==== 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 β’ Doctor Who News β’ 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.
