History
Origins
In the parallel universe known as Pete's World, John Lumic became obsessed with immortality and thus began creating the Cybermen with the plan to eventually transform himself into one. A small resistance group known as the Preachers led by Ricky Smith rose up to combat him and his efforts while Pete Tyler acted as a loyal friend to Lumic but in reality recognized his insanity and sent information to the Preachers under the alias Gemini, believing them to be security forces. In order to create more Cybermen, Lumic would trick homeless people desperate for food into getting into lorries and then kidnap them to be Cyber-converted as they wouldn't be missed. Lumic attempts to get permission from the President of Great Britain, but he refuses so Lumic gives himself permission and orders the people taken off the streets to be upgraded. He also prepares an attack on Jackie Tyler's party, having gotten the necessary information on its security from her mind using her EarPods.
As Lumic travels back to England after successfully creating and testing the Cybermen, the Tenth Doctor, Rose Tyler and Mickey Smith accidentally fall into Pete's World where they are stranded due to the Doctor's TARDIS drawing power from the main universe. The Doctor is able to find a power cell with a little bit of energy in it and gives it ten years of his own lifeforce to recharge it. As it will take twenty-four hours to charge enough to return them to their own world, Rose decides to go see her father who is dead in her world accompanied by the Doctor while Mickey goes to see his grandmother who is also dead in his world. After learning about the downloads to people's EarPods, the Doctor agrees to check out Pete Tyler as his company is owned by Lumic Industries while Mickey is abducted by the Preachers who believe he is their leader, Ricky, his alternate counterpart. After finding Ricky in their base, the Preachers are confused by the similarities between them but receive a transmission from Gemini about the fact that Lumic is making a move and the Preachers and Mickey follow them to Pete's house.
Shortly after the Doctor learns the truth about Lumic's plans from watching a copy of his presentation to the President, the Cybermen attack Pete's party and kill the President. They then kill or capture most of the guests including Jackie while Pete, Rose and the Doctor try to flee. They, Ricky, Mickey and Jake end up surrounded and are nearly killed, but the Doctor destroys the Cybermen with energy from the TARDIS power cell and they flee in the Preacher van with Mrs Moore.
Pete reveals himself as Gemini to the Preachers which disappoints him especially as Ricky turns out to only be London's Most Wanted for parking tickets, not being a revolutionary. Though the group plans to alert the authorities, Lumic uses the EarPods to take control of the people of London and move them to Battersea Power Station where he has his base of operations with the intention of upgrading them into his own personal army. The group ends up on the run from Cybermen patrols but while the others get away, Ricky is killed by the Cybermen.
Having avoided being controlled by the Ear Pods, Lumic's henchman Mr Crane pretends to volunteer for upgrading and then wrecks Lumic's life support system in an attempt to kill him. The Cybermen kill Crane and upgrade Lumic into their Cyber-Controller against his wishes. (TV: Rise of the Cybermen, The Age of Steel)
