The Cyber-Controller.

In an alternate reality, the Cyber-Controller was a leader of the Cybermen.

History[]

Led by the Cyber-Controller, the Cybermen were somehow able to alter history and bring their universe together with the primary universe so they could forge an alliance with the Borg to aid them in their conquest and gain their technology. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 4") Prior to 2368, the Cybermen entered into this alliance with the Borg. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 1") Though initial attempts at merging went smoothly, the two factions retained a lingering hostility, aware that one collective would inevitably attempt to assimilate the other. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 6")

The Cybermen remained unknown to the Federation until, on stardate 45635.2, a joint Borg/Cyberman assault force attacked the Federation planet Delta IV and quickly overran it. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 1") The USS Enterprise-D responded to a distress call there and ran into the fleet. Following a brief threat from the Cyber Controller, now modified with Borg technology, the fleets attacked and the Enterprise fled into the Paertes Nebula while the Borg/Cyberman fleet moved on to another target. (TNG - Assimilation² comics: "Issue 2", "Issue 3") The Borg–Cyberman fleet were on a course towards Earth, but stopped at Cogen V to assault that world and capture the Cogenians. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 4")

The unexpected arrival of the Doctor forced the hand of the Cybermen. Aware that their foe could stop them, the Cybermen acted with haste, locating a backdoor in the Borg executive library, they stripped most of the Borg of their higher functions, while also taking care to eliminate backup libraries, while recycling the individual Borg drones for parts. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 6")

The Cyberman ships then totalled the Borg fleet, and took the Cogenians for cyber-conversion before warping off to the Delta Quadrant to assimilate the majority of the Borg. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 4")

To defeat the Cybermen, the crew of the USS Enterprise-D joined forces with the Doctor, boarding the Cyberman flagship via the TARDIS and slowing it down enough for the Enterprise to catch up and attack with a gold-infused particle beam, crippling the craft. Via the Cyber-Controller and the Conduit, the away team was able to restore the Borg Collective who promptly set the Cyberman fleet to self-destruct. With no foothold, the two universes drifted apart once again, ending the influence of the Cybermen in the primary universe. (TNG - Assimilation² comic: "Issue 8")

Appendix[]

Within the Doctor Who universe, the rank of Cyber-Controller first appeared in the 1967 episode The Tomb of the Cybermen.
