations. (TV: The Ultimate Foe)
During a premature encounter with Jack Harkness, the Sixth Doctor learnt that one of his future incarnations would meet and travel with Jack until abandoning him. Jack described "[his] Doctor" as a "fantastic" male who was "nothing like" the Sixth Doctor, who offered a pre-emptive apology for his future self's actions before assuring Jack that, since he was about to enter a healing coma, he would proceed to "edit" his memory of their encounter in his sleep so as not to interfere with their history. (AUDIO: Piece of Mind)
When Ace was sent into the Seventh Doctor's mind, she discovered a room with thirteen cubicles, seven of them empty, while the other six contained shadowy white figures, representing the Doctor's future incarnations. (PROSE: Timewyrm: Revelation)
After sealing Gallifrey away in a pocket dimension, (TV: The Day of the Doctor) the Seventh Doctor was able to recall teaming up with his other twelve incarnations to save Gallifrey. (AUDIO: Cold Fusion)
After using a Deathworm Morphant to possess a human body, tried to use the Eye of Harmony to steal the Eighth Doctor's remaining regenerations to heal himself, but his plans were foiled when Grace Holloway sent the TARDIS' into a temporal orbit. (TV: Doctor Who)
When the Eighth Doctor looked into the Tomorrow Windows, he saw the Ninth Doctor as what he might look like in his future. (PROSE: The Tomorrow Windows)
During the Last Great Time War, the War Doctor began degenerating back into his past incarnations after being struck by a degeneration weapon. (AUDIO: Past Lives) After an encounter with the Master on Planetoid 50, he had gained the ability to access future incarnations. (AUDIO: The Martian Invasion of Planetoid 50) In the form of the Ninth Doctor, he found himself teaming up with the Unbound Doctor, an alternate version of the Third Doctor, along with Liv Chenka and the Master, now in the form of the Lumiat. The four of them fulfilled a prophecy involving the Time Lord Immemorial, and prevented the destruction of the Multiverse. Not long after that, he received a distress call from his granddaughter, Susan Foreman, but as he started heading to the Diamond Array, degeneration kicked in again and he bid farewell to his future face. (AUDIO: Time Lord Immemorial)
While manoeuvring through a Dalek harvest ship, the War Doctor had Case trick the systems into saying that twelve other incarnations of him where aboard to frighten the Daleks to distract them. (AUDIO: Saviour)
== Post-regeneration ==
=== Born from the Eighth Doctor ===
According to some accounts, after the Eighth Doctor fought in the Last Great Time War, (PROSE: Osskah, Museum Peace; COMIC: The Forgotten) he directly regenerated into the Ninth Doctor after he had destroyed Gallifrey with the Moment, breaking his bones falling back into the TARDIS from the eyrie on which he had activated the Moment, destroying the Time Lords and ending the Time War. Once the regeneration died down, the Ninth Doctor, his thirst for life renewed despite the horrors his previous incarnation had witnessed, eagerly felt at his new face. (PROSE: Doctor Who and the Time War) Still wearing his Edwardian outfit, the Doctor arrived in Totter's Lane circa 2003, reeling from his regeneration, repeatedly muttering that "they're all gone, [and he was] the only one left." He then travelled to an Oxfam in Sheffield in 2004, where he attempted to exchange his Edwardian outfit for jeans and trainers. (PROSE: Have You Seen This Man?)
The Doctor would later recall that that he had destroyed Gallifrey and been responsible for the death of billions of innocent Gallifreyans. (TV: , ) However, later accounts would claim that these memories were created after his true memories having been wiped due to the timelines being "out of sync" from the presence of his future selves, thus meaning he did not remember having decided not to press the button on the Moment and instead saving Gallifrey, and subsequently caused the Doctor to repress all of his memories of the War Doctor, who had broken the vow of being the Doctor. (TV: )
=== Born from the War Doctor ===
According to later accounts, the Ninth Doctor actually emerged when the War Doctor's regenerative processes initiated automatically at the end of the Last Great Time War, after he had joined with his twelve other incarnations to put Gallifrey into a pocket universe. (TV: The Day of the Doctor) Having been delaying the regeneration for some years, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) to the point that his body was frail and had visibly aged into that of an old man, the Doctor believed his death was due to him "wearing a bit thin." However, due to the timelines being "out of sync" from the presence of his future selves, (TV: The Day of the Doctor) the newly-regenerated Doctor simply thought that he had been "born in battle," (TV: Journey's End) and believed that he had destroyed Gallifrey, and the death of billions of innocent Time Lords. (TV: The End of the World, Dalek) As a result of not knowing the truth, the Doctor began repressing the very memory of ever being the War Doctor, whom he believed had broken the vow of being the Doctor. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
After the regeneration, the Doctor smashed every mirror in the TARDIS, vowing to never look at what face he was wearing, as he thought about how many children he would need to save to make up for the ones he killed by destroying Gallifrey, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) while also vowing to earn back the name of "the Doctor" by making reparations for his wartime actions. (PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords)
== Recovering from the Time War ==
Filled with regret, (COMIC: The Promise) and deciding he "didn't need companions or friends", the Doctor travelled alone after the Time War, (PROSE: The Eyeless) wanting to save as many lives as he could to make up for using the Moment to destroy Gallifrey (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) as his "punishment" for surviving the conflict. (PROSE: Meet the Doctor) He appeared at Rio de Janeiro before 2005, (PROSE: Rose) and at Dallas during the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy on 22 November 1963. (TV: Rose)
Searching for a place to gather his thoughts on the outcome of the Time War, the Doctor went to Galen, where he found that something was causing the people on the planet to want to kill. Teaming up with news reporter Adriana Jarsdel, he found that it was being caused by a rift in interstitial space, created by Rassilon and the Time Lords during the Time War to trap a race called the Compassionate. Setting his war incarnation's sonic screwdriver to explode, the Doctor prepared to throw himself into the rift to seal it, and sacrifice himself in the process, but was intercepted by Adriana, who took the screwdriver and sacrificed herself instead. In doing so, they managed to seal the rift and left the Compassionate trapped on the other side, unable to influence the universe any more. (AUDIO: The Bleeding Heart) The Doctor later made a new sonic screwdriver to replace his old one, (TV: Rose) adding an extension feature to the emitter to make it less "grown-up". (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
The Doctor rode the TARDIS through a supernova to save a robot clown and spent a week trying to restore its higher brain functions, and then set it loose in the TARDIS corridors. (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) He had an encounter with River Song, who learned quickly not to mention the Time War around him. River wiped the Doctor's memory of meeting her with mnemosine recall-wipe vapour so the timeline would remain intact. (GAME: The Eternity Clock)
The Doctor followed traces of a Gallifreyan stone to 1939 London, where he discovered that RATS were also after the stone when one of them attacked Winston Churchill's secretary, Hetty Warner. The Doctor was reluctant to take part in events, allowing Churchill and his colleagues to investigate the incident. However, when Churchill was captured and refused to surrender, the Doctor had no choice but to intervene, stopping the RATS and saving the Prime Minister. (AUDIO: The Oncoming Storm)
The Doctor visited his old friend Plex to deliver the news that his home planet had been destroyed in a freak singularity, and discovered that Plex had created hundreds of clones of himself to populate the empty planet where he resided. In light of Plex having recently become the last of his species, the Doctor realised that Plex's plan made sense and gave him a modified Chameleon Arch biodata module to "copy and paste" his memories into the clones. (COMIC: The Promise)
The Doctor used erased days from a temporal weapon preserved by his eighth incarnation to restore Gernica to existence after it had been destroyed in the Time War. (AUDIO: Death Will Not Part Us)
== Embracing a second chance ==
The Doctor arrived in Southampton in April 1912 with a head injury. He was treated by the Daniels family, whose garden he’d arrived in. He spent a few days in their company, finding common ground with Arthur who was similarly a veteran of war, and learnt they were due to voyage on the Titanic. He helped expose William Spence's attempt to sabotage their shipping business with alien technology and then departed, stealing their tickets for the Titanic to save them from its doomed voyage. (AUDIO: Battle Scars) The Daniels kept a photo of them and the Doctor from their brief time together. (TV: Rose)
The Doctor went looking for adventures, only for every disaster he sought out to be resolved by his future incarnations by the time he arrived, with each of them leaving a card for him. After one incarnation paid for him to have a hotel room to relax in, the Doctor returned to his TARDIS to look at the cards, and felt inspired to visit Earth from them. (PROSE: A Day to Yourselves)
The Doctor stole an atmosphere destroyer from Althea Bryce and took it to Krakatoa in 1883 to destroy it, where he encountered a younger version of Althea. They deduced they were caught in a paradox as she would steal the device from him after which he would later steal it from her, a loop he worried would eventually damage the device and cause it to detonate. Althea eventually convinced him to tell her about her future self's actions, causing them to argue, and he began to suffer the effects of the paradox. After Althea came to a realisation that she didn't want to be the criminal he had described, the Doctor developed a plan with her to fake her future self's criminal reputation to avoid damaging history and for her to retrieve the weapon from Krakatoa to finally defuse it. (AUDIO: Her Own Bootstraps)
== Investigating the Ravagers ==
