The Controller

The Controller refers to either Josh Istag or John Burridge when in their Godly form. In the original timeline, Burridge and Istag meet once again on the Golden Gate Bridge and they fight to the death. These events occur in the map Golden Gate, and it is determined by the player who survives in the outcome. When the earth is destroyed soon after, the survivor adopts the name 'The Controller', and re enters the CPS, however, he becomes unwillingly trapped inside. Over the course of the next few decades, he attempts to contact survivors of the now obliterated wasteland of earth, and soon stumbles across John Kingel, Terrance Bruce, Clarion Hampey and Al Burton, who assist him by sending power from a pylon in the Nether up to the CPS. Now with mass amounts of power, he exits the CPS and banishes the four to Agartha in another universe. In the alternate universe, Duge, Atkinson, Harley, and Kadoose send the power from a carrier ship to the Godly Four in Agartha, making them the Godly Four, also with mass amounts of power like the Controller. The Godly Four return to the original universe to fight the Controller in space. They find themselves evenly matched, but when Duge, Atkinson, Harley and Kadoose tamper with the Controller's secret lair, they drain his power, allowing the Godly Four to kill the controller. The Earth in the alternate universe is also destroyed, due to the controller's death in his lair, sprouting all his power out on Earth.

Wanting to prevent anymore Controller's which could come to be, the Godly Four hire a crew led by Joseph Perona to eliminate all incarnations of Burridge and Istag. Firstly, the crew travel back in time to 2013, and kill Burridge before he enters the CPS for the first time, preventing him form becoming the Controller. Istag is later killed by another John Kingel, who was drove insane.
