| A '''Cyber-Leader''' was part of the hierarchy of the [[Cybermen (Mondas)|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 (TV story)|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 (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'', [[DW]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'' and ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'') depending upon the specific sub-species of Cyberman. ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who: Cybermen|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 [[Glittergun]]s. It was killed when its ship was destroyed by the [[Vogan (Revenge of the Cybermen)|Vogan]] rocket, Sky Striker. ([[DW]]: ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Start of the [[Cyber-Wars]] ===
| |
| A Cyber-Leader planned to destroy [[Earth]] with [[Cyber-bomb]]s to stop a conference leading to an alliance against the Cybermen. When its [[Cyberman android|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 [[dinosaur]]s. 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]]'') [[File:Cyberleader_2.jpg|thumb|left|The Doctor uses Adric's badge to damage the Cyberleader because it was made out of gold. (DW: [[Earthshock]]) ]]
| |
| | |
| === In the [[Death Zone]] ===
| |
| A Cyber-Leader commanded a squad [[Time Scoop]]ed by [[Borusa]] to the [[Death Zone]]. It found the Doctor and [[The Master (Tremas)|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 Lord]]s. 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 (TV story)|The Five Doctors]]'')
| |
| | |
| === Saving [[Mondas]] ===
| |
| A Cyber-Leader was second in command to the Cyber-Controller in its attempt to time travel and destroy Earth in the year [[1985]] so [[Mondas]] would not be destroyed [[1986|the next year]]. He and the Cyber-Controller were shot dead by the [[Sixth Doctor]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'')
| |
| | |
| === The [[Nemesis]] ===
| |
| A Cyber-Leader led a shuttle to Earth in [[1988]] to find the [[Nemesis]] and, upon arrival, they massacred the Neo-[[Nazi]]s whom they encountered at their landing site. The Cyber-Leader was wounded by a gold coin shot by [[Ace]], but he survived and shot [[De Flores]] dead when he held the bow. The Cyber-Leader was killed by [[Richard Maynarde]], who stabbed him with [[Peinforte|Lady Peinforte]]'s gold arrow. ([[DW]]: ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'')

| |
| A Cyber-Leader commanded the Twelfth Cyber Legion in the [[52nd century]]. It, like its predecessors, had black handle bars on his helmet, but also had a black face and a transparent "window" through which its brain could be seen, similiar to the [[Cyber-Lord (The Next Doctor)|Cyber-Lord of Pete's World]]. ''([[DW]]: [[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]])'' [[Rory Williams]] went to the Cyber-Leader's [[Cyber Ship]] and confronted it to learn the location of Demon's Run. Part of the fleet was then destroyed by the [[Eleventh Doctor]], just to make a point to the [[Church]]'s Anglican Marines and the Cybermen. ([[DW]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War]]'')
