Doctor Who: 10 Awesome Villains To Revive For Peter Capaldi's Doctor

2. Nobody No-One

The premise behind Nobody No-One is genius in and of itself. No-One is a Word Lord, a mirror of a Time Lord but taken from a place 45 billion dimensions to the left of the Doctor€™s own. His power is taken from words, rhymes and literature, and made for an excellent premise. Apparently, the guy€™s power was just endless, as long as you could turn it into words. By saying things like €˜Nobody could turn off the sun,€™ No-One could do exactly that, meaning the whole thing would take on a twist not unlike when the Tenth Doctor met Shakespeare or the whole insanely bonkers Dr. Moon premise in Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead. However, it€™s the sort of insanity a showrunner like Moffat would do well with, full of novel twists and turns. Almost fittingly, he€™s only ever existed in audio form, fighting the Seventh Doctor in The Word Lord and A Death In The Family. This perhaps gives him an advantage over any other villain on this list entirely because powers aside, he€™s almost a complete blank slate. Remembering that the show does well when it attempts to put a spin on a Timelord €“ see Amy€™s Choice€™s Dream Lord for a reference €“ seeing something as unique as this would be an incredible watch with any Doctor, never mind Capaldi.
