Editing Cyberman (section)

==== 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.
