The Doctor

The titular character from the series, “Doctor Who.” Accounts of the Doctor’s origin are often contradictory and shrouded in mystery. Apparently a “Time Lord” from the planet Gallifrey, the Doctor stole a “Time and Relative Dimension in Space” (TARDIS) which is, simply put, a sentient hybrid between a spacecraft and a time machine. Since then, the Doctor has been traveling the universe fighting the forces of evil. “The Doctor” is a title, his real name being d³∑x₂. Time Lords have the remarkable ability to “regenerate” their bodies if fatally injured, which is why the Doctor’s appearance and personality constantly changes. The Doctor’s TARDIS takes the form of an old-fashioned British police box which is “bigger on the inside.”
