Mind Rape/Western Animation: Difference between revisions

* In the '80s ''[[Defenders of the Earth]]'' series, ex-[[Distressed Damsel]] now [[Hot Scientist]] Dale Arden is actually ''killed'' through [[Mind Rape]] by Ming The Merciless. Her mind is later put in a crystal and becomes the core of the super-computer Dynak-X.

* Played for laughs in the episode of ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' where he tries to get Gary to take a bath.

* ''[[The Spectacular Spider-Man]]'': most other versions have Peter {{spoiler|simply use loud noise to remove the symbiote}}, but here he also had to face it forcing him through a [[Journey to the Center of the Mind]] re-telling the story of him gaining his powers and Uncle Ben's death.

* In the second season of ''[[Justice League]]'', Doctor Destiny (John Dee) uses his powers in a disturbing fashion - he traps his ex-girlfriend in a nightmare. In one creepy scene, he removes his clothes in front of her, before "putting on" his costume. She ends up becoming the first person in the series to [[Moral Event Horizon|actually die]] by action of a [[Complete Monster|supervillain.]]

**** It ''wasn't'' just so they could learn how to fly a spaceship. They had to use that spaceship to retake the Watchtower, so they could save the whole world.

**** Or possibly it's the way in which he went about it:

{{spoiler|'''Martian Manhunter''' (eyes glowing as he reaches for Lt. Kragger's head): I'll just have to try...''harder.''}} The Thanagarian also has [[Oh Crap|one of those looks on his face]] }}

** And then there's Ace of the Royal Flush Gang, who can make people insane simply by staring at them. The Joker takes her out of the government containment facility where she was held, and attempts to use her powers to drive the entire planet insane with a reality show. According to Joker, [[Insanity Immunity|his insanity protects him from her milder mind-rapes]], but when Ace realizes that he's no better than the government agents who kidnapped her, she makes him so insane that ''he goes into a coma'' (those who think of ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' as an alternate timeline like to believe that Joker remained in this state for the rest of his life), and the only reason he might have recovered is because he's too crazy to be properly [[Mind Rape|Mind Raped]].
