John Lumic

John Lumic was a business tycoon and owner of Cybus Industries and the creation of the Cybermen of his universe. Born in Great Britain (he called it 'the Homeland'), he advanced the entire planet through inventions such as the EarPod.

Lumic suffered from a terminal illness and used a motorized wheelchair as transport. He had devoted his knowledge and fortune to discover a way to make himself immortal. To this end, he used Cybus Industries' front organisation International Electromatics to collect homeless citizens to use as unwilling test subjects towards this end.
