* Noora in ''[[The 99]]'' has the power to shine light at people, making them see their own inner darkness and feel guilt. [[Meaningful Name|Not coincidentally, "noor" means "light" in Arabic.]]

* The ''[[Power Rangers in Space]]'' finale "[[Crisis Crossover|Countdown to Destruction]]" had the Red Ranger destroy Zordon's chamber, unleashing his goodness on all the bad guys currently battling. Monsters were turned to dust, humanoid villains were all turned good.
* In ''[[Angel]]'''s third season, post-[[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]] Connor gets a Care Bear Stare from Cordelia when he tries to kill her.
Line 124:
== Tabletop Games ==
* Compel Emotion in ''[[GURPS]]: Magic'' can be used to compel happiness or peace. Ecstasy is a more malicious variant used to incapacitate the target.

* The ''[[Magic: The Gathering]]'' card "[http://gatherer.wizards.com/pages/card/Details.aspx?multiverseid=129667 Pacifism]" essentially disables opponent creatures by making them too peaceful to attack or block.

* James did this to Dolores in ''[[Zone of the Enders]] Dolores i'' when she had a [[Heroic BSOD]] via [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]]. Appropriate, considering she's a [[Robot Girl]].
* All three ''[[
* Lenneth Valkyrie, of ''[[Valkyrie Profile]]'', can use the experience gained by her Einherjar to increase their virtues and reduce their vices to increase their individual [[Karma Meter|"Hero" rating]].
* [[Disgaea|Laharl]] is subjected to one of these in the form of sexually attractive women spouting optimistic phrases. Given his aversion and (literal) allergy to the aforementioned, his stats are cut in half for the next fight. Flonne spouting "eternal love!" didn't help at all.
Line 152:
*** Or an intentional parody? Given that it comes from the Virtue Bear's butts in the form of [[Fartillery|a fart]], probably the latter.
* Subverted in an ''[[Xkcd]]'' [http://xkcd.com/146/ strip]; this "Care Bear Stare" is an energy blast that knocks the target down, and the black hat is a long-established identifier of the strip's "[[Jerkass]]" character. [[Word of God]] says that he got this power from ''[[Made From Real Girl Scouts|eating Care Bears]]''.
* In ''[[Nodwick]]'', they do a parody of the ''[[Dungeons

* In the Superhero arc of ''[[Dragon Tails]]'', Lemuel becomes a villain named Sparkles with the superpower of "Happiness Sparkles", in an attempt to pacify his enemies. It doesn't work particularly well - all it does is make them feel rather happy about beating the snot out of him.

** Later an Immortal used a heavy assault Care Bear Stare called a [http://www.egscomics.com/?date=2010-07-09 Serenity Spell] as an emergency [[Instant Sedation]] for a magic-user going bananas.
Line 169:
** ''[[The Care Bears Movie]]'' has it used to stop an evil spell, but it's not enough to stop the villain. That takes [[The Power of Friendship]].
* Maguro from ''[[Sushi Pack]]'' frequently uses her telepathic powers to share zen thoughts when an antagonist needs to calm down. In one instance, she used this on her own team mates to make them follow a course of action that they did not agree with.
