History Main / HoneyTrap

* [[Franchise/MassEffect Commander Shepard]] is the honey trap [[spoiler:for Morinth in Samara's loyalty mission.]]

* In ''StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty'', Tosh refers to [[spoiler: Ariel Hanson]] as bait and/or a trap several times. On the one hand, he's psychic, so he ought to know -- but on the other hand, he's also quite possibly violently psychotic (and [[spoiler: Hanson]] is the one who tells you he might be violently psychotic -- it's complicated). The jury's still out on what exactly the truth is/was.

* Played with in AlphaProtocol, where the player needs an attractive female to get close to a man. He can suggest she employ her (not inconsiderable) sex appeal or that she use her skill as a reporter. Suggesting she play seductress actually leads to her making a snarky comment about always wanting to be someone's HoneyTrap and weakens your relationship with her. Playing up her professional qualifications makes her consider the PlayerCharacter more favorably.

* TheBill featured several storylines about women acting as honeytraps, including a gang of prostitutes who lured wealthy businessmen to hotel rooms before drugging them and stealing their money and laptop, and a gangster's girlfriend who picked up men in nightclubs; she and her girlfriends then robbed them.

* The compromising-position-plus-photograph type happens to Stone in ''CityOfAngels''.

** She was only partly successful in the case of the elder Dr. Jones, in that he slept with her, but did not (as he pointed out to his son) trust her. Indy, OTOH, fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

* ''Film/{{Heartbreakers}}'' is all about this trope.

* The Comicbook/BlackWidow originally got her start as an IronMan villain, sent by the Soviets to seduce him in order to learn his secrets.

* The ''LeagueOfLegends'' champion [[GorgeousGorgon Cassiopeia]] specialized in this. She would seduce ambassadors who came to visit her father, the second most powerful man in Noxus, and lure out all their secrets. This backfired on her when she tried it on a [[GrimUpNorth Freljordian]] ambassador. He refused to reveal anything until she swore an oath of secrecy upon a runed blade - after which he let himself be embraced by her. When she later went to report the information to her father, she broke the oath. As a result, she went through an agonizing transformation into the gorgon we see her as today.

* [[spoiler:Elizabeth Swan]] in ''Film/PiratesOfTheCaribbean'', where [[spoiler:she thanks and kisses Jack Sparrow for coming back to save them. As they near a mast, she deliberately chains him; this is because the Kraken is after Jack only, so she decides that Jack be trapped and eaten instead of the entire crew]].

* Done with a twist in ''Enchantress''[[hottip:*:Beatrice Small]]. A slave trader sells a female slave to an innkeeper in the Saxon British Isles. The goal is for the slave to spread tales of the luxury and wonder of the East, so that the next year when the trader comes around, young women will willing go with him into slavery.[[hottip:*:''And it's worked before''.]]

* Honey traps were one of the most common missions for female {{ninja}}, or ''kunoichi''. They would be sent to seduce an important target, and either interrogate him via pillow talk, use the threat of revealing the thing to blackmail him, or assassinate him during or after the deed. ''Kunoichi'' were trained, like all ninja, in the creation and use of a wide variety of drugs and poisons, and many were trained in the use of a special kind of concealed dagger[[hottip:*:hidden as a ring]], making them deadly assassins even when naked.

* ''WesternAnimation/BewareTheBatman'': [[spoiler:"Wayne hooked. Awaiting instructions."]]

* Jennifer in ''Film/JennifersBody''.
* Sil in ''Film/{{Species}}''.

* A crossover fic between [[Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer Buffy]] and Stargate eventually has a small school built in Colorado to train the newly activated slayers with an injured Willow acting as the headmistress. Eventually rumors begin circulating in the nearby town of a strange school near the Cheyenne Mountain base full of young attractive women with the most common theory being that it's a large scale HoneyTrap school set up by the military. [[labelnote:*]] This isn't helped by the fact that there are military personnel constantly visiting the school or that the few public interactions the students have tend to result in them [[CurbStompBattle curb-stomping]] drunken idiots.]][[/labelnote]]

* [[MassEffect Commander Shepard]] is the honey trap [[spoiler:for Morinth in Samara's loyalty mission.]]

* One of these appears in a OneThousandWaysToDie case, seducing the political candidate that was TheRival to her boss and then siccing the press on him. She dies when she develops a ''fatal'' allergy that causes her a brain aneurysm through... sneezing too strongly.

** At the very beginning, Renzaburou had a very detailed ([[FetishFuel and hot]]) sex scene. It quickly became FanDisservice when the woman [[spoiler: turned out to be not just a DarkActionGirl sent to kill him... but a demon. More exactly, a spider woman with VaginaDentata and all. Renzaburou barely escapes with his life and she swears revenge, becoming a major antagonist in the movie.]]

* In ''RosarioToVampire'', a slug monster blackmails Kurumu into dating her with some photos he took of her. This works because Kurumu is noted to be very, '''very''' innocent, shy and chaste -- as far as [[HornyDevils succubi]] go.

* [[spoiler: Ribbons Almark]] from {{Gundam 00}} is the ''very'' rare HoYay version. In any way, he ''did'' pretend to care for his boss [[spoiler: Alejandro Corner]], playing on the other man's obvious trust and affection (and possible romantic/sexual feelings) for him... [[spoiler: only to betray him in the very last moment. FUCKING RIBBONS, instead.]]

* Played with in Andy Seto's TheKingOfFighters manhua. [[spoiler: Vice from the Orochi group not only attempts to seduce Kyo Kusanagi, but she does so while disguising herself as Kyo's girlfriend Yuki. It fails, however, as [[OutOfCharacterAlert he soon realizes]] that Yuki wouldn't throw herself at him in the circumstances they're in.]]

** While Tatiana in the above example drove the plot of the movie, Xenia in ''Film/GoldenEye'', as she is actually seen ''killing'' a man during sex so that her collaborators could steal his ID.

* This is part of O'Ren's backstory in ''Film/KillBill.'' Noticeably, [[spoiler: it happened when she was ''eleven''... because O-Ren used ''herself'' as a HT, since the killer of her parents was not just a {{Yakuza}} lord but a [[{{Lolicon}} pedophile]].]]
