[[File:minidestriiicon1_2291.jpg|frame|link=http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
The Eighth Doctor's final ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' companion, an alien {{spoiler|princess who escaped her [[Dystopia|hellhole homeworld]] to see the universe}}. Got hit by an [[Aborted Arc]], courtesy of the TV series's return.
Line 24:
* [[Wild Card]]
[[File:minifrobisher1_7702.jpg|frame|link=http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
A shapeshifter who prefers to take the form of a penguin. Has a daytime job as a private eye. Also appears in the [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audios, where he is voiced by Robert Jezek. Not to be confused with the character from ''[[Torchwood]]: Children of Earth.''
Line 38:
* [[Voluntary Shapeshifting]]
A Cyberman who spontaneously regained the capacity to experience emotion, but not his memories of his previous life. Originally introduced in solo back-up strips in the Eighties, in which he wandered the universe trying to do good despite everybody's terror of him. Later reintroduced during the Eighth Doctor comics, in which he became a full-scale companion and a major player in one of the comics' arcs. (No connection to the [[Doctor Who/Recap/S6/E04 The Krotons|tellurium-themed bad guys]].)
Line 48:
* [[Walking the Earth]]

Line 63:
* [[Screw the Rules, I Have Money]]
First non-white companion, albeit not on television.
Line 75:
* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: So she's aged up four years and left on another planet in the arms of someone she's fallen in love with. Happy ending, right? [[Fridge Logic|But what about her family and friends back in Blackcastle?]]

Also appeared in a [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio, voiced by Jemima Rooper. A young "fan-geekoid" (as Destrii puts it) usually thought of as the first gay female companion, though [[Word of Gay]] (semi-official in the final instance) had already established the Doctor's previous companions Ace, [[Bernice Summerfield]] and Sam Jones as bi.
Line 92:
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: Being turned into a super strong, lightning fast human fish hybrid probably had something to do with it.
[[File:minifeyicon1_1518.jpg|frame|link=http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
A kind of on- and off-again companion to the Eighth Doctor who he had allied with previously. A secret agent for the British Crown in the 1930s and 40s.
Line 105:
* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]] - Unintentionally. [[Crazy Prepared]] baddies called The Threshold had given her an implant without her knowledge, so that she could act as a spy for them.}}
A creation of the Matrix Lords of Gallifrey, those Time Lords whose minds survive in the Matrix, serving as their agent in the wider universe. A sometime ally of the Fifth and Eighth Doctors, who through his adventures with them discovers he's slowly developing free will. Appears in the [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audios, where he's voiced by Mark Donovan.
Line 116:
* [[Teleporters and Transporters]]: Able to travel anywhere in time and space.
[[File:miniabslomdaak1_7878.jpg|frame|link=http://www.redscharlach.co.uk/]]
Abslom Daak was a thuggish Human criminal from the mid-26th century. Eventually he was convicted and given the choice between vaporisation or exile as a [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|Dalek Killer]]. He chose the latter. During this, his only true love was killed by a Dalek survivor that Daak had overlooked, leaving Daak grief-stricken and vowing to exterminate every Dalek in the galaxy. Made his first appearance in a back-up comic strip in 1980. He met the Fourth and Seventh Doctors and also Bernice Summerfield a couple of times (he lived during the same 26th century time period as her).
Line 138:
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His personal chainsword.
The version of the Master who appeared in a lengthy plot arc in the Eighth Doctor Comics. This Master was one of the most coolly manipulative and patient versions seen so far, simultaneously juggling a grand plan to achieve divine power with a pettier plan to morally humiliate the Doctor and turn his favourite species into the kind of culture he's spent his life fighting.
Line 149:
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Not So Different]]: his plan revolves around destroying the Doctor's moral authority by setting up situations where [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|his flaws will damage people he interacts with]].
* [[Path of Inspiration]]: sets one up to corrupt the human race into [[Suicide Attack]]-ing [[Omnicidal Maniac
* [[Race Lift]]: this version of the Master happens to be black in human ethnic terms, although little is made of it.
An adorably cute alien fluffball who is actually a murderously psychotic [[Galactic Conqueror]]. Introduced in the Fourth Doctor comic story "The Star Beast", a parody of cute [[Alien Among Us]] narratives in which he crashed on contemporary Earth while fleeing justice and tried to pull a [[Wounded Gazelle Gambit]]. Made several later appearances as a comedy villain.
