History Main / PeoplePuppets

* ''ChronoBox'': At some point, Kabane takes control of Otogi and Naonao, making Otogi masturbate too much and rape Naonao.

** Uryu Ishida turns ''himself'' into a puppet when he's been paralyzed by a toxin, using strings of spirit energy to move his body like a marionette.

** Either this or BrainwashedAndCrazy is being currently used by [[spoiler: the Vandereich]] to decimate [[spoiler: the Shinigamis that are a part of the MissionControl squads.]]

* Makima from ''Manga/ChainsawMan'' is able to do this to anyone who she believes is lesser than her, leaving her victims [[WhatDidIDoLastNight completely unable to remember what it was they did under her control after the task is completed]].

* ''WesternAnimation/TheGhostAndMollyMcGee'' has an interesting example in which [[FriendlyGhost Scratch]] possesses only half of Molly's body so they can both compete in a video game together.

* In ''VideoGame/LegoBatman'', the Riddler and the Mad Hatter can mind-control other characters; doing this to control some characters is required to clear some levels... and is kinda disturbing.

[[folder:Web Original]]

->''You will hear screaming.''
->''They stole their voices.''

* ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'': [[ComicBook/{{Zatanna}} Zatanna's]] Meter Burn version of the special move, Puppet Master, allows her to take control of her opponent's body, forcing them to walk right into her range of attack.

* This occurs literally in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' when The Monarch attaches strings to Dr. Venture's arms and legs and controls him with a giant robotic hand extending from his flying cocoon.

** In ''Anime/DigimonAdventure02TheBeginning'', [[spoiler:Lui’s fears about the Partner Digimon being slaves don’t come from nowhere as it’s made quite clear that Ukkomon has been using his powers to force Lui’s abusive mother and father into acting like ideal and loving guardians. When Ukkomon vanishes his parents collapse into husks like marionettes with strings cut]].

* Puppetmon from ''Anime/DigimonAdventure'' did this trope to the letter: invisible strings and all.

* Caine does this in Literature/{{Gone}}. Lampshaded when a character says that he's never before heard of a telekinetic who can use his power on people, instead of just objects.
* Voldemort does this to Harry in ''[[Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire Goblet of Fire]]''. To make Harry bow for him, Voldy first uses MindControl, but Harry knows how to resist. So Voldemort just makes him do it by body control.

* [[DuelingMovies Two movies]] use this in different ways: ''Film/{{Gamer}}'' is basically a FirstPersonShooter where you are the person and a death row inmate is the shooter -- and one shooter wants out. Less related is ''Film/{{Surrogates}}'', which is basically ''VideoGame/SecondLife'' in real life, only the "avatars" are slightly overdone robots. Someone has found a way to kill the "users" when they kill the robots, which was previously impossible (there is a grizzled detective, but he's a long-time Surrogate user and probably not as technophobic as, say, Will Smith's character in ''Film/IRobot'').

* ''Film/KillerKlownsFromOuterSpace'' -- one of the Klowns kills police sergeant John Vernon and turns him into a ventriloquist dummy.
* ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse''
** ''Film/BlackWidow2021'': The Widows can be remotely controlled by Dreykov with a simple push of a button, even if their mind resists, as seen when he orders one to [[PsychicAssistedSuicide end her own life, much to her horror]]. Later in the film, he achieves this by a special fragrance that allows him to control those who smell it, and has [[spoiler: Natasha]] completely unable to even land a hit on him. [[CapturedOnPurpose Or so he thinks...]]

** ''Film/IronMan2'' has [[spoiler: Ivan Vanko controlling the War Machine suit with Rhodey unable to do anything to stop him]].
** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome'': When Doctor Strange [[AstralProjection pulls Peter's spirit out of his body]] in order to grab the box without difficulty, his spider-sense apparently does this to ''himself'', constantly pulling the box out of the way of Strange with Peter's conscious spirit having no control over this.

