The Cybermen first appear in the serial ''[[The Tenth Planet]]'' in 1966, set in 1986. This story explains how, millions of years ago, Earth had a twin planet known as Mondas that was knocked out of solar orbit and [[rogue planet|drifted into deep space]]. The Mondasians, already far in advance of Earth's technology and fearful for their race's survival,<ref>Parkin, Lance & Pearson, Lars (2012). ''A History: An Unauthorised History of the Doctor Who Universe (3rd Edition)'', p. 48. Mad Norwegian Press, Des Moines. {{ISBN|978-193523411-1}}.</ref> replaced most of their bodies with cybernetic parts. Having eventually removed all emotion from their brains (to maintain their sanity), the natives installed a drive propulsion system to pilot the planet itself through space. As the original race was limited in numbers and were continually being depleted, the Mondasians – now Cybermen – became a race of conquerors who reproduced by forcibly changing other organic beings into Cybermen. The [[First Doctor]] ([[William Hartnell]]) opposes these Cybermen when they attempt to drain the Earth's energy to make way for Mondas' return to the [[Solar System]]; in this encounter, Mondas absorbs too much energy from Earth, destroying it and all Cybermen on Earth. The adventure takes its physical toll on the Doctor, forcing him to [[regeneration (Doctor Who)|regenerate]] for the first time, becoming the [[Second Doctor]] ([[Patrick Troughton]]).

The Cybermen next appeared later in the same television season in ''[[The Moonbase]]'' (1967) opposite the Second Doctor. In 2070, the Cybermen attempt to remotely destroy the Earth by affecting its weather patterns with a device called the Gravitron. However, the Gravitron is used against them, hurling them into space. In the following season, ''[[The Tomb of the Cybermen]]'' saw a 25th Century human expedition discover sarcophagi containing hibernating Cybermen on the planet Telos, where the creatures arise and attack. This episode introduced the cybermats, small mechanical scouts used by the Cybermen, as well as the Cyber Controller. In ''[[The Wheel in Space]]'' (1968), the Doctor and his crew face off against the Cybermen on a marooned Earth space station in the 21st century. This episode introduces the Cyber-Planner, an immobile unit which directs the Cybermen. The Cybermen plan to take over the space station, after which their fleet will invade Earth. The Doctor uses an x-ray laser to destroy the Cybermen. In the next season, ''[[The Invasion (Doctor Who)|The Invasion]]'' has the Doctor and his companions visit late 20th century England, where he discovers an army of Cybermen are hidden on Earth and working with magnate Tobias Vaughn ([[Kevin Stoney]]) to invade Earth. Their invasion is defeated by the Doctor and the military support of the newly formed [[UNIT|United Nations Intelligence Taskforce]].

The Cybermen did not face the [[Third Doctor]] ([[Jon Pertwee]]) during his era, but one is shown as part of an exhibit in ''[[Carnival of Monsters]]'' (1973). The Third Doctor would however face Cybermen in the 20th anniversary special "[[The Five Doctors]]" (1983).

The [[Fourth Doctor]] ([[Tom Baker]]) is next to encounter a group of Cybermen in ''[[Revenge of the Cybermen]]'' (1975). These Cybermen are depicted as the wandering remnants of a fallen empire, ravaged by the so-called Cyber-Wars against victorious humanity, which had exploited the Cybermen's weakness to gold. These Cybermen attempt to restore the glory of their race by destroying the gold-rich asteroid Voga.

Cybermen were not seen again until ''[[Earthshock]]'' (1982), in which the [[Fifth Doctor]] ([[Peter Davison]]) encounters Cybermen in Earth in the year 2526. The Cybermen plan to destroy the planet with a large bomb while alien dignitaries visit Earth to discuss the ongoing Cyber-Wars. After the Doctor foils this plan, they decide to crash their freighter into the planet to achieve the same result. The freighter is hurled back in time, however, and the Doctor's companion, boy genius [[Adric]] ([[Matthew Waterhouse]]), is trapped on board as the freighter crashes into prehistoric Earth, killing Adric and triggering the [[Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event|K-T extinction event]]. The Cybermen appear once more in the Fifth Doctor's era, alongside the four previous Doctors, in "[[The Five Doctors]]" (1983), when they are transported to the Doctor's home planet of [[Gallifrey]] by the [[Time Lord]] President [[Borusa]] ([[Philip Latham]]).

