[[Alice and Bob|Alice desires Bob.]] Well, more Bob's DNA than Bob, himself. She totally believes that her genes + his genes = [[Alice and Bob]] Squared - a child that contains the best of both of them. [[You Fail Biology Forever|Genetics tend not to work that way]], but don't tell that to Alice. In this scenario, it is almost always the female chasing the male's genes.<ref>In the absence of a surrogate mother, this ''is'' the significantly less [[Squick
A frequent variant is that [[The Omniscient Council of Vagueness]] want to get [[Alice and Bob]] together for the purpose of conceiving [[The Chosen One]] and/or a [[Tyke Bomb]]. This scenario almost always involves a [[Gambit Roulette]] or a [[Gambit Pileup]] if there are other OCOVs looking to prevent said conception.
To qualify as an example of this trope, the pursuit with intent to breed is the
[[The Chosen One]], [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]] and [[Tyke Bomb
Do not confuse with [[Playing with Syringes]].
Line 23:
** ''Tenchi'' spinoff ''[[Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari]]'': In the [[Trapped in Another World|world]] of Geminar, males who can pilot the [[Humongous Mecha]] are exceedingly rare, and are treated more like stud horses than warriors, expected to be paired with other pilots to create a stronger new generation of future pilots; political control of a strong male pilot is a large bargaining chip. Later, it's revealed that {{spoiler|1=the [[Neglectful Precursors]] who created the mecha also created ArtificalHuman pilots, and could even send them to other worlds to breed with the natives to create still stronger children to be brought back -- which is ''apparently'' how series hero Kenshi Masaki, Tenchi's half-brother, was conceived.}}
* In the [[Hentai]] anime ''DNA Hunter'', Mai and her co-workers are basically contracted to carry out this trope: they sleep with specific men in order to obtain sperm for female clients. Mai herself is an more benign example, since her fiancee Yuji died in an accident and she's working to get enough money to have a procedure done that will allow her to use Yuji's DNA (extracted from a cigarette) to have his child.
* Becomes a major plot point in ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'', where budding [[Mad Scientist]] Meeth Silver Ballanche uses a sample of Sword Saint Douglas Kaien's DNA to impregnate herself. Their offspring, [[Overly Long Name|Maximum HOLTFORS Ballanche Kaien]] does indeed grow up to be the ultimate lifeform and even ascends to become a member of the series' small collection of [[Physical God
* {{spoiler|Ringo Oginome}}'s real goal and the corollary of {{spoiler|1=her "Project M" (in which "M" = "maternity")}} in ''[[Mawaru Penguindrum]]''. {{spoiler|Ringo's dead sister Momoka had planned her whole life with the goal of being happy with her boyfriend Tabuki, culminating with her writing in her diary that she and Tabuki would have kids. Desperate to get her and Momoka's parents back together, Ringo took up Momoka's goals to [[My Sibling Will Live Through Me|"become Momoka"]] and mend her broken family life, therefore she wanted to be impregnated by Tabuki. [[Plucky Girl|And she didn't]] [[Attempted Rape|stop at ANYTHING]] to try getting her "happy ending"... at least until her friend Shouma [[What the Hell, Hero?|LOUDLY called her out on it]] and then [[Taking the Bullet|got hit by a car to protect her]].}}
Line 37:
* One ''[[XXXenophile]]'' story involved the Devil finally getting his chance to produce the Anti-Christ, and picking his "perfect couple" at a singles' bar. {{spoiler|And then God keeps talking about how cute and innocent they are, the Devil keeps pushing them to get kinkier as a result, and the astrologically correct time passes without the couple ever engaging in vaginal intercourse -- meaning no Anti-Christ was conceived.}}
* After Thor gave up his soul to save Valkyrie in ''Ultimatum'', Hela the Norse goddess of the underworld wanted him to give her a son. In return, she promised him a favor. The day after the deed, Thor demanded a means to return to the living world, she said that it would require someone else to die in his place. When Thor threatened to kill her to fulfill the requirement, Hela then revealed that she was already heavily pregnant with his son thanks to the fluid nature of time in the underworld. She remarks that their child is already a strong warrior given the way he kicks.
* In ''Red Robin'' #12, it was revealed in [[The Stinger]] that everything Ra's Al Ghul did in the series up till that point was to test Tim Drake. Ra's now knows that Tim will sire a worthy
Line 87:
* As the [[Kid With the Remote Control]], ''you'', yes you, are invoking this trope (by orchestrating it) in every ''[[Pokémon]]'' game (starting from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver|Gold & Silver]]). As many powerful moves can only be passed on via breeding, you'll likely find yourself flinging two hapless Pokemon in a pen together and patiently waiting for them to get it on. [[What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?]]?
* In ''[[Mass Effect 2]]'', this turns out to be the motivation of {{spoiler|the Reapers}}, who do this to ''entire species''.
* ''[[Fire Emblem Jugdral|Fire Emblem Seisen No Keifu]]'' sees [[Big Bad|Manfloy]] hunt down the descendants of Lopto in order to breed them together, thereby providing a host for the evil god. {{spoiler|He succeeds.}} This incestuous evil plan works because genetics ''[[A Wizard Did It|do]]'' [[A Wizard Did It|work that way in the game]]. The whole thing is played very much for the [[Squick]], and to show just how much of an [[Complete Monster|irredeemable bastard Manfloy is]] because a) one of the required children is {{spoiler|''[[I Have Your Wife|your wife]]'' (or better said, the main character Sigurd's wife and one of the local [[White Mage
Line 96:
** Also Toki's Internet girlfriend.
* On ''[[The Cleveland Show]]'', Cleveland runs into a woman who had a crush on him in high school and starts hanging out with her because of the boost to his ego. Eventually she drugs him, ties him to her bed naked, puts on a pair of latex gloves... let's just say the finale involves a fertility doctor, a turkey baster, and, for some reason, [[Noodle Implements|hot air balloons.]]
* A slight variation in the DCAU: Amanda Waller wanted to create another Batman, but rather than do it the old-fashioned way, she hunted up a couple with similar psychological profiles to Bruce Wayne's parents, rewrote the father's spermies to match Bruce's DNA, then arranged to have the couple killed when the young proto-Bats reached the proper age. The assassin<ref>Whom the show heavily implied was [[Batman: Mask of the Phantasm|The Phantasm]]
