The Cybermen are a species of space-faring cyborgs who often forcefully and painfully convert human beings (or other similar species) into more Cybermen in order to populate their ranks while also removing their emotions and personalities. They were conceived by writer <a href="/wiki/Kit_Pedler" title="Kit Pedler">Kit Pedler</a> (who was also the unofficial scientific advisor to the series) and story editor <a href="/wiki/Gerry_Davis_(screenwriter)" title="Gerry Davis (screenwriter)">Gerry Davis</a>, and first appeared in the 1966 <i>Doctor Who</i> serial <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tenth_Planet" title="The Tenth Planet">The Tenth Planet</a></i>. </p><p>The Cybermen have seen many redesigns and costume changes over <i>Doctor Who</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s long run, as well as a number of varying <a href="/wiki/Origin_story" title="Origin story">origin stories</a>. In their first appearance, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tenth_Planet" title="The Tenth Planet">The Tenth Planet</a></i> (1966), they are humans from Earth's nearly identical "twin planet" of Mondas who upgraded themselves into cyborgs in a bid for self-preservation. Forty years later, the two-part story, "<a href="/wiki/Rise_of_the_Cybermen" title="Rise of the Cybermen">Rise of the Cybermen</a>" and "<a href="/wiki/The_Age_of_Steel" title="The Age of Steel">The Age of Steel</a>" (2006), depicted Cybermen invented again in a <a href="/wiki/Parallel_universe_(fiction)" class="mw-redirect" title="Parallel universe (fiction)">parallel universe</a> London as a business corporation's attempt at <a href="/wiki/Posthuman" title="Posthuman">upgrading humanity</a>. <i>Doctor Who</i> audio dramas, novels, and comic books have also elaborated on existing origin stories or presented alternatives. The 2017 episode, "<a href="/wiki/The_Doctor_Falls" title="The Doctor Falls">The Doctor Falls</a>", explains the different origins as <a href="/wiki/Parallel_evolution" title="Parallel evolution">parallel evolution</a>, due to the inevitability of humans and human-like species upgrading themselves through technology; this perspective resolves continuity differences in the Cybermen's history. </p><p>A mainstay of <i>Doctor Who</i> since the 1960s, the Cybermen have also appeared in related programmes and spin-off media, including novels, audiobooks, comic books, and video games. Cybermen stories were produced in officially licensed <i>Doctor Who</i> products between 1989 and 2005, when the TV show was off the air, with writers either filling historical gaps or depicting new encounters between them and the Doctor. The species also appeared in the <i>Doctor Who</i> TV spin-off, <i><a href="/wiki/Torchwood" title="Torchwood">Torchwood</a></i>, appearing in the fourth episode, "<a href="/wiki/Cyberwoman" title="Cyberwoman">Cyberwoman</a>" (2006). </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Creation">Creation</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Creation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-More_citations_needed_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Cyberman" title="Special:EditPage/Cyberman">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

This story explains how, millions of years ago, Earth had a twin planet known as Mondas that was knocked out of solar orbit and <a href="/wiki/Rogue_planet" title="Rogue planet">drifted into deep space</a>. The Mondasians, already far in advance of Earth's technology and fearful for their race's survival,<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> replaced most of their bodies with cybernetic parts. Having eventually removed all emotion from their brains (to maintain their sanity), the natives installed a drive propulsion system to pilot the planet itself through space. As the original race was limited in numbers and were continually being depleted, the Mondasians – now Cybermen – became a race of conquerors who reproduced by forcibly changing other organic beings into Cybermen. The <a href="/wiki/First_Doctor" title="First Doctor">First Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/William_Hartnell" title="William Hartnell">William Hartnell</a>) opposes these Cybermen when they attempt to drain the Earth's energy to make way for Mondas' return to the solar system; in this encounter, Mondas absorbs too much energy from Earth, destroying it and all Cybermen on Earth. The adventure takes its physical toll on the Doctor, forcing him to <a href="/wiki/Regeneration_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Regeneration (Doctor Who)">regenerate</a> for the first time, becoming the <a href="/wiki/Second_Doctor" title="Second Doctor">Second Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Patrick_Troughton" title="Patrick Troughton">Patrick Troughton</a>). </p><p>The Cybermen next appeared later in the same television season in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Moonbase" title="The Moonbase">The Moonbase</a></i> (1967) opposite the Second Doctor. In 2070, the Cybermen attempt to remotely destroy the Earth by affecting its weather patterns with a device called the Gravitron. However, the Gravitron is used against them, hurling them into space. In the following season, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tomb_of_the_Cybermen" title="The Tomb of the Cybermen">The Tomb of the Cybermen</a></i> saw a 25th Century human expedition discover sarcophagi containing hibernating Cybermen on the planet Telos, where the creatures arise and attack. This episode introduced the cybermats, small mechanical scouts used by the Cybermen, as well as the Cyber Controller. