The Ice Warriors (also known as Martians or Ice Lords) are one of the many recurring alien species encountered in the television series Doctor Who. They first appeared as the main antagonists in the Second Doctor in the 1967 serial "The Ice Warriors". They are warriors from planet Mars. Despite the fact that they have primarily appeared as antagonists in the series, subsequent appearances have depicted Ice Warriors that have eschewed violence and even ally themselves with the Doctor.

History[]

In their first appearance in The Ice Warriors, a crew that had been buried in Earth's glaciers for thousands of years were revived during a second Ice Age. Despite the Second Doctor’s efforts to stop them from launching an attack on Earth, he was eventually forced to use the Ioniser to melt the Ice Warriors when they began to develop a sonic cannon to launch a ‘pre-emptive strike’ against the humans.

In The Seeds of Death the Ice Warriors are led by the Ice Lords, with the Grand Marshall being the overarching commander. The Ice Warriors led by Lord Slaar invade Earth's Moonbase in the mid 21st century to seize control of T-Mat, so that they could spread Martian seed pods all over the planet. These seeds would release oxygen-destroying spores that would freeze Earth and lower the climate so they could live there and the humans would die out. While Slaar was able to force technician Fewsham to aid them, other, such as Phipps resisted, with Phipps developing a weapon against them via a solar transmitter. Zoe was able to buy time by knocking the Ice Warriors out after turning up the base’s temperature, they regained consciousness while the Doctor and his allies were trying to stop a Warrior who had been sent down to a London weather station, The Doctor destroying the Ice Warrior with the solar transmitter. The Doctor was able to devise a formula to destroy the pods, and thanks to Fewsham's sacrifice, modified a satellite signal that the fleet was using to travel to Earth to redirect the fleet into the sun.

In the episode The Curse of Peladon, it is revealed that the Ice Warriors have renounced their evil past and have joined a galactic federation as peace keepers. They even team up with the Third Doctor. In "The Monster of Peladon", the Ice Warriors are led by the Ice Lord Azaxyr. They are in the middle of a power struggle between the hierarchy of Peladon and the miner class. Azaxyr tells them that the miners have to work nonstop and the king has to supply guard to watch them and kill them if they stop or refuse. When both sides refuse Azaxyr reveals that the Ice Warriors are holding a bunch of hostages and for every day they continue to refuse his ways and refuse to join the galactic federation they will kill one prisoner. He later went further by declaring marshal law and trying to take over the planet. However they are stopped by the Third Doctor.

The episode "Cold War" introduces Grand Marshal Skaldak. After being frozen in an ice cap for 5000 years he is uncovered by the Eleventh Doctor and Clara who are accompanying a group of Russian soldiers in a submarine. He is described as a legendary and feared warrior. When the crew tried to subdue him however he was easily able to plow through them. He was also able to take off his armor and still control it, even when he was not in it. When he finds out that the submarine has a nuclear missile he prepares to fire them. In the end, an Ice Warrior ship came over Earth and retrieved him. The Doctor and the crew are able to stop the missiles in time. The episode "Empress of Mars" introduces an Ice Queen named Iraxxa.

Trivia[]

  • Its worth noting that the Doctor actually respects Ice Warriors and their code. Unlike the Sontarans, who are bullheaded combatants for the sake of battle, Ice Warriors have genuine honor backing their reasons.