When a time eddy made the TARDIS land in 1959 London, the Doctor found that a Roman battalion had been brought to Piccadilly Circus by another time eddy, and helped Captain Halloran and Lieutenant Farraday to communicate with the Romans by utilising his Latin. The Doctor then headed to the Sphere of Freedom while tracking time particles found on the Romans, where he recruited a chef named Nova to help him find who was manipulating the time eddies before they threatened the fabric of reality. However, Nova was swallowed by a time eddy, and the Doctor and the TARDIS were thrown towards a neutron star by Audrey Mohinson, the CEO of the Sphere of Freedom, who had been using the time eddies for her video games. (AUDIO: Sphere of Freedom)
The Doctor was able to pilot the TARDIS away from the neutron star, and arrived at the Battle of Waterloo just as the time eddies brought forth other militaries to the battlefield. Realising Audrey was watching him, the Doctor tracked down Nova, and they went to confront Audrey, only for the Doctor to accidentally cross his own time stream, unleashing the Ravagers from the neutron star. Traveling down Audrey's past to stop her from inventing the device that would allow her to control the time eddies, the Doctor and Nova only manage to provoke Audrey into activating it in the first place. (AUDIO: Cataclysm)
After he accidently picked up Farraday from a gladiatorial match, the Doctor and Nova collected the others caught up in the time eddies and went back to confront Audrey just after the Doctor first escaped her. However, a confrontation occurred that resulted in the Doctor's capture, though Nova and the others escaped. During his interrogation, the Doctor uncovered that Audrey already knew him from an encounter in her past and his future. As Nova dismantled Audrey's device, the Doctor was sucked into a time eddy, which caused him to appear to Audrey through her life until he was confronted by a Ravager, but he managed to escape by summoning the TARDIS with the TARDIS key. Traveling down his time stream, the Doctor met with Nova once again and introduced himself to draw Audrey out, this time in the correct order of events. He then helped her to peacefully return the Ravagers to their neutron star, and persuaded Nova to take a trip with him in the TARDIS. (AUDIO: Food Fight)
== Drawn to Scotland ==
While observing the Serapheem migration, the Doctor received a call for help from Marnie McDonald, a teenager from Dundee, Scotland. Arriving on Earth, the Doctor discovered that the Serapheem had mistakenly broken down Marnie and other teenagers into their molecules, misinterpreting their desire to run away. With Marnie's help, the Doctor managed to link up with the Serapheem and convinced them to reassemble all the teens, returning them to their families. (AUDIO: Girl, Deconstructed)
In Paris, 1946, the Doctor met Artie Berger, a pianist haunted by an alien creature that fed on sound. After several attempts, and after helping Artie recover his passion for music and his love of life, the Doctor finally managed to trap the creature and throw it into the Vortex. (AUDIO: Fright Motif)
Another call for help took the Doctor to Occasus, where he was immobilised by Sacristan Hinge for ninety years. During that time, the Doctor's mind was held captive by the Incorporation, who had lured him there to take possession of his artron energy and be reborn. After resisting their torture for as long as he could, the Doctor pretended to surrender if they would allow him to move his eyes. He took the opportunity to communicate with Fred, the artificial intelligence guarding Occasus, and convince her to demobilise him. The Doctor and Fred then worked together to prevent the rebirth of the Incorporation; they finally succeeded by transferring the Artron energy into Fred herself, who became a living being. (AUDIO: Planet of the End)
In 1936, the Doctor got involved into the problems of the Hawthorn family of Dunberry Hall, under attack by mysterious assailants. He insisted on talking with them instead of fighting them, and managed to find their camp; here he was informed they were actually enforcers from another planet, come to arrest an alien war criminal hiding under the disguise of Lord Hawthorn. He helped them to unmask him, then went away - not without also helping the cook and servant of the house, Mrs Goose and Alice, to start a new life in London. (AUDIO: The Hunting Season)
In medieval Scotland, he met Gruach, wife of Macbeth, and helped her solve the mystery of a mysterious disease affecting the local children. Together they determined that the cause was an ancient entity disturbed by some sailors and feeding on the psychic energy of the young Lulach, heir to the previous king. The Doctor then recognised that the creature took hold of Kinade, Gruach's father, and also revelead he had been spreading lies about Macbeth, falsely accusing him of having killed the king to take the throne. The Doctor removed the influence of the creature from Kinade, and in doing so cured the children, leaving them to Gruach's care decided to take care of. (AUDIO: The Curse of Lady Macbeth)
On the planet Xythara, the Doctor helped Professor Flyn Beckett and his assistant Sasha Grey to save some endangered species. He then accepted Beckett's invitation to his funeral when the time would come. (AUDIO: Fond Farewell)
Finally arriving in 1925 to visit the set of Metropolis, the Doctor was surprised to find that Gustav Fröhlich has not been cast as the film's male lead, and horrified that a Cyberman was being used in place of the iconic robotic woman, under the guise of a "Machine Man" operated by Dieter Jovanovic. He intially assumed the Cyberman was controlling Jovanovic, and his suspicions appeared to be confirmed when the Cybermen killed the lead actor of the movie and escaped. He tracked him down together with Jovanovic, but he was surprised and ambushed by him: it was actually Jovanovic who had taken control of a dispersed and alone Cyberman, whose humanity was resurfacing. Jovanovic intended to use him to stop the production of a movie he felt "unpatriotic", because it promoted peace. The Doctor was able to break Jovanovic's grip on the Cyberman, and disabled him out of pity after they watched together the finished film. (AUDIO: Monsters in Metropolis)
Making good to his promise, the Doctor showed up to Beckett's funeral at Fond Farewell, when an avatar of the Professor's consciousness was also in attendance. He got suspicious when the Professor didn't recognize either him or Sasha, so he investigated into Fond Farewell suspecting foul play from one of his enemies. However, it turned out that the wife of the Professor asked to remove from his husband's mind the memory of their last months in order to forget his cheating, but the discarded memories took hold of the Attendants robots and started attacking people. The Doctor confronted the wife and convinced to let the Professor regain his memory, so they could have a real goodbye. (AUDIO: Fond Farewell)
== Further solo exploits ==
After going too close to a temporal contusion, something got past the TARDIS's defences, causing it to misbehave. The Doctor decided to chase after it, leading him to an abandoned train station. There, he met Saffron Windrose, who had been trapped there by the Grimminy-Grew, which also trapped the Doctor by altering space so that the TARDIS was not where the Doctor had left it. Both the Doctor and Saffron experienced strange temporal dislocations, seeing people taken from different time periods who were unable to see or hear them. The Doctor and Saffron were able to reach the other people trapped by the Grew and, by speaking to them, were able to deduce that the Grew had been able to trap them because they were unable to make an important choice in their lives or were making a choice that they knew they would regret. Mrs Hodkin, one of the people trapped by the Grew, told the Doctor that she heard its song about the Sileroon which helped him to identify who the Grew was. The Doctor challenged the Grew to a thought battle in which each took turns guessing the other's true name, with the loser to be cast into oblivion. The Doctor correctly guessed the Grew's real name on his third attempt, defeating the creature. The power the Grew had over the station dissipated, sending all of the trapped people back to the points they had been taken from. The Doctor and Saffron then said their goodbyes as they parted ways, with the Doctor leaving in his TARDIS. (AUDIO: )
The TARDIS picked up a strange signal leading to the Kremlin in 1605 just after the murder of Boris Fyodorovich Godunov. The Doctor examined Boris's body after Oksana Vladimirovna Kuznetsova told him how the murder happened. He then saw how Grishka killed Boris's heir and Aleksander Petrovich Kuznetsov told him what he knew of Grishka, including the relics he had stolen. He realised following the description of the orb in Grishka's chest that it was an alien control orb. After learning about Grishka's humanity still being inside the body, he wanted to save him. (AUDIO: )
The Doctor landed on a space station orbiting Venus and met Lenni Fisk shortly before Pal Andrews froze Kenton. He became worried when he realised that Kenton was technically dead. He tried to isolate the rest of the crew and set the TARDIS adrift. He realised that the creature was the entity known on Earth as Jack Frost. Lenni and the Doctor devised a plan to stop Frost using an exothermic reaction of Venus's sulphuric acid and water. He told Frost that he witnessed the Winter Lords' destruction during the Time War. He and Lenni jumped out of the space station without space suits to jump into the TARDIS. He took her to Jeanie and to her son to get him the treatment he needed. (AUDIO: )
He posed as the caretaker for a country estate in the North of England. He tried to convince Mandy Litherland not to investigate the house. He had organised for fireworks to be set off at midnight. After learning that Mandy wanted to travel and gave her a baton to return a year later. On this second visit, he protected her from the antibodies and showed her that the house was temporarily unstable and that he needed her help to stop it, so he kept inviting her back to the house. He missed a year which caused a problem with his plans. He realised that the house was merged with a damaged time ship. He helped Frank become a real person and not a manifestation of the broken time machine. The Doctor wanted to invite Mandy to travel with her but knew that she would not accept if she knew she could not return to the house. (AUDIO: )
He went to Salvation Nine for relaxation but discovered a peaceful community of a race descended from Sontarans called the Niners. He was impressed at how they had evolved, having forgotten anything of battle and developed agriculture and music among other things. He then learnt that the moon was going to be destroyed by the Free Galactic Alliance to wipe out the population of what they believed to be Sontarans. He tried to convince them that the Niners were peaceful and should not be destroyed, but was unable to convince them, only being able to buy time. He discovered that the moon was originally inhabited by another race, but they were wiped out by the Sontarans when they first crashed. He was about to allow the Niners to be destroyed until he discovered their birthing grounds and realised that they had truly become a new species. He presented this to the Alliance, but they were unconvinced. As a last resort, he abducted a Sontaran Field Marshal so that he would disown the Niners as Sontarans. He was able to do so by showing him the process the Niner birthing grounds, saving the Niners at the last minute. (AUDIO: )
	