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Wheel_in_Space" title="The Wheel in Space">The Wheel in Space</a></i> (1968), the Doctor and his crew face off against the Cybermen on a marooned Earth space station in the 21st century. This episode introduces the Cyber-Planner, an immobile unit which directs the Cybermen. The Cybermen plan to take over the space station, after which their fleet will invade Earth. The Doctor uses an x-ray laser to destroy the Cybermen. In the next season, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Invasion_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Invasion (Doctor Who)">The Invasion</a></i> has the Doctor and his companions visit late 20th century England, where he discovers an army of Cybermen are hidden on Earth and working with magnate Tobias Vaughn (<a href="/wiki/Kevin_Stoney" title="Kevin Stoney">Kevin Stoney</a>) to invade Earth. Their invasion is defeated by the Doctor and the military support of the newly formed <a href="/wiki/UNIT" title="UNIT">United Nations Intelligence Taskforce</a>. </p><p>The Cybermen did not face the <a href="/wiki/Third_Doctor" title="Third Doctor">Third Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Jon_Pertwee" title="Jon Pertwee">Jon Pertwee</a>) during his era, but one is shown as part of an exhibit in <i><a href="/wiki/Carnival_of_Monsters" title="Carnival of Monsters">Carnival of Monsters</a></i> (1973). The Third Doctor would however face Cybermen in the 20th anniversary special "<a href="/wiki/The_Five_Doctors" title="The Five Doctors">The Five Doctors</a>" (1983). </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Fourth_Doctor" title="Fourth Doctor">Fourth Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Tom_Baker" title="Tom Baker">Tom Baker</a>) is next to encounter a group of Cybermen in <i><a href="/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Cybermen" title="Revenge of the Cybermen">Revenge of the Cybermen</a></i> (1975). These Cybermen are depicted as the wandering remnants of a fallen empire, ravaged by the so-called Cyber-Wars against victorious humanity, which had exploited the Cybermen's weakness to gold. These Cybermen attempt to restore the glory of their race by destroying the gold-rich asteroid Voga. </p><p>Cybermen were not seen again until <i><a href="/wiki/Earthshock" title="Earthshock">Earthshock</a></i> (1982), in which the <a href="/wiki/Fifth_Doctor" title="Fifth Doctor">Fifth Doctor</a> (<a href="/wiki/Peter_Davison" title="Peter Davison">Peter Davison</a>) encounters Cybermen in Earth in the year 2526. The Cybermen plan to destroy the planet with a large bomb while alien dignitaries visit Earth to discuss the ongoing Cyber-Wars. After the Doctor foils this plan, they decide to crash their freighter into the planet to achieve the same result. The freighter is hurled back in time, however, and the Doctor's companion, boy genius <a href="/wiki/Adric" title="Adric">Adric</a> (<a href="/wiki/Matthew_Waterhouse" title="Matthew Waterhouse">Matthew Waterhouse</a>), is trapped on board as the freighter crashes into prehistoric Earth, killing Adric and triggering the <a href="/wiki/Cretaceous%E2%80%93Paleogene_extinction_event" title="Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event">K-T extinction event</a>. The Cybermen appear once more in the Fifth Doctor's era, alongside the four previous Doctors, in "<a href="/wiki/The_Five_Doctors" title="The Five Doctors">The Five Doctors</a>" (1983), when they are transported to the Doctor's home planet of <a href="/wiki/Gallifrey" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallifrey">Gallifrey</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Time_Lord" title="Time Lord">Time Lord</a> President <a href="/wiki/Borusa" class="mw-redirect" title="Borusa">Borusa</a> (<a href="/wiki/Philip_Latham" title="Philip Latham">Philip Latham</a>). </p><p><i><a href="/wiki/Attack_of_the_Cybermen" title="Attack of the Cybermen">Attack of the Cybermen</a></i> (1985) is set after <i>Tomb</i>. The Cybermen attempt to use a time machine to avert the destruction of Mondas by causing <a href="/wiki/Halley%27s_Comet" title="Halley's Comet">Halley's Comet</a> to crash into the Earth.

