| ~ The Cybermen |
The Cybermen are a race of hostile humanoid cyborgs from Doctor Who that are one of the series most recurring and dangerous antagonists (rivalling the Daleks in that regard) - although they share a lot in common with the Borg they predate the Borg, having been active in the Doctor Who universe since the early days of the series, in 1966. Cybermen are living, human brains inside a robot body that robs them of emotion and free will. They are programmed to see themselves as the superior human form and bring other humans to be "upgraded" into an essentially immortal mechanical body, usually against the person's own wishes. They are armed with an energy weapon built into their wrists, and their metal bodies are resistant agains most attacks.
