Line 65:
** Whether this is good or bad depends on the form he's stuck as. Though when he recently got stuck as Banner... he proved to be dangerous even without the Hulk.
*** It's all a matter of perspective. Hulk would love to be mode-locked and never turn into Banner again. Banner would love to be free of the Hulk, but at this point [[Genre Savvy|knows better]]. Both absolutely hate the idea of being mode-locked as the other.
* A story arc in ''[[Legion of Super-Heroes]]'' involved Durlan shapeshifter Chameleon Boy getting stuck in his usual form and undertaking a dangerous journey on Durla to a place that would restore his shapechanging abilities. His father, who had long ago been Mode Locked into human form by a disease, came with him, but only to provide support; he had adjusted to having a permanent form and didn't want his abilities back.
* Appears in ''[[Calvin and Hobbes]]'' when Calvin's [[Transformation Ray|Transmogrifier Gun]] runs out of juice after a [[Shapeshifter Showdown]], leaving Calvin stuck in the form of an owl until it recharges. Somehow, his mother doesn't seem to notice, but humours him.
* ''[[PS238]]'' has an [[Expy]] of [[Incredible Hulk]], whose son is always in 'hulk mode'. It's not clear why.
** "Dynamode" used to be a free-form shapeshifter, but an unfriendly encounter with some telepath resulted in a career-ending "software" lock. For extra humiliation, {{spoiler|it enforces [[Dual Age Modes]] (morning to evening, she’s a brown-haired little girl, evening to morning, she’s an adult woman and redhead)}}… ''and'' prevents her from fuguring out on her own that it's an obvious evidence of her abilities still working, just not under her conscious control (unless she is this stupid on her own, which cannot be ruled out).
