Line 796:
== Villains and Monsters ==
=== Mr Crane ===
* "The Age of Steel"—it almost seems wasted on someone so evil, but when he rips out his EarBuds ("Oh, no you ''don't!''") as Lumic tries to seize control, makes his way into his boss' central chamber, and mortally injures Lumic before the Cybermen restrain and "delete" him... you've got to admit that that was impressive.
=== Cybermen ===
* It is a bit modulated by the silly voices, but Cyberman Krang's response to Polly when she challenges him about not caring that people are going to die in "The Tenth Planet":
{{quote|'''Krang''': Care? No, why should I care?
Line 815:
<br />Watch the whole battle [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJO7eD-2efg here]
=== Cybermen + Daleks = Awesome ===
* "Doomsday" may have had more than a few Dalek Moments of Awesome, but the Cybermen also get to verbally own the Daleks in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBSOhODoch0 this] exchange of insults (around 2:13):
{{quote|'''Cyberman''': Our species are similar, though your design is inelegant.
'''Dalek Thay''': Daleks have no concept of elegance!
'''Cyberman''': This is obvious.
** The Daleks get vengeance (at 2:53 in the above video):
{{quote|'''Cyber Leader''': Daleks, be warned. You have declared war upon the Cybermen.
'''Dalek Sec''': This is not ''war''. [[This Is Pest Control|This is]] ''[[This Is Pest Control|pest control!]]''
'''Cyber Leader''': We have five million Cybermen. How many are you?
'''Dalek Sec''': Four.
'''Cyber Leader''': You would destroy the Cybermen with four Daleks?
'''Dalek Sec''': We would destroy the Cybermen with ''one'' Dalek! You are superior in only one respect.
'''Cyber Leader''': What is that?
'''Dalek Sec''': You are ''better'' at ''dying''.
*** Just a minute later, Rose points out to the Daleks why the Doctor owns them both.
{{quote|'''Rose''': Five million cybermen? Easy. One Doctor? ''Now'' you're scared.}}
** The ending of the episode before, "Army Of Ghosts", also counts. Right when the Cybermen had emerged, and creating a cliffhanger ending of how the Doctor would defeat them, the Sphere opens and out come the Daleks.
=== Daleks ===
* The series itself became awesome when the Daleks made their first appearance.
** For the record, that was the second story.
Line 872:
* The ''accurately-named'' "Victory of the Daleks". They manage to manipulate the Doctor, of all people, into restoring his greatest enemy, and then manage to pull off a [[Sadistic Choice]] on the guy who is ''known'' for [[Taking a Third Option]].
=== Davros ===
* You wouldn't think that a man in a wheelchair with one working arm could have a Moment of Awesome. Then Davros comes along with his legendary [https://web.archive.org/web/20110601153438/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7026801162637347552 "To hold in my hand..." speech from "Genesis of the Daleks".]
{{quote|'''The Doctor''': Davros, if you had created a virus in your laboratory, something contagious and infectious that killed on contact, a virus that would destroy all other forms of life; would you allow its use?
Line 900:
* One of the audio dramas has [https://web.archive.org/web/20110601153438/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=7026801162637347552 this awesome speech] (the images were added but the audio is genuine). Davros may be an [[Omnicidal Maniac]] of the highest order, but you've got to admire his [[Determinator]] qualities.
=== The Family of Blood ===
* Baines/Son Of Mine with his grand [[Hannibal Lecture]] against the headmaster.
{{quote|What do you know of history sir? What do you know of next year? 1914 sir! Because the Family has traveled far and wide looking for Mr. Smith and, oh, the things we have seen. War is coming. In foreign fields, war of the whole, wide world, with all your boys falling down in the mud. ''Do you think they will thank the man who taught them it was glorious?''}}
Line 909:
* Lucy Cartwright/Daughter of Mine casually entering the barricaded schoolyard, disintegating the headmaster, and ''daring'' the boy soldiers to shoot her.
=== Luke Rattigan ===
* "The Poison Sky": {{spoiler|Who could forget Rattigan's final "Sontar-HA!"?}}
** Especially since it took something that had been see by some as [[Narm]] up until that point and actually made it ''work''.
=== Madame Kavorian ===
* Fooling the Doctor twice with the exact same trick, and calling him up to taunt him about it. We have a new [[Magnificent Bastard]] on our hands.
=== The Master ===
* "Frontier in Space", and the wonderful observation that "rocket fire at long range - somehow it lacks that ''personal'' touch."
* In "Logopolis", he held the ''entire universe'' for ransom.
Line 967:
{{quote|What makes you think I want your forgiveness?}}
=== Mercy Hartigan ===
* The scene at the funeral where the Cybermen are killing ''everyone'', and Miss Hartigan is [[Dissonant Serenity|just standing there and watching serenely]]. It also helps that it's ''amazingly'' shot, and the Cybermen looming out at their victims through the [[Snow Means Death|falling snow]].
* Miss Hartigan gets one back on the Cybermen {{spoiler|when it turns her mind is too strong to be cyberised and she promptly takes over the entire Cyberman operation with her willpower.}}
=== The Narrator from ''The End of Time'' ===
* "The End of Time", Part One. That. Last. Scene.
{{quote|"''For victory!'' ''FOR GALLIFREY!'' '''''FOR THE END! OF TIME! ITSELF!'''''"}}
* In Part Two, even {{spoiler|Rassilon ''himself''}} gets a moment: the Master taunts him, calling him ancient and decrepit, gloating that he will
=== Noah ===
* Noah fighting the Wirrn influence long enough to blow them all up, saving the whole of mankind.
=== The Raston Warrior Robot ===
* The robot picking off the Cybermen in ''The Five Doctors'' one by one.
=== Scaroth/Scarlioni ===
{{quote|'''Countess Scarlioni:''' I don't think he [the Doctor] [[Obfuscating Stupidity|is as stupid as he seems.]]<br />
'''Scarlioni:''' My dear, ''[[Genre Savvy|nobody]]'' [[Genre Savvy|could be as stupid as he seems.]] }}
=== Sutekh ===
* Sutekh containing a gun blast to destroy one of his rockets with his ''mind!''
=== Yvonne Hartmann ===
* Yvonne Hartman's MOA in "Doomsday": {{spoiler|1=Even after being "upgraded" to Cyberman, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4v-cETfhO5g she still defends Queen and Country].}}
{{quote|Yvonne: {{spoiler|{{small-caps| You will not pass.}}}}
