History

A similar-looking Cyber-Lord led the surviving Cybusmen, following the Battle of Canary Wharf, during their encounter with the Tenth Doctor and Jackson Lake before being destroyed by Mercy Hartigan. (TV: The Next Doctor ^[+]Loading...["The Next Doctor (TV story)"]) A historical account of the Doctor's universe recounted a suggestion that cross pollination of the Cybus Cybermen and the Cybermen of Mondas led to the weapons-grade Cyberman model used by the Cyberiad.

A Cyber-Lord was in command of a Cyber-ship which was caught in a temporal storm before crashing on Earth in the Arctic Circle. Ten thousand years later, in 2010, these Cybermen were discovered and defeated by the Eleventh Doctor and Amy Pond, with the Cyber-Lord being destroyed by Chisholm.

At the end of the universe, the weapons-grade Cybermen were seemingly led by a matching Cyber-Leader who allied with Rassilon following his exile, installing him as Cyber-President on Gallifrey. In reality, however, this Leader was subordinate to a Cyber-Controller who betrayed Rassilon and planned to usher in the Age of the Cyberiad, which was thwarted when the Twelfth Doctor and Rassilon regenerated the universe and so erased these events.
