History ComicBook / DoctorWhoSupremacyOfTheCybermen

* EnemyMine: The Sontarans force this on the Tenth Doctor by making them their new field marshal since he has more experience fighting the Cybermen, who have already destroyed the Rutans and most of the other Sontarans in the new timeline.

** The First Doctor and Susan.
** The Second Doctor and Polly (in an explicitly twisted version of a scene from "The Moonbase").

** The Seventh Doctor and [[spoiler:a fully converted Ace]].
** The Eighth Doctor and his Titan companion Josie.
** The War Doctor.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Incredibly, an entire miniseries set after the events of "Hell Bent" manages to be told without anyone on Karn or Gallifrey making a single reference to Clara Oswald, despite the fact Rassilon was deposed and the General was forced to regenerate as a direct result of the Doctor's efforts to save her -- and until she returns to Gallifrey and her death, the fate of the universe remains uncertain. While the Twelfth Doctor ''has'' been mind-wiped of his key physical/emotional memories of her and does not know she is taking "the long way 'round" to her death, it appears Ohila, the General, Rassilon and everyone else on Gallifrey have forgotten about her as well, even though she not only defied death, but ''may well hold a grudge against them'' for what they did to the Doctor! True, with the Cyber-threat there are more pressing matters, but there are several occasions in the first and final chapters where the question of Clara could have been raised. (Then again, this story's ResetButton ending probably would have rendered any such discussion moot.)

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Incredibly, an entire miniseries set after the events of "Hell Bent" manages to be told without anyone on Gallifrey making a single reference to Clara Oswald, despite the fact Rassilon was deposed and the General was forced to regenerate as a direct result of the Doctor's efforts to save her and as long as she exists the fate of the universe remains uncertain. Yet not only does the Twelfth Doctor have no memories of her, it appears Ohila, the General, Rassilon and everyone else on Gallifrey has forgotten her, as well. True, with the Cyber-threat there are more pressing matters but there are several occasions in the first and finale chapter where the issue could have been raised.

The Twelfth Doctor, tragically, had a key role in the events that led to this unfolding catastrophe: He was the man who bloodlessly overthrew Rassilon when he returned to Gallifrey "the long way 'round", after a horrifying ordeal at his hands that also claimed the life of his beloved companion Clara[note]Oddly, however, the story makes no reference to Clara. Although the Doctor's memories of her have been suppressed, the same shouldn't be true of the Time Lords and Ohila[/note]. Now he is in a very different universe...as are his previous selves and their respective companions/associates: in particular, Nine with Rose and Jackie Tyler and Captain Jack Harkness, Ten with Gabby Gonzalez and Cindy Wu, and Eleven with Alice. How can things be set to rights?

* LateArrivalSpoiler: As noted above, this story assumes familiarity with the events of "Hell Bent", the most recent SeasonFinale of the television series.

* WritingForTheTrade: With FourLinesAllWaiting and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters compounded by a great deal of exposition as to what Rassilon and the Cybermen are doing, how they're doing it, and the effect it has on the established timelines, this five-part miniseries has little actual plot and CharacterDevelopment; the only real question is how Twelve finds and pushes the metaphorical ResetButton to undo the Cybermen's meddling. Plus, the Prologues featuring other characters only appear in solo titles and other miniseries. The biweekly release schedule should have compensated for the extremely slow pace, but then ScheduleSlip kicked in.

* ForegoneConclusion: ExpandedUniverse ''Doctor Who'' works, with the exception of certain Big Finish audio plays, cannot make substantial alterations/additions to the televised canon, so nothing that happens in this story as a result of Rassilon and the Cybermen's meddling will be able to stick. It doesn't help suspense that ''The Twelfth Doctor: Year Two'' comics released alongside this miniseries included the storyline "The Twist", in which he takes on a new, original companion who does not appear in ''Supremacy''. Combined with a ContinuityNod (see above) and the same writer (George Mann) on both stories, this story appears to be set before "The Twist". And Cybermen aren't decimating the universe in "The Twist", so... Sure enough history gets returned to its usual state at the end.
* FourLinesAllWaiting: The story rotates between four different locations, with no Doctor aware of what's happening to his other selves.

** As in ''Four Doctors'', the previous Titan multi-Doctor miniseries, the villains are trying to MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight and the Doctor must find a way to SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong in response. In addition, said villains are teaming up with each other and combining their abilities and technology for their mutual benefit; in ''Four Doctors'' the situation was [[spoiler: an evil alternate universe Twelfth Doctor teaming up with the Voord and their Hive Mind]].

