Flower Power was a TV Comic story featuring the Second Doctor, John and Gillian.

Summary

On a planet filled with strange wild butterflies, the TARDIS travellers meet Professor Gnat, a zany butterfly collector. When the Doctor finds a dead Cybermat, he knows the Cybermen are close but Gnat doesn't heed his warning and is captured and taken to a Cyber-City. The Doctor looks for more dead Cybermats, deducing the flowers' odour is deadly to the Cybermen. Using the flowers they enter the city and free Gnat. Using a ray gun, the Doctor tunnels their way out, but causes a cave-in behind them. The Cybermen think they're dead. The travellers escape and head for the TARDIS while Cybermen fire at them and escape just as Gnat catches a butterfly for his collection.

Cyberman stories

For the purposes of this list, a "Cyberman story" is one in which one living, authentic Cyberman plays a part within the confines of the story, outside of flashbacks to previous stories and cliffhangers that lead into the following story. For this reason, stories such as Dalek are absent due to only featuring deceased Cybermen on display. Stories like Carnival of Monsters, A Good Man Goes to War and The Vanquishers are also not included due to the Cybermen's appearance being of little consequence to the plot of the story.