He went to Delius' shop to get a part for his TARDIS, but was mistaken for a vet by Selo, to look at the last Zetacene Swine. He wanted to save it and repopulate the species. After helping Nel with her asthma attack, she told him about what Selo was doing. He devised a plan with Nel to win the Swine to save it. He became worried when the Zetacene was let out. He worked out a way to pacify the Zetacene. He realised that Sela was using the Zetacene to kill her friends to gain their wealth. (AUDIO: )
The Doctor landed in a submarine in a sea on Titan. He helped Rachel Bates and Diana Hendry improve the submarine to allow a deeper dive into the seas. Taking a trip with Diana, they encountered a massive living creature and then a colony of Sea Devils. He learnt that the humans' pollution from mining was causing illness amongst the Sea Devils and their retaliation was the illness spreading through the human colony. He recognised it as a derivative of the Silurian plague. He tried to encourage a peace between the two species and, after some difficulty, managed to succeed. (AUDIO: )
He stayed at the Bad Homburg Spa and was employed by Bertha Kinzky to teach her opera. After helping Bertha save the life of a drowning victim, he was intrigued at the burnt cabbage smell of the bathing salts. He learnt that Trinity had been using Ignus Furite to create soldiers from the guests of the hotel. He saw that they were getting them to fight each other, as proxies for their own war as they could risk being fined by the Shadow Proclamation. He used the Emerald Pacifite byproduct to counteract the effect. He then told the Shadow Proclamation what had happened. He tried to convice Bertha to become a novelist. He watched her acceptance speech for her Nobel prize. (AUDIO: )
He was investigating Flatpack (store) when he encountered Liv Chenka and Tania Bell. He immediately told them to leave. They couldn't find the exit despite many attempts. They decided to go back to the TARDIS but discovered it had been displaced. He was intrigued by how the store was anomalous. He theorised that everyone in the world had come to Flatpack, and that they were still in there. He theorised that the building was dimensionally transcendental. He asked to see the Manager and was taken to Colleague One. After seeing the future version of Liv he worked out the shop came from the future and that it was a system to keep people shopping. He nearly became a permanent part of Flatpack until Liv was able to destroy Flatpack and free everyone in it. (AUDIO: )
== Travelling in hope ==
The TARDIS warned the Doctor of an imminent collision due to its flight circuits being fried; he activated an emergency warning to notify the planet below. He was irritated that it turned out to be Earth. He was rescued by Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen, and was excited to see them. He was worried when The Aurora followed him to Earth. After recognising him as an advanced being, he convinced the Aurora to not feast on Nanson and Johansen as they were important to the history of Earth. After the Aurora fixed the TARDIS, he left and asked Nansen and Johansen keep him secret. The Doctor eventually took Nansen to the North Pole. (AUDIO: )
== Meeting Rose Tyler ==
While still "not quite calibrated" to his latest body, the Doctor was alerted by the TARDIS to a temporal problem in 2005 London involving the Nestene Consciousness. (PROSE: The Beast of Babylon) While tracking down the Consciousness in Henrik's, the Doctor found the shop's chief electrical officer murdered. Continuing his investigation, he encountered a group of Autons who had surrounded Rose Tyler, a young employee of the shop. Pulling her away from them, he warned her that he was going to blow up the building, and told her to run. By the time Rose had made it to the streets, the Doctor had blown up the store. The next day, the Doctor tracked down the signal from the amputated Auton arm he had passed to Rose to the Powell Estate, where she lived. After saving her when it attacked, the Doctor took it to his TARDIS, telling Rose to forget him, and tried to use the arm to trace the Consciousness's signal, but the arm was too "simple" for him to do so, (TV: Rose) so the Doctor left London to go on more adventures, including one in which he fought a pterodactyl.

After he stole an orb made from a collapsed star from the Exalted Holgoroth of All Tagkhanastria by pretending to be an emissary from the Crab Nebula, the Doctor chased the Starman to Karkinos, where, after he failed to persuade a picnicking family of Karkinians to flee, he used the orb to knock the Starman into the twenty-sixth dimension. However, he lost the orb in the confusion, and later discovered that using the orb had caused ripples spreading out the time stream that created a far worse Starman, that was also linked to his time stream.
Tracking down the orb to the daughter of the Karkinian family, Ali, the Doctor let her tag along with him to 2000 BC Babylon to defeat the Starman. While Ali remained in the TARDIS, the Doctor was met by the High Priest Zabaia, but things turned hostile when a curious guard went into the TARDIS and was slain by Ali. Now feared to be a sorcerer and a spy, the Doctor was taken to be executed before King Hammurabi, but was saved by Ali's killing of Gurgurum and the arrival of the Starman. After Ali handed him the orb, the Doctor rode her as she scaled up the Starman, and threw the orb into the beast's mouth, causing it to explode.
Landing near a palm tree, the Doctor was approached by Hammurabi, who apologised for doubting him, as well as Zabaia, who desired to add the Doctor to Babylonian history. However, Ali, believing Zabaia was going to try and hurt the Doctor again, murdered one of the High Priest's judges, swatted Zabaia himself away and advanced on Hammurabi, until the Doctor talked her down. As he dropped her off home, Ali persuaded the Doctor to return to Rose Tyler and get her to join him. (PROSE: The Beast of Babylon)
== Early adventures with Rose ==
The Doctor rematerialised by Rose and Mickey, a few seconds later from their perspective, and told Rose that the TARDIS was capable of travelling in time, before slipping his head back in. (TV: Rose) Watching from behind the TARDIS doors, the Doctor saw Rose give Mickey a farewell kiss, before running to join the Doctor in the TARDIS, having accepted his offer of companionship. (TV: Rose; PROSE: The Beast of Babylon)
For Rose's first trip, the Doctor took her to Platform One in the year 5000000000 to observe the Earth's destruction by the sun. While there, the Doctor befriended Jabe, a representative of the Forest of Cheem, after she learned that he was the only surviving Time Lord. Jabe consoled him and felt sorry for his loss, causing the Doctor to shed a tear out of thankfulness at her sympathy.
The Doctor saved the other sightseers from Lady Cassandra O'Brien.Δ17's plot to burn them alive for insurance money, at the cost of Jabe's life. He let Cassandra's frame of skin dry out and explode as punishment when he foiled her plan, ignoring her cries for help, (TV: The End of the World) though Cassandra's brain survived. (TV: New Earth) He told Rose of the Last Great Time War, and how he was the last of the Time Lords. (TV: The End of the World)
At Christmas in 1869 Cardiff, the Doctor and Rose found a deceased woman possessed by a Gelth, a creature turned to gas by the Time War. When Rose was kidnapped by Sneed and Company funeral parlour, the Doctor worked with Charles Dickens to find her, following Gabriel Sneed and Gwyneth to where other "zombies" had also been animated by the Gelth.
In Sneed's morgue, the Doctor had Gwyneth try and pull the Gelth through the Rift using her psychic connection to it. The Gelth, numbering in the billions rather than just the few they claimed, wished to wipe out humanity and take over their bodies, starting with the dead bodies in Sneed and Company. The Doctor, Rose and Dickens escaped from the Gelth by filling the room with gas, sucking out the Gelth from the cadavers. Gwyneth, who had already died from contacting the Gelth, blew the house up with a match, trapping them and saving the world. Before going off in the TARDIS, the Doctor said goodbye to Dickens, telling him that his work would be remembered forever, which made Dickens a happier person. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)
With Rose by his side, the Doctor was forced to park an alien spaceship in front of Nelson's Column, (COMIC: The Love Invasion) and took Rose to the Glass Pyramid of San Kaloon and Woman Wept, where they walked at midnight under frozen waves one hundred feet high. (TV: Boom Town)
While the Doctor and Rose were investigating a time puncture in 2005 Toronto, they became embroiled in a Causubus plot to feed off the time energy of Count Nikolai Artem Livosich when their investigation led them to 1812 St Petersburg. The Doctor was able to placate the Causbus by giving them a time ribbon filled with his own temporal energy, and then used the TARDIS to "plug" the time puncture. (PROSE: Rose and the Snow Window)
The Doctor discovered an alien spaceship was trapped between real space and the Time Vortex, and investigating further led him and Rose to the house of Lord Farthingale in 1920. There, the Doctor overheard a detective, Dr. Merrivale Carr, had identified the murderer of two people in the house as the society hostess, Glenda Neil. The Doctor and Rose entered the room, explaining to the houseguests that "invisible aliens" were the real cause of death. A haze appeared in the house and another guest, Bart Faversham, was suddenly thrown into the fireplace. After the guests reached safety, Rose explained that the trapped spaceship's engines were releasing an energy field that had been killing people in an attempt to move. The Doctor signalled the spaceship with the standard galactic code of the 455th century. As they were teleported on board, the Doctor and Rose discovered the ship's crew had died in the crash and the ship's computer had been moving on its own through an emergency program. The Doctor repaired the ship and he and Rose returned to the TARDIS on Earth. (PROSE: Doctor vs Doctor)
== Return to the Powell Estate ==
The Doctor tried to take Rose home the night after she left with him, but arrived a year later by mistake. To his surprise, a spaceship crashed into the Thames and alerted the world to the presence of aliens. Leaving Rose to her "domestics", the Doctor went to Albion Hospital to take a look at the spaceship pilot. After UNIT officers shot the awakened Space Pig, the Doctor and Toshiko Sato discovered the pig had been sent up to space from Earth in the spaceship by other aliens and that the crash had been set up to put the world on red alert.