* ResetButton: At the end, the original timeline is completely restored by [[spoiler: the Doctor and Rassilon using regeneration energy to undo the rewritten one. Both still remember these events]]. This ending also means that this story has no impact on the televised continuity with regards to the Doctor's post-Series 9 relationship with Gallifrey.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: '''None''' of the Doctors have this in the Cybermen's new, highly contradictory timeline, but at the end [[spoiler: despite the universe returning to its normal state the Twelfth Doctor remembers what happened and wonders if Rassilon does]].

* WorldHealingWave: The [[spoiler: regeneration energy of the Twelfth Doctor and Rassilon sent back through time]] restores the original timeline.

* TimeyWimeyBall: The Cybermen's alterations to the history of the universe cause a bunch of paradoxes in the Doctor's timeline -- [[spoiler:the Second Doctor being cyber-converted]], Rose and Jack learning about the Cybermen while traveling with ''Nine'', not Ten (and [[spoiler: Rose and Nine ending up cyber-converted]]), etc. The biggest paradox is that the '''Twelfth''' Doctor is the one who exiles Rassilon and allows the Cybermen to encounter him, which can't happen if any of his previous lives are cyber-converted or destroyed! The reason there's no RealityBreakingParadox in play is because Rassilon is using Gallifrey's Eye of Harmony itself in the service of the plot. Since the Twelfth Doctor can't stop himself from exiling Rassilon in the first place, correcting it turns out to involve [[spoiler: him and Rassilon, once linked to the Cyberiad, sending their regeneration energy back in time instead of forward as the Cybermen want]].

Both still remember these events and Rassilon never enlists the help of the Cybermen in the first place]]. This ending also means that this story has no impact on the televised continuity with regards to the Doctor's post-Series 9 relationship with Gallifrey.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: '''None''' of the Doctors have memories of what happens to his previous selves in the Cybermen's new, highly contradictory timeline. Averted for [[spoiler: the Twelfth Doctor and Rassilon]] at the end, who recall everything that happens in both the alternate timeline and the original one, which means [[spoiler: Rassilon never enlists the Cybermen's help and the alternate timeline never exists]].
** [[spoiler:Despite the universe returning to its normal state the Twelfth Doctor remembers what happened and wonders if Rassilon does.]]

* TimeyWimeyBall: The Cybermen's alterations to the history of the universe cause a bunch of paradoxes in the Doctor's timeline -- [[spoiler:the Second Doctor being cyber-converted]], Rose and Jack learning about the Cybermen while traveling with ''Nine'', not Ten (and [[spoiler: Rose and Nine ending up cyber-converted]]), etc. The biggest paradox is that the '''Twelfth''' Doctor is the one who exiles Rassilon and allows the Cybermen to encounter him, which can't happen if any of his previous lives are cyber-converted or destroyed!

Since the Twelfth Doctor can't stop himself from exiling Rassilon in the first place, correcting it turns out to involve [[spoiler: him and Rassilon, once linked to the Cyberiad, sending their regeneration energy back in time instead of forward as the Cybermen want. This restores the original timeline, and Rassilon, remembering the alternate one, never enlists the help of the Cybermen in the first place]].

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: In the cliffhanger of Part Four, the Cybermen decide [[spoiler: Rassilon, as well as the Doctor,]] have reached this point and move in for the kill.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: '''None''' of the Doctors have memories of what happens to his previous selves in the Cybermen's new, highly contradictory timeline.

* TimeyWimeyBall: It's already clear in Part One and the prologues that the Cybermen's alterations to the history of the universe are not taking effect all at once, causing a bunch of paradoxes in the Doctor's timeline -- [[spoiler:the Second Doctor being cyber-converted]], Rose and Jack learning about the Cybermen while traveling with ''Nine'', not Ten (and [[spoiler: Rose and Nine ending up cyber-converted]]), etc. The biggest paradox is that the '''Twelfth''' Doctor is the one who exiles Rassilon and allows the Cybermen to encounter him, which can't happen if any of his previous lives are cyber-converted or destroyed! The reason there's no RealityBreakingParadox in play is because Rassilon is using Gallifrey's Eye of Harmony itself in the service of the plot. Since the Twelfth Doctor can't stop himself from exiling Rassilon in the first place, it will take something ''very'' timey-wimey to correct all of this.
* TheStarscream: Rassilon thinks of himself as the leader of the Cybermen, using them to conquer Gallifrey, despite the Doctor saying they will betray him. [[spoiler:He's right, the Cybermen planning to recreate the universe in their own image.]]

* BeserkButton: When he thinks Gabby and Cindy have been killed by the Cybermen the 10th Doctor goes beserk, using the Cyberking warsuit he is in to brutally attack the other Cyberkings.

** In 2006 London, the Ninth Doctor, Captain Jack, and Rose are traveling by hovercar, rescuing Jackie Tyler from cyber-creatures in the ruins of their council estate, and headed to a mysterious tower where the TARDIS has been taken.