''[[Attack of the Cybermen]]'' (1985) is set after ''Tomb''. The Cybermen attempt to use a time machine to avert the destruction of Mondas by causing [[Halley's Comet]] to crash into the Earth. Their plan fails and, due to the intervention of the [[Sixth Doctor]] ([[Colin Baker]]), they also lose their adopted homeworld of Telos to its original inhabitants, the Cryons.

The Cybermen appeared for a final time in the classic series in ''[[Silver Nemesis]]'' (1988), in which a fleet of Cybermen warships assemble to convert Earth into a new Mondas. A Cybermen scouting party is sent to Earth in search of the legendary Nemesis statue, a Time Lord artefact of immense power, made of the "living metal" validium{{Typo help inline|reason=If spelling is correct, please put word in "not a typo" template|date=February 2024}}. The intervention of the [[Seventh Doctor]] ([[Sylvester McCoy]]) and his companion [[Ace (Doctor Who)|Ace]] ([[Sophie Aldred]]), however, ensures that the Nemesis destroys the entire cyber-fleet instead.

Between the series' cancellation and subsequent revival, the Cybermen make one brief appearance, in the 1993 [[Children in Need]] special ''[[Dimensions in Time]]'', as one of several enemies used by evil Time Lady [[Rani (Doctor Who)|the Rani]] ([[Kate O'Mara]]) to hunt the Doctor.

==== Revived series (2005–present) ====
[[File:Cyberman from Doctor Who (529659465).jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|The 2006 redesign of the Cybermen]]
''Doctor Who'' was revived after a long hiatus by new showrunner [[Russell T Davies]] in 2005. By then, development of [[computer-generated imaging|CGI]] enabled large numbers of Cybermen or [[Dalek]]s to be featured in stories. In the [[Doctor Who (series 1)|first series]] of the revived programme, the Cybermen do not appear except for the inactive head of one, which is seen in a private museum of alien artefacts on Earth in the episode "[[Dalek (Doctor Who episode)|Dalek]]". For [[Doctor Who (series 2)|Series 2]] in 2006, Cybermen were reintroduced with a new [[origin story]] set in a [[Parallel universe (fiction)|parallel universe]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2019-11-23/doctor-who-cybermen-return/|title = Doctor Who: The Cybermen will return in Jodie Whittaker's second series}}</ref> In the "[[Rise of the Cybermen]]" and "[[The Age of Steel]]" two-part story, the [[Tenth Doctor]] ([[David Tennant]]) and his companions, [[Rose Tyler]] ([[Billie Piper]]) and [[Mickey Smith]] ([[Noel Clarke]]), crash land in a parallel London where the Cybermen are being created on modern-day Earth. The Cybermen are created by the owner of Cybus Industries, the dying [[transhumanism|transhumanist]] [[mad scientist]] John Lumic ([[Roger Lloyd-Pack]]). Lumic's Cybermen successfully convert much of the world's population by placing their human brains into robotic shells. The Doctor and his friends free London from their control. A human resistance group, the Preachers, then sets about to clean up the remainder of Lumic's factories around the world. The Cybermen reappear in the 2006 two-part finale "[[Army of Ghosts]]" and "[[Doomsday (Doctor Who)|Doomsday]]", exploiting a breach between universes to invade the Doctor's Earth. This breach is caused by a transport device belonging to the [[Dalek]]s, who reveal themselves and trigger all-out war between the two species. The Doctor ultimately re-opens the breach, causing the Cybermen and all but a few Daleks to become trapped inside before it is re-sealed. Cybermen next appear in the 2008 ''Doctor Who'' Christmas special "[[The Next Doctor]]", emerging in 1851 London after the Daleks damaged the walls of reality in the previous episode, "[[Journey's End (Doctor Who)|Journey's End]]". They attempt to raise a new army on Earth [[steampunk|using period technology]], but are again foiled by the Doctor.

