** In ''ComicBook/GreenLanternRebirth'' the events of Hal Jordan's crimes depicted in ''ComicBook/EmeraldTwilight'' were explained away as Jordan falling under the mind control of the evil entity, Parallax, who used Jordan's grief at the destruction of Coast City as his opportunity to do so.
** ''ComicBook/BrightestDay'': During the "Dark Things" JLA/JSA crossover arc, ANYONE on Earth possessing magical/elemental powers - hero, villain, or neutral, and no matter how minutely latent their powers may be - is in danger of being possessed by the Starheart's chaos. This naturally generates massive paranoia among the two teams working together to stop the madness.

** Scarab units in general take complete control over their hosts and their minds. The only exceptions are Blue Beetle, Sky Witness, and (later) Khaji-Kai.

* ComicBook/LadyBlackhawk was brainwashed by Killer Shark into becoming {{ComicBook/Blackhawk}}: During the villainous Queen Killer Shark in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} in Blackhawk, Zinda Blake (Lady Blackhawk) was captured by villainous Nazi operative Killer Shark, who used a chemical potion to brainwash her, forcing her to take up the identity of the costumed Queen Killer Shark. She battles her former comrades several times before she was freed of the effects of the potion. Later in ComicBook/BirdsOfPrey, she was captured again by Killer Shark (who was revealed to be the grandson of the original), help beat and it caught her teammate Huntress (Helena Bertinelli), lead Killer Shark to the original one treasure. Zinda was freed with some help from her teammate Helena Bertinelli, and Killer Shark was defeated. In Blackhawk, Zinda Blake Queen Killer Shark's personality was cold and ruthless to the point that she had no loyalty to Killer Shark, having abandoned him twice and even hinted outright betrayed him. While in Birds of Prey, Zinda Blake Queen Killer Shark's personality is entirely loyal to Killer Shark, with her being completely in love and devoted to him, to the point that it's implied that [[spoiler: she had a sexual relationship with the original Killer Shark when she was brainwashed.and is more than willing to sleep with the current Killer Shark while thinking he his grandfather.]]

* ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'':
** An old ''ComicBook/WorldsFinest'' comic in which Batman is brainwashed into being a sadistic warder at a prison for Franchise/{{Superman}} has him reflect that hypnotism cannot make anyone do something against their nature, before the narration explains "But this is ''super''-hypnotism, of a kind never before experienced by anyone on Earth!" (It's almost a shame that this was written in the days of simpler storytelling, as a modern telling of the story would have it revealed that Batman would certainly be a warder on Superman's prison if he thought Superman went rogue...)
** In ''ComicBook/DeathOfTheFamily'', Damian "Robin" Wayne finds himself facing...[[spoiler:his father Batman?! Ultimately subverted: it's a martial-arts master in costume who fell behind on a debt to Joker.]] However, Joker ''does'' come dangerously close to pulling this on [[spoiler:the entire Batfamily.]]
** ComicBook/{{Batgirl}} Cassandra Cain turning a villain in the mid-00's was explained away like mind-control induced by Deathstroke.
** In ''ComicBook/{{Gothtopia}}'', The Scarecrow has all of Gotham in a gas-induced hallucination, making them think everything is wonderful while attacking anyone who thinks otherwise. This includes the heroes, they eventually break free of the hallucinations and try to figure out what's going on.
** Jean-Paul Valley has what is known as The System, a deep brainwashing program used by the Order of St. Dumas for those chosen to be their Avenging Angel, ComicBook/{{Azrael}}. The trance is ''usually'' activated when the person dons the Azrael costume, turning them into an efficient, though very brutal, assassin. However, when Jean-Paul [[ComicBook/{{Knightfall}} took over for Bruce Wayne]], his first supervillain encounter happened to be the Scarecrow. When he got nailed by Crane's Fear Gas-coated barbs, the System kicked in to get him through it... and never shut off. This sent Jean-Paul over the edge as time passed, leading to him getting more and more brutal with his enemies, nearly killing ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}} when he tried to stop him and culminating in the death of Abattoir and Bruce Wayne needing to come back in order to fix things.
** In ''ComicBook/Batgirl2011'', Gretel's lobotomized victims kill while chanting "338" and variations thereof (Including "$3.38").
* ''ComicBook/{{Justice}}'': Most of the Second Generation of heroes -ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, ComicBook/{{Batgirl}}, ComicBook/{{Robin}}, ComicBook/WonderGirl, Aqualad, Captain Marvel Jr., ComicBook/MaryMarvel...- were mind-controlled by the ComicBook/{{Brainiac}}'s worms and forced to fight the Justice League.
* In ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' Vol 2, the Riddler did ''something'' to [[spoiler:Sue Dibny]] to convince her that she's in love with him and to attempt to blow up the Six.
* ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'':
** In ''ComicBook/TheSupergirlFromKrypton'', ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} brainwashes ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} into becoming one of his Furies and attacking her cousin.
** In ''Superman/Batman'' issue #77, Scarecrow's fear toxin makes Kara believe that Robin is her parents' killer Reactron so she fights him.
** In ''ComicBook/SupermanVsTheAmazingSpiderMan'', ComicBook/LexLuthor kidnapped a Masai warrior and brainwashed him into guarding his secret lair's hidden door.
** In ''ComicBook/AMindSwitchInTime'', Euphor transforms ComicBook/LoisLane into a witch and mind-controls her into attacking Superman.
** Downplayed in ''ComicBook/SupermanVsShazam''. Black Adam and the Sand Superman expose Superman and Captain Marvel to the "Judgment Ray", a device which distorts their judgment and causes them to attack each other irrationally.
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'':
** ComicBook/{{Superboy}} gets a heavy case of this in ''Teen Titans'', courtesy of his genetic progenitor Lex Luthor. Highlights include shaving his head, cutting an 'L' into his T-shirt, and kicking the shit out of the entire team.
** Originally Terra from ''[[ComicBook/TeenTitans The New Teen Titans]]'' arc "The Judas Contract" was a pure example of an unapologetically evil and antagonistic [[TheMole mole]]. A flashback from a 2000s comic decided to give her some more backstory and {{retcon}}ned it so that ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} had injected Terra with drugs to make her psychopathic, much like he later did with his daughter Ravager.
* In ''[[ComicBook/JonahHex Hex]]'', Jonah's girlfriend Stiletta was kidnapped and brainwashed into become a bloodthirsty competitor in the GladiatorGames. Jonah is later forced into the arena and Stiletta attempts to kill him.
* ComicBook/LadyBlackhawk was brainwashed by Killer Shark into becoming the villainous Queen Killer Shark in UsefulNotes/{{the Silver Age|of Comic Books}} and it was even hinted that [[spoiler: she had a sexual relationship with Killer Shark when she was brainwashed.]]
* ''Franchise/WonderWoman'':
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1942'': Kobra decided to craft his own personal ComicBook/{{Cheetah}}. To this end he placed Debbi inside of a monitor station, suspended from the ceiling by electric cables. Using a brainwashing technique involving holographic projections, Kobra exposed her to a barrage of violent images of ecological disasters. With every flickering image she was forced to witness, an electric charge was sent coursing through her body. Within a short period of time, the process drove Debbi Domaine irrevocably insane.
** ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'':
*** While ComicBook/{{Cheetah}} is far from a hero and fully capable of acting as a bloodthirsty monster all on her own she was developing a sort of friendship with Diana and ''hated'' Thomas Randolph when he zapped her with magic to make her into a mindless monsterous version of herself that would attack whomever he directed her to, which included Diana and ComicBook/{{Artemis}}.
*** During "The Witch and the Warrior" Circe transforms pretty much all the top male heroes and villains into animal mash-ups to be hunted down for sport, save Superman whom she brainwashes into trying to kill Wonder Woman.
* ''ComicBook/YoungJustice'':
** The team including ComicBook/{{Robin|Series}}, ComicBook/{{Superboy|1994}}, ComicBook/WonderGirl and Arrowette fall victim mind control that makes them fight ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} at one point, and she helps snap them out of it.
** ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} himself takes an interest in Secret's vast powers and manipulates her mind to make her fight alongside him against her friends and allies.
** At one point a cult worshiping the evil goddess Kali does this to ''a million children'' via a television show, and compels them to try and ''kill'' their parents.
