Master Control Program

==Summary==
The Master Control Program (or MCP) is the main antagonist in TRON. The MCP was a rogue computer program, created by Walter Gibbs and vastly improved by Ed Dillinger, that ruled over the world inside ENCOM's mainframe computer system. During the rule of the MCP, many programs were enslaved and pitted against the program's henchmen, led by Commander Sark.

Weaknesses: The MCP's single greatest physical weakness is his energy beam that extends up into the sky, appearing as the never-ending top of the MCP's head. Within this beam, the MCP has no defenses. A program that entered this beam would be able to distract and disorient the MCP, leaving it completely vulnerable to any attacks that might be mounted against it on the ground.
Note: Judging by the fact that Flynn was ultimately returned to the real world by being ejected up into the MCP's beam, it's highly likely that this beam functioned as the MCP's own private I/O Tower, the channel through which it performed all of its real world activities and communicated with Dillinger.
Derez (short for Deresolution) is a term used to describe someone or something disappearing or dissolving, essentially resulting in deletion. It is a program's equivalent of death or the destruction of a building or vehicle. The opposite of "derez" is Rez, a program's equivalent of birth, or loading/starting a program in the system.
