Regeneration backup
Regeneration energy was the energy a Time Lord produced as a product of regenerating. It was typically golden in appearance, (COMIC: The Forgotten, TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth, The End of Time, Day of the Moon, Let's Kill Hitler, The Night of the Doctor, The Day of the Doctor, The Time of the Doctor, Hell Bent, The Lie of the Land, World Enough and Time, The Doctor Falls) but it could occasionally be a bright white colour instead. (TV: Utopia)



The Tenth Doctor remarked that the energy was in excess for roughly 15 hours after regenerating, enabling him to restore his hand after it was chopped off. (TV: The Christmas Invasion) River Song was also able to survive being shot by a group of Nazi soldiers due to the excess energy. (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) It could also be harmlessly expelled through the mouth for a while after regenerating. (TV: The Christmas Invasion, The Eleventh Hour)

The energy itself was quite powerful, typically causing those nearby to back away, (TV: The Parting of the Ways, The Stolen Earth, Let's Kill Hitler, Day of the Moon) and once caused significant damage to the Tenth Doctor's TARDIS. (TV: The End of Time) It could also be used as a weapon, River using it to knock down several soldiers (TV: Let's Kill Hitler) and the Eleventh Doctor was able to destroy an entire Dalek fleet using said energy. (TV: The Time of the Doctor)



The energy was also capable of creating an entirely new individual based on the Time Lord who produced it. In one instance, the Tenth Doctor used up one of his cycle's regenerations while still keeping the same face by channelling it into his former hand which was sliced off by the leader of the Sycorax (TV: The Christmas Invasion), allowing himself to heal his body, yet avoid physical changes. This regeneration energy remained active and was accidentally interacted with by a human, Donna Noble, triggering a two-way human-Time Lord meta-crisis which caused the hand regenerate the missing body of its owner, creating a human-Time Lord copy of the Doctor and causing Donna gain the mind of a Time Lord. However, the presence of two minds inhabiting Donna at once nearly destroyed her and the Doctor was forced to block all memories of him from her consciousness to stop her Time Lord half from remaining active. (TV: Journey's End)

The energy could also be conjured for use without the need to regenerate. The Eleventh Doctor could also willingly expend some of his remaining regeneration energy to heal River's broken wrist. (TV: The Angels Take Manhattan) The Twelfth Doctor could willingly expend regeneration energy to restore Davros' eyesight (TV: The Witch's Familiar) and fake a regeneration. (TV: The Lie of the Land) His Shadow World counterpart also used a device to siphon energy from his own future to temporarily restore his eyesight. (TV: Extremis)

Hierarchy
John Lumic/Cyber Controller, due to being founder of Cybus Industries and creator of the Cybermen, led the Cybermen upon his conversion, even having a throne like chair. He was their highest authority, so much so those who were captured were brought straight to him, like the Tenth Doctor, Rose and Pete. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel)

Upon his death, a Cyber-Leader became the Cyber commander of the Cyber Army. The original had black handlebars on his headpiece though subsequent replacements did not have this. Cyber leaders had the power to call other lower ranked Cybermen for support during heavy conflicts and generally controlled all the other Cybermen. They also held talks with other species, proposing alliances and declaring war and/or surrender to them. (TV: Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)

After the Battle of Canary Wharf, a Cyber-Lord became the Cyber commander. They were a seemingly higher rank of Cyber Leader, there only noticeable difference being that their purpose was to prepare for the creation of the CyberKing and that their brain was visible through their black face plate. (TV: The Next Doctor)

The said CyberKing was the control unit of a Dreadnought ship, integrated into it, making it the CyberKing. They typically led the invasion and takeover of a planet, serving on the front lines, using their advanced weapons to lay waste to cities, and acted as a mass conversion unit. (TV: The Next Doctor)

Then there was the typical Cyberman, a standard fighting unit of the Cyber Army. They were subservient to all except those beneath them. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen et al.) Such lower ranks were the Cyberdogs the search and guard units of converted dogs (COMIC: Enemy Mine) and the Cybershades, primitive, beast-like worker unit, converted by using a brain of a dog or a cat. (TV: The Next Doctor)

There were also Cyberdrones, partially converted humans, worker units who were used for the slave labour. (COMIC: Enemy Mine)

Lisa Hallett was a partially converted human who was sustained by life support system under the Torchwood base in Cardiff. (TV: Cyberwoman)

Cyberslaves were humans converted by being infected with a nano-form. They could fire electricity from their hands and follow basic orders. If desired, a Cyber-leader could easily disable them. (GAME: Blood of the Cybermen)

The lowest rank were humans controlled at the brain which were often only kept until fulfilling their required purpose, then killed. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen / The Age of Steel, Army of Ghosts / Doomsday)
