* Considering that they're part of the ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]'' universe, it shouldn't be too difficult to believe that the ''[[Eisenhorn]]'' novels feature this; when a number of captured Alpha-level [[Psychic Powers|Chaos Psykers]] are paraded through a large hive on a victory march, they manage to escape and wreak considerable havoc, including {{spoiler|crippling recently-promoted Inquisitor [[Ravenor]] for life}}. Several of Eisenhorn's opponents ({{spoiler|and later, Eisenhorn himself}}) also make use of daemonhosts: [[Sealed Evil in a Can|immensely powerful daemons bound into human bodies]], which are both immensely dangerous and intensely displeased with their enforced servitude.

''ONE'' AL+ Pshyker managed to enslave over ''fifty thousand'' innocents, and force them into combat against his enemies, he could even influence and control Space Marines to a lesser degree, allowing him so slip away unharmed when fifteen marin es were right next to him... one even picked him up thinking him an ''ordinary six year old''...

* In the Kamigawa block of ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'', a feudal lord captures [http://ww2.wizards.com/gatherer/CardDetails.aspx?&id=74644 a newborn spirit from the Spirit World], which makes him immortal.

* [[The Men in Black]] in ''[[Deadlands]]'' actually ''don't'' traffic much in Captured Super Entities.
