He has other Sith powers? Well, I guess if you consider mental illness a power that gives him 2...

I think they have a Star Wars vs. Star Trek showdown in the movie Fanboys.
Edit: I like my Doctor Who in Black and White.

Blood Angel Captain Wracked with Visions

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Anakin_Skywalker
Darth Vader made extensive use of both the Force Choke and Force Crush abilities, as he demonstrated numerous times throughout his life. The Dark Lord also possessed skill in the use of Tutaminis, such as when he deflected several blaster bolts from Han Solo's blaster on Bespin. He was also capable of both blocking and redirecting Force Lightning with the Force, as he demonstrated during his duel with Galen Marek on board the first Death Star. He also had proficiency in the use of Kinetite, which he used in an attempt to defeat his son on Mimban (though what exactly this power amounted to is a matter of debate). Vader also used a similar power to Force Destruction when facing Galen Marek on the first Death Star. In this instance, he would surround himself with a red energy field which he would then unleash at Marek. On a similar note, the aforementioned energy field also functioned as a barrier that Marek could not penetrate with either the Force or his lightsaber. Thus it would appear that Vader retained his skill at creating Force barriers. In addition, he utilized a semi-visible Force barrier during the Gentis coup to fend off the attacks of Gentis's traitorous soldiers.
The Dark Lord could also use Telepathy, such as when he communicated with his son shortly after their duel on Bespin. Vader demonstrated the ability to Drain Knowledge from his victims, such as when he discovered that Luke had a twin sister. Vader was also adept at Saber throw, which he would often utilize in combat to make up for his relative lack of mobility.
. . .
It should be noted that Darth Vader, despite being a powerful Sith Lord, was rarely seen generating Force lightning. This was due to the extensive presence of cybernetic augmentations in his body as well as the presence of the electronic life-suport system in his suit. Any attempt by Vader to generate Force Lightning carried the great risk of causing these systems to short-circuit, possibly to deadly effect. There are however, a few circumstances where he has been recorded using it, most notably when he was in close proximity to the Force-enhancing Kaiburr crystal. In this case, he was seen to generate "Force energized lightning", which he used against his son. The crystal however, was also seen to erode Vader's self control to the point that he was actively trying to kill Luke during their duel, despite the fact that he very much wanted only to capture him. Thus, it is not known whether the crystal shielded Vader from the potentially fatal effects of generating Force Lightning, or eroded his self control to the point that he simply disregarded the risks. On one occasion he also demonstrated the ability to re-direct already existing electricity. During his battle with Starkiller on Kamino, he was able to gather residual electricity from the lightning rods surrounding the battleground and blast it at his opponent.
In combat, Vader was extremely adept at utilizing telekinetic attacks, and often made liberal use of his telekinetic abilities during duels. He was capable of performing incredibly powerful Force Pushes and Grips, capable of overwhelming even Force-sensitives of Galen Marek and the cloned Starkiller's caliber. He was also capable of telekinetically griping and hurling objects without the need to utilize the "throwing" motion that nearly all Force sensitives were seen to use. This was most evident during his fight with Luke on Bespin, where he was able to surprise his son by telekinetically throwing a metal box at his head while maintaining a two-handed bladelock. He was also very proficient in the application of Force Repulse and Force Wave, and was able to generate enough power with both attacks to easily kill Force-insensitive assailants.

I wasn't counting anything from Force Unleashed as canon just yet, they are making a cartoon about that time period, so we can see where the chips fall with that. And the rest aren't all that dark-sidey as far as force powers go. Probably just stuff he learned as a Jedi.
Otherwise, impressive rebuttal, and I feel a slight urge to go take a nap...

First, Time Lords are telepathic and can shut down mental attacks directed at them.
As for the others things, well lets just say when the Doctor takes on galactic empires, and wins, he rarely requires any army to back him up.
Nice thing is that he achieves all this without a pissing contest, or getting his shirt off for that matter.