* The titular ''Film/{{Nanny McPhee}}'s'' first spell does this to the children, forcing them to ''continue'' misbehaving against their will, putting their youngest sibling in very immediate danger, and forces them all to say "Please, Nanny [=McPhee=]" before she breaks the spell. This alone is enough to scare all the children except for Simon into listening to her.
* In ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet3DreamWarriors'', Freddy Krueger does this literally to poor Philip -- first animating one of his own carved puppets, then graphically stringing him along by his bloody tendons until he [[DrivenToSuicide forces him to leap from a high tower]].

* ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'': [[spoiler: Theodora]] manages to do this to Oscar after becoming The Wicked Witch Of The West, forcing him to move like a puppet on a string through the air whilst mocking [[CerebusCallBack his offer to dance with her earlier in the film]].

* ''Film/{{Thunderbirds}}''. Used for a MythologyGag when The Hood uses his PsychicPowers to force Brains to walk like a UsefulNotes/{{Supermarionation}} parody.

* In ''Literature/TheBlackSwan'', Creator/MercedesLackey's retelling of ''Theatre/SwanLake'', Odile is a sympathetic character who is completely under her father's magical control when she dances with Siegfried. She [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal turns on him]] shortly thereafter.
* In Creator/TomKratman's ''Literature/{{Caliphate}}'', there are chips that can be implanted in a person's head that allow the person so equipped to be operated remotely, [[spoiler:as is done with Bernie Matheson and Zheng Ling]]. It used to be required that [[ExpandedStatesOfAmerica Imperial States of America]] agents for the successor agency to the UsefulNotes/{{CIA}} had one implanted until the Chinese demonstrated how they could be hacked, much to the worse for the ISA. Chip security was improved, but there still remains a strong aversion to "chipping", as the implantation procedure is called, among ISA agents.

* In Brandon Sanderson's ''Franchise/{{Mistborn}}'' series, Kandra (protean beings who can assume the form of any body they eat) and Koloss (hulking, bestial {{Super Soldier}}s) are vulnerable to this. A sufficiently powerful Mistborn can establish control with a potent EmotionBomb and can control their actions remotely thereafter. [[spoiler:Since they were created [[WasOnceAMan from humans]] by their master, the Lord Ruler, this weakness is probably intentional.]]
* In ''Literature/{{Ravenor}}'' novels, Ravenor does this on a regular basis -- usually to friends who are aware of it. His crippling injuries require it in order for him to do many things.

* In Tad Williams' book ''Stone of Farewell'', the main character comes across Skodi, a child-like young woman tending to a group of orphans. She turns out to be a witch, and she uses her powers to take control of Simon's body. (And no, not for the reasons you're thinking of; Simon thankfully dodges that bullet although she does plan to hand him over to the BigBad in order to gain great power.) Her accidental death during an unholy ritual breaks her hold over Simon.

* To a lesser degree, in ''Literature/TheWarriorsApprentice'', Miles realizes that the mooks in power suits are working with the default settings and are therefore vulnerable to factory override codes. He only performs small changes like slowly raising the temperature thermostat on one suit, reversing the catheter flow on another, and causing some of their weapons to misfire, knowing that if they realize what he's doing, they'll just cut out their comms.

** In the episode "The Shakespeare Code", the Carrionites use a puppet to control Shakespeare.
** In the episode "The Five Doctors" the Coronet of Rassilon is used to turn others into people puppets.
** In the episode "Midnight" an alien entity takes control of the Doctor's body, paralyzing him and forcing him to repeat everything it says.
** In "Asylum of the Daleks", several people are turned into "Dalek Puppets", several of which are unaware that they are being controlled.

* In the ''Series/{{Fringe}}'' episode "Of Human Action", [[spoiler: Tyler Carson]] has this power, although he does a pretty thorough job of making other people look like the bad guys.

* ''Franchise/PowerRangers'': The tactic of a MonsterOfTheWeek or two. The ''[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaStorm Ninja Storm]]'' seasons had ''two'' major villains who could do it, though the usage of it was different (Choobo used it to control the Rangers, Vexacus used it to smash 'em into each other a lot and then drop 'em.)
** ''Series/PowerRangersSPD'': One episode has Shifter implant a key inside of the Red Ranger that allows him to control his body with a remote control, later using him as a [[HostageSituation hostage]] in order to block the way of their weapons and turn his own against them.

