Rename
I've added a SpeedyRename tag on this page because there are actually two Cyber-Leaders in Cyber Crisis. The first Cyber-Leader appears earlier in the story that this one and is destroyed before this page's Cyber-Leader even appears at all, so they're not the same individual. Although the first Cyber-Leader is physically identical to regular CyberNeomorphs, I've named its page as Cyber-Leader 1 because it's referred to as "Leader" by another Cyberman, which "Cyber-Leader" is often abbreviated to. Besides, the colouring oddity is, I believe, most likely a colouring error.
I'm aware that the page's name may cause confusion with Cyber-Leader Two from Doomsday, but it makes the most sense to me, as "Cyber-Leader 2", while conjectural, is the best we've really got for a distinct name, and the addition of "(Cyber Crisis)" at the end of its name seems unnecessary to me given that Cyber-Leader Two is formatted purely in words, and numbers are often used in page titles where distinction from another similarly-named page is necessary (e.g. TARDIS 1 (The Timeless Children) and TARDIS 2 (The Timeless Children)). Although, given that two Cyber-Leaders are present in Killing Ground, a disambiguation page for numbered Cyber-Leaders may be in order. Thalek Prime Overseer ☎ 09:35, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
