- For a general overview of Cyber-Leaders belonging to the various types of Cybermen, see here.
A Cyber-Leader was part of the hierarchy of the Cybermen originating on Mondas.
Profile
A Cyber-Leader served as the supreme leader of the Cybermen when the Cyber-Controller was not present. Cyber-Leaders were sometimes accompanied and assisted by a Cyber-Lieutenant. (DW: The Five Doctors, Silver Nemesis)
While there appear to have been several Cyber-Leaders, it is unclear if their existence overlapped. Leaders were of sufficient value to warrant a personal guard of Cybermen. (DW: Earthshock)
Although Cyber-Leaders shared the same basic vulnerabilities as their subordinates, they were stronger than normal Cybermen. When attacked with gold, they were more resistant (DW: Silver Nemesis). They were recognisable as leader by either a black helmet (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen), or black handle bars on their helmet (DW: Earthshock, DW: The Five Doctors, DW: Attack of the Cybermen and Silver Nemesis) depending upon the specific sub-species of Cyberman. (REF: DW: Cybermen)
History
Voga
A Cyber-Leader was in command of an ancient Cybership which attempted to destroy the planet of gold, Voga, to stop the production of Glitterguns. It was killed when its ship was destroyed by the Vogan rocket, Sky Striker. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)
Start of the Cyber-Wars
A Cyber-Leader planned to destroy Earth with Cyber-bombs to stop a conference leading to an alliance against the Cybermen. When its androids were destroyed and the bomb had failed, it sent the Cybermen to attack Briggs' freighter. Its cargo, unknown to the crew, was an army of Cybermen. They awoke and took over the ship. The Cyber-Leader planned to destroy life on Earth by hitting it with the craft they had reprogrammed. The craft was taken back in time by the Fifth Doctor. It hit the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. The Cyber-Leader attacked the Doctor, Nyssa and Tegan Jovanka in The Doctor's TARDIS. The Doctor ground Adric's gold star badge into the Cyber-Leader's chest. It shot at the TARDIS console and died when the Doctor shot it several times. (DW: Earthshock)
In the Death Zone
A Cyber-Leader commanded a squad Time Scooped by Borusa to the Death Zone. It found the Doctor and the Master and fired at them. The Doctor escaped with the Master's homing beacon while the Master tricked the Cybermen into working with him to destroy the Time Lords. They went to a giant chessboard in the Dark Tower. When the Cybermen attempted to cross, they were all electrocuted. The Cyber-Leader asked why the Master had betrayed them. He told him the safe path changed with every journey. When the Master showed the Cyber-Leader the safe path under threat of death, he turned around and killed the Cyber-Leader. (DW: The Five Doctors)

The Nemesis
A Cyber-Leader led a shuttle to Earth in 1988 to find the Nemesis and, upon arrival, they massacred the Neo-Nazis whom they encountered at their landing site.
