Monster File: The Cybermen – Part 2
Home Planet: Parallel Earth
Life Form: Human-Derived Cyborg
Life Form: Human-Derived Cyborg
The Cybermen from the Parallel universe are different from the ones that were first created in ours. These Cybermen were created from taking the brain from the human, and placing them in Cyber bodies, so that the brain is the only thing human. These Cybermen are stronger and more heavily built. It has not been confirmed yet if they are still allergic to gold. Their weapons are their electrified hands and a small wrist-mounted energy weapon. They have a chip that removes the emotions and feelings they have, so that they are mentally stronger and to prevent them realizing who they are. They came across to our world when they followed the Dalek void ship, across the void, but at first, only came out as ghosts. They declared war on the Daleks, and the two races fought against each other. The Cybermen boosted their numbers to fight by upgrading humans. The war was stopped, however, when the Doctor managed to trap both the Daleks and the Cybermen in the void. When the came across 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.
