34[[AC:[[Characters/DoctorWhoMasters The Master]]]]
35[[folder:Examples]]
36* The "[[EvilCounterpart UNIT Years]]" Master is the first incarnation to appear in the series and still remains one of the worst. The Master is a petty megalomaniac who hides under [[WickedCultured a veneer of suave charm and culture]]. Murdering a scientist in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS8E1TerrorOfTheAutons his first appearance]], the Master leaves his shrunken corpse to signify his arrival. [[DiabolicalMastermind Masterminding]] the Nestene invasion, the Master causes numerous casualties and hypnotizes Jo into blowing herself up, along with the Doctor and everyone within the UNIT Headquarters. When this fails, the Master engineers his other nefarious plans: using a mind parasite to kill people through experiencing their worst fears; trying to start WorldWarIII with a nuclear missile; assisting the Sea Devils in reconquering the Earth by wiping out mankind, just to spite the Doctor and his love of humanity; using Kronos to destroy the entire civilization of Atlantis; and framing the Earth and Draconian Empire's for attacks on one-another, hoping to engineer a bloody war between the two, leaving them too weak to fight off an upcoming Dalek invasion. On the brink of death, the Master manipulates the ambitious Goth into assassinating the Lord High President, framing the Doctor, while he enacts a plan to ensure his survival, almost wiping out the Time Lords in the process. When this also fails, the Master plots his revenge for decades before trying to take the Doctor's body and remaining regenerations. Cruel until the end, this incarnation's [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E6TheKeeperOfTraken final act]] is to [[GrandTheftMe hijack the body]] of the kind-hearted Tremas, killing him in the process.
37* This results in the "[[CardCarryingVillain Tremas]]" Master who has the highest body count of any Master. This Master posesses all the [[EvilGenius intelligence]] of his predecessors, coupled with a thoroughly unstable mind. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS18E7Logopolis First seen]] while attempting to conquer Logopolis, the Master's attack accidentally causes the universe to begin collapsing, leaving a quarter of it destroyed by misfortune before it's stopped. Pretending to help the Doctor stop the destruction of the universe, the Master betrays and tries to use the peril to either take control of the universe, or allow it to be destroyed; he also kills the Fourth incarnation of the Doctor when he foils his plans. Kidnapping Adric, the Master uses him as a living computer to painfully force him to create Castrovalva to almost kill the recently regenerated Doctor. Attempting to steal the power of the nearly extinct [[EnergyBeings Xeraphin]], the Master murders the first-born Xeraphin and engineers a schism that results in a purely malevolent nature for the Xeraphin HiveMind. Sending vicious Cheetah People to Earth, the Master kidnaps many innocent humans to use as prey or be infected and become Cheetah People themselves. Infected himself, he engineers his escape to Earth and tries to build an army of Cheetah People from a supply of brainwashed youths. Uncaring that his meddling would result in the obliteration of Earth, this incarnation of the Master was a destructive sociopath who reveled in his own vile nature.
38* The "[[Characters/DoctorWhoJohnSimmsMaster Harold Saxon]]" Master is an unfathomably cruel, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]] psychopath who first appears in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS29E11Utopia Utopia]]". After successfully conquering Earth, the Master orders the population be decimated for no other reason than to [[PsychopathicManchild satisfy his own violent impulses]]. Becoming a despot, the Master forces prisoners to watch as he incinerates Japan for his own amusement and abuses his servants and even his own wife. When the Master's mistreatment of his wife leads her to fatally shoot him, he refuses to regenerate, amused by the pain the Doctor will feel at being the last of the Time Lords. Once resurrected, the Master returns with an unending hunger, which he satisfies by trying to devour all humans. Although seemingly killed by Rassilon, the Master returns, creating a facility which agonizingly converts people into [[Characters/DoctorWhoCybermen Cybermen]]. The Master falsely befriends companion Bill Potts over ten years, just to wait to cyberize her when the Doctor comes to save her in order to [[KickTheDog drink in her crushing despair]]. [[CardCarryingVillain Loving how evil he is]] and not wanting to ever change, this Master murders [[Characters/DoctorWhoMissy his own future incarnation]], putting his own existence in jeopardy to avoid any version of himself aiding the Doctor.
