Emotion Bomb: Difference between revisions

* The aptly named Despair Squid of ''[[Red Dwarf]]'' causes hallucinations in its victims that are so terrible that the victim commits suicide.

* In the second installment of ''[[Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People|Strong Bads Cool Game for Attractive People]]'', this is how Strong Sad's fights go in the Maps & Minions portion of the game. He is able to defeat any of your units except [[The Unintelligible|Homsar]].

* The [[Dungoens And Dragons]] spell ''crushing despair'' does not disable its targets completely, but is one more avenue (along with spells like ''cause fear'') to whittle away at an opponent's combat effectiveness until he can't hurt anyone, defend himself, or even run away.

 

* A less-publicized race on Star Trek TOS was the Deltans, a species that looked like hairless humans (they had eyebrows and eyelashes, but male and female were both completely bald). They naturally produce universally-recognized pheremones, and when in Starfleet have to take pheremone-production-inhibitors to keep everyone (of either gender, apparently) from trying to have sex with them.

* The main power of Venus from ''[[Agents of Atlas]]''. It gets them out of a lot of fights, as suddenly everyone is either gaping at her or thinking of their own love.

* When Eric and Linda Strauss were Dr. Fate, they fought Darkseid, and were, of course, losing badly. Then they cast one last spell on him, and he gets this look of utter confusion and despair on his face. He turns to them and plaintively asks "What have you done to me?" to which they reply that they've shared their love for one another with him. [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Feeling love so discombobulates him that he surrenders]]. {{spoiler|Then one of his footsoldiers [[Diabolus Ex Machina|kills Eric with a spear]].}}

* [[Whateley Universe]] examples: Fey has a glamour that does this even when she doesn't want it to. Carmilla can evoke a lust aura that's overwhelming. And Cytherea likes to use her lust aura to get her way, since she's really the avatar (or something) of Aphrodite.
