The Cybermen were one of the first doctor who villians to be introduced(after the Daleks). I think they started off as humans but then were made into robots bit by bit but I am not certain about that. One thing I am certain of is that they do not feel emotion making them unable to lose their temper like the daleks so they can always think clearly.The Cybermen usually tend to do their plots in secret and do not let themselves be seen in public if they can help it.They don't usually take prisoners like the daleks.They are one of the most well known and most loved Dr Who villians except for maybe the daleks.With the cybermen they tend to have just the average cybermen and one leader but the daleks have several "levels" of importance like The Black Daleks,The Supreme Daleks and The Emperor Daleks. I know those probably aren't in the right order but I wasn't trying to put them in any order. The Daleks I know for a fact were created by Davros (Terry Nation was the writer who thought them up Davros created them in the story). The Daleks were created from mutant Kaleds.The Fourth doctor once had a chance to destroy the daleks before they were even created but he decided that lots of people would unite to fight the daleks and it would be better to let them live.The closest any other doctor has come to that where the cybermen are concerned is when the sixth doctor blew up their leader. For those of you who haven't figured it out yet the daleks are my favourite Dr Who villian. I just really like their attitude towards everything and their screechy voice I don't think anything could rival that-except maybe Fran Drescher. However I can see why some people-like my mother- would find them irritating especially when they're chucking a fit at the doctor and really get screeching "EXTERMINATE,EXTERMINATE". The daleks aren't as emotionless as the cybermen but they don't have any positive emotions like compassion very often although there have been one or two times when they have repaid loyal servants.The daleks also were invulnerable to most weapons except dalekenium just like the cybermen were allergic to gold the daleks exploded when they were hit by dalekenium.