39* The [[PsychopathicManchild "O"]] Master [[SanitySlippage sheds any remaining semblance of sanity]] and becomes a full-on [[AxCrazy unhinged psychopath]]. Even before [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E1E2Spyfall his first appearance]], he had already slaughtered everyone on Gallifrey upon learning of the Doctor's identity as the Timeless Child. On Earth, the Master organized the invasion of interdimensional beings known as the [[EldritchAbomination Kasaavin]], hoping to use them to kill everyone on Earth before taking care of them and his accomplice, Daniel Barton. Returning in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS38E10TheTimelessChildren the season 38 finale]], the Master tortured the Doctor with the truth about the Timeless Child, all the while luring Ashad, the Lone Cyberman, to Gallifrey before killing him and using the Cyberium to create Time Lord-Cyberman hybrids to conquer the universe. [[Recap/DoctorWho2022CENThePowerOfTheDoctor Later returning]] in the guise of UsefulNotes/GrigoriRasputin, the Master teams up with the Cyberman and Daleks in order to make Earth a foundry for both, by triggering every volcano on the planet and killing every human on it. Kidnapping the Doctor and forcibly regenerating her into himself, The Master plans on ruining the Doctor's name by using their body to terrorize the universe and, when this is reversed, spitefully tries to [[HeroKiller kill the Doctor]], leading to her regeneration. Defined by his [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy of the Doctor]] and [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex deep self-loathing]], the Master didn't care who he hurt or killed in his attempts to destroy his nemesis and their legacy.

43[[folder:Examples]]
44* [[EldritchAbomination The Great Intelligence]] was one of The Doctor's vilest and most powerful recurring foes. Arrogant, extremely callous, and sadistic in nature, on multiple occasions the Intelligence attempted to conquer the Earth and [[KillAllHumans wipe out mankind]], solely to grant itself a permanent physical form. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS5E2TheAbominableSnowmen For one such plot in its debut]], the Intelligence enslaved a kindly Tibetan monk, and kept the man alive for 300 years solely to serve it, leaving its victim with just enough freedom to [[AndIMustScream be aware of this]] and to be tormented by the knowledge of [[PeoplePuppets what he had been used for]]. A being of pure consciousness, the Intelligence casually used its powers to brainwash, [[DemonicPossession possess innocent people]], or [[YourSoulIsMine harvest the souls of living beings]] in the pursuit of its plans. The Intelligence also practiced a cruel form of destruction on people, manipulating them since childhood until it throws their lives away for its own benefit. Enraged by its defeats, the Intelligence made a final attempt to utterly break the Doctor by personally undoing every single victory he had ever won and destroying every friendship he had ever made by infecting every moment of the Doctor's lifetime, forcing him to feel this happening to him as he does so. Despite the great destruction this would cause throughout the universe and even though this would be fatal to the Intelligence as well, [[TakingYouWithMe it was happy to do this purely out of spite at the Doctor foiling its selfish schemes]].
45* [[Characters/DoctorWhoDavros Davros]], who debuted in "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS12E4GenesisOfTheDaleks Genesis of the Daleks]]", was a [[EvilCripple crippled scientist]] on the planet Skaro wherein two races were locked in a civil war. To win, Davros created the [[Characters/DoctorWhoDaleks Daleks]]: powerful, murderous creatures that could feel only hate and rage for every other species and were designed to never be able to feel any positive emotion. To finalize the Daleks, when his superiors were about to cancel his immoral research, Davros engineered their extinction. Davros would return many times, improving his Daleks to wipe out or subjugate all other life with himself at their head and achieved the extermination of countless life forms. When he returned in modern times, Davros unleashed them on Earth, revealing a new objective: to cause a massive chain reaction with a Reality Bomb that would result in [[OmnicidalManiac total destruction]] of all life except him and the Daleks. Nearing his death, he used the Doctor's guilt to manipulate him into coming to Skaro where he tries to edge him on into committing genocide against his creations in a vile attempt to prove them not so different. A man who has admitted he would unleash a virus to end all life solely [[ForTheEvulz because he could]], Davros seeks power that will put him [[GodhoodSeeker above the gods]], and has remained one of the Doctor's most evil and tenacious foes.