After returning to the Powell Estate, the Doctor planned to go undercover to unmask the aliens within the government, but Rose's mother, Jackie, alerted UNIT to the Doctor's involvement and they escorted him and Rose to 10 Downing Street to help deal with the state of emergency. When the Doctor came to discuss the crisis, Rose was left in the care of MP Harriet Jones and the assembled alien experts in the room were electrocuted by the Slitheens. (TV: Aliens of London) Being a Time Lord, the Doctor held off the electrocution and transferred it to one of the Slitheen whilst all the other experts died.
The Slitheen framed the Doctor for their murders and ordered the troops to kill him. Escaping in the lift, the Doctor saved Rose and Harriet from Blon Fel-Fotch Passameer-Day Slitheen. (TV: World War Three) After they barely avoided the Twelfth Doctor, (COMIC: A Stitch in Time) Harriet led the Doctor and Rose to the Cabinet Room, and the Doctor shut them behind a steel barrier, saving them from the Slitheen, but also trapping them inside. To stop the Slitheen instigating a war, the Doctor contacted Mickey, and had him launch the Harpoon missile, UGM-84A, at Downing Street from the HMS Taurean. Rose found a small, sturdy cupboard inside the Cabinet Room, and, while the Slitheen were destroyed by the missile, the Doctor, Rose and Harriet hid in the room whilst 10 Downing Street was ripped apart and reduced to a pile of rubble. After instigating Harriet's reign as Prime Minister, the Doctor invited Mickey to join him and Rose on their travels, but Mickey declined, unable to handle the dangerous life led by the Doctor. Before leaving, the Doctor entrusted Mickey with a computer virus to erase himself off the internet, (TV: ) but Mickey was unable to bring himself to use it. (PROSE: )
== Continued adventures with Rose ==
The Doctor and Rose travelled to the site of Rose's estate before it was built in 1966 London. They discovered someone had been changing history, and a housing development called Brandon Mews had been built on the estate's future, even though there should have been nothing there except fields. The Doctor went to a pub to check The Daily Mirror for any other alterations to history, and discovered the football score in the World Cup had England scoring an extra goal against West Germany.
While the Doctor learnt from Charlotte Cobb that her husband, Peter Cobb, had mysteriously died after being followed by Lend-a-Hand girls, Rose went to Lend-a-Hand House and found that humans were also being converted into Lend-a-Hand girls. Travelling to Lend-a-Hand House, the Doctor discovered the Kustollon Igrix had travelled back in time, and planned to use Lend-a-Hand girls, initially made up of female humans, but later including biotechnology grown from Kustollon genestuff, to alter history so that humanity would be given whatever they desire and never venture out into space, and consequently never win a battle between Earth and Kustollia in 3046. Igrix' first major step was to destroy the Moon in 1966, preventing any staging post from which to break out into space. With the help of Peter's work on DNA resequencing, the Doctor created a virus containing genetic instructions from Rose in the form of perfume, which Rose threw at the Lend-a-Hand girls, making them humans with human instructions.
The Doctor and Rose climbed to the top of the Post Office Tower to stop Igrix using his spaceship to fire at the Moon. The Doctor did this by spraying the human virus at his biotech ship. The ship refused to take orders from Igrix, and flew into space to explore and spend some "quality time" with Igrix. Setting history back on course, the Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to destroy the housing development, and make them start over and build Rose's future home. (COMIC: The Love Invasion)
The Doctor and Rose visited the Christmas truce of World War I, where the Doctor got the German and the British armies to play football on Christmas by using his psychic paper to pose as a FIFA referee, leading to a day of peace before they were forced to continue fighting. (COMIC: The Forgotten)
The Doctor and Rose next journeyed to Justicia in 2501, where they encountered the Blathereen, cousins of the Slitheen family, who were plotting to use the planet's sun to reduce other worlds to cinders to use as fuel. However, the Doctor managed to stop them with the remnants of the Slitheen family, whom he was unable to stop from stealing their rival's technology. (PROSE: The Monsters Inside)
Soon after, the Doctor was asked to be a representative for an alien planet, but discovered the planet's "spokesperson", Akimus Makassar, was planning to take over the other visiting representatives' minds. The Doctor placed himself and Rose in a dreamscape to save them from Makassar and his army of Units. Escaping from the Units, the Doctor created a psychic projection of himself, which stole a Unit's mask and placed it over Makassar, trapping him in a mental feedback. (PROSE: The Masks of Makassar)
The Doctor and Rose travelled to a Vandosian ship, saving Phil Tyson from execution by the Vandos Tribunal. While attempting to return Phil to Earth, the Doctor was told he was a reincarnation of Shogalath, whom the Vandosians claimed was a monster for toppling the Vandos Imperium. While escaping, Phil saved the Doctor and Rose from the Bailiffs and made it to the TARDIS. The Tribunal threatened to destroy Great Britain if Phil wasn't handed over to them. They fired, but due to the Doctor's earlier efforts, the ship backfired on itself. Returning Phil home, the Doctor explained that Shogalath was in fact the leader of a peaceful revolt against the Imperium. Phil departed their company with a new lease on life, seeking to make a good future for himself. (COMIC: Mr Nobody)
On a human colony planet, the Doctor and Rose were attacked by the rain, but Jack and Susie saved their life by bringing them into their shelter. The Doctor discovered the rain was a living creature with the ability to easily cleave through human flesh as it fell to the ground and it was killing off colonists in their downpour because the life form was being killed. He went outside, and persuaded the rain to stop, saving a family of colonists. With the family the last humans left of the devastated colony, the Doctor guided them home in their spaceship, and he also inspired their son, Andy, to become a space traveller. (PROSE: Pitter-Patter)
The Doctor took Rose to see the Mona Lisa at the grand opening of the Oriel, a transdimensional art gallery in the 37th century, only for the Doctor to find that all the humanoids in the gallery, including Rose, had been enslaved by an artist called Cazkelf. Cazkelf used the psychic energy of the visitors to send a distress signal to his people so he could return home, but the Doctor freed Rose and set up a feedback loop, returning the stolen psychic energy back to its owners. The signal was still successfully sent, but Cazkelf's people did not arrive at the Oriel. The Doctor took Cazkelf to his homeworld, which had been devastated by a disaster. Afterwards, Cazkelf returned to Earth. Expecting to face consequences, the materialisation of the TARDIS before the visitors made them believe this was all part of a performance art piece. The Doctor advised Cazkelf to "delight and amaze" them. (COMIC: Art Attack)
The Doctor took Rose on a cruise on 22nd century Mars, where the two were stowaways on the cruise ship holding a private wedding party of 143-year-old plutocrat Alvar Chambers. When Alvar ordered the Doctor to be thrown into the Martian sea, the Doctor's body was taken over by a body-stealing entity that ate people by feeding on their worst fears, putting them into a state where their identities would dissolve within it while they were dreaming. The entity tormented Rose with a nightmare of the Doctor coming back too late in Rose's life for her to be a companion and then sending it spiralling into ruins to spite her. Rose saw through the illusion and found the real Doctor trapped within the entity, tasking her with freeing its surviving victims while the Doctor dealt with the actual creature. As the creature required a stable image refracted in the air to sustain itself, the Doctor used the artificial air inside the cruise ship's air bubble to create a "tornado". (COMIC: The Cruel Sea)
== Temporary association with Adam ==
Tracking a distress signal, the Doctor went to the Vault in 2012 Utah, where he found a lone Dalek had survived the Time War and was being kept, amongst other alien artefacts, by Henry van Statten. Consumed by hatred, the Doctor took pleasure in torturing the Dalek, even as it begged for pity. The Dalek escaped by extrapolating Time Vortex radiation from Rose's DNA and, with no orders, chose to destroy everyone in sight. With the Vault staff slaughtered, the Doctor prepared to kill the Dalek when it dropped its defences, but Rose stood in his way. To the Doctor's shock, the Dalek committed suicide due to its personality change making it deem itself an abomination.