After [[Steven Moffat]] took over the role of executive producer in 2010, Cybermen of essentially the design introduced by Davies continued to appear. No explicit reference is made to their origin, but generally the stylised 'c' (for Cybus Corporation) on their breastplate had been replaced by a plain circle, implying that they were not from the parallel universe. They appear in "[[The Pandorica Opens]]" (2010) alongside many of the Doctor's recurring enemies as part of an alliance dedicated to stopping him, arriving in cyber ships in 102 [[Common Era|CE]]. They appear again in "[[A Good Man Goes to War]]" (2011), when the [[Eleventh Doctor]]'s ([[Matt Smith]]) companion [[Rory Williams]] ([[Arthur Darvill]]) demands the location of a secret asteroid base in a quadrant of space which they monitor in the 52nd century. The Doctor destroys a large fleet of their spaceships to indicate their seriousness. In "[[Closing Time (Doctor Who)|Closing Time]]", an ancient slumbering cyber ship is awakened in 2011 [[Colchester]], and the Doctor and his friend Craig Owens ([[James Corden]]) work together to repel a Cyberman invasion. This episode also reintroduces cybermats to the series. [[Neil Gaiman]]'s episode "[[Nightmare in Silver]]" (2013) depicts the re-emergence of the Cybermen in the distant future, following what was believed to be their complete eradication by humankind. These redesigned Cybermen have discarded many of their limitations, exhibiting increased speed, rapid upgrading to overcome weaknesses, and the ability to convert any biological organism into their ranks. The Eleventh Doctor undergoes a partial cyber-conversion, and mentally duels with a Cyber-Planner for control of his body. The emperor of the galaxy ([[Warwick Davis]]) orders a planet's destruction to wipe out the Cyberman, but one intact {{Not typo|cybermite}} (new, minuscule cybermat variants) is later seen floating through space. A dead Cyberman head is briefly shown in the [[UNIT]] Black Archive in "[[The Day of the Doctor]]", and in "[[The Time of the Doctor]]" they are among the many species which besiege the planet Trenzalore for centuries. In the latter episode, the Doctor also uses a disembodied Cyberman head, devoid of any remaining organic parts; named "Handles", he serves as the Doctor's personal assistant and confidant for several centuries until his eventual 'death' brings the Doctor to tears.

In the two-part finale of the 2014 series, "[[Dark Water (Doctor Who)|Dark Water]]" and "[[Death in Heaven]]", the [[Twelfth Doctor]] ([[Peter Capaldi]]) learns too late that the Cybermen have formed an alliance with a female incarnation of [[The Master (Doctor Who)|the Master]], Missy ([[Michelle Gomez]]), who is converting the stolen bodies of the dead into an army. A  {{Not typo|cyberconversion}} process begins on all of Earth's dead. Missy offers the Doctor control of the Cybermen army so they can rule the universe together, but her plan is foiled when [[Danny Pink]] ([[Samuel Anderson (actor)|Samuel Anderson]]), the cyber-converted boyfriend of the Doctor's companion [[Clara Oswald]] ([[Jenna Coleman]]), resists his programming and destroys himself along with all the other Cybermen. Cybermen are next seen in "[[Face the Raven]]" (2015), among the various alien refugees hiding in London, and in series finale "[[Hell Bent (Doctor Who)|Hell Bent]]", in which a rusted Cyberman is imprisoned in the Cloisters of Gallifrey. The origin of another group of Cybermen is told in the two-part [[Doctor Who (series 10)|Series 10]] finale "[[World Enough and Time (Doctor Who)|World Enough and Time]]" and "[[The Doctor Falls]]", when a Mondasian colony ship is stuck escaping the gravity of a black hole for many years. The human-like Mondasians, assisted unknowingly by [[Master (Doctor Who)|the Master]] ([[John Simm]]), begin upgrading their population to adapt to life aboard the decaying ship. The Doctor reflects on all the societies that have created Cybermen and concludes that the Cybermen is an example of [[parallel evolution]]; the Cybermen will always arise and be developed on human-like species across the universe. Ultimately, this encounter with the Cybermen proves brutal: the Doctor's companion [[Bill Potts (Doctor Who)|Bill Potts]] ([[Pearl Mackie]]) is {{Not typo|cyberconverted}}; two incarnations of the Master (Simm and Gomez) kill one another in a disagreement over standing alongside the Doctor; and the Doctor's companion [[Nardole]] ([[Matt Lucas]]) is left behind on the ship to look after human colonists, for whom inevitable {{Not typo|cyberconversion}} has been delayed but not averted, though the Doctor manages to destroy most of the Cybermen in a massive explosion. The Doctor, exhausted and wounded to a point of nearing death, awakens in his TARDIS and begins to regenerate. At the same time, the {{Not typo|cyberconverted}} Bill is saved by her old flame Heather who turns her into the same sort of being Heather became after being infected by a sentient liquid.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/doctorwho/entries/adff0629-5ce5-4a0e-b81a-69693d489745 |title=Original Mondasian Cybermen return to Doctor Who! |author=The Doctor Who Team |date=6 March 2017 |website=BBC Latest News – Doctor Who |access-date=8 May 2017 }}</ref>

