Clemente Marcelino Valencia Nájera (17 July 1968 – 11 October 2011) was a Mexican luchador enmascarado, or masked professional wrestler, better known by the ring name Doctor X, under which he worked for the Mexican professional wrestling promotion Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) for most of his career, winning the Mexican National Welterweight Championship and the Mexican National Trios Championship, teaming with Sangre Azteca and Nitro. Doctor X was a member of Pandilla Guerreras and the co-leader of Los Guerreros Tuareg. In August 2011, Valencia quit CMLL and joined Perros del Mal Producciones under the new ring name Doctor X-Treme. Valencia also previously worked as "Dr. O'Borman, Jr." a name he licensed from the original Dr. O'Borman. Throughout his career, Doctor X's real name was not a matter of public record, as is often the case with masked wrestlers in Mexico where their private lives are kept a secret from the wrestling fans. He was killed on 11 October 2011 when trying to break up a fight.
Valencia began his wrestling career in 1995 after training under Rafael Salamanca, La Cobra and Scorpio (Sr.), he would later receive additional training from Memo Díaz and El Satánico. Initially he worked as Dr. O'Borman, Jr., paying the original Dr. O'Borman for the use of the name. By the end of the 1999s he began working regularly for Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL). By 2000 problems with who had the right to the name "Dr. O'Borman, Jr." arose, forcing him to give up the name. Together with CMLL owner Paco Alonso they came up with the concept of "Doctor X", a "evil doctor" in the vein of Dr. Wagner, Jr., wearing all white with a big "X" on his mask. Later on the masks and outfits would become increasingly colorful. Doctor X's first real chance to prove himself came in 2001 where he participated in that year's Gran Alternativa tournament. He teamed with Gran Markus, Jr., but lost to eventual tournament winners Olímpico and Sicodelico, Jr. in the first round. Over the next couple of years Doctor X kept working low card matches, slowly establishing a name for himself. In early 2003 Doctor X began a storyline feud with Tigre Blanco, the reigning Mexican National Welterweight Champion at the time. On 11 March 2003, Doctor X defeated Tigre Blanco to win the championship, a title he would hold for over two years. In 2004 he once again competed in the Gran Alternativa, teaming with Último Guerrero. The team defeated Último Dragón and Neutron in the first round and Shocker and Alan Stone in the second round before losing to El Hijo del Santo and Místico in the finals.