Before departing, Rose asked the Doctor to invite Adam Mitchell, one of Van Statten's young employees who she had befriended, into the TARDIS as he had nowhere else to go. The Doctor left the TARDIS doors unlocked for Adam to wander inside as it dematerialised, (TV: Dalek) though his initial plan was to return Adam home. However, the TARDIS was knocked off course by a temporal tsunami and they arrived in Birmingham 2012 instead.
The Doctor was then forced to wait for twenty-eight years after being displaced to 1894 to catch up with Rose, who was herself sent to 1922. The Doctor ultimately discovered that the anomalies were the work of the Bygone Horde, a collection of echoes of races erased by the Time War who attempted to return to reality at the expense of the human race. Impressed by Adam's assistance in thwarting the Bygone Horde, the Doctor decided to take him on as a companion, setting a course for the far future. (AUDIO: The Other Side)
For Adam's first real trip, the Doctor took his two companions to the Fourth Great and Bountiful Human Empire to see the human race at its zenith. Pretending to be management on the news broadcaster, Satellite Five, the Doctor and his companions found the Empire had been manipulated into remaining secluded from the wider universe. Adam, suffering from severe culture shock, was left on his own.
Captured by the Editor, the Doctor and Rose found that the Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe had been controlling the human race from Satellite Five by manipulating information. Thanks to Cathica Santini Khadeni, one of the workers who learned of the truth, the satellite's heat was rerouted, sending heat to the Jagrafess's control room, freeing the Doctor and Rose and killing the Jagrafess and the Editor. Upon learning Adam was trying to learn about the future for his own gain, the Doctor evicted him from the TARDIS and took him home, leaving him with the forehead implant he got at Satellite Five as punishment. While Adam begged for another chance, the Doctor was unsympathetic to his plight. (TV: The Long Game)
== Further adventures with Rose ==
The Doctor took Rose to meet Althea Bryce and explained their meeting in Krakatoa. When Rose recalled that she had once seen a sketch of him at Krakatoa, the Doctor groaned that he had "another part of history to fake". (AUDIO: Her Own Bootstraps) When the Breebles replaced Rose with a robotic replica for revenge on him, the Doctor asked them both to recount their recent adventures together, and deactivated the robot with his sonic screwdriver when the robot's answers were inaccurate. (GAME: Robot Rose)
At Rose's request, the Doctor took her to her parents' wedding, after which she told him about her deceased father, Pete Tyler, and her desire to be with him as he died. The Doctor took her to the church where Stuart Hoskins and Sarah Clark were to be wed on 7 November, 1987, not far from where Pete died. After finding herself paralysed the first time, Rose crossed the path of her past self on her second attempt and saved Pete from a hit-and-run death. Rose's actions caused the TARDIS to be thrown off into the Time Vortex. Enraged by her actions, the Doctor suspected that she had only agreed to travel with him to save Pete and considered abandoning her in the past, though Rose insisted she had not planned it and the Doctor didn't go through with leaving Rose.
The Doctor, telling Rose and the wedding guests to rush inside the church, tried devising a way of stopping the Reapers that were attacking the Earth to seal off the paradox Rose had created. He started working on a way to repair the damage to the universe while leaving Pete alive for Rose. He used his TARDIS key, which was still linked to the TARDIS' interior, to bring the TARDIS back. However, after Pete accidentally made Rose hold her infant self, the Doctor sacrificed himself to the Reaper brought by the paradox and the creature was zapped by the key, killing it, but also interrupting the TARDIS' return. The Doctor was restored to life when Pete let himself get hit by the car, and Rose managed to be there for her father when he passed. (TV: Father's Day)
Taking a break, the Doctor took Rose to a cafe in Paris, France in the year 1923. As they ate their food, the Doctor entertained Rose by playing with the salt and pepper shakers at their table. (COMIC: Four Doctors) Taking Rose home once again, the Doctor saved the Powell Estate from Zargath and his invasion force by making it rain with the sonic screwdriver after Rose realised that Zargath's militia was allergic to water. (COMIC: Death to the Doctor!)
The TARDIS was forced down to London because of the presence of two Shadeys from another dimension, who had brought Robert Greene, a rival playwright of William Shakespeare's, four hundred years into the future. After realising that Shakespeare was remembered in the future while Greene was not, Greene used the powers granted to him by the Shadeys, powered by his "negative energy", to spread rot across London. When the Shadeys discovered the Doctor's presence, they decided to toy with the Doctor by meddling with time and have Greene kill Shakespeare in 1592.
Going back in time to protect him, the Doctor briefly took over Shakespeare's position on stage in the role of Richard III in the play of the same name. In return for relinquishing the power of the Shadeys and saving the world, the Doctor and Rose promised to remember Greene, and Green banished the Shadeys, returning to his deathbed where he was dying of plague. (COMIC: A Groatsworth of Wit)
The Ninth Doctor teamed up with all of his other incarnations to save Gallifrey from destruction at the end of the Last Great Time War, (TV: The Day of the Doctor) even joining them on the surface of the planet to save people from natural disasters that were occurring as a result of their attempt to shift it into another dimension. Shortly after meeting for tea with his other incarnations to celebrate in the Under Gallery, (PROSE: The Day of the Doctor) the Ninth Doctor lost all memory of the events due to the timelines not being synchronised. (TV: The Day of the Doctor)
When the Doctor and Rose visited Piccadilly Circus in 1977, Rose decided to tamper with history by buying the Stranglers album her mother had wanted in her youth. Rose then snuck it into young Jackie's room amongst her other albums. During their next visit to the Powell Estate, Rose brought up the album and Jackie revealed she still had it, thinking it was a gift from Colin Bennett. While Rose was pleased by her actions, the Doctor pointed out how easily Colin Bennett could have married Jackie instead of Pete Tyler. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle) The Doctor and Rose then watched Elizabeth II's coronation on 2 June 1953, with the Doctor commenting that the occasion was "fantastic." (COMIC: Where's the Doctor?)
The Doctor travelled with Rose to the Zaggit Zagoo bar on Zog, where Rose mentioned that, when she was twelve, she begged her mother for a red bicycle for Christmas, but Jackie couldn't afford it. The Doctor left Rose at the bar, and went back in time to buy her the bike. The Doctor bought the bicycle from Hildreth's, but it was soon stolen by Jinko, who wanted revenge on the Doctor for a previous defeat. The Doctor followed him back to his junkyard, and used his sonic screwdriver to bring the whole place crashing down. The Doctor quickly grabbed the bicycle and left to deliver the bicycle to Rose's flat in time for Christmas morning. (PROSE: The Red Bicycle)
On a return trip to the Powell Estate, the Doctor, with Rose and Mickey's help, defeated the Quevvil, who were using video games to choose victims for their mind control missions into the bases of their enemies, the Mantodeans. (PROSE: Winner Takes All)
The Doctor and Rose visited Jackie, who had become a very successful saleswoman on the Powell Estate selling Glubby Glubs: objects which helped people sleep for a full eight or nine hours. However, it turned out that the Glubby Glubs were taking energy from their users and passing it on to the seller. With Jackie's help, the Doctor stopped the corporation responsible and ended the Glubby Glub fad. (AUDIO: Retail Therapy)
== Adam's revenge ==
Feeling an incoming danger, the Doctor took Rose to Eleanora's monument, where they defeated the wealthiest man in the outer rim of the galaxy, Drake Ayelbourne of Altair VII, after he tried to take Rose. After Ayelbourne destroyed the monument, the Doctor and Rose were confronted by a cloaked figure, who revealed himself to be Adam Mitchell, who had sworn revenge on the Doctor after his mother had died from a brain illness because he could not use future technology to save her. After explaining his motivations, Adam rendered the pair unconscious, kidnapping Rose after he kicked the Doctor in the face. (COMIC: Mystery Date) The Doctor eventually regained consciousness and went off to save Rose, leaving a pool of his blood behind. (COMIC: The Choice)
Following a chronal trail left by the Eleventh Doctor as the Tenth Doctor merged their TARDISes together, the Ninth Doctor joined his other incarnations as they stormed Adam's fortress in Limbo to save their friends from Adam and . Adam had a change of heart when the Master attempted to destroy the eleven TARDISes by overloading them with the chronal energies he had stolen across the Doctor's timelines, which would destroy the universe as well.
Seeing that Adam was not intending to cause this level of destruction, the Ninth Doctor told him that this was his chance to prove him wrong over his past mistakes, and Adam turned against the Master, stopping his attempt at causing a cataclysm by blowing up the console controlling the release of chronal energies, but this act left him right in the fray of the resulting explosion. He died moments after the Master fled, forgiven by the Doctors. The Ninth Doctor mourned Adam's death alongside his other incarnations, and honoured him as a true companion on his memorial that they erected to remember him by. (COMIC: Endgame)
== The Kotturuh crisis ==
After the TARDIS fell through a Time Fracture, (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times) the Doctor and Rose arrived on a shadow planetoid during the Eternal War, where they were captured by Space Lord forces led by Rassilon. Upon realising he had arrived in the Dark Times, the Doctor attempted to flee with Rose during an attack from the Cucurbites, but Rose was snatched by a primordial class vampire, so the Doctor instead assisted the Gallifreyan forces in neutralising the Cucurbites. Making an ally of the scientist Androkan, he and the Doctor stole Rassilon's flier to pursuit Rose, and found her on a coffin ship, but were quickly captured by the vampires, who kept the Doctor alive for information, while Androkan was killed by an acolyte of the Three Mad Sisters, Friar Grystok.