Cybermen feature heavily in [[Doctor Who (series 12)|Series 12 (2020)]]. In "[[Fugitive of the Judoon]]", experienced companion [[Jack Harkness|Captain Jack Harkness]] ([[John Barrowman]]) sends a message to the [[Thirteenth Doctor]] ([[Jodie Whittaker]]): "do not give the lone Cyberman what it wants". In "[[The Haunting of Villa Diodati]]", the Doctor encounters this Cyberman, the sole survivor of the Cyber-Wars, partially-converted Ashad ([[Patrick O'Kane]]). She ignores Jack's warning and gives him the Cyberium, the total knowledge of the defeated Cyberman empire, to save human history. This leads to Ashad rejuvenating the Cyber-Empire in season finale "[[Ascension of the Cybermen]]" and "[[The Timeless Children]]", intending to end all organic life in the universe with a "Death Particle" once he transforms the Cybermen into a purely technological race. However, the Master ([[Sacha Dhawan]]) intervenes, promising an alliance only to swiftly betrays Ashad, confiscating the Cyberium and converting the massacred Time Lord civilisation into "CyberMasters" &ndash; a new race of infinitely [[regeneration (Doctor Who)|regenerating]] Cybermen. This army is seemingly defeated by a miniaturised version of the Death Particle. A Cyberman is later seen in the 2021 New Years Special "[[Revolution of the Daleks]]" as one of the Doctor's cellmates in a [[Judoon]] prison. The CyberMasters and a clone of Ashad return alongside the Master in a daring scheme alongside the Daleks to steal the Doctor's body in "[[The Power of the Doctor]]" (2022), narrowly defeated only when the Doctor's companions succeed in bringing her back to life.

=== Spin-offs ===
The Cybermen have appeared in various [[Doctor Who spin-offs|spin-off]] media.

==== Novels ====
The Cybermen were also featured in the novel ''Iceberg'' by actor [[David Banks (actor)|David Banks]], who played the Cyber Leader in the television series from ''Earthshock'' to ''Silver Nemesis''. Banks had previously written, in 1988, ''Cybermen'', a fictional history of the Cybermen which included a "future" design for them. The Missing Adventure Novel ''[[Killing Ground (novel)|Killing Ground]]'' also features Cybermen of the type seen in ''Revenge of the Cybermen''. During this novel, the [[Sixth Doctor]]'s new companion [[Grant Markham]] returns to his home planet and learns that a group of Cybermen have hidden on it for centuries, with his robophobia being based around the repressed memory of witnessing a Cyberman kill his mother before he escaped.