** Happens to Lister in the episode "[[Recap/RedDwarfSeasonVDemonsAndAngels Demons & Angels]]". He still has the power of speech, resulting in memorable lines such as: "Look out -- I'm gonna kill ya!"

** ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS3E10PlatosStepchildren Plato's Stepchildren]]", when the Platonians used telekinesis to control the Enterprise landing party's bodies (but not their minds). Their control was so great that they could make them speak. And in Spock's case, laugh or cry. They were also very keen on the PowerPerversionPotential aspect of this particular trick.
** In the ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekTheNextGenerationS1E22SkinOfEvil Skin of Evil]]", [[MonsteroftheWeek Armus]] uses what is apparently telekinesis to control Data's body. Since he's an android, Data is much calmer about it than most victims of this trope.
** ''Series/StarTrekVoyager''. The episode "[[Recap/StarTrekVoyagerS1E12Cathexis Cathexis]]" has an alien moving from person to person on Voyager forcing them to do things -- those concerned have no memory of the event afterwards. [[spoiler:Inverts the usual trope in that the puppeteer is actually the good guy, a member of the crew who's been forced from his body and is now roaming the ship as an EnergyBeing, trying to stop them from going into an alien trap.]]
* ''Series/{{Warehouse 13}}'': Cecil B. Demille's riding crop grants the user total control of another person's body.

* Powerful psykers in ''TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}'' are known to do this on occasion.

* ''Theatre/{{Be More Chill}}'' has the [[AIIsACrapshoot SQUIP]], which, once [[IngestingKnowledge digested and placed inside someone's mind]], can control their motor skills, nerves, and vocal cords in order to help the host become more popular. [[spoiler: However, what it truly wants is total control of the world and will remotely hijack them if necessary to achieve it's goals.]] This, of course, happens to Jeremy near the end of the musical.

* During the endgame of ''VideoGame/BravelySecond'', [[spoiler: the main party and [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou you]] are subject to this by the final boss, Providence, who utilizes this ability to manipulate the medium of the game, making the party perform actions that would benefit him rather than hinder him, and worst of all -- he threatens to make you [[DeletionAsPunishment delete your own save files]]. Luckily, [[BigDamnHeroes Yew steps in to ensure that doesn't happen.]]]]
* ''VideoGame/BreathOfFireII'' has a village where all the villagers have been taken over by facehuggers (looks just like those from ''Franchise/{{Alien}}''), that control people. They can be removed so that you can save the villager behind, however.
** Or, you can be a rat-bastard and kill the villager. He/she will have less HP.

* ''VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok'': Binding spells are able to do this, taking command of the victim's body and incapacitating them in the process. One is placed on [[spoiler: Freya by Odin]] that prevents her from going to other realms which must be undone. [[spoiler: Odin manages to catch Kratos and Artreus in one]] and begins to [[EvilGloating gloat about their defeat in their faces]], but [[spoiler: ironically becomes victim to one himself by a freed Freya, [[PsychicStrangle who proceeds to strangle him with one]]]].
--> [[spoiler: '''Freya''']]: [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame Think you're the only one]] [[ATasteOfTheirOwnMedicine who can craft a binding spell?]]
* The Puppet Master of Newerth (from ''VideoGame/HeroesofNewerth'') has one of skills do this; Puppet Show. He makes the target automatically attack a new target, friend or foe. Suffice to say, several of his in-game quotes reflect his line of work.

* ''Franchise/MassEffect'' -- '''ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL'''
** The novel, ''Mass Effect: Retribution'', goes into even greater terrifying detail about this. Not only do the [[spoiler:Reapers assume direct control over you, but they don't particularly care about the harm/damage done to you outside of what suits their purposes. If they need your body to overtax itself in order to perform a task, they'll do it. Even when they're forced to release control and recharge themselves, they can still force it to release hormones and endorphins into your brain in order to control your mood and prevent you from killing yourself or put you to sleep until they've recovered. And even if you're ''aware'' of this entire process, there's absolutely nothing you can do about it.]]

