10 Smartest Villain Plans In Doctor Who

The Ravagers, otherwise known as Swarm and Azure, were the overarching antagonists of Series 13 – and for a while, we were constantly in the dark about their true motives. But if you stand back and look at it, their plan, though technically complex, is actually pretty simple.

Swarm and Azure are the ultimate scavengers. Their initial aim is revenge against the Doctor and Division for imprisoning them all those years ago. And how do they go about doing this? By using Division's most powerful weapons against it.

After building a psycho-temporal bridge capable of reaching Division's base, the pair are able to complete the first part of their plan, doing away with head honcho Tecteun. But their ultimate goal is to do away with all physical things in the universe. How? By hijacking the Flux to create endless destruction, and then using Time to replay that destruction in an endless loop.

If the Doctor hadn't managed to, in turn, hijack the Flux against them, the Ravagers would've succeeded, with devastating results for the entire universe.