In two Virgin Missing Adventures novels by [[Craig Hinton]], the Cybermen become Cyberlords at some point in their history. They are mentioned in passing in Hinton's ''[[The Crystal Bucephalus]]'', where the Cyberlord Hegemony is a peaceful future version of the Cybermen who have an empire in the [[Milky Way]]; their description was modelled after Banks's designs. In ''[[The Quantum Archangel]]'', there are numerous unexplained references to the Cyberlords as an extremely advanced race. At one point, they are referred to as the Time Lords' greatest ally in the Millennium War, though because that war was supposed to have taken place a very long time before the modern era, it is unclear how this bit of Cyberhistory fits in or whether or not they have achieved advanced time travel capabilities. While not explicitly mentioned, Hinton may have adopted this idea from the aborted script for the [[Five Doctors]] by [[Robert Holmes (scriptwriter)]], which would have had the Cybermen adopting [[Time Lord]] DNA to achieve their higher state of being.

The Past Doctor Adventures novel ''[[Illegal Alien (Doctor Who)|Illegal Alien]]'' featured Cybermen and Cybermats in London during [[the Blitz]]. Cyber-technology left over from that adventure was subsequently misused in ''[[Loving the Alien (Doctor Who)|Loving the Alien]]'', written by the same authors. The Fifth Doctor story ''[[Warmonger (Doctor Who)|Warmonger]]'' by [[Terrance Dicks]] has the Cybermen join the Doctor's alliance against [[Morbius (Doctor Who villain)|Morbius]]. The First Doctor story ''[[The Time Travellers]]'' by Simon Guerrier, set in an alternate reality, has the Cybermen (who are never named) living at the South Pole and trading advanced technology to South Africa. The [[Eighth Doctor Adventures]] novel ''[[Hope (Doctor Who)|Hope]]'' by Mark Clapham features the Silverati, a group of cybernetically enhanced humans heavily reminiscent of the Cybermen, in existence in the very far future as the universe approaches its end, with some evidence suggesting that the Silverati were adapted from remnants of the Cybermen of the present.

==== Audio dramas ====
The Cybermen have appeared in several Big Finish audio plays battling the Doctor, the first of which was ''[[Sword of Orion]]'' (released on CD in 2001 and broadcast on [[BBC 7]] in 2005), where the [[Eighth Doctor]] deals with humans and androids engaged in a war who seek Cyber-technology to improve their sides. The 2002 play ''Spare Parts'' explored aspects of the Cybermen's origin, revealing that the design was ironically only perfected after their creator, Doctorman Allan, studied the biology of the Fifth Doctor and duplicated a third lobe to the Doctor's brain that controlled his body functions. They were the villains in the company's [[bbc.co.uk|BBCi]] webcast ''[[Real Time (Doctor Who)|Real Time]]'', which was released on purely audio in December 2002. The first instalment of a four-CD series titled ''[[List of Doctor Who audio plays by Big Finish#Cyberman|Cyberman]]'', which does not feature the Doctor, was released in September 2005. ''Sword of Orion'' and the ''Cyberman'' series are set around the "Great Orion Cyber-Wars" of the 26th century, when androids rebelled against humanity in the Orion System and both human and android turned to the Cybermen to gain a military advantage. In ''Sword of Orion'', the Cybermen are still entombed on Telos and are mostly forgotten, setting it before ''Earthshock''; by the time of ''Cyberman'', Telos has been destroyed by an asteroid collision, placing that series after ''Attack of the Cybermen''.

