Cyber Controller

From ‘The Tomb of the Cybermen’ 1967

“You will become the first of a new race of Cybermen. You will return to the Earth and control it.”

The Doctor and his companions Jamie and Victoria arrive on the planet Telos where an Earth archaeological expedition, led by Professor Parry, is attempting to uncover the ancient City of Telos and the tombs of the Cybermen. The Cybermen have apparently been extinct for centuries and when the entrance to the ancient tombs is successfully located, the Doctor reluctantly aids the archaeologists in gaining entry.

Once inside, the financial sponsor of the expedition, Klieg, reveals himself and his business partner, Kaftan, to be planning to revive the Cybermen. He wants to use their strength, allied with the intelligence of his own Brotherhood of Logicians, to create an invincible force for conquest.

It transpires however that the tomb is actually a giant trap designed to lure humans suitable for conversion into further Cybermen – a fate that almost befalls Kaftan’s assistant Toberman. After fending off an attack by Cybermats – small but dangerous cybernetic creatures – the Doctor eventually defeats the revived Cybermen, led by their Controller, and reseals the tombs.
