Line 4:
* ''[[Teen Titans (Animation)|Teen Titans]]'': The confrontation between Slade and Raven when Slade first returns includes Slade ripping her cloak, her clothes magically disintegrating, and her hair growing as he holds her immobilized, showing her a vision of [[The End of the World As We Know It]] at her own hands before tossing her unconscious from a roof.
** In addition, the entire episode 'Haunted' is just one gigantic Mind Rape.
** Not to mention what Raven did to Dr. Light (implied) during the opening teaser for "Nevermore", when she went all demonic with him with the [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]] [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]] and all the [[Naughty Tentacles|black tentacles]] dragging him under her cloak. He came out shivering with his suit shattered, mumbling incoherently.
*** In a later episode, Dr. Light quietly agrees to go to jail when Raven confronts him.
*** Poor Dr. Light. Mind Raped in two separate universes.
Line 13:
**** What? You mean when Megatron traps Starscream in a darkened room, then repeatedly commands his struggling and protesting victim to "say his name" while simultaneously stabbing him with his [[Freud Was Right|massive sword?]] What could possibly be suspect about that?
** [[Transformers the Movie|And looking back to 1986]], this is what Unicron has to do to Galvatron to enforce his loyalty, because Galvatron is Megatron wearing a new body and name, and Megatron is mentally incapable of being second banana.
* Vlad just loves to do this to ''[[Danny Phantom]]''. Danny later on begged for it, in an alternate future after everyone he ever cared for {{spoiler|died [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|because of]] [[Self -Made Orphan|him]]}}. [[Big Bad|Vlad Masters]] respected his wishes and ''removed his humanity''. What happens from there is ''ten years'' of [[Moral Event Horizon]] material. He steals Vlad's [[Our Ghosts Are Different|ghost half]] and murders his human self/shell. Luckily, it is [[Reset Button|averted]].... [[Mind Screw|or IS IT]]?
* In the '80s ''[[Defenders of the Earth (Animation)|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 (Animation)|SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' where he tries to get Gary to take a bath.
Line 28:
* In the episode A Knight of Shadows [[Martian Manhunteris]] also {{spoiler|mind raped by Morgan Le Fay in hopes that if she can convince him to fork over the philosophers stone for the illusion of his dead family, he's fine after the episode but for the duration of it he's quite screwed up by it}}
* ''[[X-Men (Animation)|X-Men]]'': You wouldn't expect this from him considering his [[Mind Over Manners]] approach, but Xavier applied some harsh enlightenment to [[Magneto]] about his violent ways by having him relive his memories of the Holocaust (or the generic war he lived through; it was a children's cartoon so they couldn't use the H-word). It may have had a point in teaching him that violence is wrong, as he spent the rest of the series reforming from his villainous ways but it is still forcing someone to relive his darkest memories.
** In the "Proteus" two-parter, the eponymous [[Psychopathic Manchild]] with [[Reality Warper|reality-warping]] powers "[[Reality Warper|physics-raped]]" the hell out of [[Wolverine]]: He wills him to get ''torn in half'', first horizontally, then vertically, and then ''melts him into a puddle of green slime,'' while his claws turn into writhing adamantium asps and try to bite him. When Proteus flies off, Logan "oozes" back into shape, sobbing into his hands from the experience. Afterward, even Wolverine, the archetype of the [[Nineties Anti -Hero]], was horrified still many episodes later.
** In "A Rogue's Tale", Rogue's mind is invaded by the memory/personality of [[Ms. Marvel (Comic Book)|Ms. Marvel]], a leftover from having absorbed her powers for good, and she is tormented by it {{spoiler|until Jean locks that part of her away}}.
** Then there's what Dark Phoenix did to Mastermind after realizing he was trying to control her.
Line 42:
* ''[[Adventure Time (Animation)|Adventure Time]]'' reveals during the episode "Holly, Jolly Secrets" that a man named Simon Petrikov was mind raped over the course of several hundred years, by a [[Artifact of Doom|cursed artifact]]. He fights it, but over time, he loses all his sanity, eventually becoming {{spoiler|The Ice King.}}
* Played for laughs on ''[[Phineas and Ferb]].'' When the super computer the kids built scans the entire Tri-State Area, Norm the robot covers his ears and says, "Get out of my mind!"
** A straighter and more serious example comes from "Phineas And Ferb Get Busted" as a [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[A Clockwork Orange (Film)|A Clockwork Orange]]''.
* In ''[[Young Justice (Animation)|Young Justice]]'', Psimon did this to M'gann by invading her mind and torturing her with the threat of revealing her darkest secret: {{spoiler|that she isn't a [[Green-Skinned Space Babe]], but an inhuman-looking White Martian. M'gann then returns the favor, unleashing her full psychic power to turn Psimon into a drooling vegetable.}} In season 2, {{spoiler|M'gann violently rips out information from the minds of two aliens whose brains can't be read through less invasive psychic methods, leaving them drooling and unresponsive.}}
