John Burridge

Original Timeline
John Burridge assisted Josh Istag with his plan to get control of the zombies during July 2013. Then after Istag attacked his dog Fluffo, he used liquid Brash 5 to mutate himself into a ghast and use Istag's rocket to transport himself and Fluffo to the moon in revenge. On the moon, Burridge and Fluffo then enter the Control Point System (CPS). Burridge can be killed in Control Point, but if he is then Fluffo revives him later on, and sends him and Istag to the Golden gate to duel. It is determined by the player who wins this battle, (and several battles can be carried out if wished, but canonly, only one occurs). If Burridge dies, Istag enters the CPS and becomes trapped. If Istag dies, Buridge enters the CPS but becomes trapped. Regardless of who enters the CPS, he adopts the name 'The Controller'. Decades later,  Kingel, Bruce, Hampey and Burton release him, granting him ultimate power, which they believe he'll use for good, but decides to betray them and leave the CPS to roam the universe. The Controller banishes Kingel, Bruce, Hampey and Burton to an alternate universe where different events unfold, and where different versions of the Teacher crew free them from Agartha, which grants them ultimate power also. Kingel, Bruce, Hampey and Burton, now with ultimate power, travel back to the original universe and fight the Controller. The heroes stop the Controller's power source and switch it over to them, making them stronger than him. Then the Controller is sent to his own control room and the miners are sent to the first universe mars. Then the controller is killed, but all his power ejects over the world destroying it like the first universe earth.
