Cyberman


 * For the Cybermen of the classic series, see Mondasian Cyberman. For other meanings of Cyberman, see Cyberman.

"We are human-point-2. Every citizen will recieve a free upgrade. You will become like us."

- Cyberman

The Cybus Cybermen originated in another universe, where they were created by John Lumic, the owner of Cybus Industries. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen)

They believed that all people must be "Upgraded" to Cyber-form as they were weak. These Cybermen believed that emotions were proof that they destroyed the individual which was why they were converted to remove them. This concept they believed must be shared with others, from Humans to the universe itself.

Conversion involved removing the brain of the subject and placing it within a suit of armour. This process was horrific with screams often being heard by the victims that were forcibly subjected through the procedure. Once complete, the newly developed Cyberman had a special implant placed within their brains which prevented them from feeling their emotions or registering their past memories making them cold calculating machines. However, if the implants were disrupted then the Cybermen entered into a traumatic state as they were overloaded by the pain of the conversion resulting in them dying in agony or their heads exploding from the overload of emotions.

Typically, Cybermen were lead by Cyber Leaders during conversion missions. If the Cyber Leader was terminated then the Cybermen downloaded the shared files and nominated a new Cyber Leader.

History
"This broadcast is for humankind. Cybermen now occupy every landmass on this planet; but you need not fear. Cybermen will remove fear. Cybermen will remove sex, and class, and colour, and creed. You will become identical. You will become like us."

- Cyber Leader.

They crossed the void by following a void ship constructed by the Cult of Skaro. They then entered into a war with the Daleks, while simultaneously attempting to upgrade the population of the Earth. The Tenth Doctor, aided by Rose Tyler, was able to return and trap both the Cybermen and Dalek in the Void.

The Cybermen however had attempted to boost their numbers in the "Battle of Canary Wharf" by upgrading humans from our own universe, in a method similar to that used by the Mondasian Cybermen, wherein metallic parts were molded to a complete human body. (TW: Cyberwoman)


 * It can be assumed that some Cybermen remain inactive on Earth.

Weapons and Technology
"Delete! Delete!"

- The battle-cry of the Cybus Cybermen.

Unlike the Mondasian Cybermen, these Cybermen were created by taking the brain of humans and placing them in robotic bodies. These exo-structures were stauncher and more heavily built than Mondasian Cybermen, and so far the common Cyberman weakness for gold has not been confirmed for this particular breed of Cyberman. These new Cybermen were without a Cyber-Controller after their creator John Lumic was slain. Their only weapons were their electrified hands and a small wrist-mounted energy weapon. They were also programed with a computer chip that disabled them from having emotion or sense of feeling (though it can be shut down with the code 6879760), to prevent them realizing what they are.

When they crossed the Void and entered our world, they now had built-in lasers and were under the leadership of a Cyber-Leader. When one Cyber-Leader is slain, the Cybermen just download the rank into another and therefore always have a leader. (DW: Army of Ghosts/Doomsday)
