The Third Universe was a universe whose timeline was travelled through by the Doctor and the TARDIS.
History
It had an apparently native version of the Shifter, who had fair hair and Asian features, and was distinguished by her tiger-stripes-patterned jacket. Another Jenny, having shifted into her body, once faced a firing squad in the middle of a burning, wartorn city. She escaped by shifting physically away, while also shifting her consciousness to a different Jenny, presumably leaving the native Jenny back in control of herself wherever she'd ended up. Moments after Jenny had dematerialised, the TARDIS materialised in front of the firing squad. (COMIC: The Late Shift)
At some point, a Jenny travelled up and down the Doctor's timelines. She first met the Fourth Doctor, nabbing his scarf, before bumping into the Seventh Doctor and Ace on an alien planet, quickly befriending the later. She finally visited the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald, keeping out of sight but graffitiing “Ace Rules OK!” on the doors of the TARDIS. (PROSE: Ace Rules OK!, Photo shoot)
A time- and dimension-traveller from the Third Universe, whose name was redacted, was monitored by the Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids as a neutral party who could potentially pose a Hyper-class threat to them. (PROSE: The Case Against Conspiracy) Their universe was involved in the Rifts Crisis, with Pythagoras-858 and Jenny Everywhere discovering that, in a bowtie-wearing incarnation, he had apparently solved one of the Rifts epidemic's possible starting points, within his own universe. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
Century Smith and Briar were familiar with a “nasty lot” of warmongering cyborgs from the Third Universe, who were among the species competing for the title of Supreme Cyborg in December 2021, together with the Detraxxi, the Mecharons, the Mechamites and the Electrons, among others. (PROSE: The Winter Quests)
Behind the scenes
The Third Universe is one of the names given to the native universe of the Doctor in the Doctor Who franchise and its spin-offs (which had significant influence on the creation of "the Shifter"). Additionally, a number of other works of fiction have been shown to depict real events in this universe, including some anterior to Doctor Who's 1963 debut, such as H.G. Wells's War of the Worlds or Arthur Canon Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short story.
Interestingly, in 2008, a new character was introduced to the series: the artificially-created daughter of the Doctor, known only as Jenny. This Jenny (played by Georgia Tennant), who ended her debut episode by becoming a traveller in time and space in her own right, separate from her father, was characterised as a cheerful adventurer with a ready smile. It has thus obviously been theorised by some fans that Jenny, the Doctor's Daughter, may eventually come into her own as an incarnation of Jenny Everywhere. Although she does not quite resemble the unofficial "DWU Jenny" depicted in COMIC: The Late Shift, it is widely speculated that the "Doctor's Daughter" Jenny may be capable of regeneration, which could allow for a change in appearance.
It is not clear if the “nasty lot” of Cyborgs from the Third Universe mentioned in The Winter Quests should be understood as the Cybermen or as the Cyberons.
Notes and references
- ↑ First appearance in directly Jenny-related media; actual debut was in 1963's An Unearthly Child.