** [[spoiler:Despite the universe returning to its normal state the Twelfth Doctor remembers what happened.]]

* EnemyMine: The Sontarans force this on the Tenth Doctor by making them their new field marshal since he has more experience fighting the Cybermen, who have already destroyed the Rutan and most of the other Sontarans in the new timeline.

* ForegoneConclusion: ExpandedUniverse ''Doctor Who'' works, with the exception of certain Big Finish audio plays, cannot make substantial alterations/additions to the televised canon, so nothing that happens in this story as a result of Rassilon and the Cybermen's meddling will be able to stick. It doesn't help suspense that ''The Twelfth Doctor: Year Two'' comics released alongside this miniseries included the storyline "The Twist", in which he takes on a new, original companion who does not appear in ''Supremacy''. Combined with a ContinuityNod (see above) and the same writer (George Mann) on both stories, this story appears to be set before "The Twist". And Cybermen aren't decimating the universe in "The Twist", so...

* VillainTeamUp: The Cybermen and the disgraced Time Lord co-founder Rassilon, the tyrant who most recently subjected the Doctor to billions of years of ColdBloodedTorture in a confession dial just to learn the truth behind a vague prophecy that may have been [[SelfFulfillingProphecy self-fulfilling all along]]. They have turned him into one of them ala [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E12NightmareInSilver Eleven temporarily being turned into Mr. Clever]]. He is now their gleeful leader, using them to retake Gallifrey and launch a new ploy for the Time Lord conquest of the universe. But will the Cybermen bow their knees to Time Lords forever? The Twelfth Doctor thinks not...

* TheXOfY: In the great tradition of Cyberman stories throughout the franchise.

* RippleEffectProofMemory: '''None''' of the Doctors have memories of what happens to his previous selves in the Cybermen's new, highly contradictory timeline -- so far.

* TimeyWimeyBall: It's already clear in Part One and the prologues that the Cybermen's alterations to the history of the universe are not taking effect all at once, causing a bunch of paradoxes in the Doctor's timeline -- [[spoiler:the Second Doctor being cyber-converted]], Rose and Jack learning about the Cybermen while traveling with ''Nine'', not Ten, etc. The biggest paradox is that the '''Twelfth''' Doctor is the one who exiles Rassilon and allows the Cybermen to encounter him, which can't happen if any of his previous lives are cyber-converted or destroyed! Yet there's no RealityBreakingParadox in play as of Part Two, nor an explanation as to why there isn't. Since the Twelfth Doctor can't stop himself from exiling Rassilon in the first place, it will take something ''very'' timey-wimey to correct all of this.

* WritingForTheTrade: With FourLinesAllWaiting and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters compounded by a great deal of exposition as to what Rassilon and the Cybermen are doing, how they're doing it, and the effect it has on the established timelines, this five-part miniseries has little actual plot and CharacterDevelopment from issue to issue; the only real question is how Twelve finds and pushes a metaphorical ResetButton to undo the Cybermen's meddling. Plus, the Prologues featuring other characters only appear in solo titles and other miniseries. The biweekly release schedule should have compensated for the extremely slow pace, but then ScheduleSlip kicked in.

The second ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoTitan'' crossover miniseries, written by George Mann and Cavan Scott, is a five-issue story that launched July 6, 2016 (intended as a biweekly release, it suffered ScheduleSlip starting with Part Two). It's a 50th anniversary MilestoneCelebration for one of the franchise's most popular recurring villains, the Cybermen, who first appeared in the 1966 First Doctor serial "The Tenth Planet". The story is set within the "Year Two" continuity of the Tenth, Eleventh, and Twelfth Doctor Titan Comics titles, and incorporates the new Ninth Doctor title as well. (In addition, prologues published in other ''Comic/DoctorWhoTitan'' ongoing series details how it affects all Doctors from the Classic series.)

* EasilyConqueredWorld: Gallifrey apparently fell to the Rassilon-led Cybermen without much of a fight, if any. Justified because 1) Rassilon ''was'' the previous, much-feared ruler, 2) the only person gutsy and respected enough to successfully overthrow him turned out to be TheMentallyDisturbed (though he got better) and chose to run away shortly after his installation as the new Lord President, 3) the Cybermen are a mighty military force, and 4) less-than-noble Time Lords likely jumped at the chance to reclaim their former standing as a mighty, feared people after the Last Great Time War made them hated by most of the universe.

* {{Flashback}}: There's a quick flashback to the early scenes of "Hell Bent" in Part Two (the Doctor telling Rassilon "Get off my planet", the General warning that he may have no place to go), followed by Rassilon explaining what he did as soon as he was exiled, which set up the current story's events.

