Cyber-Controller (Supremacy of the Cybermen): Difference between revisions

The Cyber-Controller ruled a remnant force of [[Cyberman|Cybermen]] that existed at the [[end of the universe]]. When [[Rassilon]], exiled from [[Gallifrey]] by the [[Twelfth Doctor]], landed his [[bowship]] at the Cybermen's [[asteroid]] [[colony]], the Cyber-Controller kept its presence secret from Rassilon as he consulted [[Cyber-Leader (Supremacy of the Cybermen)|the Cyber-Leader]] over his plan to make the Cybermen the dominant species across all of [[time]] and [[space]]. After Rassilon was [[Cyber-conversion|converted]] into the [[Cyber-President]], he assisted the Cybermen in forging the [[Gallifreyan Cyber Fleet]] to invade Gallifrey, with a particular focus on the [[Capitol]]. While the Cybermen made use of [[Time Lord]] technology to gain complete dominance over the past, the Cyber-Controller allowed Rassilon to believe he was in charge until the final stages of the Cybermen's plan were ready to be enacted.

After Rassilon, the Twelfth Doctor and [[the General]] arrived at the chamber of the [[Eye of Harmony]], the Cybermen eventually betrayed Rassilon and forced all three Time Lords into [[Loom]]s to harvest their [[regeneration energy]]. However, the Cyber-Controller then intervened with a new strategy, explaining to the Doctor that the Cybermen intended to ignite the regeneration energy inside the Eye of Harmony at the exact moment the universe would end, rebirthing [[N-Space]] as the "[[Age of the Cyberiad]]", a reality which would be dominated by an ultimate evolution of Cybermen from its very beginning. Noting that Rassilon's regenerative energy readings were too unstable to complete the Cybermen's plan, the Cyber-Controller ordered the Doctor plugged in as a substitute, with the two Time Lords eventually being upgraded.  

As the universe began to rapidly collapse, the Cyber-Controller ordered the activation of the Eye of Harmony to create the Cybermen's ultimate reality. However, the stored regenerative energy began flowing backwards. It was then that the Doctor and Rassilon revealed that, despite their conversions, they had retained their [[consciousness]]es and had altered the Eye of Harmony's protocols from within the [[Cyberiad]]. With regenerative energy flowing throughout the Cyberiad, which now spanned the whole of history, the Cybermen's conquest of time and space was reversed. The Cyber-Controller, who was directly exposed to the Eye of Harmony, was engulfed in regenerative energy as it screamed in despair, shortly before the timeline reset.

The Cyber-Controller's [[brain]] was visible through a [[glass]] covering on its [[Cyber-helmet|helmet]]. It lacked [[side handle]]s on its helmet, instead possessing a pair of large blank, [[metal]] [[panel]]s where a [[human]]'s [[ear]]s would normally be. Additionally, the Cyber-Controller lacked a [[chest unit]] or any other kind of external bodily components or mechanisms, aside from a thin, vertical oval-shaped [[light]] on its [[chest]] that varied between being blue and white in colour. Its [[body]] was also significantly more [[muscle|muscular]] than most Cybermen. The Cyber-Controller's [[face]] featured bright, white [[eye]]s with [[blue]] highlights, and lacked the "[[tear]]-drop" on the corners that were commonly seen on other Cybermen.
