* One issue of a Polish comic book series "Tytus, Romek i A'Tomek" dealt with the misguided education of Tytus (who happens to be a talking, civilized chimp). In order to make him less [[Book Dumb]] and more adjusted, [[Mad Scientist|professor T. Alent]] first mindwipes him back to kindergarten, then proceeds to educate Tytus using his crazy inventions, to the point of force-feeding the ape's brain with information. Over the next weeks Tytus gains professor-grade education, receives several academic awards and finally starts burning out. In the end, he breaks into T. Alent's lab, resets his brain again, this time to college level (in his own words, "just a bit above Romek") and resumes his former life.

* One ''[[Justice League of America]]'' arc has a hyper-dimensional force seperate the league and their secret identities into different beings, allowing the heroes to be full-time heroes and the civilian-modes to have normal lives. The only one not happy about this is Plasticman's normal self Eel O'Brian, who doesn't like the idea that he can't be Plasticman again. When talking about this to [[Martian Manhunter]]'s civilian identity John Jones, he even mentions ''[[Flowers for Algernon]]''.

* A ''[[Touhou]]'' doujin titled ''[https://danbooru.donmai.us/pools/13897 Flowers for the Lovestruck Tomboy]'' is about [[The Ditz|Cirno]] getting a boost in intelligence from Remilia Scarlet tampering with her fate out of curiosity. She enjoys the benefits at first and even befriends [[Bookworm|Patchouli]], until her noticeable changes in character cause an internal conflict that splits her personality in two: her regular, ditzy self on one side, and [[Super-Powered Evil Side|a smart, powerful and wicked persona]] on the other side that takes over and becomes a serious threat. Remilia and Patchouli need to team up to take her down and revert the change.
