A '''Cyber-Leader''' was part of the hierarchy of the [[Cybermen]].
 
==Profile==
A Cyber-Leader would serve as the supreme leader of the Cybermen, when the [[Cyber-Controller]] was not present. Cyber-Leaders are sometimes accompanied and assisted by a [[Cyber-Lieutenant]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Five Doctors]]'', ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'')
 
There appear to have been several Cyber-Leaders, it is unclear whether their existence overlapped or not. It is known however that 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 designated as the 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]]'') dependent upon the specific sub-species of Cyberman. ([[REF]]: ''[[Doctor Who: Cybermen|DW: Cybermen]]'')
