In a [[parallel universe]] version of [[Earth]] which the [[Tenth Doctor]] dubbed [[Pete's World]], Cybermen | In a [[parallel universe]] version of [[Earth]] which the [[Tenth Doctor]] dubbed [[Pete's World]], Cybermen, dubbed [[Human.2]], were the creation of [[Cybus Industries]], founded by the terminally ill [[John Lumic]]. These Cybermen were identified by the appearnce of the Cybus Industries "[[C]]" logo on their [[chest plate]]s. Many [[human]]s were forcibly "[[upgrade]]d" into Cybermen in the [[2000s]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rise of the Cybermen (TV story)|Rise of the Cybermen]]''/''[[The Age of Steel (TV story)|The Age of Steel]]'') These Cybermen crossed over en masse and invaded the Earth of [[N-Space]], only to be mostly sent into [[the Void]] by the [[Tenth Doctor]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Army of Ghosts (TV story)|Army of Ghosts]]''/''[[Doomsday (TV story)|Doomsday]]'') A group of these trapped Cybermen were released and attempted to conquer Earth in [[1851]], but were destroyed by the Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Next Doctor (TV story)|The Next Doctor]]'') However, more Cybus-derived models took to [[space]], and their [[Cyber-ship]]s appeared in [[the Alliance (The Pandorica Opens)|the Alliance]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Pandorica Opens (TV story)|The Pandorica Opens]]'') | ||
In N-Space, there existed groups of Cybermen which were all but identical in appearance to Cybus' Cybermen with the exception of their chest plates. One group was distinguished by the outline of a Cyber [[faceplate]] where the logo of a Cybus Cyberman would be. Led by a [[Cyber-Lord]], these Cybermen manned a [[Cyber-ship]] ship which was caught in a [[temporal storm]] which sent them crashing to Earth's [[Arctic]] thousands of years before [[2010]], where they were found and destroyed by the [[Eleventh Doctor]]. ([[GAME]]: ''[[Blood of the Cybermen (video game)|Blood of the Cybermen]]'') | |||
Most other groups of these Cybus-style Cybermen were distinguished by generic chest plating which lacked the "C" logo. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'', ''[[Nightmare in Silver (TV story)|Nightmare in Silver]]'' et al.) These Cybermen were organised into [[Cyber Legion]]s. ([[TV]]: ''[[A Good Man Goes to War (TV story)|A Good Man Goes to War]]'', [[GAME]]: ''[[The Eternity Clock (video game)|The Eternity Clock]]'') Like the Arctic Cybermen, these Cybermen made several appearances in Earth's early history, preceeding the [[Cyberman invasion of Earth (The Invasion)|first recorded invasion]], from crashed Cyber-ships. ([[TV]]: ''[[Closing Time (TV story)|Closing Time]]'', [[PROSE]]: ''[[Plague of the Cybermen (novel)|Plague of the Cybermen]]'') | |||
