The Master of the land of fiction wins.



I think had they explored more about the origins of the machine that controlled him, then The Mind Robber would have been even more fascinating.



Im not sure if it was made clear in the story or not - but who actually built the machine in the first place?

It's not, although Steve Lyons does in Conumdrum.

I don't think the Marshie's ability to evolve quickly will be much chop!



Maurice Caven vs Mavic Chen.

Mavic Chen wins this time out.



From what I've read/seen, the villlain seemed to be one of the good early ones.

Caven's a Space Pirate! 'Nuff said!





Meddling Monk vs Meglos.

I'd have to go with Meglos.



Even though the story he appeared in wasn't too good, at least he had more menace than the Meddling Monk.



I think the Meddling Monk was a missed opportunity - he could have been a very early version of the Master - a sinister and evil Time Lord.

He's returned to with an entire arc in the Virgin books.



Mehendri Solon vs Mestor.

Mehendri Solon wins.  Brain of Morbeus was a great story, with well fleshed out villains.



The less said about anything from Twin Dilemma the better!!

The big slugs didn't do it for me, either!



Monarch vs Monoids.

I never found Monarch to be threatening at all.  A very lacklusture villain for a very average story.



So I'll give this one to the Monoids.

The Monoids also sound like a better idea then their realisation!



Morbius vs Morgaine and Mordred.

Morbius wins - same reasons as I gave previously.



I never found any of the villains to be up to scratch during the McCoy era really.



The only villains I found that worked during his era were the clowns in Greatest Show In The Galaxy, very sinister.

He amy look funny, but he's not the result of incest as far as we know!



Morgus vs Movellans.

Morgus for sure.



The Movellans weren't the least bit scary at all, pretty lame in my opinion.

...unless you were in a dance off movie competing against them--Resurrection benefited from both their namecheck and absence!



Nero vs Nimon.

The Nimons werent scary at all - but they were perfect villains for the pantomime that was Horns of Nimon!



I'll go with Nero, as he posed more of  a genuine threat.

One seemed to have wandered in from a production of Jack and the Beanstalk (moo.), and the other was looking for a Carry On film.



Nucleus vs Ogrons.

Ogrons for sure.  Even though they were mostly mindless heavies, even today they still look very menacing - very memorable.

The Nucleus could give you a nasty cse of Brain Control...but in the Ogrons' case...



Omega vs Oracle.

The Omega of The Three Doctors was great, a very formidable foe.



Ive always liked The Three Doctors in that they chose to use a new villain, instead of an old one, for an anniversary story.



It has to be said that Omega's re-appearance in Arc of Infinity was a mistake - he should have just stayed in the one story.

His reappearence in the BBC Books is often cited as another mistake--I like it though!



Pangrol vs Parasite.
