Cyber-Controller (Cybus)
- For the Cyber-Controller of our universe, see Cyber-Controller (Mondasian).
Formerly John Lumic, the Cyber-Controller directed the operations of his Cybermen, which he had created.
Profile
The Cybermen of his world subjected Lumic to cyber-conversion against his will. He remained seated in a chair, connected to it by tubing, though he did have full mobility as long as he disconnected the tubing. This Cyber-Controller was similar to his subordinates Cybermen, except his brain was visible and he had more advanced vision circuits.
Pursuing the Doctor and his allies into a zeppelin, the Cyber-Controller fell to the ground, presumably to his death. (DW: The Age of Steel)
Also the newer trailer for The Next Doctor showed at one point what appeared to be a Cyberman with its face-plate and "handlebars" coloured black, and with an exposed brain, but this is a Cyberleader. The Radio Times preview confirmed that Miss Hartigan is the Cyber-Controller in the special, despite being apparently human.
