Editing Davros (section)

===The Time War and the Reality Bomb ===
During the revived series, Davros was referred to in the episode "[[Dalek (Doctor Who episode)|Dalek]]" (2005) by the [[Ninth Doctor]] ([[Christopher Eccleston]]), who explains to [[Henry Van Statten]] that the Daleks were created by "a genius... a man who was king of his own little world",<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Dalek |episode-link=Dalek (Doctor Who episode) |series=Doctor Who |series-link=Doctor Who |credits=Writer [[Robert Shearman]], Director [[Joe Ahearne]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] |network=[[BBC]] |station=[[BBC One]] |date=30 April 2005 |series-no=1 |number=6 }}</ref> and again by the [[Tenth Doctor]] ([[David Tennant]]) in the episode "[[Evolution of the Daleks]]" (2007), where he refers to the Daleks' creator as believing that "removing emotions makes you stronger".<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Evolution of the Daleks |episode-link=Evolution of the Daleks |series=Doctor Who |series-link=Doctor Who |credits=Writer [[Helen Raynor]], Director [[James Strong (director)|James Strong]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] |network=[[BBC]] |station=[[BBC One]] |date=28 April 2007 |series-no=3 |number=5 }}</ref> Davros makes his first physical appearance in the episode "[[The Stolen Earth]]" (2008), portrayed by [[Julian Bleach]]. The episode reveals that Davros was thought to have died during the first year of the [[Time War (Doctor Who)|Time War]], when his command ship "flew into the jaws of the Nightmare Child" at the Gates of Elysium, despite the Doctor's failed efforts to save him. But Davros was pulled out of the time lock of the war by Dalek Caan (voiced by [[Nicholas Briggs]]), using his own flesh to create a "new empire" of Daleks who place him in the Vault as their prisoner to make use of his knowledge. Under Davros' guidance, the Daleks steal 27 planets, including Earth, and hide them in the Medusa Cascade, one second out of sync with the rest of the universe.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=The Stolen Earth |episode-link=The Stolen Earth |series=Doctor Who |series-link=Doctor Who |credits=Writer [[Russell T Davies]], Director [[Graeme Harper]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] |network=[[BBC]] |station=[[BBC One]] |date=28 June 2008 |series-no=4 |number=12 }}</ref>

In the follow-up episode "[[Journey's End (Doctor Who)|Journey's End]]" (2008), it is revealed that the stolen planets are required as a power source for Davros' ideal [[final solution]]: the Reality Bomb, which produces a wavelength that would cancel out the electrical field binding atoms to reduce all life outside the Crucible into nothingness in both his universe and countless other realities. But Davros learns too late that Dalek Caan, who came to the realisation of his race's atrocities as a consequence of saving his creator, used his prophecies and influence to ensure the Daleks' destruction while manipulating events to bring the Tenth Doctor and [[Donna Noble]] ([[Catherine Tate]]) together for the role the latter would play. Though the Doctor attempts to save him, having earlier taunted the Doctor for turning his companions into killers and being the cause of the deaths of countless people during his travels, Davros furiously refuses the Doctor's help and accuses him of being responsible for the destruction while screaming: "Never forget, Doctor, you did this! I name you forever: ''You'' are the Destroyer of Worlds!" Thus the Doctor is forced to leave Davros to his supposed fate as the Crucible self-destructs.<ref>{{Cite episode |title=Journey's End |episode-link=Journey's End (Doctor Who) |series=Doctor Who |series-link=Doctor Who |credits=Writer [[Russell T Davies]], Director [[Graeme Harper]], Producer [[Phil Collinson]] |network=[[BBC]] |station=[[BBC One]] |date=5 July 2008 |series-no=4 |number=13 }}</ref>
