Disability Immunity: Difference between revisions

* In an episode of ''[[The X-Files]]'', Mulder proved immune to some subliminal brainwashing because of his colorblindness.

** In another episode, all the living creatures in a given area die horrifically when their inner ears pressurize and explode out of their skulls. Amazingly, they find a single old woman sitting in her home, unaffected as death surrounds her for miles. It turns out the cause of the hemorrhages was a high frequency sound, and the woman was born without eardrums meaning that there was nothing for the pressure to build up against.

** Another ''Outer Limits'' episode called "Stream of Consciousness" posited a future where all brains were networked and had access to the world database, except for the protagonist, whose body rejected the procedure. This made him pretty much useless except as A) a janitor, and b) the [[Only Sane Man]] when the network became malevolent.

* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' had the episode "Band Candy" where chocolate bars sold all around Sunnydale cause anyone who eats them to revert to their teenage personalities. None of the young heroes are affected, despite Xander eating a large amount of his own chocolate, because they are ''already'' teenagers.
