K is for... Krasko


A racist mass murderer from the 52nd Century. Whilst incarcerated in the Stormcage penal facility, he had a device implanted into him which prevented him from carrying out any further acts of violence.
He used a Vortex Manipulator to travel back to the town of Montgomery, Alabama, in the year 1955, in an attempt to stifle the nascent Civil Rights movement. This was the location where Rosa Parks would refuse to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger, just because of their colour.
Krasko could not harm her directly, so went about trying to make sure that the incident never took place, such as attempting to detour the bus. He failed.
The Doctor's companion Ryan caused him to become displaced in time with his own equipment, back to the age of the dinosaurs, after the Doctor had destroyed his Vortex Manipulator.

Played by: Joshua Bowman. Appearances: Rosa (2018).
  • The Civil Rights history aspects of Rosa may be great, but Krasko has to be one of the most pathetically conceived villains the series has ever produced.