46* [[NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist Rassilon]], debuting in "[[Recap/DoctorWho20thASTheFiveDoctors The Five Doctors]]", is the [[FallenHero once-proud leader]] of the [[Characters/DoctorWhoTimeLords Time Lords]]. After becoming twisted, Rassilon [[ItsAllAboutMe sought immortality and power at the expense of all reality and everything that lived]] and even in the past had showed a predilection for "cleansing" lesser species. At one point, Rassilon [[DrivenToMadness drove the Master insane]] to use him as an eventual pawn. Over the course of the Time War between Time Lords and Daleks, Rassilon opted to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime wipe out all of space and time]] so the Time Lords would remain as pure consciousness, yoked to his will because [[KnightTemplar he didn't see any other way to end it]]. Making things worse, he kills unnamed Time Lords for suggesting that they allow the Doctor to wipe out Gallifrey and end the Time War for the good of the rest of the universe and all that are suffering in it, because he doesn't want to die. Rassilion knows this will release a variety of evil and demonic forces that had been locked away after the Time War but doesn't care. With Gallifrey's survival, Rassilon [[Recap/DoctorWhoS35E12HellBent hatches a scheme]] to trap the Doctor in his confession dial, resulting in the death of [[Characters/DoctorWhoClaraOswald Clara Oswald]] and the Doctor trapped for four and a half billion years where he would die and return to life over and over again in a horrific cycle. When the Doctor finally escapes and returns to Gallifrey and refuses to cooperate with him, Rassilon tries to have him executed, despite everyone else seeing him as a war hero, earning his place as one of the Doctor's most diabolical foes.

53* "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS13E3PyramidsOfMars Pyramids of Mars]]": [[SufficientlyAdvancedAlien Sutekh the Destroyer]] is a sadistic monster who desires nothing less than the [[OmnicidalManiac extermination of all that lives]] so that nothing could challenge him. Once the security chief of the Osirian race, Sutekh grew so paranoid he even had his own loyal people slaughtered by his monster followers, climaxing in him destroying his home planet and the majority of his species, which forced the remaining 740 Osirians to band together and [[SealedEvilInACan seal him away]]. Several thousands of years later, when archaeologist Marcus Scarman opened his tomb. Sutekh murdered Scarman and took control of his body in an attempt to free himself. He also had a devoted servant cooked to death as he didn't need him; was responsible for several innocent bystanders being strangled or crushed at the hand of his [[MechaMooks robotic servants]]; and finally personally tortured the Doctor before taking control of him. Upon release, Sutekh planned to use his immense powers to exterminate all that lived, declaring "all life is my enemy", knowing that nothing, not even the Time Lords, could challenge him.
54* "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS15E4TheSunMakers The Sun Makers]]": [[CorruptCorporateExecutive The Collector]] is a [[StarfishAliens Usurian]] representative of the [[MegaCorp Company]], who moved humanity's population from the exhausted Earth to first Mars and then Pluto, setting up a series of artificial suns. The Collector has created a brutal dystopia in which the humans are effectively slaves, where every aspect of their lives, including breathing, are taxed, often creating a vicious cycle where they are forced to work extra shifts to pay their debts, increasing their debts through dependence on stimulant drugs, until they are DrivenToSuicide. Ordinary citizens are forbidden to see the sun, rebellion is kept in check by lacing the atmosphere with a [[SupernaturalFearInducer chemical that keeps everyone in a constant state of fear]], and crimes are punished by constant torture at "[[Room101 correction centers]]". The Collector plans to ultimately abandon the humans when they cease to be profitable, leaving them all to die when the suns run out of fuel. He sentences Leela to execution by boiling alive, gleefully noting "[[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming This is the point where I get a real sense of job satisfaction]]". Ordering mandatory time off so that the workers have to listen to her screams, then orders them to work unpaid overtime to make up for the drop in production. He treats even his elite with contempt, bullying his underling, [[TheQuisling Hade]], and using his personal guard as a HumanShield during a rebellion. To end the rebellion he attempts to gas the city, killing even those still loyal to him.
