In [[August]] [[1925]], Jovanovic encountered a [[Cyberman (Monsters in Metropolis)|lost Cyberman]] and gained control over its actions. He used it to infiltrate the [[film]] set of [[Fritz Lang]]'s ''[[Metropolis (film)|Metropolis]]'' by passing it off as an advanced [[puppet]] that could play the film's [[robot]]. Jovanovic was intent on ceasing production completely because the film was to promote a message of [[peace]], even though the current peace experienced by Germany was a humiliation.
