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 superhumanly strong, able to survive in hostile enviroments such as space, and armored enough to easily withstand bullets. In regards to aging, cybermen are effectively immortal. They typically wield head- or wrist-mounted energy weapons. Mondosian Cybermen have a notable vunerability to gold, which clogs their respiration units.
Earlier models of Cybermen made use of small robots for various tasks, these were known as Cybermats.
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.
