Doctor Who: 10 Worst Things The Tenth Doctor Has Ever Done

The Family of Blood two-parter sees the Tenth Doctor hide away, in human form, from the titular family who we see in the first part of story are hunting him and Martha.

After restoring himself with the Chameleon Arch, the Doctor defeats the Family of Blood and decides how to make them pay for what they've done. The punishment the Tenth Doctor hands out are wrapping the Father in unbreakable chains, Mother is thrown into a black hole, Sister is placed within mirror reflections, and Son is suspended in time as a scarecrow.

Son of Mine says the reason the Doctor ran from them after facing such bigger foes was that he was being kind. He was going to allow them to die peacefully. But after they sought immortality and the death they caused, he gave them these ultimate punishments. Truly unleashing the wrath of the Tenth Doctor.

The moment can be seen here:

But really, can this be justified? The Doctor has always stood as the hero, and that he is better than those he fights, but in this case, is he?

All in all, this is classed as a 'kindness'. Not really. More cruelty.