* WritingForTheTrade: With FourLinesAllWaiting and LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters compounded by a great deal of exposition as to what Rassilon and the Cybermen are doing, how they're doing it, and the effect it has on the established timelines, this five-part miniseries has little actual plot and CharacterDevelopment from issue to issue -- it's just a crash-and-bash action story where the only real question is how Twelve finds and pushes a metaphorical ResetButton to undo the Cybermen's meddling. Plus, the Prologues featuring other characters only appear in solo titles/other miniseries and are thus easily missed by those not regularly reading them. The biweekly release schedule should have compensated for the extremely slow pace, but then ScheduleSlip kicked in, resulting in a month-or-more waits between the first three issues.

* FaceRevealingTurn: For the Second Doctor prologue. [[spoiler:As he is giving his famous monologue from "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E6TheMoonbase The Moonbase]]", he reveals that he has been Cyber-converted, which is reminiscent of his appearance [[Recap/DoctorWhoS33E12NightmareInSilver twelve incantations later.]] Even worse, his famous line has been changed due to the Cybermens' meddling in the timeline. [[Main/NightmareFuel It manages to be genuinely terrifying.]]]]

** The Twelfth Doctor also demands "Take me to your leader" in Issue 2.7 of his solo title, which was released the week before Part One of this story was -- and is also written by George Mann. In fact, since in ''that'' story he asks "Now, how does it go again? Ah, that's right...Take me to your leader", this story probably takes place before that one!

** The bonus prologues that appear in the solo titles/miniseries reveal additional crises: In Issue 2.12 of ''The Tenth Doctor'', Susan Foreman heads home to Totter's Lane and sees that her grandfather, the First Doctor, has been captured by Cybermen. He tells her to run and save herself. ''The Fourth Doctor'' Issue 4 has two: the Eighth Doctor and Josie Day are captured by Cybermen, and they cannot access the TARDIS due to [[Recap/DoctorWhoS32E12ClosingTime Cybermats]] surrounding it, as well as the Fourth Doctor ordering K-9 to blast invading Cybermen all while he claims that there is something wrong ([[SkewedPriorities he is all out of jelly babies]]). Cue K-9 about to shoot the Doctor instead, [[FaceHeelTurn revealing that he has been Cyber-converted.]] From Issue 2.11 of ''The Eleventh Doctor'', the Sixth Doctor and Mel run after the Valeyard through the Matrix, only to find that it has been compromised, all while [[spoiler:the Second Doctor gets Cyber-converted [[Recap/DoctorWhoS4E6TheMoonbase while giving a monologue]]]]. The next issue of ''The Tenth Doctor'' details the Fifth Doctor and Peri landing on Skaro, only to find out that it is different, where a nearby Cyberman identifies the Doctor and orders to kill him. and the Seventh Doctor [[Recap/DoctorWhoS25E3SilverNemesis is ready to blow an entire Cyber-Fleet]], reminiscing that Ace would have loved this, only to be spotted by a Cyberman which responds with "[[SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay Professor?]]", revealing it to be a [[spoiler:fully Cyber-converted Ace.]] And finally, in ''The Twelfth Doctor'' 2.8, a knock-down fight between the Third Doctor and the Thirteenth Master is interrupted when the latter is helplessly transformed into a Cyberman and pleads for the Doctor's help. Meanwhile, the War Doctor uses the Moment not to end the Last Great Time War, but to defeat Cybermen -- possibly cyber-converted Time Lords -- who have tracked him down to the barn on Gallifrey.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: Part One alone has four Doctors, five companions, Jackie Tyler, the Cybermen, Ohila and the Sisterhood of Karn, the Sontarans, the Silurians, and Rassilon and the Time Lords. The prologues from different ''ComicBook/DoctorWhoTitan'' series adds all Classic Doctors, the Thirteenth Master, Susan Foreman, Polly Wright, K-9, Peri, Mel, Ace ([[spoiler:albeit as a fully converted Cyberman]]) and Josie Day. Part Two adds [[spoiler:the General]].

* RippleEffectProofMemory: None of the Doctors have memories of what happens to his previous selves in the Cybermen's new, highly contradictory timeline -- so far.

* RoboticReveal: After Ohila traps the Doctor on Gallifrey, it's revealed that this is because she has already been cyberconverted, with the shadow of a Cyberman falling across her face and her irises now a metallic gray. See also FaceRevealingTurn above.

* TimeyWimeyBall: It's already clear in Part One and the prologues that the Cybermen's alterations to the history of the universe are not taking effect all at once, causing a bunch of paradoxes in the Doctor's timeline -- [[spoiler:the Second Doctor being cyber-converted]], Rose and Jack learning about the Cybermen while traveling with ''Nine'', not Ten, etc. The biggest paradox is that the '''Twelfth''' Doctor is the one who exiles Rassilon and allows the Cybermen to encounter him, which can't happen if any of his previous lives are cyber-converted or destroyed!
