10 Doctor Who Villains Who Ultimately Turned Good
1. Dalek Sec
While the story is commonly regarded as one of the weaker Dalek outings in modern Who, Series 3's Daleks in Manhattan/Evolution of the Daleks did at least try something different with the show's most iconic and overused villains.
Deciding that the Daleks must evolve in order to survive, Dalek Sec merges with a normal human, and in the first episode's cliffhanger, the resulting human-Dalek hybrid emerges from its shell, with its exposed brain and fleshy tendrils on full display.
The human DNA gave Dalek Sec something that the Daleks don't usually experience: a wide range of emotions. Sec was no longer an angry Dalek yelling "Exterminate!" at the world - he was rational, intelligent, and understanding. He was good.
From here, Sec asked the Doctor to help him create more human-Dalek hybrids, intending to establish a new race of Daleks that would certainly be a lot more peaceful than the usual bunch. However, the other Daleks turned on Sec and killed him, not wishing to contaminate their species with human DNA. Daleks gonna Dalek.
