One group of the [[Mondasian Cybermen]] were first created on a newly built Mondasian [[Colony ship (World Enough and Time)|colony ship]]. The ship nearly fell into a [[black hole]] and, as a result, time on the bottom of the ship moved slower than at the top, the former being where descendants of the original skeleton crew lived. With their [[Floor 1056|part of the ship]] becoming old and uninhabitable, the colonists began transforming themselves into Cybermen with the participation of {{Simm}}.

In front of [[Missy|his future self]], he presented a fully [[Cyber-conversion|Cyber-converted]] [[Bill Potts]] to the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and declared this ship to be "the genesis of the Cybermen". | ||
These [[Mondasian Cybermen]] ([[TV]]: ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'') continued to evolve towards more robotic forms, and greater technology. Most of them were [[Battle of Floor 0507|destroyed]] by the Doctor; however, [[Nardole]] feared they would eventually regroup and continue [[Operation Exodus]], escaping the doomed ship to spread throughout the universe. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'') In time, the conflict between the Cybermen and villagers under Nardole's protection was "sorted". ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') | |||
One account held that these Cybermen were part of a larger trend, the [[Exodus Cyberman|Exodus Cybermen]], who arose on exodus ships launched from Mondas. ([[GAME]]: {{cs|Worlds Apart (video game)}}) | |||

In the [[2010]]s, | In the [[2010]]s, [[Missy]] founded [[3W Institute|3W]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') and began preserving bodies of the rich, ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') who believed their minds stayed conscious after death, in tanks filled with [[dark water]] which only showed the organic material, allowing Missy to convert them into Cybermen, supposedly exoskeletons to protect the bodies while uploading their minds to the [[Nethersphere]], a [[Matrix data slice]]. There, she removed their emotions to download them back into their bodies and create a Cyber army of the dead, ([[TV]]: ''[[Dark Water (TV story)|Dark Water]]'') creating the [[3W Cyberman|3W Cybermen]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Dangerous Book of Monsters (novel)|The Dangerous Book of Monsters]]'', ''[[A Short History of Everyone (novel)|A Short History of Everyone]]'') Missy personally referred to these Cybermen as her "Cyberdears" ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Meet Missy! (short story)|Meet Missy!]]'') or her "boys." ([[TV]]: ''[[Death in Heaven (TV story)|Death in Heaven]]'') When [[Danny Pink]] died, the [[Twelfth Doctor]] and [[Clara Oswald]] found 3W and Missy activated the Cybermen and released them from their tanks in [[St Paul's Cathedral]].

The Cybermen marched into the streets where they were greeted by curious on-lookers before [[UNIT]] arrived to confront them. The Cybermen flew off until one was over each area of major population density in the UK, then self-destructed, creating a rainstorm of [[Cyber-pollen]] that went into the ground and Cyber-converted all of the world's dead. The Doctor teamed with UNIT to try to stop them, despite the human race being outnumbered, while Clara was saved by Danny who was Cyber-converted but retained his emotions as he chose not to delete them and his emotional inhibitor was thus never activated. When Missy broke free, she had the Cybermen attack the UNIT presidential plane [[Boat One]]. The Doctor got sucked out of the plane in the attack, but managed to get into his TARDIS. Missy gave control of the Cyberman army to the Doctor, who then gave control to Danny. Danny, who retained control even with his inhibitor, ordered the Cybermen to fly into the rain clouds and self-destruct, burning up the clouds and stopping the conversion of humanity. A few minutes later, a surviving rogue Cyberman made out of [[the Brigadier]] shot at Missy after having saved his daughter [[Kate Stewart]] from the attack on Boat One and flies off.