They retain living <a href="/wiki/Human_brain" title="Human brain">human brains</a>. In their first appearance in the series, the only parts of their bodies that still seemed human were their hands; by their next appearance in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Moonbase" title="The Moonbase">The Moonbase</a></i> (1967), their bodies were entirely covered in their metallic suits, with their hands replaced by three finger claws, but they changed back to regular five-fingered hands in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Invasion_(Doctor_Who)" title="The Invasion (Doctor Who)">The Invasion</a></i> (1968). As they are relatively few, the Cybermen tend towards covert activity, scheming from hiding and using human pawns or <a href="/wiki/Robot" title="Robot">robots</a> to act in their place until they need to appear. They also seek to increase their numbers by converting others into Cybermen (a process known as "cyber-conversion" or "Cybernisation" in the older episodes and "upgrading" in the newer episodes), an often painful process as body parts are removed and replaced with cybernetic replacements. </p><p>It is implied that there are still organic components beneath their suits, meaning they are <a href="/wiki/Cyborg" title="Cyborg">cyborgs</a>, not robots: in <i>The Tenth Planet</i>, a Cyberman tells a group of humans that "our brains are just like yours", although by the time of <i><a href="/wiki/Attack_of_the_Cybermen" title="Attack of the Cybermen">Attack of the Cybermen</a></i> (1985), their brains seem to have been replaced with electronics. Also in this story, two human slave-prisoners of the Cybermen on the planet Telos, named Bates and Stratton, reveal that their organic arms and legs have been removed by the Cybermen and replaced by cyber-substitutes. In <i><a href="/wiki/Earthshock" title="Earthshock">Earthshock</a></i> (1982), the actors' chins were vaguely visible through a clear <a href="/wiki/Perspex" class="mw-redirect" title="Perspex">perspex</a> area on the helmet to suggest some kind of organic matter. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tomb_of_the_Cybermen" title="The Tomb of the Cybermen">The Tomb of the Cybermen</a></i> (1967), veins and brains were visible through the domed head of the Cyber-Controller, and similarly, in <i><a href="/wiki/Attack_of_the_Cybermen" title="Attack of the Cybermen">Attack of the Cybermen</a></i> (1985) and "<a href="/wiki/The_Age_of_Steel" title="The Age of Steel">The Age of Steel</a>" (2006), the Cyber-Controller's brain is visible through the dome. The first is a Mondas Cyber Controller, and the second involves alternative Earth's John Lumic. However, in <i><a href="/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Cybermen" title="Revenge of the Cybermen">Revenge of the Cybermen</a></i> (1975), the Doctor says they are "total machine creatures". </p><p>The audio play <i><a href="/wiki/Real_Time_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Real Time (Doctor Who)">Real Time</a></i> implies that the converted victim's face remains beneath the Cyberman faceplate, although the audio plays, like all non-televised spin-off media, are of uncertain <a href="/wiki/Whoniverse" title="Whoniverse">canonicity</a> with regard to the television series. In the 2014's "<a href="/wiki/Death_in_Heaven" title="Death in Heaven">Death in Heaven</a>", <a href="/wiki/Danny_Pink" title="Danny Pink">Danny Pink</a> removes the faceplate showing his face underneath. The <i><a href="/wiki/Virgin_New_Adventures" title="Virgin New Adventures">Virgin New Adventures</a></i> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Iceberg_(Banks_novel)" title="Iceberg (Banks novel)">Iceberg</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/David_Banks_(actor)" title="David Banks (actor)">David Banks</a> states that some Cybermen experience rare flashes of emotional memory from the time before they were converted; these flashes are then usually suppressed. The Cybermen in the revived series are usually constructed from human brains bonded to a Cyberman exoskeletal shell with an artificially-grown nervous system threaded throughout ("The Age of Steel"), although direct grafting of cyber-components is another method of conversion ("<a href="/wiki/Cyberwoman" title="Cyberwoman">Cyberwoman</a>"). In "<a href="/wiki/The_Pandorica_Opens" title="The Pandorica Opens">The Pandorica Opens</a>", a Cyberman head is shown to open up, revealing an entire human skull, not just the brain. </p><p>Although the Cybermen often claim that they have done away with human emotion, they have exhibited emotions ranging from anger to smug satisfaction in their confrontations with the Doctor. Some Cybermen in the early stories were even given individual names such as "Krang" (however these names only appeared in the cast listings for "<a href="/wiki/The_Tenth_Planet" title="The Tenth Planet">The Tenth Planet</a>" and were not spoken on-screen). Some parallel Earth Cybermen did retain some memories of their pre-conversion lives, although their emotional response varied. In "Cyberwoman", the partial conversion led to a degree of insanity in <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_minor_characters#Lisa_Hallett" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Torchwood minor characters">Lisa Hallett</a>, which was retained even after she transferred her brain into a fully human body. In "<a href="/wiki/Doomsday_(Doctor_Who)" title="Doomsday (Doctor Who)">Doomsday</a>", Yvonne Hartman retains at least some elements of her personality (including her voice being heard over the usual Cyberman voice) to prevent the advance of a group of other Cybermen, and is last seen weeping what appears to be either an oil-like substance or blood. In the same episode, the Cyber-Leader expresses clear frustration at the humans' refusal to surrender, although in a later scene he