* In 1994, the ''Disney Adventures Magazine'' ran a 5 part comic series titled ''[[The Legend of the Chaos God]]'', where each chapter featured the characters of a different Disney Afternoon cartoon series (''[[Tale Spin]]'', ''[[Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers (animation)|Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers]]'', ''[[Goof Troop]]'', ''[[DuckTales (1987)]]'', and finally ''[[Darkwing Duck (comics)|Darkwing Duck]]''), where they try to prevent an ancient sorcerer from escaping his crystal prison. Initially, the sorcerer is imprisoned in a ruby, fully conscious, while his magic powers are imprisoned within a gold setting where the ruby fits. The two are kept separate by being encased in a block of jade, but are taken out for examination. Eventually, through body possession, the sorcerer escapes, but is shortly put back in the Ruby. This time, he's buried at the bottom of Scrooge McDuck's Money Bin, "never to be opened, cataloged, only to be lost and forgotten, hopefully forever."
* The Hideshi Hino graphic novel ''Panorama of Hell'' featured the Narrator's older brother, a "fight freak" gangster who becomes comatose and later becomes a mewling, "moving bag of flesh". {{spoiler|The book ends with the Narrator killing his family to save them from hell. They all turn out to be dolls and puppets -- except for the brother, who is the corpse of a pig.}}
* Carnage, a rogue of [[Spider-Man (Comic Book)|Spider-Man]], was turned by the Silver Surfer into a statue that still lives and thinks, but cannot move, in order to arrest the rapid encroachment of stomach cancer into his body without the symbiote.

* This happened to [[The Juggernaut]] at the end of ''Amazing Spiderman # 230'', when [[Spider-Man]] buried him in tons of concrete.
* In ''[[Superman]]'' comics of the [[Silver Age]], the original version of the Phantom Zone fell into this trope. Phantom Zone prisoners couldn't even touch each other; they were condemned just to watch the material world until their sentences expired.
* The Deacon is paralyzed in the last issue of ''[[Ghost Rider
* In [[Green Lantern]] #50, it is revealed that Sinestro could still think while imprisoned as pure energy in the central battery.
{{quote|'''Sinestro''': Do you know what it was like inside the battery, Jordan? Reduced to less than a thought in that limbo? It's like having a maddening itch you can never scratch... Because there's nothing there. There's no you. That's what it was like, Jordan. And it wasn't... ''' very... ''' ''' [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|PLEASANT!]] '''}}
