Myers (Sky)

From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference

Miss Myers was a member of the Fleshkind race who were at war with Metalkind after they mined the Metalkind homeworld for ore, which in actuality was the Metalkind children. She intended for her artificially created daughter, named Sky, to be a weapon against them. However, Sky was taken from Myers and placed on Sarah Jane Smith's doorstep. Myers followed Sky to Earth and took over the Summerwell Nuclear Power Station.

After Sky's powers activated and damaged a Metalkind, Myers connected it to the plant's power supply. The damage Sky caused to the Metalkind confused it and Myers was able to use it to summon the rest of its kind to Earth. The confused Metalkind put out a summoning signal to the rest of his kind, thinking he was summoning them to battle rather than to their deaths. This forced Sarah Jane to bring Sky to her to save the world. However, Clyde Langer and Rani Chandra shut down the plant's core, closing the portal. The backlash all but neutralised Sky's powers, effectively disarming her as a bomb. The Metalkind freed itself, and using energy it had held in reserve, transported Myers back with it to its homeworld. (TV: Sky)

Personality

Miss Myers was a very confident, ambitious and desperate woman. She claimed the war between her species and Metalkind had changed her to what she was now. She hated the Metalkind and was willing to have them destroy Earth if they would be destroyed. She mocked humanity for not being as advanced as her own flesh species, suggesting prior knowledge of Earth and humans. (TV: Sky)

Abilities

Miss Myers had control over electricity and could fire powerful electrical bolts from her hands. She could take control of humans or render them unconscious, possibly by manipulating the electrical currents in the brain. She had a pendant that let her teleport. (TV: Sky)

Behind the scenes

  • Miss Myers is similar to Mrs Wormwood; each created a child as part of a nefarious plan. Wormwood wanted to use Luke to help the Bane invade Earth, while Myers wanted Sky to exterminate the Metalkind. Like Wormwood, her child was adopted by Sarah Jane Smith after her plot was foiled.
  • Despite her claims that ‘we don’t spell [the name Myers] the same way’, this wiki uses the spelling given in the credits, which had been ‘anglicised’ for ease of understanding, leaving it comically ambiguous how ‘Myers’ is spelt in whatever language is spoken by the Fleshkind.