criticises the Doctor for showing emotion. In "<a href="/wiki/The_Age_of_Steel" title="The Age of Steel">The Age of Steel</a>", the Doctor defeats the Cybermen by shutting down their emotional inhibitors, enabling them to "see" what had become of them. Their realisation of what they had become led them to either simply shut down out of sheer horror, or partially explode. Lastly, when the first Cyber Leader is killed, his head explodes with some white liquid leaking down his body; there are references in that episode to a patented Cybus Industries mixture of chemicals used to preserve the brain. In "Death in Heaven", Danny Pink also retains some of his personality traits, including shock at seeing his reflection and what he's become, but also his love for <a href="/wiki/Clara_Oswald" title="Clara Oswald">Clara Oswald</a>. The Doctor turns it on to gain intelligence and reveal that the Cybermen have developed a way to cyber-convert dead human remains. Only then does the Doctor exploit Danny's keeping of his personality traits, even under the inhibitor, to command the Cyber-Army. In "<a href="/wiki/The_Doctor_Falls" title="The Doctor Falls">The Doctor Falls</a>", the Doctor's companion Bill retains her complete sense of self and identity, even to the point of not initially seeing herself as a Cyberman, as a result of her experiences resisting <a href="/wiki/Brainwashing" title="Brainwashing">mind control</a> and telepathic suggestions in a <a href="/wiki/The_Lie_of_the_Land" title="The Lie of the Land">past adventure</a>. However, Cyberman program does manifest in her bursts of anger and she says her mind cannot hold on forever. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Virgin_Missing_Adventures" title="Virgin Missing Adventures">Virgin Missing Adventures</a> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Killing_Ground_(novel)" title="Killing Ground (novel)">Killing Ground</a></i>, by <a href="/wiki/Steve_Lyons_(writer)" title="Steve Lyons (writer)">Steve Lyons</a> suggests that some Cybermen imitate emotions to intimidate and unnerve their victims. The Big Finish Productions audio play <i>Spare Parts</i> (set on Mondas in the early days of Cyber-conversion) suggests that the Cybermen deliberately remove their emotions as part of the conversion process to stifle the physical and emotional trauma of becoming a Cyberman. </p><p>This motive behind the removal of emotions is made more explicit in "The Age of Steel", where it is done by an emotional inhibitor. In that episode, deactivating their emotional inhibitors causes the converted Cybermen to realise what they have become, driving them insane and killing them. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Weaknesses">Weaknesses</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit&section=12" title="Edit section: Weaknesses"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444" /><table class="box-More_citations_needed_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/Cyberman" title="Special:EditPage/Cyberman">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

The most notable weakness of the original Cybermen is the element <a href="/wiki/Gold" title="Gold">gold</a>. Their aversion to gold was not mentioned until they try to destroy the planetoid Voga (the so-called "Planet of Gold") in <i><a href="/wiki/Revenge_of_the_Cybermen" title="Revenge of the Cybermen">Revenge of the Cybermen</a></i> (1975). Initially, it was explained that, due to its non-corrodible nature, gold essentially <a href="/wiki/Asphyxiation" class="mw-redirect" title="Asphyxiation">chokes</a> their <a href="/wiki/Respiratory_system" title="Respiratory system">respiratory systems</a>. For example, the glittergun<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Template:Typo_help_inline" title="Template:Typo help inline"><span title="Should this be a compound word or two separate words? If correct, please put word in template for spell checking reasons. (February 2024)">check spelling</span></a></i>]</sup>, a weapon used during the Cyber-Wars in the future, fired gold dust at its targets. However, in later serials, gold appeared to affect them rather as silver affects <a href="/wiki/Werewolf" title="Werewolf">werewolves</a>, with gold coins or gold-tipped <a href="/wiki/Cartridge_(firearms)" title="Cartridge (firearms)">bullets</a> fired at them having the same effect. The revived series's Cybermen have no such weakness, though the tie-in website for the episode mentions it.<sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cybermen are also efficiently killed when shot with their own guns, or by a <a href="/wiki/Daleks" class="mw-redirect" title="Daleks">Dalek</a>. Other weaknesses from early stories include <a href="/wiki/Solvent" title="Solvent">solvents</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gravity" title="Gravity">gravity</a> based technology, and excessive levels of <a href="/wiki/Radioactive_contamination" title="Radioactive contamination">radiation</a>. In "The Age of Steel", an <a href="/wiki/Electromagnetic_pulse" title="Electromagnetic pulse">EMP</a> grenade is shown to disable a Cyberman and shut down its emotional inhibitor. The vulnerability to gold is clearly not present in some early Cyberman types, for example the type seen in the 1968 serial <i>The Invasion</i> were unlikely to possess it, or perhaps more likely the weakness is not known, otherwise the Doctor/UNIT would simply have used it and not needed the elaborate plan involving the assistance of a <a href="/wiki/Russia" title="Russia">Russian</a> missile base and the Cybermen's puppet ally, Tobias Vaughn. In "Nightmare in Silver", the Doctor uses gold to slow down though not destroy some circuitry of technologically advanced Cybermen in the distant future. It is unclear precisely how many of the different types, and which types, of Cyberman are vulnerable to gold. </p><p>Their armour is often depicted as flexible and resistant to bullets, but can be penetrated by gold arrows and projectiles made of gold. The Cybus Cybermen are bullet-proof and are very resilient, but are not indestructible – they are vulnerable to high explosives, electromagnetic pulses, specialised weaponry and <a href="/wiki/Dalek" title="Dalek">Dalek</a> energy weapons. </p><p>In "<a href="/wiki/The_Power_of_the_Doctor" title="The Power of the Doctor">The Power of the Doctor</a>" (2022), <a href="/wiki/Tegan_Jovanka" title="Tegan Jovanka">Tegan Jovanka</a> and <a href="/wiki/Ace_(Doctor_Who)" title="Ace (Doctor Who)">Ace</a> fire gold bullets at a group of Cybermen only to be told that they have evolved beyond weakness to gold. