A Supreme Dalek loyal to Davros was present in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815 to help Napoléon Bonaparte win the battle.
As a punishment it increased its brain electro-stimulation by a factor of ten. (AUDIO: The Curse of Davros)
Behind the scenes[]
Appearance[]
Imperial Dalek Supreme closer look.
- The Imperial Dalek Supreme was later visualised on the cover of Sullivan and Cross - AWOL, rendered by James Johnson.[1]
- As with previous work, Johnson once again released a closer look at the Black Dalek Supreme design featured on the cover, noting its origins from the Dapol line of action figures.[2] Cover artist Caroline Tankersley also noted the design draws inspiration from the Black Dalek seen in The Curse of Fatal Death.[3]
Once the Imperial Dalek faction was established, it became necessary to implement a Dalek Supreme to command operations, such as the Napoleon Stratagem - much to Davros's displeasure. To ensure his authority as Emperor remained unchallenged, Davros conditioned the mind of the Supreme to be totally obedient to his will, with the capacity to punish it painfully in the event of failure. Nevertheless, its main purpose is to serve the Dalek cause - and will exterminate all who oppose it.
Other matters[]
- The Supreme Dalek has a deep voice similar to its New Series counterparts; one from the New Dalek Empire, one from the New Dalek Paradigm, and one from the Resurrected Dalek Empire.
