Line 30:
* One ''[[Flash Gordon (comic strip)|Flash Gordon]]'' story centered on a tank-sized ray that could turn entire crowds into happy, good-hearted pacifists. Ming the Merciless takes control of it and use it to subjugate the opposition, until the protagonists manage to turn it on him. Flash even remarks what a swell guy Ming is when he's not evil. Justified since the ray's effect is temporary, and the rebound causes a lot of trouble later on.
* [[Doctor Strange]] on occasion has used [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] to make villains forget the evil magic they have learned—mostly for those who stumbled into it by accident and had no idea what they were doing.
* Commonly used by The Watchers in Marvel Comics; part of their [[Alien Non-Interference Clause]] states that mortals must not even know they exist, so they use [[Laser-Guided Amnesia]] on anyone who sees them. At least, they're supposed to; Uatu is something of a rebel who has often "forgotten" to do this, not the only way he has violated the clause.