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Costumes">Costumes</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Costumes"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1251242444" /><table class="box-Fiction plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-fiction" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/40px-Ambox_important.svg.png" decoding="async" width="40" height="40" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/60px-Ambox_important.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/b/b4/Ambox_important.svg/80px-Ambox_important.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="40" data-file-height="40" /></span></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section may need <b>clearer distinction</b> between <b>fact and fiction</b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please review the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Writing_about_fiction" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Writing about fiction">Manual of Style</a> and help <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit">improve this article</a>.</span> <span class="date-container"><i>(<span class="date">April 2017</span>)</i></span><span class="hide-when-compact"><i> (<small><a href="/wiki/Help:Maintenance_template_removal" title="Help:Maintenance template removal">Learn how and when to remove this message</a></small>)</i></span></div></td></tr></tbody></table> <p>For <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tenth_Planet_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="The Tenth Planet (Doctor Who)">The Tenth Planet</a></i>, the original Cyberman costumes, including the "handle" shapes on their heads, were designed by <a href="/wiki/Sandra_Reid" class="mw-redirect" title="Sandra Reid">Sandra Reid</a>. The masks and one-piece bodystockings were made from <a href="/wiki/Jersey_(clothing)" class="mw-redirect" title="Jersey (clothing)">jersey</a> fabric, with holes trimmed with vinyl where the Cybermen "eyes" and "mouths" were; the actors' features were darkened to hide their faces. The fabric of the costumes were coloured a faint blue so they could show up on black and white television cameras. Over the top of the stockings, the Cybermen wore polythene suits ribbed with metal wings, along with epaulettes made of metal, and plastic piping. Their boots were short <a href="/wiki/Wellington_boot" title="Wellington boot">Wellington boots</a>, painted silver. In a 2016 interview, Reid, by then going by the name Alexandra Tynan, described the motivation behind her designs was "I had a planning meeting that I had to be at, and I had to have a design drawing with me. My motivation was the clock on the wall!" Although the script specified the Cybermen should keep their human hands, Reid wanted them to wear gloves. However, Reid mistakenly forgot she said she would make special gloves for the Cybermen until the first day in the studio. Instead, make-up designer Gillian James hastily added silver paint to the actors' human hands.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The chest units and "handles" were built by Shawcraft of Uxbridge. The handles were adapted from lorry headlamps, while the chest units used a lot of clear plastic and had battery-powered flashing mechanisms. The handles were intended as the housing for wires that lit up the lamps, but in a test shot the bulb exploded and the idea was dropped.

Sandra Reid designed new costumes for this serial. These were based on a one-piece silver jumpsuit made from vinyl fabric, and the Cybermen were given gloves with three-fingered hands. Their boots were lace-up army boots painted silver. Fibreglass helmets and chest units made from aluminium were built by freelance prop makers Jack and John Lovell. Silver tape was added around the eye and mouth area for emphasis, and on Reid's instruction, the Lovells attached "hydraulic joints" consisting of tubing from a vacuum cleaner manufacturer and plastic practice golf balls.

Junction boxes, linked by steel rods, were used at the joints and near the neck to give the impression of something more technological and functional than was seen in <i>The Moonbase</i> and <i>The Tomb of the Cybermen</i>. The same chest units from before were used, with the lamp at the bottom of the unit. New helmets were cast with simpler handles that extended out further from the head. These introduced a "teardrop" shape to the Cybermen's eyes. An unmodified <i>The Tomb of the Cybermen</i> suit was also used to swell the Cybermen's numbers during the spacewalk scene, and was positioned at the back to hide the difference from the other two costumes.<sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Mid-production, the suits were redesigned again for the more extensive recordings of <i>The Wheel in Space</i> in the studio. Baugh's solution was to spray-paint two padded wet suits to make them look bulkier, with the helmets, junction boxes and rods from the filmed inserts modified or removed to make the actors move more freely. The hands from the earlier <i>Wheel in Space</i> costumes were cut off and used as gloves for the new costumes.

