Child by Rape: Difference between revisions

 

'''[[No Real Life Examples Please]]'''

 

== Anime and Manga ==

* Wallflower from the ''[[New Mutants]]'' was conceived when her father used his pheromone powers (which Laurie would inherit) to seduce her mother.

** Purple Man fell for a girl and used his powers to seduce and marry her. [[Alpha Flight|Purple Girl]] was their daughter.

* In ''[[Green Arrow]]'' the villain [[Dragon Lady|Shado]] raped Oliver Queen after she shot him with an arrow and while he was delirious with fever from a medication, and reveals later that she had a son, Robert, as the result of the rape. Robert seems to be perfectly normal and not know the circumstances of his birth, but the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of the story come out when several later stories (especially those written by [[Judd Winick]]) treat the rape like Ollie ''consensually'' cheated on his longtime girlfriend and later (ex)wife [[Black Canary]], which has [[Double Standard Rape Female On Male|lots of problems]].

* Damian Wayne was conceived when Talia al Ghul drugged [[Batman]] and [[Double Standard Rape Female On Male|raped him]] explicitly to conceive an [[Heir Club for Men|heir]] for his greatest enemy, Ra's al Ghul. She didn't tell him about the baby's existence for ten years, after which she dumped the kid on Batman's lap. No wonder he and Damian have issues.

** Arthur could be considered this as well, since he was conceived under false pretenses, his father (Uther) magically disguised as his mother's real husband (Gorlois), who was being killed by Uther's men at the time. Ygraine does marry Uther, and according to all sources that comment they were very happy, but she sure wasn't pleased when she worked out what had just happened.

* ''[[Sir Apropos of Nothing]]'', whose lame leg is a clue to figuring out who raped his mother.

* Author [[VC Andrews]] tends to use this trope a lot, and often as backstory.

* In the ''[[Night Huntress]]'' series, [[Dhampyr|Cat's]] mother [[Abusive Parents|Justina]] was raped by a vampire, resulting in [[Human Mom Nonhuman Dad|Cat's conception]]. Avenging her mother's rape and atoning for her own existence is [[Heroic Bastard|Cat's]] primary motivation for [[Van Helsing Hate Crimes|killing all vampires]] in the first book. {{spoiler|Later we learn that Cat's father mind raped Justina only after the physical seduction had been completed, violating her mind and causing her to believe she'd been physically raped as well. Your mileage may vary on whether that's better or worse.}}

* Pegasus. He was Medusa's son-by-rape by Poseidon, and formed from her blood when she was slain by Perseus. [[Classical Mythology]] is like that.

* Would you believe that in classical mythology, good [[King Arthur]] was the product of a rape? [[Bed Trick|His father Uther Pendragon had a spell cast on him that made Ingraine think he was her husband]] (see the Literature section for more). Later on, his own half-sister Morgana would play the same trick on him, making their son Mordred a product of rape and incest as well as a [[Magnificent Bastard|bastard]] [[Bastard Bastard|in more ways than one.]]

 

 

* In ''[[Suikoden II]]'', Luca Blight's sister, Jillia, was the product of his mother being raped in front of him. This consequently sent Luca on his spiral into [[Ax Crazy|ax craziness]].

* Ayane from ''[[Dead or Alive]]'', whose biological father, Raidou (the [[Big Bad]] of the first game), raped the lover of his brother Shiden.

** [[Heroic Bastard|Alistair]] is stated to be such by {{spoiler|his half-sister}}. The truth is a bit more complex and only covered in the tie-in novels: {{spoiler|Alistair is the offspring of an affair between King Maric and an elven Grey Warden mage named Fiona. Since neither elves, mages, or Wardens are well-liked in Ferelden, and Alistair might be a threat to his half-brother Cailan's rule, covering up the truth of his heritage became very important.}}

* ''[[FEAR]] 2'', as {{spoiler|Alma}} becomes pregnant by {{spoiler|raping Backet while he's strapped into a machine.}} And then there's {{spoiler|Alma's other sons}}, as she was impregnated while in a medically-induced coma, only waking up when she was in labor.

* [[Equestria Chronicles|Fireflare]] is notable for being a ''well-adjusted'' child of rape.

** And now her wife has one on the way.
