:::However is the Trickster really a match for either the Daleks or the Cybermen? He seemingly can't stop them when the Darkness is coming in Donna's World.

::::It's hard to know who the Trickster is or isn't a match for. Given that he's a [[Transcendental Being]] (like the [[Guardians of Time|Guardians]], the [[Eternal]]s, etc.), it seems likely that he's a match for the Cybermen or a handful of Daleks in normal circumstances. The fact that he couldn't stop the Darkness spreading from the Reality Bomb doesn't prove anything except that the Reality Bomb wasn't normal circumstances — that's kind of the dramatic point of that episode, that a mere mortal like Davros is about to achieve something that even the gods couldn't.

:::Furthermore if he was able to defeat them wouldn't he stop the Cult in the 1930s in such a way that they would all die and therefore there would be no Caan going back in time to rescue Davros (it would be very unlikely that only Caan would have survived again) hence no reality bomb.

::::Even if the Trickster stopped the Cult of Skaro in the 30s, the Reality Bomb was detonated in another universe (the main continuity) and spread to every universe. The Trickster couldn't prevent it from happening if it were in another universe.