In their first appearance, the effect of this was augmented by having a Cyberman abruptly open his mouth wide and keep it open, without moving his tongue or lips, while the separately recorded voice would be playing, and then shut it quickly when the line was finished. Although the cloth-like masks of the first Cybermen were soon replaced by a full helmet, a similar physical effect involving the mouth "hatch" opening and then shutting when the line was finished was used until <i><a href="/wiki/The_Wheel_in_Space" title="The Wheel in Space">The Wheel in Space</a></i> (1968). </p><p>Later, the production team used <a href="/wiki/Special_effect" title="Special effect">special effects</a> from its <a href="/wiki/BBC_Radiophonic_Workshop" title="BBC Radiophonic Workshop">Radiophonic Workshop</a> by adding first a <a href="/wiki/Mechanical_larynx" class="mw-redirect" title="Mechanical larynx">mechanical larynx</a> used by <a href="/wiki/Peter_Hawkins" title="Peter Hawkins">Peter Hawkins</a>,<sup id="cite_ref-35" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-35"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>35<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> then a <a href="/wiki/Vocoder" title="Vocoder">vocoder</a>, to modify speech to make it sound more artificial. In later stories of the original series and in the audio plays, two copies of the voice track were sampled and pitch-shifted downwards by differing amounts and layered to produce the effect, sometimes with the addition of a small amount of <a href="/wiki/Flanging" title="Flanging">flanging</a>. From <i>Revenge of the Cybermen</i> to <i><a href="/wiki/Silver_Nemesis" title="Silver Nemesis">Silver Nemesis</a></i> (1988) the actors provided the voices themselves, using microphones and transmitters in the chest units. </p><p>The voices for the 2006 return of the Cybermen are similar to the buzzing electronic monotone voices of the Cybermen used in <i>The Invasion</i>. They were provided by <a href="/wiki/Nicholas_Briggs" title="Nicholas Briggs">Nicholas Briggs</a>. As shown in the second series of <i><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Who_Confidential" title="Doctor Who Confidential">Doctor Who Confidential</a></i>, the timbre was created by processing Briggs' voice through a Moog <a href="/wiki/Moogerfooger" title="Moogerfooger">moogerfooger</a> ring modulator. Unusually, in "The Age of Steel", the Cyber-Controller (John Lumic, played by <a href="/wiki/Roger_Lloyd-Pack" title="Roger Lloyd-Pack">Roger Lloyd-Pack</a>) retains his voice after being upgraded, but it is still electronic. In "Doomsday", a Cyberman which contains the brain of <a href="/wiki/Torchwood_Institute" title="Torchwood Institute">Torchwood Institute</a> director Yvonne Hartman retains a female-sounding though still electronic voice, as does the partially converted <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_minor_characters#Lisa_Hallett" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Torchwood minor characters">Lisa Hallett</a> in "Cyberwoman" when her Cyberman personality is dominant. In an effect reminiscent of the earliest Cybermen's mouths snapping open while speaking, the new Cybermen have a blue light in their "mouths" (or "teeth") which illuminates in synchronisation with their speech. </p><p>Since "The Next Doctor" in 2008, the Cybermen have had nasally-sounding electronic voices; this continued all the way until "Closing Time" in 2011. Between the 2013 episode "Nightmare in Silver" and 2017 episode "The Doctor Falls", the Cybermen (continuing to be voiced by Briggs) now have deep, almost growl-like voices. Their mouths retain a blue light-up effect but flicker luminously instead of staying lit as opposed to the 2006 design. </p><p>The Patients in "World Enough and Time" (Pre Mondasian Cybermen) communicated through speech synthesis keyboards, similar to those used in hospitals for people unable to talk normally or use their vocal cords. These voices were disturbing in that they almost 'replicated' actual human speech, but with stilted delivery </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Variants">Variants</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Variants"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Some Cybermen are given titles, being credited as "Cyber Leader" (or variants thereof), "Cyber Lieutenant", "Cyber Scout" or the "Cyber Controller".