The Cybermen appeared in a linked trilogy of plays entitled ''[[The Harvest (Doctor Who audio)|The Harvest]]'' (2004), ''[[The Reaping (Doctor Who audio)|The Reaping]]'' (2006) and ''[[The Gathering (Doctor Who audio)|The Gathering]]'' (2006), where small groups of Cybermen attempt to manipulate humans into setting up conversion factories on Earth. The [[Bernice Summerfield]] play ''[[The Crystal of Cantus]]'' features a former human colony turned into Cybermen, with [[Irving Braxiatel]] planning to use them as a private army. A Cyberman tomb also appeared in the Bernice Summerfield play ''Silver Lining'', which came free with ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'' #351. They appear in ''[[Human Resources (Doctor Who audio)|Human Resources]]'', which Big Finish produced for radio [[BBC 7]] and subsequently released on CD, and sees the Eighth Doctor averting a plan to take control of a new weapons system. The Sixth Doctor joins forces with the Second Doctor's companions Jamie and Zoe to deal with two different Cybermen assaults in ''[[Legend of the Cybermen]]'' and ''[[Last of the Cybermen]]''; ''Legend'' sees Zoe made into the new Mistress of the Land of Fiction, bringing in the Sixth Doctor and a fictional version of Jamie to stop the Cybermen conquering the Land, and ''Last'' depicts the Sixth swapping places with the Second just as the younger Doctor discovers a Cybermen plot to alter the outcome of the last battle of the Cyber-Wars. In the [[Fourth Doctor Adventures]] audio ''The Fate of Krelos''/''Return to Telos'', the Fourth Doctor, Leela and K9 discover that the Cybermen planted nanobots on Jamie during their past trip to Telos that allow the Cybermen to infect K9 and subsequently use the TARDIS to take over the machinery of the planet Krelos, but the Doctor is able to use a robot drone to go back to his original trip to Telos and prevent Jamie being exposed to the nanites, undoing these events.

In March 2018, the Cybermen had their first encounter with the [[Third Doctor]] (this time played by Tim Treloar) in ''The Tyrants of Logic'', one of the stories in Volume 4 of Big Finish's ''The Third Doctor Adventures'' series.  In the story, the Doctor and companion [[Jo Grant]] ([[Katy Manning]]) arrive in the town of Port Anvil on the planet Burnt Salt. They come across a mysterious crate, which the Cybermen set about to reclaim as it contains the "Cyber Leveler," a type of tactician similar to the Cyber Controller. In the ensuing adventure, the Doctor is exposed to "Cyber Smoke," a poisonous gas that prepares a body for cyber conversion.  The Doctor is able to fight off the infection for a time, and develop a cure, which he then uses against the Cybermen, defeating them. The Cybermen battle the Third Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith in the Audio Novel ''Scourge of the Cybermen''. David Banks reprised his role as the Cyber-Leader in ''Hour of the Cybermen'', against the Sixth Doctor and UNIT, and ''Conversion'', which served as a follow-up to ''Earthshock''.

==== Comics ====
They have also appeared in the various ''Doctor Who'' comic strips, beginning with ''The Coming of the Cybermen'' in ''[[TV Comic]]'' #824-#827. TV Comic cashed in on their frequent presence in the TV series in the late 1960s by featuring them regularly, and they appeared in ''Flower Power'' (TVC #832-#835), ''Cyber-Mole'' (TVC #842-#845), ''The Cyber Empire'' (TVC #850-#853), ''Eskimo Joe'' (TVC #903-#906), ''Masquerade'' (TVC Holiday Special 1968), ''The Time Museum'' (TVC Annual 1969), ''The Champion'' (TVC Holiday Special 1969) and ''Test-Flight'' (TVC Annual 1970). Their absence from the TV show for most of the 1970s was reflected in a lack of appearances in the strip: they eventually returned in the early 1980s in the ''[[Doctor Who Monthly]]'' strip ''Junk-Yard Demon'' (DWM #58-#59). They made further appearances after the publication was re-titled ''[[Doctor Who Magazine]]'': ''Exodus''/''Revelation''/''Genesis'' (DWM #108-#110), ''The World Shapers'' (DWM #127-#129, written by [[Grant Morrison]], which revealed that the [[Voord]] were the race that evolved into the Cybermen and that Mondas was previously the planet Marinus),<ref>Lance Parkin, ''Whoniverse'', Aurum Press, 2015</ref> ''The Good Soldier'' (DWM #175-#178) and ''The Flood'' (DWM #346-#353). In addition, a Cyberman named [[Kroton (Cyberman)|Kroton]], who originally appeared in a couple of ''[[Doctor Who Weekly]]'' back-up strips called ''Throwback: The Soul of a Cyberman'' (DWW #5-#7) and ''Ship of Fools'' (DWW #23-#24), was reintroduced in ''Unnatural Born Killers'' (DWM #277) and was briefly a companion of the [[Eighth Doctor]] in ''The Company of Thieves'' (DWM #284-#286) and ''The Glorious Dead'' (DWM #287-#296). The Cybermen had their own one-page strip in DWM from issues #215-#238, written by Alan Barnes and drawn by Adrian Salmon.

