The Doctor's Most Well-Known Villains

Over the past 50 years of Doctor Who, The Doctor has faced many villains. Because there are so many, I will just highlight a few of the main villains. He has come face to face with foes ranging from robot aliens, to animated mannequins.The most memorable of his villains are as followed:

(The following names are links to pictures)
       Daleks- The Daleks have been the enemies of the Timelords since day one. They were involved in the "Time War", where The Doctor was forced to kill all of the other Timelords and Daleks. Unfortunately, some Daleks have survived and continue to wreak havoc in the universe.
       The Master- He is a Timelord that went insane from the sight of the time vortex as a child. He was made human and lost his memory, but when his fog watch (which contained the essence of a Time Lord) was opened, he regained his powers and memories and regenerated into a younger person. In an effort to take over the world, he became Prime Minister of England and captured The Doctor, causing him to age. The Doctor, with the help of his companions, turned back time and all of this was erased.
       Cybermen- these are cyborgs from Earth's twin planet, Mondas. They are robots with the brains of humans that seek to destroy the human race.
       Weeping Angels- these are gargoyle aliens in the shape of angels. They appear to be stone, and move only when you look away, or blink. If they touch you while you are not looking, they send you back in time enough so that you die of old age the day they touched you.
       The Silence- this is a religious organization focused on the destruction of The Doctor. They believe he has wronged people more than helped, and they aim to kill him. In Season 6 of the new Doctor Who, they kidnap the baby of one of The Doctor's companions and turn her into a weapon against him. One thing about The Silence is that once you look away from them, you forget their existence.
       Great Intelligence- as of now, we have seen two episodes involving the Great Intelligence, but they are an agency that caused "monsters in the wifi" and created animated snowmen that tried to kill people.
