The Cybermen are a race of cyborgs from the Doctor Who universe.

Attributes

Cybermen consist of an organic brain held inside a mechanical humanoid body. Several forms of Cybermen have been observed. Their metallic bodies are considerably stronger than human beings, able to survive in hostile enviroments such as space, and armored enough to easily withstand bullets. They typically wield head- or wrist-mounted energy weapons. Cybermen have a notable vunerability to gold, which clogs their respiration units.

To reproduce, Cybermen capture and forcibly convert humanoid sapients into additional Cybermen.

History

The Cybermen have their origins on the Planet Mondas. Due to the decay of the Mondosian climate, the Cybermen resorted to cybernetic enhancement in an attempt to survive.

In a parallel universe, the remains of Mondosian Cybermen were reverse-engineered by John Lumic to create a new race of Cybermen.

Organization

Unlike the Borg, Cybermen are not ruled by a collective hive mind. Instead, certain Cybermen assume command and control roles; these are known as Cyber-controllers.
