Actually, I think I could get away with 6:
1. The Doctor (1st incarnation)
2. The Doctor (2nd incarnation)
3. The Doctor (3rd incarnation)
4. The Doctor (4th incarnation)
5. The Doctor (5th incarnation)
6. The Master
Yep: it's the team that the timelords assemble to investigate 'the game of Rassilon' in 'The Five Doctors' serial from Doctor Who.
OT: anyone else think it's about time they did another 'timeline crossover' in Doctor Who? In the old series they'd occasionally have the doctor cross his own past incarnations' timeline (though it was always at the request of the Timelord High Council, as they needed to stabilise the universe for it to be possible). Usually it involved the High Council sending the combined doctors after an unusually dangerous/powerful enemy - e.g. The 1st/2nd/3rd doctors teaming up against Omega.
I'd love to see an Eccleston/Tenant/Smith cross-over - though they haven't really introduced any recurring enemy in the 'deserves a cross-over serial' league, except maybe Rasillon in The End of Time.
So, how long do you think until they make 'the twelve doctors', and all twelve have to unite to save the something so grand as so be in line with the mass ramping up of the current series.
You know, 9th doctor finale, saves earth. tenth doctor, the earth (again), then the earth again, then the whole of reality, then the 11th doctor saves the very existence the universe.
It would have to be more to do with the 'ramping up' of the villain, rather than an increasing of the disaster to be prevented (to avoid something like 'he's going to destroy the universe!! Even more so than last time!!!)'. Out of villains that already exist in the cannon, there's:
- Omega (though he's already been beaten once - mind you, returning to the villain from the first ever cross-over might be a nice touch),
- The Black Guardian (pretty much all the doctor could do last time was run - to the point where the 4th doctor spends about a season and a half with the Tardis set to randomly teleport, to stop TBG finding out where the doctor is going by reading his mind from afar),
- the villain from Pyramids of Mars (forgotten his name, but remember the doctor's line that he'd wipe the Time Lords out in minutes, and the rest of the galaxy in seconds, if he resurrected fully),
- Fenric (was being set up as an ultimate 'big bad' in the last series of the original run - The 7th Doctor uses time-travel to manipulate key features of his companion Ace's life, to turn her into a weapon he can use against Fenric: i.e. somewhat more drastic measures than usual).
Actually...screw 7 heroes - here's my suggested seven evil aliens to pwn your 7-man-alien-killing squads! Let's see how your heros go up against the Alien team of Omega, The Black Guardian, Fenric, that-guy-from-Pyramids-of-Mars, The Master, the monster from the Pit (Impossible Planet episode) and Rasillon