* Screaming Mantis from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4'' manipulates the {{nanomachines}} in peoples bodies to control them like puppets (literally -- you can see faint strings coming from the victims). [[spoiler: Screaming Mantis is herself controlled by the ghost of Psycho Mantis, who himself often made puppeteer like hand motions when controlling Meryl in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.]]

* ''VideoGame/Persona4'': [[spoiler: Kunino-sagiri]] can do this to your party to make them attack you instead. This is expanded upon in ''Anime/Persona4TheAnimation'' where we get to see them actively struggle to control themselves and their Personas.

* [[spoiler:Jill]] in ''{{VideoGame/Resident Evil 5}}'' has become the victim of this by Wesker for the duration of the game.

* ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog'':
** ''VisualNovel/TheMurderOfSonicTheHedgehog'': [[spoiler:[[SentientVehicle The train itself, which is revealed to be a Badnik]]]], enforces this upon the Conductor. As [[spoiler:it]] has developed a {{Yandere}} complex, [[spoiler:it]] wishes for him to stay as [[spoiler:it's co-conductor]] forever, and ensures this by wrapping wires around his body and forcing him to operate the train like a puppet.
** ''VideoGame/SonicShuffle'': Forcegems can be used to this effect to make other players move a select amount of spaces forward on the game board.

** In ''VideoGame/{{Deltarune}}'', it's revealed that [[spoiler: ''the Player'' been doing this to Kris the whole time through their SOUL, and it's only after it's forcibly removed from their body that they, or some unknown force, takes control away from them]].
** Another example in Chapter 2 involves Queen's usage of her wires, which she uses to both [[TheCorruption corrupt innocent programs into Werewires]] and control people like [[spoiler: Berdly]] into doing her bidding in her boss fight.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'': This entry in the series carries the status effect of Control, which can make enemies your allies instead. However, this can also be used on party members, forcing them to lose control of themselves and attack at random.
** ''VideoGame/XenobladeChronicles3'': [[spoiler: M]] has the ability to take control of party members' bodies and force them to attack each other, leaving them completely unaware of what they were doing afterwards.

* ''VisualNovel/Danganronpa2GoodbyeDespair'': [[spoiler: Peko Pekoyama's]] execution consists of [[ManipulativeBastard Monokuma]] controlling her body with a doll as she charges through a horde of samurai. It gets worse as she's made to injure [[spoiler: [[KillTheOnesYouLove Fuyuhiko's eye]]]] in the process, and dies being stabbed [[DiedInYourArmsTonight while holding him in her arms]].
* ''VisualNovel/FateStayNight'': Caster Medea is able to create strings composed of mana that can be used to control the actions of others, even going as far as freezing people's throats so they can't so much as scream.

** Denoted as "[[BlackMagic Bloodbending]]", some waterbenders are able to control the fluid in people's bodies [[{{Lunacy}} under a full moon]]. This is considered taboo, if not completely wrong and unnatural, and not even thought of by most waterbenders -- it was invented by [[spoiler: Hama]] prior to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the original series]] when she was that desperate to escape her prison and take revenge on the Fire Nation.

* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman1987'': The White Magician sells an unsuspecting Brian Elliot a bit of supercomputer that starts merging with the teen's body which he then uses to control said body and frame the terrified teen as an up-and-coming supervillain and then leave Brian covered with debilitating fatal burns after their "fight" before he has a chance to defend himself where anyone not allied with the White Magician can hear him.

* An episode of ''Series/WonderWoman1975'' has a powerful psychic take [[TheyDiedBecauseOfYou revenge on Wonder Woman for the death of his brother]] and forces her to perform a [[Film/WonderWoman less iconic version of her minefield walk]] that nearly ends up with her being blown to smithereens.

* ''Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': Denoted as "[[BlackMagic Bloodbending]]", some waterbenders are able to control the fluid in people's bodies [[{{Lunacy}} under a full moon]]. This is considered taboo, if not completely wrong and unnatural, and not even thought of by most waterbenders -- it was invented by [[spoiler: Hama]] prior to [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender the original series]] when she was that desperate to escape her prison and take revenge on the Fire Nation.

