'''Potent Pheromones''' are a superpower that uses one's natural chemicals to induce an abnormal emotional or physical response in another person. The typical example would be [[Smells Sexy|pheromones causing an intense desire for a person]], usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to something close to [[Mind Control]]. However, this power can go beyond merely brainwashing someone into becoming a lovestruck pawn happy to do their master's bidding: more creative uses of pheromones can include using them to mark a target to unleash hordes of bugs or other creatures on, poisoning people or otherwise making them violently ill, and even empowering them with a strength boost or in some cases, brand-new superpowers. As you can see, pheromones can be quite the flexible superpower.

{{examples}}
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* SPH or Space Pheromones, from ''[[ēlDLIVE]]'', are select chemicals released by aliens. These pheromones are unique to each species, thus giving different abilities to different organisms.
* Love, the warden of Honey Prison from ''[[Toriko]]'', uses her pheromones to keep her prisoners and animals in check. Along with a tranquilizing effect, Love can also use them to mess with her victim's senses and make them feel a powerful sexual attraction towards her. They even mess with people's perception of her and cause them to see her as a tall, busty bombshell as opposed to the tubby little midget she actually is.
* Rikujou Kaori
== [[Comic Books]] ==
** Zebediah Killgrave, a.k.a the Purple Man
** Beast of the ''[[X-Men]]'' is capable of secreting pheromones that can cause women to be infatuated with him, but he doesn't use them and the only indication that he has any is [[All There in the Manual]].
** Minor Marvel villain Mandrill can exude pheromones that attract and enslave women, though particularly strong-willed women can resist them such as Black Widow and Shanna the She Devil.
** X-Men/New Warriors member Stacy X once had the power to emit pheromones that could affect bodily functions when she touched people, such as orgasms, vomiting, and rectal issues among others. She was among the many mutants depowered by M-Day, but is sometimes shown to have them back [[Depending on the Writer|for no real reason]].

* ''[[Monster Hunter]]'':
** The Seltas Queen from ''
** The Insect Glaive weapon also introduced in ''4'' is essentially a spear that allows its wielder to control a special bug called a [[Mon|Kinsect]]. The Hunter can shoot out a pheromone bullet as a "lock-on" for it to attack a monster, and aiming it at specific monster body parts will enable the Kinsect to collect special essences that can boost Hunter's stats.
** Xeno'jiiva from ''[[Monster Hunter World]]'', is {{spoiler|an alien Elder Dragon that is responsible for the Elder Crossing, and lures dying Elder Dragons towards the New World with special pheromones so it can absorb their life essence once they pass.}}
