Alright, after looking around the topic on the Cacodemon page, and learning that Giant Bomb puts "races" under "concepts," I believe that the Cyberdemon character page should be deleted and the concept page should be maintained. There was nothing special about the cyberdemon at the end of Doom, distinguishing him from the cyberdemons of Doom II. In the fiction of the Doom universe (if you can call it that), cyberdemons are a "race," or at least there are more than one of them. Sure, you didn't know that in Doom, and the developers probably didn't either, and yes, making the final boss of a game a recurring enemy in the sequel is basically a lazy-ass retconny way to one-up him in said sequel with a gigantic brain spider...
And no claiming plural Spider Masterminds, as TNT: Evilution and The Plutonia Experiment don't count as Doom canon as far as I know, as they were not id developed.
Okay, yeah, you can tell I'm sleep-deprived, because I'm typing paragraphs about Doom canon. But really, I'm just irked that when I type "cyberdemon" into the search box, I get two pages.