* ''WesternAnimation/BuzzLightyearOfStarCommand'': [[PunnyName NOS-4-A2]], a [[OurVampiresAreDifferent robotic vampire]], is able to bite into the suits worn by space rangers, enabling him to control them while they're inside. Fortunately for Mira, as she has the ability to phase through objects, she's able to escape no problem.

* ''WesternAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls2019'': [[PsychoElectro Livewire]] is able to do this with people who use {{Powered Armor}} by "hot-wiring" their suits and controlling them while they're inside. Bumblebee and the Blue Beetle have both been on the receiving ends of this, and both result in them dancing uncontrollably.
* ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'': You Do Dolls can make the person resembling them do just about anything, even going as far as forcing them to say things they otherwise wouldn't.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "The Tan Aquatic with Steve Zissou", Peter goes on a bullying spree, and he ties strings to paraplegic Joe while forcing him to sing [[Film/TheSoundOfMusic "The Lonely Goatherd"]].

-->'''Dib''': Arm control nerve?\\
'''Zim''': Yes! Arm control nerve!\\
'''Dib''': In my... belly?\\
'''Zim''': '''YES!'''\\
'''Dib''': Humans don't ''have'' arm control nerves...\\
'''Zim''': '''Do not question me! I control your arms!'''
* ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction'' has an episode where Toyman outfits Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and Cyborg with devices that can control their every movement for the purpose of reenacting a fighting game in real life. However, [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame Cyborg challenges him to a match using the real heroes on the condition that they'll be set free if he wins]]. Naturally, he obliges and [[HilarityEnsues it goes about as well as you'd expect]].
* ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', episode "Ill Suited". Professor Dementor uses a remote control device to seize control of Kim's [[ClothesMakeTheSuperman superpowered battlesuit]]. Unfortunately, Ron had stolen it from her closet to make himself a football hero. This leads directly into Kim and Ron's first fight, a room-destroying brawl that Ron is helpless to stop. Later Dementor gets a taste of his own medicine, leading to the quote above.
** The Neuro-Compliance Chip in [[Recap/KimPossibleS1E17TheTwinFactor "The Twin Factor"]] is revealed to be this when Shego states in a fit of rage after being freed from it that she was aware of everything that was going on while under it's control. Especially [[TheBore Drakken's annoyingly boring rambling]].
* In the ''WesternAnimation/LoveDeathAndRobots'' episode Bad Traveling, the thanapod creature uses the corpse of one of the sailors to speak and make its demands.

* ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'': In the episode, [[FantasticVoyagePlot "Journey To The Center Of Candace"]], when stuck inside Candace's body thanks to a misunderstanding and a miniaturizing submarine, Phineas gets the idea to make her nauseous so she can cough them up and they can escape by hanging her from monkey bars, taking control of her arms and legs to do so, much to her dismay. [[PreemptiveApology He does let out an apology before it happens though]].
** Another example happens in the episode "Brain Drain" where Doofenshmirtz uses his newest invention, The De-Volition-Inator, to control Perry's body as long as he's wearing it. Later, Phineas and the gang obliviously manage to get control of it, thinking [[AndYouThoughtItWasAGame that it's just part of their video game]] and treat Doofenshmirtz as a boss, beating him up with Perry in the process. After it's come off, Doof ends up accidentally crashing a party his daughter's attending. [[SaveTheVillain However, out of the goodness of Perry's heart, he puts the Inator on Doof to help impress his daughter]]. The rest [[MemeticMutation is history...]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' Season 5; shortly after Aku discovers [[spoiler: Ashi is his biological daughter, he begins manipulating her to fight Jack while she pleads for the Samurai to kill her.]]

