Ice Warrior (The War Games)
During the Second Doctor's trial, the image of an Ice Warrior was projected through a Thought Channel onto a screen as an example to the Court of the "evils" which he fought.
The third of five examples of evil cited, the Ice Warriors were characterised by the Doctor as "cruel Martian invaders" who he noted had tried to conquer the Earth, (TV: The War Games [+]Loading...["The War Games (TV story)"]) only to be defeated by the Doctor at Brittanicus Base and on the Moonbase. (TV: The War Games in Colour [+]Loading...["The War Games in Colour (TV story)"], The Ice Warriors [+]Loading...["The Ice Warriors (TV story)"], The Seeds of Death [+]Loading...["The Seeds of Death (TV story)"]) As the Doctor listed these evils, images of the species were seen on the screen; in one account these were generic images of the monsters in motion, (TV: The War Games [+]Loading...["The War Games (TV story)"]) but in another, the images included snapshots of the Doctor and his companions' encounters with them.
