10 He can punch through big diamond walls!Īfter his first tearful good-bye to Rose at the end of modern Doctor Who season two, “The Parting of Ways,” the Tenth Doctor met another underrated companion by the name of Martha Jones on the moon in the episode “Smith and Jones”. So, all The Doctor’s the coats and accessories must just be for the sake of snazzy fashion, it seems. That comes in handy against monsters like the Ice Warriors, for sure. The Tenth doctor even said in “42” that Time Lords can survive, at least for a short time, in absolute zero. In “Seeds of Doom” and “Planet of the Ood,” The Doctor was able to tolerate the cold much better than his human companions. Even when he accessorizes in something like the Fourth Doctor’s iconic (and insanely long) scarf or Eleven’s occasional green pea coat, this guy can actually handle freezing temperatures no problem!

Whether he’s outfitted in a cool outwear such as The Ninth Doctor and The War Doctor’s tough guy leather, Ten’s crop duster, or even Three’s fancy cloak and gloves combo, though, it’s pretty much unnecessary from the perspective of keeping warm for a Time Lord. In all his incarnations so far, The Doctor usually sports outerwear that’d be good for cold temperatures, at least for a frail human. Such is the operatic tragedy of this fun time kid’s show! 11 The Doctor is capable of surviving in freezing temperatures One suspects he’d trade all that to be in his doppelgänger's position, though. He ends up being left with Rose Tyler in a parallel world, while the “real” Doctor is left to more adventures and regenerations. It gets wackier when that hand then grows…another Tenth Doctor body! This version turns out to be a little more human, as he was near underrated companion Donna Noble at the time. Just when it seems like he’s going to regenerate into The Eleventh Doctor in the next episode, “Journey’s End,” he instead uses the time energy from his severed hand to heal himself!

In “The Stolen Earth,” the Doctor is seemingly mortally wounded by a Dalek blast. Captain Jack Harkness, almost always more fun on his actual Doctor Who episodes than on his own spin-off show, Torchwood, found that hand and used it as a sort of Doctor tracker. Somewhat surprisingly, that hand wasn’t forgotten. He even flashes a smile as it grows back! 12 He can also grow a body out of a severed limb such as, say, a hand Luckily for him, it’s conveniently revealed that limbs can grow back if lost early enough in the regeneration process. When Ten wakes up to confront the Sycorax, decked in his pajamas in great Arthur Dent-style, he ends up losing a hand in a sword fight! The latter are threatening to make every human with A-positive blood type commit suicide unless they are given half the human population as slaves (how is this a “kid-friendly” show again, with such constant nightmare images?). When The Ninth Doctor gave way to The Tenth way back at the end of the 2005 season, it was a bumpy ride (And not just because, no matter how great Tennant was as The Doctor - and he truly was - most viewers could’ve used at least one more season of Eccleston, right?) Anyway, Ten sleeps through most of his first full-length adventure, “The Christmas Invasion,” as Earth is invaded by killer Santa Clause, deadly spinning Christmas Trees, and an alien race called the Sycorax. 14 The Doctor is psychic.kind of.sometimes Whether or not his animal language knowledge is limited to some creatures, not all, remains to be seen. While the baby talk was mostly fun for Eleven, Twelve translated a much darker, sadder bit of baby talk with a scared little one in “The Girl Who Died.” There, where others hear crying, he knows exactly the fear and anguish the baby is expressing and can put them into heartbreaking words.

Eleven talked with one in the second Corden adventure “Closing Time.” The most delightful revelation in that chat is that, while his parents named him Alfie, the baby refers to himself as “ Stormageddon, Dark Lord of All.” They have a more emotional chat at the end. Speaking of speaking to animals, The Doctor can also speak baby. The Eleventh Doctor conversed with a male horse who told him his name was Susan in the Western episode “A Town Called Mercy.” Animal-chatty Eleven also memorably spoke to the cat of a kind gentleman named Craig (played by a pre- Late Late Show James Corden)’s cat in “The Lodger.” While Nine previously chatted with an alley cat in “The Empty Child,” it didn’t seem to be any special language or psychic-style conversation, instead just a guy petting a kitty. The Doctor can speak to some animals in their OWN animal languages, whatever that means. It’s not that The Doctor can speak to animals, like a horse whisperer or a lonely writer locked away in a one bedroom apartment with only two cats to keep him company day in and day out.
