Doctor Who: 30 NuWho Characters Who Would've Made Fantastic Full-Time Companions

30. Frank

Appeared in: Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks.

There was always something about Frank; the Daleks identified him as having "superior intelligence", plus he volunteered to go down to the sewers of New York City for a measly dollar a day.

Frank had some intrepid blood in him when he left Tennessee and joined Captain Panaka in Hooverville. He struck up an immediate friendship with Martha, and was thoughtful of those lost in the sewers. He showed bravery in holding off the pig slaves so the others could escape. And just to complete off his all-round good guy persona, he managed to persuade the Hooverville residents to give a pig-slave-Dalek-mutant-hybrid a home.

Eventually, in a reality known as the Marvel Universe, one of Frank's descendants becomes a superhero called Spider-Man.
