Featured Villain: Sisters Of Plenitude

The Sisters of Plenitude were a sisterhood of humanoid cats who appeared in New Earth. One of the Sisters (Novice Hame) also appeared in Gridlock.

The sisterhood did terrible things like... Help the sick... But at least one group of them got the cures for just about every disease through the means of infecting human clones with every known disease in the world for research reasons. They were later arrested by the NNYPD for this. The Sisters worshiped a goddess called Santori but next to nothing is known about her.

In Gridlock (set thirty years after New Earth), it was revealed that a virus called Bliss had killed the New Earth Senate along with the majority of the planet's population in seven minutes flat. Fortunately, Novice Hame (who had changed her ways) was saved by the Face of Boe's smoke. She succeeded in helping the Face of Boe seal off the undercity in order to save those who were on the motorway and the streets.

Featured Villain: Cybermen

The Cybermen are some of Doctor Who's most iconic villains. They first appeared in the First Doctor's final story - The Tenth Planet and they have since appeared in The Moonbase, The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Wheel in Space, The Invasion, Revenge of the Cybermen, Earthshock, The Five Doctors, Attack of the Cybermen, Silver Nemesis, Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel, Army of Ghosts, Doomsday, The Next Doctor, The Pandorica Opens, A Good Man Goes to War, Closing Time, Nightmare in Silver, the Torchwood episode Cyberwoman and multiple appearances in books, audios, etc. Basically, they've appeared a lot and are fan-favourite villains.

They are humanoids and before they were upgraded, they were actual humans (or atleast very similar to humans). There have been two types of Cybermen - Mondasian Cybermen which are upgraded humans (or humanoids) that originated on the planet Mondas and Cybus Cybermen made by John Lumic on a parallel Earth (although there may be a third type as we don't know which type the Cybermen that appeared in Series 6 and 7 were).

They sometimes use rodent-like cyborgs called Cybermats as guards, plague carriers or energy thieves. These have appeared in The Tomb of the Cybermen, The Wheel in Space, Revenge of the Cybermen and Closing Time. Something called a Cybermite which is basically an upgraded Cybermat appeared in Nightmare in Silver.

They have have no emotions and they view them as a weakness. They turn humans into Cybermen with a process called Cyber conversion (referred to simply as "upgrading" by the Cybus Cybermen.)

The Cult of Skaro was a group of Daleks that made their first appearance in Army of Ghosts and Doomsday. They later appeared in Daleks in Manhattan and Evolution of the Daleks and Dalek Caan later appeared in The Stolen Earth and Journey's End.

The Cult of Skaro consisted of four Daleks - Dalek Caan, Dalek Sec, Dalek Jast and Dalek Thay. The Cult was, primarily, created to further the process of Dalek evolution. It was led by Dalek Sec and they did not even answer to the Dalek Emperor.

In Daleks in Manhattan, Dalek Sec became the only known Dalek to become a human/Dalek hybrid, although this caused the other Daleks in the Cult to betray him.

They were the only four known Daleks to have their own names and instead of fighting in the Time War, they escaped into the Void via a piece of Time Lord technology called the Genesis Ark.

Featured Scene:

Featured Villain: Adipose

The Adipose made their one and only non-cameo appearance in the Series 4 episode Partners in Crime.

Featured Villain: Jagrafess

The Mighty Jagrafess of the Holy Hadrojassic Maxarodenfoe (try saying that!) has, as of August 2013, only appeared once in Doctor Who - in the Ninth Doctor episode The Long Game.

The computer chips installed in the brains of almost every human on board Satellite 5 let the Jagrafess and the Editor see everyone's thoughts, which meant the humans were slaves and they didn't even know.

From the years 199909 to 200000, it controlled Satellite 5 until it was destroyed by Cathica (one of the humans living on the satellite.) It was the overseer of the other villain in The Long Game - the Editor, played by Simon Pegg.

Featured Villain: Kandyman

The Kandyman is a monster that has only had one televised appearance in Doctor Who: in the Seventh Doctor story The Happiness Patrol.

It's a strange monster, to say the least and it's one of those things that you either love or you hate.

On April Fools Day in 2010, the BBC announced that the Kandyman would be returning in the Series 5 finale, although this was of course, a joke.
