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. | :::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.

*In Voyage of the Damned, everyone in London went to the countryside at Christmas. When the Titanic crashed, the only people who would have still been there is the Queen. Why do they apparently stay in this episode when there is nothing has changed since the Doctor's death to make it so? | *In Voyage of the Damned, everyone in London went to the countryside at Christmas.

* If the Trickster is responsible for "fixing" the major events happening on earth, why did he so arbitarily leave out the ones that happens in recent times? Based on the episode he 1) Stopped the Cult of Skaro in Manhattan in 1920s; 2) Stopped the Pyrovilles from conquering the Earth; and 3) Stopped the Carrionites in 1600s, and yet he did nothing against 1) the Sontaran Invasion (stopped by Torchwood); 2) the Spaceship Titanic and 3) the Adipose. Why the former three and not the latter three, and why the ones who occur in modern times? | |||
::Changes in time create different scenarios, though some things can be assumed or shown to have changed we do not know for sure what happens in this one. The people of London may have decided to stay out of a misguided attempt at defiance or some other reason. it is perfectly reasonable to assume that the time line being changed created a slight change in persona of the London people. | ::Changes in time create different scenarios, though some things can be assumed or shown to have changed we do not know for sure what happens in this one.
