He got the idea from DC Comics in order to turn the Doctor into Doomsday.

There are no incarnations of the Doctor before Hartnell.

Big Finish is not canon and neither is Doctor Ruth, unless you mean the 
psychologist.

Officially non-canon.

The ones claiming incarnations before Hartnell are hallucinating and 
smoking opium.

No one in their right mind could be stupid enough to believe a totally 
insane conspiracy theory that completely erases the character of the 
Doctor and replaces him with a monster based on Doomsday.

And now with the bigeneration bullshit attached to it it's become even 
more incredulous, unbelievable, and unacceptable. Like there's billions 
of copies of the Doctor running around because every Doctor, even the 
Timeless Child monster if you're stupid enough to believe that 
ridiculous garbage, regenerated into two copies, and each of these 
copies bigenerated again, and then the copies of the copies of the 
copies bigenerated until by the 64th bigeneration there's 
18,446,744,073,709,551,616 Doctors, and 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 
TARDISes.

Don't make me laugh!

Doctor Who ended in 2017.
