Editing The Master (Doctor Who) (section)

=== Comic strips ===
The ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' (DWM) 1992 Winter Special comic ''Flashback'' shows a young Master (here called "Magnus") and Doctor on Gallifrey. The Master plans to use a living entity to harness Arton Energy, only for the Doctor to thwart his plans.

The Master returns in a new body and guise, that of a street preacher, in the previously mentioned the ''DWM'' comic strip story ''The Fallen'', although the Doctor does not recognise him.<ref name="the fallen"/> The Master reveals himself a few stories later, in ''The Glorious Dead''. The Master had survived the events of the television movie by encountering a cosmic being named Esterath in the time vortex. Esterath controls the Glory, the focal point of the Omniversal spectrum which underlies all existence. The Master's scheme to take control of the Glory fails, and he is banished to parts unknown (see [[Kroton (Cyberman)|Kroton]]).<ref>{{Cite comic | writer = [[Scott Gray (writer)|Gray, Scott]] | penciller = [[Martin Geraghty|Geraghty, Martin]] | copencillers = [[Roger Langridge]] | inker = [[Robin Smith (comics)|Smith, Robin]] | story = The Glorious Dead | title = [[Doctor Who Magazine]] | issue = #287–296 | date = 9 February – 18 October 2000 | publisher = [[Panini Comics]] | panel = }}</ref>

In ''Character Assassin'' in ''DWM'' No. 311, the Delgado Master visits the [[The Mind Robber|Land of Fiction]] and steals part of the technology behind it, wiping out several nineteenth century fictional villains as he goes.<ref>{{Cite comic

In the IDW publication ''Prisoners of Time'', a 12-issue series to celebrate the 50th anniversary of ''[[Doctor Who]]'', the Master (drawn based on Ainley's portrayal) plays a major part. He is the villain in issues 6 and 7, attempting to trap the Sixth Doctor in an [[Auton]]-staffed asylum and encountering the Seventh as he attempts to drain the energy from a pair of higher-dimensional beings. The Ainley Master is revealed to have teamed up with the [[Ninth Doctor]]'s disgraced ex-companion [[Adam Mitchell (Doctor Who)|Adam Mitchell]], who is traveling through time kidnapping the Doctor's companions as revenge, the Master having presented himself as another 'victim' of the Doctor rather than the villain he truly is. His role in the plan after Adam abducts [[Clara Oswald]] culminates in an out-of-sequence encounter with the [[Eleventh Doctor]], the Doctor observing that it has been a pleasantly long time since he saw this version of the Master. However, when the Eleventh Doctor manages to summon his previous ten selves to Adam's fortress to rescue their companions when Adam threatens to kill them all, the Master reveals that his true plan is to channel his stolen chronal energies through the Doctors' combined [[TARDIS]]<nowiki/>es, thus destroying the Universe. Horrified at the Master's evil scale and encouraged to take action by Rose and the Ninth, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctors, Adam stands up to the Master, sacrificing himself to disable the Master's equipment. The Master escapes, noting that he enjoyed the chance to cause further chaos, but his plan has been thwarted. This is the only story in any medium {{as of|2015|4|lc=y}} in which the Ninth and Eleventh Doctors encounter the Master.<ref>{{Cite comic | writer = Tipton, Scott and David | artist = [[Simon Fraser (comics)|Fraser, Simon]] | coartists = [[Lee Sullivan (comics)|Lee Sullivan]], [[Mike Collins (comics)|Mike Collins]], ''et al''. | story = | title = Doctor Who: Prisoners of Time | date = 29 January – 20 November 2013 | publisher = [[IDW Publishing]] | panel = }}</ref>

2017 sees the return of Delgado's incarnation in ''Doorway to Hell'', a ''Doctor Who Magazine'' comic strip printed in DWM #508–511, set after the events of ''Frontier in Space'' from the Master's perspective.{{refn|group=lower-alpha|In part three, the Master mentions returning to Earth after the Doctor and the Master's "affair with the Daleks and Draconians".<ref>{{Cite comic | writer = Wright, Mark | artist = [[Staz Johnson|Johnson, Staz]] | colorist = Offredi, James | letterer = [[Roger Langridge|Langridge, Roger]] | editor = [[Scott Gray (writer)|Gray, Scott]] | story = Doorway to Hell Part Three | title = [[Doctor Who Magazine]] | issue = #510 | date = April 2017 | publisher = [[Panini Comics|Panini UK Ltd]] | location = Tunbridge Wells | page = 37 | panel = 2 }}</ref>}} This depicts an out-of-sequence encounter between Delgado's Master and the [[Twelfth Doctor]] in the year 1973, with the Master initially assuming that the Twelfth Doctor is the Fourth who regenerated after an explosion in the TARDIS that left the Doctor trapped on Earth in this time, until the Doctor informs his foe that he is from far in the Master's future. At the story's conclusion the critically wounded Master regenerates inside his TARDIS after the Doctor and the human family he has been living with deflects an attack with the "artron energy" the family absorbed while the Doctor's TARDIS was healing in their garden.<ref>{{Cite comic | writer = Wright, Mark | artist = [[Staz Johnson|Johnson, Staz]] | colorist = Offredi, James | letterer = [[Roger Langridge|Langridge, Roger]] | editor = [[Scott Gray (writer)|Gray, Scott]] | story = Doorway to Hell | title = [[Doctor Who Magazine]] | issue = #508–511 | date = February – May 2017 | publisher = [[Panini Comics|Panini UK Ltd]] | location = Tunbridge Wells | panel = }}</ref>
