Line 22:
* [[Batman|Black Mask]] likes to use this trope, drills, irons (as in ironing irons, with the steam and the hurting and the [[The Simpsons (animation)|OH GLAYVEN]]. His ... interrogation partners end up looking a whole less pretty than they used to be..
* When King Mob is being tortured by Sir Giles in ''[[The Invisibles]]'', he has his fingers dropped in his lab after a convenient blackout. Subverted in that he's merely been injected with an experimental drug that allows him to perceive written language as a tangible object—e.g., he's given a slip of paper reading "Your Severed Fingers," and sees his severed fingers.
* [[Watchmen (comics)|Rorschach]] takes this trope and runs with it. He goes to a bar where he believes he can get some information, grabs a random person, and then asks the ''rest of the bar'' for the answers. Getting no response, he breaks one of his fingers, then asks again. Next shot, he's walking out of the bar, having recieved ''no'' information. We never hear what happened to the guy.
* This happened to Luca from ''[[The Meek]]'', and as a result his fingers still don't work right, years later. As he put it, "It took them seven fingers to figure out that I didn't know anything."
* The ''[[Hellblazer]]'' arc ''Son of Man'' has Mob torturer Gestapo threaten a target with nothing more than a pair of nail clippers. We later find out what they were used on: {{spoiler|his eyelids}}.
