Line 134:
* "Eight" in ''[[The Specials]]'' is a superhero that inhabits eight separate human bodies, gaining the ability to to take a tropical vacation while simultaneously dispensing wisdom to teammates at the base.
* The Arachnids (or Bugs) from the ''[[Starship Troopers (film)|Starship Troopers]]''. The series expanded on them having a caste system, with each subspecies filling a specific role. The Brain Bugs and Behemacoatyl (from the third film, ''Marauder''; the largest Bug seen so far - its body engulfed almost an entire planet) have extreme psychic abilities that can be used to control all bugs in the colony. In the second movie, ''Hero of the Federation'', the General (who's been infected by a mind-control bug) uses this as a justification for exterminating humanity:
{{quote| '''[[General Ripper|General]] Jack Gordon Shephard:''' "[[Humans Through Alien Eyes|Poor creatures]]. Why must we destroy you? I'll tell you why. Order is the tide of creation. But yours is a species that worships...the one over the many. You ''glorify'' your intelligence... because it allows you to believe '''anything'''. That you have a destiny. That you have a right. That you have a cause. That you are [[Humans Are Special|special]]. That you are [[Humanity Is Superior|great]]. But in truth, you are ''born'' '''[[Humanity Is Insane|insane]]'''. And such ''misery''... cannot be allowed... to spread!"}}
* The [[Hive Mind (film)|film sharing the name of this trope]] has a feminist version of this.
* Nestor, one of the aliens in ''[[Battle Beyond the Stars]]'' is an entire hive-mind race. They are very bored with their life and join the heroes because it should provide exciting new experiences.