In the same story a "Cyber-King" appears; according to the Doctor, it is a "<a href="/wiki/Dreadnought" title="Dreadnought">Dreadnought</a>-class" ship for use in invasions resembling a Cyberman hundreds of feet tall, and contains a Cyber-factory in its chest. It is controlled from within its mouth. Its right arm can be converted into a cannon, and its left into a laser. "<a href="/wiki/The_Time_of_the_Doctor" title="The Time of the Doctor">The Time of the Doctor</a>" introduced a unique prototype Cyberman that was made of wood to avoid detection by the <a href="/wiki/The_Time_of_the_Doctor#Plot" title="The Time of the Doctor">Church of the Papal Mainframe</a> and equipped with blowtorches. </p><p>After Bill Potts is wounded on the bridge of a Mondasian colony ship, and taken down the ship's lifts to be surgically repaired, she encounters half converted Mondasians referred to only as 'The Patients'. They wore grey surgical robes and their faces were entirely covered with cloth bags, save for a nasal canula that administered fluids and all were hooked up to IV drips. Most remained stationary; reliant on wheelchairs in the "out ward" while some walked the hospital grounds; being prepped for additional surgery and rounding up humans in the city and leading them to the hospital. During the early stages of these experiments (a precursor to cyber-conversion), The Patients were shown to feel the pain caused by this process, with some even begging for death, twisting in their chairs and jabbing at their speech keyboards. They were capable of attacking, following commands (such as restraining Bill) and possessed great strength. They could be incapacitated, though not killed by gunfire. </p><p>In "<a href="/wiki/Ascension_of_the_Cybermen" title="Ascension of the Cybermen">Ascension of the Cybermen</a>" (2020), Cyber Warriors are introduced who are a "Warrior Class" of Cyberman. Their armour is specifically designed in a medieval way, giving the appearance of a medieval warrior. The chest is that of a 2013 Cyberman but with less detail, while their helmets bear a resemblance to the Cybermen from <i>The Invasion</i>. They also have small energy cannons on their wrists. In the following episode "<a href="/wiki/The_Timeless_Children" title="The Timeless Children">The Timeless Children</a>", the Master creates the "Cyber Masters", a new breed created from Cyberium and Time Lord corpses. These Cybermen, while resembling the Cyber-Warriors, have Time Lord apparel built into their armour, such as their headdresses. These Cybermen were loyal to the Master, and had the ability to regenerate, making them a potentially unstoppable threat. They also appeared in "<a href="/wiki/The_Power_of_the_Doctor" title="The Power of the Doctor">The Power of the Doctor</a>" with updated designs. </p> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style"

When originally seen in <i>The Tenth Planet</i>, they had large energy weapons that attached to their chests. In <i>The Moonbase</i>, the Cybermen had two types of weaponry: an electrical discharge from their hands, which stunned the target, and a type of gun. They also made use of a large laser cannon with which they attempted to attack the base itself. </p><p>The hand discharge was also present in <i>The Tomb of the Cybermen</i>, which featured a smaller, hand-held Cyber-weapon shaped like a <a href="/wiki/Pistol" title="Pistol">pistol</a> that was described as an <a href="/wiki/X-ray" title="X-ray">X-ray</a> <a href="/wiki/Laser" title="Laser">laser</a>. In <i>The Wheel in Space</i>, the Cybermen could use the discharge to also operate machinery, and had <a href="/wiki/Raygun" title="Raygun">death rays</a> built into their chest units. They displayed the same units in <i>The Invasion</i> as well as carrying large rifles for medium distance combat. In <i>Revenge of the Cybermen</i> and the audio play <i>Real Time</i>, their weapons were built into their helmets. <i>Killing Ground</i> indicates that this type of Cybermen also have more powerful hand weapons. Subsequent appearances have shown them armed almost exclusively with hand-held gun-style weapons. </p><p>The Cybermen have access to <a href="/wiki/Weapons_of_mass_destruction" class="mw-redirect" title="Weapons of mass destruction">weapons of mass destruction</a> known as cobalt bombs, also sometimes as Cyber-bombs, which were banned by the galactic Armageddon Convention (<i>Revenge of the Cybermen</i>).

In <i>Earthshock</i>, the Cybermen also used android drones as part of their plans to invade Earth. </p><p>The revived programme Cybermen <a href="/wiki/Electric_shock" class="mw-redirect" title="Electric shock">electrocute</a> their victims by touching them and at first carried no other weaponry. In "Army of Ghosts" and "Doomsday", the Cybermen are equipped with retractable energy weapons housed within their forearms (these were actually first shown in "<a href="/wiki/The_Age_of_Steel" title="The Age of Steel">The Age of Steel</a>", but only very briefly and were not used during that episode), but also use advanced human weapons to battle the Daleks. The arm mounted guns prove effective against humans but are unable to penetrate Dalek shields. Two Cybermen sent to parley with Dalek Thay at the Battle of Canary Wharf shot the Dalek but were promptly exterminated. In the <i><a href="/wiki/Torchwood" title="Torchwood">Torchwood</a></i> episode "<a href="/wiki/Cyberwoman" title="Cyberwoman">Cyberwoman</a>", the partially converted <a href="/wiki/List_of_Torchwood_minor_characters#Lisa_Hallett" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Torchwood minor characters">Lisa Hallett</a> used her electrical touch against the Torchwood team, as well as an energy beam fired from her arm which could only stun the part of the body at which it was aimed. In "<a href="/wiki/The_Pandorica_Opens" title="The Pandorica Opens">The Pandorica Opens</a>", the Cybermen again have the wrist-blaster, but also regain the modified human weapons. In "<a href="/wiki/Nightmare_in_Silver" title="Nightmare in Silver">Nightmare in Silver</a>", the Cybermen have the ability to move at a warp-like speed. At this speed they appear as blurry after images. Cyberman had also overcome the weakness of solely being able to convert human-like species; the Doctor had been safe from being in danger of conversion until this point. </p><p>The Mondasian Cybermen from The Tenth Planet were updated for the Series 10 Finale. As opposed to shooting from their chest pieces they used their lanterns as weapons. This was in the Novelisation for The Tenth Planet. They also had the ability to emit electricity. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Cybermat">Cybermat</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cyberman&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Cybermat"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Cybermite.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Cybermite.jpg/220px-Cybermite.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="183" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Cybermite.jpg/330px-Cybermite.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2c/Cybermite.jpg/440px-Cybermite.jpg 2x" data-file-width="697" data-file-height="579" /></a><figcaption>The Cybermat, on display at the Doctor Who Experience.</figcaption></figure> <p>The Cybermen also use smaller, cybernetic creatures called "cybermats" as weapons of attack. In their first appearance in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Tomb_of_the_Cybermen" title="The Tomb of the Cybermen">The Tomb of the Cybermen</a></i>, they resembled oversized metallic <a href="/wiki/Silverfish" title="Silverfish">silverfish</a> and had segmented bodies with hair-like tactile sensor probes along the base of their heads, which were topped with crystalline eyes. The <a href="/wiki/Second_Doctor" title="Second Doctor">Second Doctor</a> described them as a "form of metallic life," implying that they may be semi-organic like the Cybermen, and that they too attack by feeding off brain waves. They were defeated using electricity.<sup id="cite_ref-39" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-39"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>39<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The second model of Cybermat seen in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Wheel_in_Space" title="The Wheel in Space">The Wheel in Space</a></i> was used for sabotage, able to tune in on human brainwaves. They were carried to the "Wheel" in small but high-density sacs that sank through the hull of the space station, causing drops in air pressure. These Cybermats had solid <a href="/wiki/Photodetector" title="Photodetector">photoreceptors</a> for eyes instead of crystals. The Second Doctor used an audio frequency to jam them, causing them to spin, crash and disintegrate.<sup id="cite_ref-40" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-40"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>40<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The third model, seen in <i>Revenge of the Cybermen</i>, was a much larger, snake-like cybermat that could be remotely controlled and could inject poison into its victims. It had no visible eyes or other features, and was as vulnerable to gold dust as the Cybermen were. </p><p>The original model was later mentioned in a conversation between the Doctor and his double during <i><a href="/wiki/The_Rebel_Flesh" title="The Rebel Flesh">The Rebel Flesh</a></i>, reaffirming that that model of Cybermat killed by feeding on brainwaves. </p><p>The fourth model of cybermat appears for the first time in the revived series in the 2011 episode "<a href="/wiki/Closing_Time_(Doctor_Who)" title="Closing Time (Doctor Who)">Closing Time</a>", where it is shown to have an organic mouth full of sharp teeth, and transmits power to a crashed cyber-ship. </p><p>In the audio play <i>Spare Parts</i>, "mats" are cybernetically augmented creatures, sometimes kept as pets. Cybermats of a different design are used for surveillance by Mondas' Central Committee. The creatures occasionally go wild, chewing on power sources, and must be rounded up by a "mat-catcher." In the <a href="/wiki/Past_Doctor_Adventures" title="Past Doctor Adventures">Past Doctor Adventures</a> novel <i><a href="/wiki/Illegal_Alien_(Doctor_Who)" class="mw-redirect" title="Illegal Alien (Doctor Who)">Illegal Alien</a></i> by <a href="/wiki/Mike_Tucker_(special_effects_artist)" title="Mike Tucker (special effects artist)">Mike Tucker</a> and <a href="/wiki/Robert_Perry_(writer)" title="Robert Perry (writer)">Robert Perry</a>, set in the 1940s, the Cybermen create cybermats by cyber-converting local animals like cats or birds, possibly because of lack of technological resources. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/Bernice_Summerfield" title="Bernice Summerfield">Bernice Summerfield</a> audio adventure <i><a href="/wiki/The_Crystal_of_Cantus" class="mw-redirect" title="The Crystal of Cantus">The Crystal of Cantus</a></i>, a Cyberman reveals that the organs of children who are too small to be fully cyber-converted are used in the creation of cybermats. </p><p>The cybermats appeared in the video game "<a href="/wiki/Blood_of_the_Cybermen" class="mw-redirect" title="Blood of the Cybermen">Blood of the Cybermen</a>"<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> where instead of killing, they turned individuals into cyberslaves. The slaves have mostly human bodies, but have Cyberman heads and arms. The Cybermen see the cyberslaves as inferior, and delete them once they have served their purpose. </p><p>An upgraded form of cybermats, referred to as cybermites, appeared in "<a href="/wiki/Nightmare_in_Silver" title="Nightmare in Silver">Nightmare in Silver</a>".