Grystock took the Doctor before the Sisters, who had turned Rose into a vampire, but she had also beaten them and then made to attack the Doctor as an attack of Gallifreyan forces enabled him to gain the upper hand and send her to sleep. Assisted by a vampire slave Rose had befriended named Centia, the Doctor managed to escape the battle after convincing a leading vampire named Drogann to use the attack to gain freedom, giving him a synth-blood that enabled all the vampire slaves aboard to break their addictions and rebel against their masters. He also gave the substance to Rose, but she needed longer to recover, so the Doctor left her on a "cosy little moon" in Centia's care, (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty) while he stayed with the Free Undead as they searched for a place to settle and he investigated the Dark Times further until his search led him and the Free Undead to Mordeela. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass)
Aboard the coffin ship, the Ninth Doctor, alongside the Eighth Doctor, confronted his next incarnation's mercenary fleet. They attempted to persuade him to stop his attack on the Kotturuh, but he dismissed them as illusions and ordered his fleet to fire, (PROSE: The Knight, The Fool and The Dead) destroying Mordeela. In the ensuing Battle of Mordeela, the Ninth Doctor watched as the Vampires ineffectively fired on the mercenary ships, and eventually asked Ikalla if they could "pitch in" more after the Daleks were forced back by Brian the Ood, but was horrified when the Bloodsmen she unleashed killed the fleet's crew and brought them back to feed on. While he was able to negotiate a cease fire with his other incarnations in a telepathic contact, the Ninth Doctor was unable to make his forces stand down, and the Tenth Doctor escaped in his flagship, the only surviving ship of his fleet, in the confusion.
In the weeks after the Battle, the Doctor continued to help the vampires search for a planet to settle on. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) Accompanied by Ikalla, the Doctor visited the inhospitable planet Parvanna, where he and Ikalla were hunted by an invisible creature, which the Doctor kept at bay by keeping a sonic stake alight until they were collected by their ship. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times) When the coffin ship was attacked by the Daleks, the Doctor was saved by his eighth incarnation, who had already alerted the vampires to escape, but found that he had to take the Eighth Doctor with him in his TARDIS to flee the Daleks. (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) Together, the two Doctors went in search of their tenth incarnation on the planet Hoolan, where they discovered a malfunctioning time machine bridging the future to the Dark Times after its pilot had attempted to witness the Big Bang. They fixed her time machine and sent her back to her home time period. (COMIC: Tales of the Dark Times)
The Doctors eventually found their tenth incarnation on Entranxis, where they interrupted his meeting with the Death Brokers to rescue Ikalla, who the Brokers had captured after the Dalek attack on the coffin ship. The Daleks and the Kotturuh then attacked Entanxis, and the Ninth Doctor helped Ikalla escape to his TARDIS to rendezvous with his other incarnations aboard the Tenth Doctor's flagship. However, angered by their lack of concern for the dying Kotturuh, he set off with Ikalla to gather information to help them, eventually arriving on Birinji, where they met Inyit, the last of the Kotturuh. After his other incarnations destroyed the Dalek scout ship sent to kill Inyit, the Doctor learnt that the Daleks were planning to destroy Gallifrey in the Dark Times, and helped mounted a defence of Gallifrey , leaving Ikalla to look after Inyit. However, even with the Free Undead, the Doctors were unable to stop the Daleks' army of undead drones with Symbiont DNA, so prepared to collide the flagship with the saucer, in the hopes of the ensuing paradox wiping out the Daleks, but were prevented from doing so when Inyit used her final judgement to wipe out the Symbiont and the hybrids, ending the Daleks' assault as they panicked, fearing the judgement may spread to pure Dalek DNA, allow the Eighth Doctor to sneak aboard and force the saucer into the Time Vortex. After the Tenth Doctor left the Dark Times, (PROSE: All Flesh is Grass) the Ninth Doctor collected Rose and they left the Dark Times together. (COMIC: Monstrous Beauty)
== Meeting Captain Jack Harkness ==
The Doctor tracked a strange artifact to 1941 London, where, after Rose had wandered off, (TV: The Empty Child) much to his annoyance, (POEM: The Companion's Lament) he discovered the TARDIS phone ringing; on the other side, there was a boy asking for his mother. Investigating further, he followed Nancy, a homeless young woman who was feeding homeless children by stealing from people's meals that were left fresh on their tables, as they hid during air raids. She was being chased by a child in a gas mask who was terrifying her, and seemed to be endangering people. Nancy told the Doctor the "bomb that wasn't a bomb" landed near Limehouse Green station. Following Nancy's advice, the Doctor went to the nearby Albion Hospital. There, he found living dead creatures, with gas masks fused to their face, and identical symptoms, including a scar on the hand in the same place as the child that pursued Nancy.
Captain Jack Harkness, who had found Rose, tracked down the Doctor, thinking he and Rose were members of the Time Agency, and revealed the object was a Chula ambulance, which Jack himself had used to attract one of the agency as part of a con to sell half of the object right before a German bomb hit it, instead bringing the attention of the Doctor and Rose. (TV: The Empty Child) Jack teleported the Doctor and Rose to his ship, and they went to the bomb site near the hospital, where they realised the truth; Nanogenes in the ambulance had reanimated a dead boy and, due to their unfamiliarity with humans, had spread the Empty Child virus. The ambulance started its emergency protocols, calling in the creatures, who were ready to "tear the world apart" to find the boy's mother.
Every patient and soldier at the bombsite converged on the Doctor, Rose, Nancy and Jack. The Doctor fixed the nanogenes' mistakes by comparing the DNA of the child and Nancy, who was his mother, restoring the infected zombies to normal. Jack stopped the bomb from hitting the bombsite by placing it in stasis inside his warship and, when everyone got to safety, the Doctor destroyed the ambulance, making sure that history said that a bomb hit that location. The Doctor rescued Jack from his Chula warship just before it exploded, taking him aboard the TARDIS as his latest companion. (TV: The Doctor Dances)
== A TARDIS trio ==
After Jack answered a distress signal coming into the TARDIS, the trio found themselves in early 21st century Russia. After telling the soldiers present that they had orders to be there, they discovered a missing girl who had aged considerably. Taking the girl and a similarly aged body to the nearby research institute, the Doctor asked Rose to investigate the local village while he and Catherine Kornilova, a student at the research institute, studied samples of the standing stones the body was found in. They discovered that the samples aged both their hands, though the Doctor's recovered quickly due to his DNA not being "close enough" to the strain it collects life force from.
Meeting up with Rose and Jack, they went to an abandoned ship which had crashed and had been tampered with to collect energy from humans rather than wind and solar. Evading blue blob creatures attempting to power up the ship, the Doctor was able to thwart their plans and drain the ship's power completely, powering the creatures down. (PROSE: The Deviant Strain)
The Doctor intended to take Rose and Jack to the planet Kegron Pluva, but instead arrived in 2005 Bromley to investigate a time distortion, where he encountered Das, a Neanderthal who was transported from 29,185 BC to 2005 by a rip engine; a crude method of time travel that prevented anyone who used it from travelling in time again. Unable to return Das to his native time zone, the Doctor and Rose left him in 2005 with Jack and travelled to 29,185 BC to investigate further, where they encountered a genius named Chantal Osterberg, who intended to wipe out humanity and replace it with Hy-Bractors. After stopping Chantal, the Doctor and Rose reunited with Jack, who had spent a month introducing Das to the ways of modern life, and resumed their travels together. (PROSE: Only Human)
== Revisiting an old adventure ==
According to one account, the Doctor, travelling with Jack, met Rose during an Auton invasion on Earth. Together, the three stopped the invasion using cabbages to knock the transmitters powering the Autons down, and then celebrated with tea inside the TARDIS. (PROSE: Dr. Ninth)
== Memory fiasco ==
The Doctor wanted to take Rose and Jack to Excroth, only to find the planet destroyed, and them captured by the Lect, who demanded to know why the travellers had come to the Excroth System. As a squadron of armoured Unon attacked the ship, the Doctor attempted to lead Rose and Jack back to the TARDIS, but the three were intercepted by a group of Lect. Jack blasted off one of the Lect's arm so the three could escape in the TARDIS, though Jack and the Doctor inadvertently left without Rose as the ship exploded.
The Doctor and Jack tracked Rose down to the Fluren Temporal Bazaar on Fluren's World, a black market for time weapons, where they found Rose, who had been stuck there for four days after she fell through the Vortex with a tachyon inhibitor protecting her from the time winds until Glom picked her up with his ship's time scoops. The Doctor recognised Glom's weapons as being from Gallifrey, and flipped Glom's table in anger. In an attempt to attract the Unon, the Doctor announced to the crowd that he was offering his Time Lord mind for sale, but was transmitted aboard the Lect ship instead.
When the Unon arrived and fought off the Lect, the Doctor attempted to talk to them, but was teleported to meet the Unon Mother Superior, Arnora, in a sub-dimensional void. The Doctor agreed to co-operate with the Unon in return for his TARDIS being retrieved. After reuniting with Jack, the Doctor and Jack fixed a time fissure on Traxis using a temporal stabiliser. The Doctor was contacted by Rose for his coordinates, which he gave to her, only to find that she had joined up with the Lect and led their armada to the Unon's Perpetual City.
