The Master's different faces

The transformation of the Master over time

The Doctor's fellow Time Lord rival, the Master has experienced several different faces of his own as he battles the Doctor over "Doctor Who" history.

The debut of the Master (Roger Delgado) begins in the serial "Terror of the Autons" in 1971.

The Master (Peter Pratt) returns in a severely decayed state in "The Deadly Assassin" in 1976. Though it appears to be the Master's final moments, he has many more appearances in "Doctor Who."

The Master reappears as Anthony Ainley in "The Five Doctors" in 1983. As the 20th anniversary of "Doctor Who" five Doctors fight one Master.

The Master (Eric Roberts) in the 1996 Doctor Who TV movie. Though fans consider the film not a part of the series, the Master truly looks the part of an Gallifreyan rival.

Here, a professor revealed himself to be the Master (Derek Jacobi) after forgetting who he was for some time in the episode "Utopia" in 2007.

The Master (John Simm) regenerates into this face in "Utopia" and is infamous for "The End of Time" episodes.


BBC/"Deep Breath"








The Master becomes Missy (Michelle Gomez) in the episode "Deep Breath" in 2014.


The Master and his future regeneration, Missy, team up in "the Doctor Falls" to raise an army of Cybermen and, of course, defeat the 12th Doctor (Peter Capaldi).

Now that the first female Doctor is a certain face next season, let's look forward to seeing the face of Missy come back soon, or possibly even a new regeneration of the Master.
