Guinea Pig Family: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Fullmetal Alchemist]]'' Poor {{spoiler|Daughter/Dog/Wife.}} Shou became a [[Complete Monster]] right then and there.

* One of [[Rumiko Takahashi]]'s short stories involved a boy whose parents kept experimenting on him as part of their 'get rich quick' schemes.

* ''[[Franken Fran]]'' has Fran turn her "little sister" Veronica into one of these over their differing opinions on life (i.e. Veronica thinks it's better to let someone die than subject them to a [[Fate Worse Than Death]]).

* Poor, poor [[Soul Eater|Crona]]. Mom's [[Moral Event Horizon]] got crossed when she used you for her black blood experiments, didn't it?

* ''[[Bleach]]'': Mayuri Kurotsuchi didn't have a family to use as guinea pigs, so he [[Artificial Human|made one]]. This doesn't stop him from grabbing unwilling test subjects, but it seems that his two favorite things to experiment on are [[Mad Scientist's Beautiful Daughter|his daughter]] and [[Professor Guinea Pig|himself]].

* ''[[To Aru Kagaku no Railgun]]'' reveals {{spoiler|Telestina}} as the subject of experiments by her grandfather.

* Professor Watabe of ''[[Psychic Academy]]'' treats his daughter Mew like this. It's so extreme that ''he never bothered to name her'': Mew Baurra is the first two pieces of her Aura Code, not an actual name. She is technically nameless until Ai arbitrarily gives her a name... when she's about 16. Watabe's experiments grant her considerable power - at the cost of her powers being uncontrollable while in certain mental states, capable of damaging her own health if she uses them too much, and the sprinklers that went off whenever she lost control during experiments and set the room on fire gave her a crippling fear of rain.

* The ''[[Code Geass]]'' novels seem to take this route, a bit: {{spoiler|Nunnally's hinted at, but never explained in the anime, psychic powers}} are a result of experimentation with Geass while she was in the womb, and her {{spoiler|psychosomatic blindness}} was an attempt to get her to use those abilities. For the record, they seem to be {{spoiler|reception-only touch telepathy and some sort of sensory ability.}} Considering the number of elements added to the second series from other spin-offs - specifically, Lost Colour's Knight Of Nine, and Cornelia's two wing-girls who join the Valkyrie squadron after her disappearance - it's not completely impossible that it was added into the background. Just look through the two seasons and count how often {{spoiler|Nunnally}} seems to be able to detect something that she shouldn't really be able to.

* ''[[Cyborg 009]]'''s Ivan Whiskey was experimented on by his father Gamo and turned into Cyborg 001, a [[Psychic Powers|powerful psychic]]. Because he was converted into a cyborg when he was just a few months old, he'll be [[Not Allowed to Grow Up|stuck in the body of an infant]] ''forever''. This is also a case of {{spoiler|[[Love Makes You Evil]], as Gamo first converted Ivan in order to [[Ill Boy|save his life]]}}.

** If one includes the 2007 adaptation of ''[[Skull Man]]'', then {{spoiler|Black Ghost is actually Joe/009's ''father''}}, though neither is aware of this.

* Richard Impossible of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' at the very least uses his brother in law, whose skin ignites in fire when in contact with air as a power source. Also Dr. Venture uses his sons basically as walking organ banks and had dozens of clones of them, until all the clones were destroyed.

* This is the explanation Dr. Paradigm gives as to how the [[Street Sharks]] came about - that their evil scientist father mutated them into shark/human hybrids. Subverted in that the heroes all know full well that Paradigm was the one who mutated them.
