Restraining Bolt: Difference between revisions

== Comic Books ==

* In [[Neil Gaiman]]'s recent redo of ''The Eternals'', said Eternals are hardwired by their creators, the Celestials, so that they can't bring themselves to physically harm a Celestial or they completely psychologically shut down. Even if they're not aware the thing they're about to attack ''is'' a Celestial, this works.

* [[Warren Ellis]]' run on ''[[Thunderbolts]]'' was a [[Boxed Crook]] scenario, where, faced with the task of keeping people like [[Psycho for Hire|Bullseye]] and [[I'm a Humanitarian|Venom]] in line, team leader [[Norman Osborn]] had the team injected with [[Nanomachines]] that could fry their nervous systems if they disobeyed orders.

** Brought back for Jeff Parker's run, with modifications: this time, the nanites can incapacitate painlessly or painfully. Most of the time, the 'painless' option is used, but one rogue member gets hold of a nanite controller, and activates the painful version. [[Laser-Guided Karma|Eventually, it gets turned on him.]]

* In the [[Planet Hulk]] storyline [[Incredible Hulk|Hulk]] and other gladiators were implanted with a restraining disc, which forced them to follow orders. In [[World War Hulk]], those he felt had wronged him got to wear one too.

* The title character of ''[[Zombo]]'' wears a pair of speedos through which, should be prove troublesome, Miss Handler can deliver an electric shock to his testicles. Obmoz instead has nanobots in his blood which force him to obey all orders, though it hurts him to do so.
