The Cybus Cybermen originated in another universe, where they were created by John Lumic, the owner of Cybus Industries. (DW: Rise of the Cybermen)
They belived that all people must be "Upgraded" to Cyber-form as they were weak.
They crossed the void by following a void ship constructed by the Cult of Skaro. They then entered into a war with the Daleks, while simultaneously attempting to upgrade the population of the Earth. The Tenth Doctor, aided by Rose Tyler, was able to return and trap both the Cybermen and Dalek in the Void.
The Cybermen however had attempted to boost their numbers in the "Battle of Canary Wharf" by upgrading humans from our own universe, in a method similar to that used by the Mondasian Cybermen, wherein metallic parts were molded to a complete human body. (TW: Cyberwoman)
- It can be assumed that some Cybermen remain inactive on Earth.
Weapons and Technology
Unlike the Mondasian Cybermen, these Cybermen were created by taking the brain of humans and placing them in robotic bodies. These exo-structures were stauncher and more heavily built than Mondasian Cybermen, and so far the common Cyberman weakness for gold has not been confirmed for this particular breed of Cyberman. These new Cybermen were without a Cyber-Leader after their creator John Lumic was slain. Their only weapons were their electrified hands and a small wrist-mounted energy weapon. They were also programed with a computer chip that disabled them from having emotion or sense of feeling, to prevent them realizing what they are.
When they crossed 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.
The Cybus Cybermen will reappear in the 2008 Christmas special. The story is probably set in Victorian London.
