About The Cybermen The second most famous villains of Doctor Who, alongside the Daleks, the Cybermen first appeared in the First Doctor's final serial, "The Tenth Planet". A species of cybernetic beings; originally a fully organic humanoid species, they started replacing more and more of their biology with robotics to extend their life, to the point that they have next to nothing living inside them, including emotions, and somewhere along the line they for some reason picked up a drive to "upgrade" the entire universe to be like them. They are an example of "parallel evolution"; they have origins on many planets and in many timelines, essentially an inevitability, arising wherever there are people with the technology — Mondas, Telos, Planet 14, and so on. In fact, the Mondas/Telos Cybermen came from the tenth planet of the Earth's solar system ("Earth's long-lost twin planet").
