Sutekh revealed the identity of several other gods when he riposte , including some who the Doctor had drag with previously , such as the Mara .

Most significantly , both behemoth were imprisoned to stop them from make for mayhem in the universe and assay to force their way to exemption . The Doctor had to use his wits to prevent the monolithic topsy-turvyness and devastation that would add up with these creatures deliver the goods in escaping their bonds and had to risk his companions ' deaths to do so .

The First Time Lord Pursued Immortality And May Not Ever Have Died
Rassilon is considered the first Time Lord , so if he were to be retconned into being a Pantheon god , it would hint the Time Lord airstream was concern to the Pantheon .

In " The Five Doctors , " it is revealed that Rassilon made genetic changes to Gallifreyan DNA to allow TIme Lords to regenerate , and it was go out ambiguous whether he had ever died .
Rassilon only fits withDoctor Who’sTimeless Child theoryif he and Tecteun , the scientist who discovered the Timeless Child , are one and the same . disregardless of this previous retcon , it is both logical and possible to rewrite Rassilon as being a phallus of the Pantheon . Rassilon was already shown to have survived the Time War despite other Time Lords dying and to be capable of activity such as planting twin heartbeats in the Master ’s cognizance ; thus , it is not a large stretch to explain he did these thing as a Pantheon god .

He can also utilize the gimmick to enter Turlough ’s world , such as when he physically attacks him because he is not carrying out his mission .
The White Guardian disappear last time the Black Guardian did , saying one could not exist without the other . However , it ’s likely that both Guardians still subsist in some form and were merely cast out from the Doctor ’s presenceat the end of " Enlightenment . " Thus , the two could be ace - gods who are more powerful than the rest of the Pantheon . The White Guardian ’s inclusion is interesting because other Pantheon gods have all been evil . However , there is no canyon linguistic rule that they must be , and the White Guardian could be work with other non - evil gods to protect the universe of discourse .
3The Gods of Ragnarok
These Ancient Beings Could Easily Be Pantheon Gods
The Doctor first encountered the graven image of Ragnarok during " The Greatest Show In the Galaxy . " During this adventure , the three god were attempting to utilize man for their own amusement , nobble the great unwashed and demanding they perform more and more freakish tricks .

The gods of Ragnarok are already known to be deities , so it is not difficult to imagine that they are phallus of the Pantheon . The Seventh Doctor once stated that he had fought these three gods all through time , which also sound like a description of the Pantheon . It ’s also potential that Rassilon name them , as non - canon sources say so , and if this became an prescribed part of the canon it would beef up the possibility that Rassilon is also one of the Pantheon gods .

Unlike other non - corporealDoctor Whomonsters , the Nestene Consciousness does not possess people . or else , it makes charge plate add up to life and is molecularly standardized to the material . The Doctor suggests that it could be considered the brain or aflutter organization of the Autons , but this could well be retconned to make it one of the gods of the Pantheon .
Like other god , the Nestene Consciousness is made of Department of Energy , although when first insert it had a physical form . It has the power to make a body for itself , and like the Rutans , each item-by-item Nestene is part of a hive head that work as one unit . Its immortality and power make it a campaigner for comprehension in the Pantheon , though it likely would be a low-pitched - level god than some others , as it does not have the ability to own keep organisms .

Their Ability to Mess With Timelines Makes Them Strong Candidates for the Pantheon
The Weeping Angels were introduced in one of the bestDoctor - lite episodes ofDoctor Who . These monstrosity mask themselves as creepy - look statues and ca n’t move as long as someone is looking directly at them . As shortly as the victim flash or work away , the Weeping Angels can attack them and usually send them back in time so that they have to live the relief of their lives in the past tense , separate from the mass who screw them .
The Weeping Angels could easily be part of the Pantheon . Doctor Whohasn’t explain their origins or where they infer their power from , but they are clearly immortal and have the ability to eject people from their timeline and lock in them in the past times .
