OK, check this out, Stargate people.

So contrary to what I usually see in fan fiction, this source states that Daniel has three doctorates.

I was actually checking because most of the fan fiction I've read has him with two doctorates and a masters.

So if I were to refer to him as "PhD, PhD, PhD," nobody's going to get it, are they? It'll just be distracting. Yet if I do the two PhD thing, then it'll be wrong, and other people will be annoyed.

Thoughts?

I mean, besides "What a geek!"

If it's for comic effect, go for it. But I don't believe it is necessary to write out each advanced degree if they are the same degree type - academic convention would list him as Dr. Daniel Jackson, PhD (Archaeology, Anthropology, and Philology), unless it was in a publication from a university he attended, in which case they might give his most advanced title but only name the degree he earned from them.
