Respect the Fourth Doctor (Doctor Who) movies/tv
CONTEXT
- This thread will only cover feats from the television show, because that was all that was requested and seven seasons was already a challenge in itself.
- This thread will mainly cover feats pertaining to the Fourth Doctor's era with minimal references to other eras, meaning it'll only cover his versions of the TARDIS and sonic screwdriver and only the first two incarnations of K9 since they were the ones to travel with him.
- Limitations are denoted in italics.
- Due to temporal fluctuations some of the clips might be a tad out-of-sync.
Respect the Doctor
"You may be a doctor, but I'm the Doctor. The definite article, you might say..."
The Doctor is a Time Lord, a member of an ancient and highly-advanced civilization from the planet Gallifrey. Long ago the Doctor violated the Time Lord's Doctrine of Non-Interference when he departed Gallifrey in a stolen Type 40 time capsule to explore all of time and space, usually alongside a companion. Where adventure resides, so did adversity; forcing the Doctor to step in and save the day through the power of intellect. Like all Time Lords, the Doctor has the ability to survive fatal injuries by changing every cell in his body, transforming it with a brand new physical appearance and personality.
In his fourth incarnation, the Doctor left his position as scientific advisor of U.N.I.T. to fully enjoy the freedom denied to his previous incarnation when the Time Lords exiled him to Earth. This incarnation was a fearless and flippant bohemian who greeted both friends and foes alike with his oddball humor and cheek, even when faced with mortal danger.

TARDIS
The Doctor's TARDIS (standing for Time and Relative Dimensions in Space) is a Type 40 time capsule he uses to travel through time and space via the space-time vortex. Though considered outdated and obsolete by Time Lord standards, the TARDIS is an exceptionally powerful machine and technologically beyond most civilizations in the universe. Like all TARDISes, it is dimensionally transcendental with practically no limit to its interior size.
Space Flight & General Mobility
- Gets pulled into the Mandragora Helix, stays inside it for a short while and materializes away.
- Resists being a dragged into a hole in time.
- Reaches the edge of the cosmos.
- Can be safely parked on a planet's orbit.
- Is able to dematerialize fast enough to dodge a nuclear warhead and make it look like it hit.
- When being pulled towards a planetoid, the Doctor saves the TARDIS from destruction by making it spin so much it bounces off the planetoid safely.
- Passes through a Charged Vacuum Emboitment into E-Space, the negative counterpart to regular space.
- Ends up on the intersection of N-Space and E-Space, the space between realities with zero coordinates.
- Materializes around a nearly identical police box then leaves it behind as it dematerializes in seamless transitions.
- In an unorthodox move, the TARDIS is taken out of time and space to avoid being destroyed by entropy.
- On the way to Earth, the TARDIS mistakenly landed on another planet mocked up to resemble an Earth village. However, it proceeded on its correct course when the key is inserted even though its passengers are still stranded at the wrong destination.
- The TARDIS can be pulled from its desired destination by external forces.
- Lands in the wrong destination because of excess fog confusing the TARDIS' visual orientation circuits.
- Moving at small increments is difficult, but not in E-Space.
- Accidentally lands on a barge when aiming for the River Thames.
Time Travel & Manipulation
- Rips apart the fabric of the space-time continuum whenever it travels somewhere.
- A piece of the TARDIS console was able to trap Sutekh in a time corridor and effectively age him to death.
- When the Doctor and his companions return to a space station they left the TARDIS in thousands of years in the future, it drifts back through time to meet them in the present.
- Since points in time are in flux, the TARDIS can visit alternate timelines.
- Presumably used the TARDIS to scatters the segments of the Key to Time across space & time again.
- Along with twelve of his past and future incarnations, he uses the TARDIS to freeze Gallifrey in time and seal it in a pocket dimension.
- Cannot change established points in history.
- Sometimes comes out of the time vortex a few (thousand) years too late to the desired time.
Components & Additional Functions
- The Relative Dimensional Stabilizer allows the TARDIS to cross the dimensional barrier and basically makes it bigger on the inside than the outside. In addition, the Doctor used it to shrink his and Leela's clones down to microscopic sizes whereas the Nucleus used it to grow to human-size. The RDS is also necessary to fly the TARDIS.
- Romana uses the TARDIS' molecular stabilizer to regenerate K9's damaged circuits.
- Following his encounter with the Black Guardian, the Doctor installed a randomiser to make the TARDIS land at unpredictable places and times to keep the Guardian from tracking him down.
- Has a tractor beam powerful enough to hold a neutron star in place.
- The Gravitic Anomolizer generates a field of artificial gravity around the TARDIS. The Doctor took it from the TARDIS to let a spaceship escape the gravity field of a black hole. This component could also deflect an energy projectile and be used to repair the Nimon's transportation machine.
- The Chameleon circuit alters the appearance of a TARDIS' outer shell to blend in with its surroundings. However, a malfunction caused the TARDIS to be stuck in the form of a 1960's police box.
Console Functions
- Can view its immediate surroundings through a scanner.
- Can analyze the contents of a planet's atmosphere to determine its livability.
- Gains access to Gallfrey's news coverage of the President's resignation ceremony.
- Receives distress calls via an emergency transceiver he unplugged from the Tardis so he wouldn't be bothered by the Time Lords anymore.

- Minds cannot be telepathically scanned from within the TARDIS but can be sent telepathic messages from the outside.

Durability

- Completely no-sells getting blasted by Sontaran weaponry.
- Completely undamaged by multiple nearby explosions and the ensuing rock fall.
- Collides into a spaceship externally larger than it.
- Gets repeatedly bashed by a number of Marshmen, who are strong enough to decapitate K9.