55* "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E2ThePiratePlanet The Pirate Planet]]": [[ItsAllAboutMe Xanxia]] is a supposedly-dead [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen queen of Zanak]], who was so brutal and cruel that [[TheDreaded she is feared in legend long after her demise]]. To rejuvenate herself, she forced the Captain into transforming the entire planet into a special ship capable of jumping through space and plundering entire planets. Using this she proceed to wipe out ten entire worlds, killing untold billions, harvesting every scrap of mineral and material from them entirely so [[ImmortalityImmorality she could keep her body young, beautiful and immortal]].
56* "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS16E5ThePowerOfKroll The Power of Kroll]]": [[SmugSnake Thawn]] is the head of a methane refinery on a satellite to which the native population have already been relocated by human settlers. Thawn's desire to see the operation expand results in him planning genocide against the native Swampies so he can expand onto their settlement. [[PretextForWar To this end]], he pays a gunrunner to supply them with faulty weapons, so they're not actually a threat but he can use the weapons as an excuse to slaughter them and then claim self-defense. When his plans get disrupted by the arrival of swamp monster [[GiantSquid Kroll]], he laughs in delight as Kroll attacks the Swampies village openly hoping it might wipe them out, a moment that leaves [[HeelRealization his entire crew staring in disgust]]. He then decides to take advantage of the situation by launching a bombardment against Kroll, while also wiping out the Swampies as "collateral damage". Openly expressing his contempt for them, Thawn regularly talks about the Swampies [[FantasticRacism as though they're mere animals]], outright stating that his Swampie servant doesn't count as a person. When one of his crew objects and tries to stop the bombardment, Thawn, without a moment's hesitation, shoots him InTheBack. Despite his overall low standing, by being willing to wipe out an entire race out of irrational hatred and [[{{Greed}} the prospect of commercial gain]], Thrawn managed to sink to a depth of depravity matched by few.

61* [[Characters/DoctorWhoFirstDoctor First Doctor]]: "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS2E3TheRescue The Rescue]]": [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters Koquillion]] is also known as Bennett. To cover up a murder he committed, he murdered the crew of a human explorer ship, before wiping out the [[PerfectPacifistPeople population of the peaceful planet Dido]], unintentionally leaving only two survivors. He then lies to Vicki, the only other survivor of the ship and the daughter of one of the killed crew members, that the natives killed the crew, only keeping Vicki alive to corroborate his story. To maintain the illusion he disguises himself as Koquillion, and plans to convince the authorities to destroy the planet to removing all traces of his crime once they are both rescued.

Keeping dozens of scientists prisoner [[BeneathTheEarth in an underground shelter]] for five years, Salamander convinced them that a nuclear war rages on the surface and so they must create natural disasters to fight back at the evil armies ravaging the world. In fact, the disasters are killing innocent people, and Salamander is using them to [[EngineeredHeroics gain popularity by leading relief efforts and predicting where the disasters will strike]], while also discrediting the helpless officials. Others Salamander has been systematically killing, replacing all of them with people under his control. Caring nothing for his followers, Salamander never hesitates to remove those who outlive their usefulness, discrediting his original partner-in-crime and poisoning one of his puppets when he's unable to kill his superior. Suave, cunning and audacious as he is, at heart Salamander is nothing more than a power-hungry mass murderer, who manipulates innocents into killing innocents, all for his own benefit.
63* [[Characters/DoctorWhoThirdDoctor Third Doctor]]: "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS9E4TheMutants The Mutants]]": [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters The Marshal]], is a petty tyrant who nevertheless stands out through sheer depravity. A ruthless, hot-tempered, trigger-happy [[EvilColonialist colonial overlord]], the Marshal reigns over the planet Solos, whose natives are prematurely mutating. Abusing his position, the Marshal treats the natives with contempt, hunting the mutants for sport, as well as regularly gloating how [[FantasticRacism pathetic, disgusting and diseased they are]]. Upon learning the humans are turning the planet back over to the Solonians, leaving him without his position of power, he arranges the murder of his superior, the only man who knows this, then personally murders his own assassin, [[FrameUp framing the innocent dissident Ky]].

Ruling from the shadows, the Borad imposes a vicious regime of constant surveillance, bans mirrors, and has all dissidents executed or thrown into the Timelash, an unstable time corridor of his own creation.
