* A variant in the Expert ''[[Dungeons and Dragons]]'' module ''The Curse of Xanathon'': an evil spellcaster can't take over the duchy by marrying the ruler (because they're both guys and it's not the Netherlands), so he ensorcels the duke into making insane proclamations which will destabilize the kingdom and facilitate a more conventional Invade-the-Kingdom plot. The brainwashed duke doesn't actually fight the heroes, but some of his proclamations may get the guards to do it for him.

* Musaran in the [[Ciem Webcomic Series]] is essentially the [[AI Is a Crapshoot]] version of this, as Jeraime has little or no control of his actions with the Musaran backvisor on his head. Allowing Arfaas to control Jeraime however he pleases. [[Power Perversion Potential|Mostly just as a hitman]], because [[Even Evil Has Standards|even Arfaas has standards]].

* Lydia, the [[Evil Sorcerer|villain]] of ''[[Barbie and the Diamond Castle]]'', uses a mind control spell to manipulate one of the heroines and later uses her to get the other heroine to hand over the only thing standing between her and [[World Domination]].

* ''[[Code Lyoko]]'': It is a common tactic for XANA to mind-control Aelita into doing his binding. Once in Season 2 through a [[Mind Control Device]], several times in Season 3 (and once in Season 4) with the Scyphozoa. And sure, her nickname is "Princess".

* ''[[The Fairly Odd Parents]]''. [[Designated Hero|Timmy]] [[Jerkass|Turner]] wished: "I wish [[Alpha Bitch|Trixie]] [[Asian Airhead|Tang]] loved Timmy Turner." as his second [[Genie in a Bottle|Norm the Genie]] wish. Norm the Genie made lots of Timmy Turners appear, listed where they were from, what their exact name was and made Trixie Tang kiss them all. Give Norm a [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]].

** Strangely, he phrased the wish that way to be more specific to minimize [[Literal Genie|Norm]]'s meddling, but just saying "I wish ''she'' loved ''me''." (while indicating Trixie) probably would have worked far better.

* Dr. Wily does this in the ''[[Mega Man (animation)|Mega Man]]'' cartoon: he gets another robot (Dr. Petto) to make Megaman doubt [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|his humanity]], then allow him to work on him. Wily places a chip in Mega, then toys with his mind for a while before outright taking control of him.
