History Awesome / DoctorWhoMagazine

On television, in audio dramas, even in sequential art, ''Series/DoctorWho'' has many moments of awesome to pick from.

* Junior Cyberleader Kroton was once the single Cyberman capable of feeling emotions, who after a really strange day was forced to escape from the Cybermen and [[WalkingTheEarth roam the]] [[InSPACE universe]]. Then it was revealed he was able to pound a squad of Sontarans into submission. Then he joins with the Eighth Doctor. Then he saves both him and his companion in turn from a band of pirates. Then he happily blows off his race's obsession with logic upon seeing the TARDIS' interior, proving he's not a machine. Then he fights a superpowered immortal to a standstill. Then his mind is fully restored. Then he's granted the trophy the Master wanted in ''The Glorious Dead'', ruins his plans, returns time to its proper course, ejects him from the TARDIS and leaves the Universe to godhood.

* "The Glorious Dead" is an [=MoA=] for [[spoiler:the Master. He changes the course of history so his forces end up ruling the Earth for centuries - by taking advantage of the Doctor's earlier meddling, something he's quite happy to point out to the Doctor in the course of a [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech massive put-down]]. And that's just a distraction from [[CosmicKeystone what he's really after.]] ]]

* "Uninvited Guest": the Seventh Doctor, in full Oncoming Storm mode, takes down a group of Eternals who manipulated a world into destroying itself. The ''method'' by which he defeats them is the true source of the awesome. [[spoiler:He basically pulls a reversal of the punishment he'd later inflict on the Family of Blood and makes the Eternals mortal. He gave each of them the gift of a single, mortal life so that they'd understand the value of what they so callously destroyed.]]

-->'''Majenta''':[[spoiler:The face isn't listening. Talk to the hand. (Cue four huge, villain-defeating laser beams from the hand-shaped God Machine.)]]

** Can't talk about that story without mentioning [[spoiler: Creator/{{Socrates}} [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath using the above example to convince a psychic construct that thinks it's Zeus that it isn't the Greek God.]] (Or, as he puts it, "Asking the awkward questions".)]]
* "ComicBook/HuntersOfTheBurningStone": While the Eleventh Doctor and [[spoiler: Ian]] are trapped in a psychic realm that brings the Doctor's memories to life, the Doctor and [[spoiler: Ian]] witness some of the heroic moments from all the Doctor's past regenerations. Including [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E3TheIceWarriors the Second Doctor fighting an Ice Warrior]], the Third Doctor karate chopping a villain, [[Recap/DoctorWhoTVMTheTVMovie the Eighth fighting with the Master]], [[Recap/DoctorWho2005CSTheChristmasInvasion and Ten sword-fighting with a Sycorax]], among others.
** [[spoiler:Ian]] at one point saves The Doctor from one of the Hunters, by bashing him in ''the head'' with a sword made of psychic metal. For his part, The Doctor is suitably impressed.
--> '''Doctor''': The [[spoiler:Knight of Jaffa]] strikes again!
* "The Blood of Azrael" has [[spoiler:Annabel Lake]] tricking Azrael [[spoiler:or Danny Fisher]] into defeat by [[FakeDefector pretending to join him]].

* Rory tops himself, and quite possibly takes the all-time Companion Crowning Moment, in "Chains of Olympus" where he lets out a PreAssKickingOneLiner in the form of "Hi, honey! Is this bloke bothering you?", announces himself as Roranicus the First of the Upper Leadworth Empire, and whips out a YourMom joke... all before taking on ''Ares, the Greek god of war'' in SINGLE COMBAT, '''and wiping the floor with him.''' Eat your heart out, Kratos.
