Doctor Who: 10 Things You Didn't Know About The Pantheon Of The Gods
7. They're Not The ONLY Gods In The Doctor Who Universe
The Pantheon of the Gods has co-opted previous villainous deities like the Toymaker, the Trickster, the Mara, and Sutekh. However, there are other godlike beings in the Doctor Who universe whose relationship with the Pantheon is unknown.
There's the Black and White Guardians who oversee order and chaos in the universe, and potentially even trump the Pantheon in the hierarchy of powerful Doctor Who entities. Fenric, an evil being from the dawn of time, could also place higher in that hierarchy, on seniority alone.
And then there are the Eternals, the species of godlike beings we encountered in Enlightenment and Can You Hear Me. The Eternals have immense powers, and use ephemeral beings like humans as pawns in their grand, universe-spanning games.
There's also the Gods of Ragnarok, the godly trio of X Factor judges who used mortals for their own entertainment in The Greatest Show in the Galaxy. To date, they haven't been name-checked as members of the Pantheon of the Gods... or have they?
In The Legend of Ruby Sunday, Harriet Arbinger referred to the "three-fold deity of malice and mischief and misery." If that doesn't sound like a trio of talent show judges, then what does?
