The New Avengers

A former double agent, driven by vengeance, targets Steed and begins mobilising a force of cybernauts. To further his plot, he engineers a technique that allows his mind to inhabit a robotic body. This strategy underpins his malicious plan.

The Last of the Cybernauts is a programme presented as a single episode. It falls squarely within the episode genre, offering a self‑contained story that forms part of a larger series framework. The title itself hints at a futuristic or technological element, setting the expectation for a plot that involves advanced machinery or cybernetic beings. The central narrative follows a former double agent who has turned his attention toward exacting vengeance on Steed. To achieve this, he assembles a contingent of cybernauts—mechanised operatives under his command—and engineers a method that allows him to transfer his consciousness into a robotic body. This body becomes the instrument through which he intends to carry out his malicious scheme, using the assembled cybernauts as both shield and force multiplier. The revenge‑driven antagonist’s plan is built on two key components: the mobilisation of the cybernaut force and the inhabitation of a robot chassis. By merging his mind with the machine, he hopes to bypass any human limitations and deliver his retributive agenda with precision. The episode therefore centres on the clash between the human hero, Steed, and a foe who has weaponised technology to further a personal vendetta, framing the conflict in terms of both physical confrontation and the ethical implications of a mind inhabiting metal.
