A powerful industrialist from a parallel Earth, head of the Cybus group of companies.
Lumic fell victim to a degenerative illness, confining him to a wheelchair. He became obsessed with preserving intelligence and experience beyond death, realising that only the brain was needed to further a person's existence. He began experimenting on creating artificial bodies into which the brain could be transplanted, carrying out the development work in third world countries with fewer legal protections and regulations.
Once a prototype had been perfected, he decided to return to his home in the United Kingdom to seek government approval for his ideas. The British President disapproved of his scheme, so he decided to proceed with his own plan to forcibly convert the population into cyborg beings which he called Cybermen. A number of homeless people had been abducted off the streets to begin the programme.
Knowing that the President was going to attend a party at the home of Pete and Jackie Tyler, he hacked into her ear-pod personal communication system to learn the security details, then sent a squad of Cybermen to the house. The President and most of the guests were killed, whilst others were taken away for forced conversion at Lumic's main factory at Battersea Power Station. He was able to carry out a similar hack of everyone's ear-pods to hypnotise the whole of London, so they would blindly comply with the Cybermen.
Lumic intended to allow himself to be converted when the time was right. His henchman Mr Crane rebelled against him, damaging his life support unit. The Cybermen took him away and turned him into their Controller. In this form he was destroyed when he fell into the exploding conversion factory.
