Line 37:
* ''[[Ghost Rider|Ghost Rider's]]'' [[Mind Rape|Penance Stare]] occasionally has this effect, although forcing people to feel all the pain they have inflicted on the innocent is more a [[Thou Shalt Not Kill|punishment]] than anything else.
* This, and all of its myriad [[Unfortunate Implications]], was a huge part of Mark Gruenwald's ''[[Squadron Supreme]]'' series. The Squadron (an [[Expy]] of the [[Justice League]]) institute brainwashing as the all-purpose punishment for crimes. The [[Black and Grey Morality]] of the series shows the brainwashing being a good thing for one character (who was just misguided to begin with and stays a good guy after the brainwashing is undone), and tragic for two others (one of whom becomes irreversibly catatonic after running into a contradiction in her programming).
* In Volume 5 of ''[[
* In an issue of Swedish children's comic [[Bamse]], notorious villain Krösus Sork is given a drink that makes him temporarily kind and generous.
* In the [[X-Men]] [[Spin-Off]] ''[[
* When [[Martian Manhunter|J'onn J'onzz]] undoes a mental block that makes him afraid of fire and unconsciously sends himself into a [[Face Heel Turn]], one of his first "evil" acts is to use his mental powers to perform this on various criminals. Inmates in high class prisons begin watching Sesame Street, the patients in Arkham are suddenly overcome with grief over their crimes and have to be restrained from committing suicide, KKK members begin lynching ''themselves,'' and [[Lex Luthor]] (at the time president) is put into a coma.
* The entire Indigo Lantern Corps. Their rings specifically seek out people who lack compassion for others such as Black Hand and ''force'' them to feel it. The rings also use their ability to manipulate other emotions on the emotion spectrum to control the feelings of the Indigo Lanterns (the Indigo entity itself, however, averts this and seeks out hosts who are already compassionate).