In 1996, the ''[[Radio Times]]'' published a ''Doctor Who'' comic strip. The first story, entitled ''Dreadnought'', featured the Cybermen attacking a human starship in 2220 and introduced the strip companion [[Stacy Townsend]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cuttingsarchive.org.uk/comics/cuttings/rt_strip/dnough01.htm |title=RT 8th Doctor Comic strip - Dreadnought Part 1 |access-date=6 November 2005 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060502115541/http://cuttingsarchive.org.uk/comics/cuttings/rt_strip/dnough01.htm |archive-date=2 May 2006 }}</ref>

In 2006/2007, the Trading Cards magazine [[Doctor Who - Battles in Time]] issues 8 - 11 ran a sixteen-page comic strip consisting of four linked stories featuring the Cybermen, written by Steve Cole, drawn by [[Lee Sullivan (comics)|Lee Sullivan]] and coloured by Alan Craddock.{{citation needed|date=March 2022}}

In the ''Doctor Who''/''[[Star Trek]]'' crossover, [[Star Trek: The Next Generation/Doctor Who: Assimilation2|''Assimilation2'']], the Cybermen join forces with the [[Borg (Star Trek)|Borg]], forcing the [[Eleventh Doctor]] to join forces with the crew of the [[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701-D)|''Enterprise''-D]] to stop them.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://news.whoviannet.co.uk/2012/02/doctor-who-star-trek-crossover-comic-revealed/ |title=Doctor Who, Star Trek crossover comic revealed • Doctor Who News • WhovianNet |publisher=News.whoviannet.co.uk |date=2012-02-14 |access-date=2013-08-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120408180000/http://news.whoviannet.co.uk/2012/02/doctor-who-star-trek-crossover-comic-revealed/ |archive-date=8 April 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The Borg and Cybermen have begun to attack and convert worlds without warning, with the apparent 'leader' being a Cyber-Controller with Borg components. The Doctor also recalls a past incident where he helped the crew of the original ''[[USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)|Enterprise]]'' defeat a Cyberman infiltration of a Federation outpost in his [[Fourth Doctor|fourth incarnation]], although it would appear that this is a recent addition to his history as the Eleventh Doctor also remembers ''not'' remembering that encounter. The Cybermen attempt to subvert and take over the Borg Collective, forcing the Doctor and the ''Enterprise'' to ally with the Borg to stop the Cybermen and restore the Collective to normal.

The Cybermen also feature in the Titan Comics 2016 multi-Doctor event story ''Supremacy of the Cybermen'', which depicts the last Cybermen at the end of the universe forming an alliance with [[Rassilon]]- after he was exiled from Gallifrey by the Twelfth Doctor in "[[Hell Bent (Doctor Who)|Hell Bent]]"- with the goal of conquering Gallifrey and using Time Lord energy to regenerate the universe into one under Cyber-control. Although Rassilon's insight allows the Cybermen to conquer history and defeat all of the past Doctors, the Twelfth Doctor is able to convince Rassilon to help him after the Cybermen betray Rassilon, the two turning the Cybermens' equipment against them so that the universe is 'regenerated' to a point before the Cybermen conquered Gallifrey, with only the Twelfth Doctor (and possibly Rassilon) remembering these events.

==== Video games ====
The 2010 video game ''[[Doctor Who: The Adventure Games|Blood of the Cybermen]]'' features Cybermen of the 2006 design without the Cybus Industries chest plate. These Cybermen are unearthed in the Arctic in 2010; their ship is said to have been damaged by a time-storm and crashed 10,000 years earlier. The player plays as the Eleventh Doctor and his companion Amy, who work to defeat the Cybermen. They also appear on Telos in both the android games ''[[Doctor Who: The Mazes of Time]]'' and Doctor Who and the Dalek.

The Cybermen appear as enemies in ''[[Lego Dimensions]]'', and one was added as a playable character in Wave 3.