** Combined with OfCorpseHesAlive in one episode in which Homer and Mr. Smithers believe Mr. Burns to be dead and use him as a puppet to fool a shareholders meeting. Luckily, the scheme has the inadvertent effect of restarting Mr. Burns' heart.
** In the episode ''Bye Bye Nerdie'', Lisa isolates the "nerd" scent which compels bullies to beat up nerds. She demonstrates the effect in class by spraying local boxer Drederick Tatum with the scent. Nelson involuntarily gets out of his seat and starts punching Tatum repeatedly, sobbing and apologizing all the while.
* In his first appearance, Plankton goes into WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants's head and installs controls directly into his brain, so that he can literally drive him into stealing a Krabby Patty.
* A rather nasty example occurs in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'', in which ''the corpse'' of a clone trooper in poorly-lit cargo bay is used as a puppet by a large spider-like droid in order to trick the rest of the squad.[[note]]They didn't fall for it.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverseFuture'': While possessing [[WillingChanneler White Diamond]], Steven begins to puppeteer her body and after recollecting all of the trauma she put him through, threatens to bash her own head through a pillar as she looks on with absolute horror.

-->'''Jinmay''': I... I can't stop my arm!
-->'''Sakko''': Because I control it.
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'', Slade gives Terra a battle suit that links their nervous systems, allowing him to assist her in using her powers. When Terra decides to leave Slade, he reveals [[ClingyCostume it fused itself to her skin]] and allows him to control her body completely. Terra manages to override it and kill Slade ([[BackFromTheDead for the moment]]).

* This occurs literally in ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'', when The Monarch attaches strings to Dr. Venture's arms and legs and controls him with a giant robotic hand extending from his flying cocoon.
* ''WesternAnimation/WildKratts'': "Flight Of The Draco" has one of the brothers getting captured by an evil fashion designer and put under a beam that forces him to catwalk wearing one of her tacky outfits, no less.

* In the ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'' episode "[[Recap/BatmanBeyondS2E4LostSoul Lost Soul]]", a DigitalGhost villain downloads itself into Terry's Batsuit, taking control of it while Terry is inside.

* In ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyond'', a one-off GhostInTheMachine villain downloaded itself into Terry's Batsuit, taking control of it while Teri was inside.

* ''ComicBook/{{Empowered}}'' has Mindf**k, who along with her brother uses the "hijack motor control and leave them conscious" version. [[spoiler:Mindf**k was forced by her brother to remove her eyes and tongue when she was younger and used it herself to [[HeroicSacrifice force Emp out of a single use portal]] when they were both trapped on a [[ColonyDrop space station undergoing reentry]].]]

* This is the exact concept of the ComicBook/{{OMAC}}s in ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'': an army of veritable {{Cape Busters}} composed by unwilling human hosts possessed by a [[TheVirus cybernetic nanovirus]] granting them several physical enhancements, but submerging their conscious mind, replaced by a permanent uplink to a [[AIIsACrapshoot rampant A.I.]].
* Some of the villains in ''ComicBook/{{Sleepwalker}}'' did this, including the demonic minions of Sleepwalker's archnemesis Cobweb, either through trying to force their victim's conscious mind to do what they said, or simply by suppressing the victim's will and taking over their bodies. Sleepwalker was able to break the villains' control and expel them from their victims' minds by zapping the human hosts with his warp beams. Unlike a normal situation, when being zapped with Sleepy's warp beams subjects a living entity to severe {{body horror}} and a nasty mental trauma, the humans possessed by Cobweb's demons didn't seem to suffer any ill effects, possibly because the demons had completely suppressed their minds and took the brunt of the blast.

** After being captured by Eggman, the mad doctor uses a device that's able to control him and force him into battling the Freedom Fighters. [[CasualDangerDialogue However, he seems to take this pretty well judging by how casually he talks during it.]] Then again, this ''is'' [[DeadpanSnarker Sonic]] we're talking about, so perhaps it's not too surprising.

* So can Professor X, though it is rather harder for him, and he only uses it as an absolute last resort (except in ''ComicBook/UltimateXMen'', in which he's a bit freer with his mojo).

** ''Film/SpiderManNoWayHome''': When Doctor Strange [[AstralProjection pulls Peter's spirit out of his body]] in order to grab the box without difficulty, his spider-sense apparently does this to ''himself'', constantly pulling the box out of the way of Strange with Peter's conscious spirit having no control over this.
