Taken at face value, the origins of the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] given in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comics feature ''[[The Cybermen]]'' conflicts with that given in ''[[Spare Parts]]'' and neither accords very well with ''[[The World Shapers]]'', which had earlier appeared in ''Doctor Who Magazine''. [[Lance Parkin]] has speculated that perhaps Cybermen have originated in different planets and times independently, just as they had in different universes, as illustrated by the [[Cyberman (Pete's World)|parallel universe Cybermen]] having no connection with the Cybermen of the main universe. The twin television stories ''[[World Enough and Time (TV story)|World Enough and Time]]'' and ''[[The Doctor Falls (TV story)|The Doctor Falls]]'' later confirmed this interpretation, as while showing the creation of the Cybermen on a Mondasian colony ship, it also had the [[Twelfth Doctor]] stating that "like cellphones and [[Donald Trump]]", Cybermen "happened wherever there were people", as a sort of unnatural [[parallel evolution]]. | Taken at face value, the origins of the [[Cyberman (Mondas)|Cybermen]] given in the ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' comics feature ''[[The Cybermen]]'' conflicts with that given in ''[[Spare Parts]]'' and neither accords very well with ''[[The World Shapers]]'', which had earlier appeared in ''Doctor Who Magazine''.

Alternatively, the Cybermen shown in ''The World Shapers'' may have preceded the ones in ''The Cybermen'', though they do not match visually. (The former resemble the sleeker, later Cybermen while the Cybermen of ''The Cybermen'' resemble the ones of ''[[The Tenth Planet]]''.) The explanation of the creation of Mondas by the [[Constructors of Destiny]] in ''[[The Quantum Archangel (novel)|The Quantum Archangel]]'' also contradicts that given in ''The World Shapers''. | Alternatively, the Cybermen shown in ''The World Shapers'' may have preceded the ones in ''The Cybermen'', though they do not match visually.
