10 Best Doctor Who Spinoff Villains
4. Captain John Hart – Torchwood
Like Captain Jack, Captain John is a former time agent who worked alongside Jack, developing a somewhat love/hate relationship in the process, then left the agency and went rogue. Unlike Jack, John relishes killing anyone and everyone who gets in his way of getting in the way of his one true love: money.
Making his debut in the first episode of Torchwood’s second season. He used the Torchwood team to recover segments of a key to unlock a diamond, nearly killing two of the group in the process, leaving after his plan blew up in his face (literally). Returning in the season finale he was forced to carry out Gray’s plan to destroy Cardiff. He did however attempt to make amends by helping Gwen and Ianto find Jack and save the city. Leaving them afterwards to explore more of twenty-first century Earth.
Actor James Masters wildly entertaining portrayal of this antiheroic friend/enemy/former lover to Captain Jack has made him insanely popular with fans. Going on record of saying that he’s willing to return should the series be revived.
