Doctor Who
circumspection : coddler ahead for Doctor Who season 15 , sequence 2 , " Lux . "
After antecedently being convinced thatDoctor Whorevealed a hush-hush Pantheon member during the Seventh Doctor ’s era , season 15 has sadly proved my possibility faulty . Doctor Whoseason 14 ’s endingstunningly , albeit controversially , redefined classic - era villain Sutekh as the Pantheon ’s God of Death , whilst also stretch the retcon to include both the Toymaker and the Mara . Immediately , this revelation raise questions over which other classicDoctor Whovillains might have been secret Pantheon God all along .
Doctor Whoseason 15 continues to expand the Pantheon ’s rank list with the titular character of " Lux . " Voiced by Alan Cumming , Lux isDoctor Who ’s God of Light , perish down to Earth via a moonbeam and embodied within the image of the cartoon character Mr. Ring - a - Ding . While Lux is doubtless an exciting addition , he almost completely ruins a theory connecting a villain from 36 years ago to theDoctor WhoPantheon .
After Doctor Who Season 14, I Really Thought Light From The Seventh Doctor’s Era Was The Pantheon’s God Of Light
It Was Good, But It Wasn’t Right
Of all the classicDoctor Whovillainswho had the electric potential to be Pantheon gods , Light was perhaps the most convincing . appear in " Ghost Light,“Light proved powerful enough to threaten the intact human race , casting judgment upon it after being jug by the story ’s villains . The Doctor was clearly familiar with Light ’s reputation , and treated him with an unexpected reverence , at the same time respecting the being ’s power and acknowledge its cosmic standing .
" Ghost Light " introducedLight as an alien rather than a God , but the character ticked all the boxes necessary to be consider aDoctor Whodeity , from the wrathful tone of vocalisation to the perception of Earth ’s humans as an in and of itself inferior species . AfterDoctor Whoseason 14 introduced the Pantheon , the God of Death , the God of Games , etc . , it looked inevitable that there would be a God of Light in some shape or physique , and no fictional character looked more dependent for the place than the one made of light , treated as the epitome of lighting , and literally called " Light . "
Sutekh ’s disclosure that there are more Pantheon gods sparks question about which Doctor Who villains could be retconned to be among them .

Alas , Doctor Whoseason 15 had other idea . The Pantheon ’s God of Light is actually Lux Imperator , who appear to share nothing in common with Light from " Ghost Light " whatsoever .
Could Light & Lux Be The Same Entity?
The Doctor Who God Of Light Theory Isn’t Totally Extinguished
WhileDoctor Whoseason 15 ’s " Lux"does more or less debunk the idea that Light was a Pantheon god back in 1989 , it could be argued that both character are actually the same creature . The Toymaker that force David Tennant to bi - generate was all different to the variant that bedevil William Hartnell ’s First Doctor in disastrous and white . And when the Fourth Doctor first met Sutekh , he was connected to Egyptian mythology rather than the fabric of the cosmos itself .
Within those parameters , it could be argued that Light , like Mr. Ring - a - dent , was just another vessel for Lux . The God of Light shine down from the heavens , possess some unsuspecting alien , and began look for the universe for celestial sustenance . When Ace burned down the house Light was trapped deep down , Lux establish himself give up back to where he came from , only to launch another attempt at taking strong-arm shape in 1952 Miami .

The only wrinkle in this mind is Lux ’s " you must be the one … " address , during which the baddie reel off the Doctor ’s victories over other gods . The exchange all but corroborate Lux and the Doctor have never antecedently met . This could be explained well enough by some form of memory reset every time Lux hold over a fresh body , but it does also make the overriding imprint that Light was not , in fact , Doctor Who ’s God of Light .
