Doctor Who: EVERY NuWho Villain And Monster Ranked Worst To Best

155. Captain Hardaker

Doctor Who villains
BBC Studios

Appears in: Voyage of the Damned.

The dying captain of the Titanic space liner was promised lots of money for his family by Max Capricorn, in exchange for sabotaging the voyage above Earth. Captain Hardaker did this by deactivating the ship's shields and magnetising the hull to attract three asteroids, resulting in devastating death and damage.

He wasn't all bad - he showed genuine guilt after shooting Midshipman Alonso Frame for trying to re-raise the shields, and gave his crew a break from duties to allow them a tot of rum, albeit so he could carry out his pernicious plan.
