10 Most Insanely Powerful Doctor Who Villains

For a race of creepy garden ornaments, the Weeping Angels are incredibly powerful. They're insanely fast – look at how the Statue of Liberty was able to cross from Liberty Island to Manhattan in the blink of an eye. And then there's their ability to transport their victims in time (and often space) with just a simple tap on the shoulder.

Hang on, the Silence, the Weeping Angels, what is it with Steven Moffat and scarily powerful fingers?

The Angels also have the ability to quantum lock themselves, which is why they appear as stone statues. It's a near-perfect defence mechanism, not least because they cannot be killed while in this state. Although as far as we can tell, nobody's tried smashing one of them with a sledgehammer quite yet.

And if that weren't enough, they also had the power to make anything that holds their image – be it a sketch, video footage, or a literal eyeball – into an incubator for a living breathing Weeping Angel.

They're relentless and nigh-unstoppable, and their time displacement ability more than makes up for their lack of firepower. But if there's one thing that the Weeping Angels have over the Daleks and the Cybermen, it's the fact that they literally turned the Doctor into one of them.

Talk about a mic drop.
