5 Classic Doctor Who Villains That Still Need To Make Their NuWho Debut

3. Sutekh The Destroyer

Like the Kraals, this sci-fi take on an Egyptian god was another creation of the Hinchcliffe gothic era.

Only featured once in the 1975 classic serial 'Pyramids of Mars', Sutekh was an Osiran alien able to do what few other Doctor Who monsters have ever done: torture and kill without even moving from his chair (and still be scary). A being of immense power, he was able to plague Tom Baker's incarnation through the use of hypnosis, reanimated corpses and robotic mummies (that were very good at strangling).

It’s probably fair to say some of the aliens during Jodie Whittaker’s time in the Tardis haven’t quite had the fear factor many fans enjoy, and an appearance by this enemy would really raise the stakes considerably.
