Doctor Who: 10 Nu-Who Characters Who Were Just Totally Unlucky
8. Mickey Smith
It might not, at first, seem like Mickey Smith is all that unlucky time travelling, freelance alien hunter married to Martha Jones - seems like a dream for most people. He truth, however, is much unluckier. Imagine being overshadowed in almost every moment of your life. Lets make it a little bit worse. Imagine the first person you ever loved, loving someone else more than they could have ever imagined loving you. That was Mickey Smiths relationship with Rose Tyler in a nutshell. Despite this fact, he consistently came back to help her, to save her, to try and be the hero. Even still, there was always someone who did a little more, was more of a hero, was seen to have done something bigger and better. The Doctor, Pete Tyler, The Meta-Crisis Doctor. There was always someone who Rose needed more, even in a parallel universe. So Mickey left Rose behind and returned to his own Universe he found his love, he found his way. He found Martha Jones and a future where he could be the hero. But would he ever truly be? Martha Jones, a former high ranking member of Unit and long term companion of the Doctor. If the two are freelance, is it really Mickey Smith that theyre trying to hire? Or is it Martha Jones, his wife. Continuing to be overshadowed, even after marriage.