When the Doctor was taken aboard the Lect command ship by Rose, he learned that the Lect were Excrothian survivors who wanted revenge on the Unon for destroying Excroth with a entropy engine for their time travel experiments. Realising that history would repeat itself, the Doctor decided to take the Lect leader, Prelon Marleth, to destroy the entropy engine and the Unon with it, telling a disagreeing Rose that it was "[Marleth's] war, [and] his choice." However, Marleth was shot by Arnora before he could ignite the engine, so the Doctor threatened to do it himself if the Unon refused to surrender. He was then saved by Jack and the Unon Grand High Seer, Evja, from an attack from behind, but could not stop the engine's meltdown, or Marleth and Arnora from killing each other. Taking as many as he could, the Doctor took Evja and the Unon to a new planet for a fresh start. (COMIC: Weapons of Past Destruction)
The Doctor took Rose and Jack to the Eye of Orion, but found a giant ziggurat and the Hanging Gardens of Slarvia, which had been destroyed centuries before. The Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to discover a ship in orbit, which transmatted them on board and brought them face to face with Taggani, the most famous geohacker in history. After lamenting about Taggani's use of his helmet, an Aesirian world-shaper, to overrun the planet Campra with Argurian creepers, Taggani used it to form a mind-link with the Doctor. After discovering he was the same Time Lord who put his mind up for auction on Fluren's World, Taggani planned on using the Doctor's memories to recreate everything lost in the Time War.
However, the Doctor was able to enter Taggani's mind at the same time and discover that he was Brian Carrios, an art historian from the Braxiatel Collection who was expelled for being unable to spot a forgery. The Doctor used the world-shaper to broadcast Taggani's true identity on the side of the planet, before transmatting himself, Rose, and Jack back down to the surface. As Judoon ships from the Shadow Proclamation closed in on Taggani's ship, Rose pointed out that Jack's face remained on the side of the moon. (COMIC: Hacked)
When the Cybermen allied with Rassilon to take over history, the Doctor, Rose and Jack rescued Jackie during a Cyberman invasion in 2006. Having been robbed of the TARDIS, they used a stolen flyer to break the base of the Cybermen's operation, where they attempted to regain control of the TARDIS, only to have the console explode, activating the Cloister Bell. The TARDIS began imploding on itself to protect the Earth from its engines exploding, so the group evacuated to the flyer, where its shields were still up. During the chaos, Rose was partially cyber-converted and killed Jack. With Jackie safely in the shields of the flyer, the Doctor attempted to use his sonic screwdriver to confront the Cybermen and figure out how they converted Rose so fast, discovering an airborne element that cyber-converted his screwdriver into his hand, and began spreading up his arm. Leaving Jackie in the shield that would soon reject him, the Doctor attempted to return to the imploding TARDIS to collapse its containment field and allow the Eye of Harmony to rupture, destroying the Cyberman occupied Earth with it. Before it could, the Doctor and Jackie discovered that the energy had been syphoned away, before everything reverted back to normal. Still able to remember the events when everyone else forgot, the Doctor looked on sombrely as Rose and Jackie embraced each other, contemplating what had happened. (COMIC: Supremacy of the Cybermen)
Escaping to the TARDIS after planting temporal beacons, the Doctor, Rose and Jack received a video from what appeared to be Jack on the planet Gharusa Prime. Answering the call, the Doctor was bombarded by Yani Mamora and other admirers upon arrival, and was shocked to learn that an impostor was hailed as a celebrity on a show called Doctor Who?, before being attacked by fake Chumblies and being "rescued" by "the Doctor". He and Jack were arrested for impersonating the "real" Doctor, while Rose snuck off and discovered the other Doctor to be Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen wearing a skin suit based off the Doctor from Fluren's World. She planned on attending a peace conference on Clix, as the Raxas Alliance was on the brink of war. Slist then kidnapped Rose to act as her companion.
The Doctor, held for interrogation, was quickly released by Estiva, who suspected Slist was the true imposter. Reuniting with Jack, the Doctor took off to search for Rose and Slist, but gave Estiva a message to pass along to Yani, apologising for brushing her off earlier. The pair tracked Rose to Clix, and wore Raxacoricofallapatorian skin suits to traverse the forests of Clix in disguise. The Doctor mounted a Clixian spineback named Tiddles and brought the group back to the peace conferences, where they intercepted the plot to sabotage the conference. The Doctor and his companions then departed to the TARDIS, leaving Tiddles behind as he did not want to bring a pet along. The Doctor then received a phone call from Mickey Smith in 2016. (COMIC: Doctormania)
Answering the call, the Doctor met Mickey in 2016 San Francisco, and learned that Mickey had been trying to call his next incarnation for help after his wife, Martha Jones, had turned into a gargoyle. The Doctor discovered that a wormhole was passing through the city, which, coupled with the city's previous history, had caused nearby humans to mutate. The Doctor and Mickey followed the wormhole back to Shirov-three, and discovered that Glom was behind the creation of the wormhole. The Doctor drove a large tourist bus through the wormhole when it was at maximum capacity, collapsing it whilst also sending him back to San Francisco. The destruction of the wormhole reversed the human mutations. The Doctor then called Glom on his phone and blackmailed him into launching a rescue mission for the stranded alien tourists. (COMIC: The Transformed)
Tracking a gargoyle straggler, the Doctor, Jack and Rose found themselves on Earth, in the late 20th century, where they met Tara Mishra, who later revealed herself to be a UNIT soldier. They went back to the UNIT research base, where they met the Brigadier. After their adventure, the trio discovered Tara stowed away on the Doctor's TARDIS to come along as a companion. (COMIC: Official Secrets)
The Doctor was sent to the Hesguard Institute following the alleged murder of Tara, (COMIC: Slaver's Song) in reality a ruse to allow him to investigate the inner workings of the facility after seeing news of former patients committing worse atrocities than before. He was placed under the Bad Wolf Process, meant to drain all of his negative emotions and thoughts into a vessel known as a Sin-Eater. The resulting creation of a Sin-Eater modelled after the Doctor soon proved destructive, as, due to the Doctor's telepathic abilities, the Sin-Eater developed a mind of its own and began rampaging throughout the facility with malicious glee, eventually granting the other Sin-Eaters sentience. Soon after, the Doctor reunited with Rose and Tara and transported them to the Matryoshka drive, the source of energy running the Institute. He lured his Sin-Eater there, who began feeding on the Doctor's life energy, but was soon sent into the Matryoshka drive via a teleport slipped onto him by the Doctor. Jettisoning the drive into the Void, the trio made their narrow escape to an examiner shuttle as the facility dissolved in the face the time storm surrounding it. As Tara and Rose discussed their dubious victory, the Doctor piloted their shuttle in silence. (COMIC: Sin-Eaters)
The TARDIS was pulled out of the Time Vortex by a tractor beam and forced into landing so that the Doctor could be a guest on Slist Fayflut Marteveerthon Slitheen's talk show, The Slist Show Christmas Special. After verifying that Rose and Tara were safe and in the audience, the Doctor was alarmed to learn that Slist brought him on her show as a guest to bury the hatchet with General Yolaktorin of the Retjarvik-Sattavarian, who was shot through a rift after their regime was toppled by the Doctor.
As the General lunged towards the Doctor, he fell to his knees in pain as his makeup began burning him under the lights. Rushing to his side, the Doctor, commanded the lights to be shut off, used his sonic screwdriver to turn on the snow machine, burying the General and stopping his burning. The Doctor revealed that the General butchered most of the Chapadio race, and that this was a set up by to get her revenge on him. The Doctor then addressed Slist's audience, told them to have a family argument rather than watch television on Christmas, and shut down TVs across the galaxy with his screwdriver. (PROSE: Christmas Special)
== Battling the Void ==
Sending Jack to pick Tara up off of Nomicae while he took Rose to see Horlak to "fix" her after she saw herself become a Cyberman in an alternate reality, the Doctor took the TARDIS under the Pacific Ocean in 1886, but the crew of Madame Vastra's ship hauled the TARDIS onboard their ship. After Vastra and Jenny introduced themselves to Rose, they explained that they were on the search for Silurian survivors, an idea the Doctor quickly dismissed, arousing Vastra's suspicions. Vastra began to confront the Doctor about his secret keeping after Rose mentioned him bringing her to see a "guru with three eyes", but was cut off when the ship was attacked by a Myrka. The survivors washed up on the shore of an island where they were surrounded by Silurians, who incapacitated Vastra and brought the rest to Horlak., who explained that Rose's mind was fractured with memories of an erased timeline, and sought to have her healed before she had a psychotic break.
