Doctor Who: EVERY NuWho Villain And Monster Ranked Worst To Best
53. Sycorax
Appear in: The Christmas Invasion.
The Sycorax smash it spectacularly by using the blockbuster alien invasion blueprint of Independence Day... on Christmas Day!
They start by transmitting a menacing message that states the world is already conquered, even without a shot being fired; give the human cattle the necessary heebie-jeebies by taking forcible control of one-third of the population and make them stand at the precipice of any tall building; enter the Earth's atmosphere with a bang and, most importantly, with a mahoosive spaceship that casts ominous shadows over famous landmarks that leaves people looking up suitably agog; and looked like one ugly motherf***er under their helmets.
Before their ship was annihilated by Torchwood, the Sycorax leader did mention that he could "summon the armada and take this world by force" - so maybe they managed to send a distress signal just beforehand and if so, what better way for a resurgence? But one that doesn't resemble the (insert any negative adjective here) Independence Day sequel.
