As is well known in the fandom, the most common baddie competition is between Daleks and Cybermen because it is so obvious. It is not easy to chose between such vastly different creatures. When the staff at Doctor Who Watch was given the assignment to write about if they prefer Daleks or Weeping Angels, I was initially at a bit of a loss. And there is that whole thing the Daleks have about looking like pepper shakers. For the Weeping Angels, as long as they are being watched, they are rendered immobile. In the case of the Daleks, those weaknesses have decreased, as they eventually adaptedВ toВ overcomeВ their initial inability to use stairs.В A persistent weakness forВ the Daleks is their extreme hatred and xenophobia, which hinders their efforts to take over the universe.

Both have their strengths and weaknesses. Understandably, these two creatures have become the favorite enemies among the fanbase for The Doctor to face off against. Both creatures have been terrifying the audience every since they first appeared on the screen, and have been a part of some of the most memorable Doctor Who episodes in the history of the show. Daleks have been around since the beginning of the first season of Classic Doctor Who, while the Weeping Angels were arguably the best brainchild of Steven Moffat. It is a battle of the old school versus the new school.