As Horlak began healing her, Rose heard Jack's voice calling out, setting up a psychic projection through Horlak. The Doctor was shocked to learn that the Fourth Doctor, there with Jack and K9, set up the projection to tell his ninth incarnation that the universe was being devoured, but was disrupted when Vastra and Jenny arrived. Furious with one another, the Doctor admitted to Vastra that the Silurians on the island were voluntarily quarantined by the Sixth Doctor, as they had a disease that affected other Silurians. Soon after, several of those present were corrupted by energy from the Void, but the Doctor quickly modified a Silurian gun to release those under the influence. Receiving another message from his past as he made to leave, the Doctor quickly dropped Vastra and Jenny back in London, leaving Rose behind with them to keep her safe.
The Ninth Doctor arrived at St Luke's University in 2017 in time to rescue his tenth and twelfth incarnations, along with Jenny, Bill Potts, and Nardole, from a mob of infected students, explaining that he was instructed to find them by their fourth incarnation. Fighting alongside Jenny using his modified Silurian gun, the Doctor and his future incarnations were soon distracted by a white hole opening up in the sky. The Ninth Doctor led his successors and their companions into his TARDIS after a corrupted Kate Stewart destroyed his gun, and the group learned that all thirteen versions of the TARDIS had fused into one. Following the arrival of the Eighth Doctor and Josie Day, who had managed to break out of the Void with aid from the other trapped Doctors, the Ninth Doctor helped to repair Jenny's bowship to take it into the Void and fix the crisis at its source.
Leaving the Eighth Doctor and their companions behind, the Twelfth Doctor flew Jenny's ship into the white hole with his ninth and tenth incarnations, where they established contact with their predecessors before discovering the source of the anomaly was the Eleventh Doctor, merged with a Type 1 TARDIS that fell out of reality; the Eleventh Doctor connected with it via telepathic circuit, but only accomplished scaring the TARDIS into attempting to seek peace by destroying the chaotic universe. The four Doctors concocted a plan to allow every incarnation of their TARDIS to speak with the Type 1, persuading it to jettison all it consumed and close up the white holes. Arriving back on Earth, the Ninth Doctor agreed to take Jenny back home and return his eighth, tenth, and eleventh incarnations and their companions back to their respective TARDISes. (COMIC: The Lost Dimension)
== Final adventures ==
During one adventure, the Doctor, Jack and Rose ate Kronkburgers together. While collecting them, Jack stopped River Song from assassinating the Doctor. (AUDIO: R&J)
Taking the TARDIS to 2006 Cardiff so that it could refuel via a scar in the rift that was closed by Gwyneth, the Doctor and his two companions, joined by Mickey, enjoyed some downtime in town before seeing that Blon, the sole Slitheen survivor of the attack on Downing Street, had become Lord Mayor of Cardiff. They concocted a plan to capture her and bring her to justice. Though Blon tried fleeing, the Doctor reversed her teleportation device several times until she gave up and took her prisoner aboard the TARDIS until he could return her to Raxacoricofallapatorius to face execution after her family had already been sentenced to death in their absence. The Doctor confiscated her extrapolator to use as a "power-booster" on the TARDIS and took her to a restaurant for dinner as her last request.
After he remained unmerciful towards her, Blon tried to tear the TARDIS and the Earth apart by making the extrapolator lock onto an alien power source that was refuelling on the rift, using the extrapolator as an interstellar surfboard to escape the Earth. However, the damage she caused to the ship opened the heart of the TARDIS, which turned her into a Slitheen egg. Realising Blon had a second chance in life, the Doctor decided to drop her off in the hatchery on her homeworld. (TV: Boom Town)
In 23rd century New Vegas, the Doctor, Jack and Rose investigated the ruthless vigilante the Whisper, with Rose and Jack going undercover. During the investigation, the Doctor received a message from his future self via an electronic billboard that he had to make sure Police Chief McNeil survived. They discovered that the Whisper had been created by McNeil to combat crime boss Wolfsbane, not realising how lethal a vigilante it would become. They attempted to talk it down from killing Wolfsbane, resulting in him stabbing it. The Doctor helped McNeil arrest Wolfsbane, ensuring he survived. (AUDIO: Night of the Whisper)
Travelling to the Battle of Minatogawa, the Doctor, Rose and Jack found a Volsci ship. When the Doctor's attempt to awaken the Volsci from hibernation revealed that many had died due to being in their hibernation chambers for too long, the lone surviving Volsci tried to self-destruct the ship to prevent the Volsci technology ending up in Japanese hands, but the Doctor convinced her to instead pilot the ship back to her home. (COMIC: Return of the Volsci)
== Last stand on Satellite 5 ==
Immediately after leaving 1336 Japan, the Doctor, Rose and Jack were teleported to the Game Station to be put in deadly versions of TV game shows. After escaping Big Brother alongside a contestant called Lynda Moss, the Doctor met up with Jack and they raced to save Rose from The Weakest Link, hosted by a deadly Anne Droid; they were unsuccessful in preventing the Anne Droid from seemingly killing Rose. Completely broken, the Doctor, along with Jack and Lynda, was arrested for breaking in and out of the games. However, he and Jack physically overpowered the guards and set off to stop the "entertainment".
Taking hostages in the control room, Jack found the TARDIS stowed away in an archive room. Using the TARDIS, Jack discovered the laser that "killed" the games' losers was actually teleporting them across space. Puzzled, the Doctor discovered that the Game Station was unknowingly broadcasting a secondary signal to an empty location of space, which was where all the losers ended up. Disabling the signal, the Doctor and Jack were horrified to find two hundred Dalek battleships. Establishing contact, the Doctor learned the Daleks had taken Rose hostage, but promised to rescue her and destroy the Daleks. (TV: Bad Wolf)
The Doctor and Jack flew the TARDIS straight into the Dalek command ship and rescued Rose. However, the Doctor soon discovered the Dalek Emperor had also survived the Last Great Time War, and had been shaping humanity for many centuries, converting the contestants into Daleks for its army. Knowing his fight against the Daleks was suicidal, the Doctor sent a reluctant Rose back home in the TARDIS, while he and Jack gathered a possible resistance consisting of gameshow contestants and operatives. The Doctor built a delta wave generator, a device that would "fry the brain stems of every living thing within a thousand miles of the satellite", but was not able to perfect it to work only on Daleks.
After the resistance, including Lynda and Jack, were all killed, the Doctor was unable to bring himself to destroy the Daleks and the Earth with the delta wave generator, proudly telling the Dalek Emperor that he would rather be "a coward" than a killer. Resigning himself to being exterminated by the surrounding Daleks, the Doctor was shocked to find that Rose had opened the heart of the TARDIS and become the Bad Wolf. Having absorbed the energy of the Time Vortex into herself, she brought the TARDIS to the Game Station and scattered all the Daleks and the Emperor's atoms into dust, ending the Daleks' plot. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)
=== Death ===
Knowing that Rose would burn up if she kept so much power in her body, the Doctor drew the Time Vortex from her body and into his own with a kiss, before sending it back into the heart of the TARDIS. He then took an unconscious Rose into the TARDIS, abandoning a resurrected Jack on the deserted Game Station (TV: The Parting of the Ways) after Rose had accidentally converted him into an immortal fixed point in time. (TV: Utopia)
Knowing that his possession of the vortex energy had caused cellular damage to his body, (TV: The Parting of the Ways) the Doctor looked back on his life, deciding what was "fantastic", and that it "meant a lot". (POEM: Shortness of Breath) He told Rose how he had wanted to take her to "so many places", such as the planet Barcelona. Trying his best to explain regeneration, the Doctor told Rose that they had both been "fantastic", and then regenerated into his next incarnation. (TV: The Parting of the Ways)

(COMIC: The Fountains of Forever)
During many failed attempts to duplicate the Tenth Doctor, defective copies of all his past incarnations, including the Ninth Doctor, were created instead. (COMIC: Breakfast at Tyranny's)
After the Eleventh Doctor was accused of committing deadly crimes against the Overcast, he brooded in the TARDIS for two days, imagining all his previous numbered incarnations, including the Ninth Doctor, interrogating him over the crimes. When he offered the rationale that he always left things better than he found them, they all turned and left him in disgust and disgrace. (COMIC: Pull to Open)
When the Then and the Now attempted to ingest the Eleventh Doctor's timeline, the Doctor briefly retro-regenerated back into his tenth and ninth incarnations, but the Then and the Now's attack was thwarted by the presence of the War Doctor, due to him being an "X-rated" period of his life that the Doctor resisted. (COMIC: Outrun)
When the Eleventh Doctor was attacked by the Then and the Now on Lujhimene, the Ninth Doctor was among the faces seen as the Doctor's timeline was almost destroyed. (COMIC: Running to Stay Still)
When the Eleventh Doctor entered into the T'keyn Nexus in order to defend himself, Matrix projections of his previous incarnations, including the Ninth Doctor, appeared inside it to defend themselves as well. After listening to his predecessors defend themselves, the Ninth Doctor was quick to point out that auditor Sondrah was more interested in the Doctor than the planet he was meant to audit, a sentiment that the Tenth Doctor agreed on. When the Eleventh Doctor began to deduce Sondrah's true identity, the past Doctors faded away as Oscar Wilde interfered with the Nexus. (COMIC: Dead Man's Hand)
When Clara Oswald entered the Doctor's time stream, she saw the ninth incarnation among the Doctors that ran past her, with the Eleventh Doctor claiming them to be his "ghosts". (TV: The Name of the Doctor)
