Behind the scenes

Doctor Omega originated in the 1906 science fiction novel Doctor Omega by Arnould Galopin, which related his first travel in space aboard the spacecraft Cosmos. The character experienced a renaissance starting in 2003 after it was discovered by the Doctor Who fandom; a certain structural similarity between the plot of the novel and the premise of the Doctor Who series, combined with a striking resemblance between the illustratons given of Doctor Omega and the first incarnation of the Doctor, led some to suspect that the character had been an inspiration for Doctor Who; at any rate, it gave rise to a number of Doctor Omega retellings and continuations marketed at Doctor Who fans, occasionally to the point of using Doctor Omega as a thinly-veiled public-domain analogue for the BBC character.
