Doctor Who ended in 2017. Up to 2017 the Doctor was the same character 
he was in 1963.

In literature following the principles of good writing character's 
origin stories do not change and must never change. Superman was born on 
Krypton to Dur-El and sent to Earth in order to save his life when the 
planet exploded. He was then found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha 
Kent and because of how they brought him up used his powers to help 
others. He was not created to be a monster by being experimented on, 
tortured, and murdered as a child in order to bring about the end of 
civilisation. That character is Doomsday not Superman. The Doctor is the 
Doctor not the Timeless Child.
