I Have Your Wife: Difference between revisions

* Subverted in an episode of ''[[Family Guy]]'' where in a flashback, Lois is captured by criminals who demand a ransom of her rich father. They put her on the line. His response: "Now honey, you know family policy, we don't negotiate with kidnappers."

* The whole problem between [[The Hero|Zachary Foxx]] and [[God Save Us From the Queen|Queen of the Crown]] in ''[[Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers|Galaxy Rangers]]''. Zach has Eliza's body in stasis. The Queen has her [[Life Energy]] decorating her living room as a little red crystal, and a one-sided case of [[Foe Yay]]. Acts mostly as a subversion, as Eliza's the only human psychocrystal and just too good a tool to actually destroy. The closest it came to this was "Psychocrypt," where the Queen's relentless [[Mind Rape]] against both of them caused Zach to make a suicidal run to get his wife back.

* The penultimate episode of ''[[Static Shock]]'': Omnara kidnaps Static's father. Richie, Static's best friend and sidekick, also has the tendency to get kidnapped a lot.

* The first season finale of ''[[Teen Titans (animation)|Teen Titans]]'': {{spoiler|Slade injects Robin's ''four'' teammates with potentially deadly nanoprobes and has his finger on the button, forcing Robin to become his sidekick. The scheme falls apart when Slade cows Robin by engaging the probes on a limited setting; the combination of this sudden inexplicable pain that seems to be under Slade's control and Robin's frantic reaction to it tips off the Titans that they are being used as hostages to control their friend. And then Robin puts the nanoprobes in himself when Slade is about to kill his friends, and since they aren't selective, he'd die too.}}
