As he is killing the last of the vigos, an Iktotchi, a species with innate telepathic abilities, tries to force his way into Maul's mind to find out who sent him. It backfires terribly--the sheer blackness of the Sith's mind ravages the vigo's without Maul even having to do anything to him.

* This is the premise of Comicbook/GhostRider's "Penance Stare" power. By looking into the eyes of a sinner, he forces them to experience all the pain they have inflicted onto others.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Watchmen}}'', this is the effect that [[spoiler:Ozymandias' cloned monstrosity has on several ''thousands'' of the people who survived the creature's explosion. Ozymandias actually had artists, musicians and writers come up with imagery and sounds so thoroughly alien and bizarre (without them knowing what they were doing) that when coded inside a "psychic shockwave" released by the creature in its death drove said thousands utterly insane]]. A particularly disturbing example briefly mentioned in a news report was [[spoiler:a woman that performed an abortion on herself because she was convinced her ''unborn child was eating her from the inside!'']]
* ''Comicbook/{{X-Men}}''. 'You feel no pain. You will go straight to a hospital. Remember nothing of this place. And every time you hear the words '''parsley''', '''intractable''' or '''longitude''', you will vomit uncontrollably for forty-eight hours.".' Seriously, don't piss off Emma Frost.
** Another of her famous tricks was punishing Dr. Kimura, a sadistic villain with an awful past as well as {{X-23}}'s abusive trainer, by making her forget the only person who was ever kind to her [[spoiler: before sending her out to kill everyone in the facility she worked on]].
** Frost ''is'' this trope. Her most awe-inspiringly grotesque act of Mind Rape was in Issue 17 of JossWhedon's AstoundingXMen, where she [[spoiler:traps Kitty Pride in what starts out as a LotusEaterMachine where she marries and bears Colossus' son... only for Professor X to declare the baby too dangerous for her to raise.

It takes several ''dozen'' near-death experiences for Kitty to get over the knee-jerk hatred she had for the rest of the X-Men remaining from the dream.]]
** Actually, ''ComicBook/{{X-Men}}'' is full of examples of MindRape, both by villains ''and heroes'' alike, from Professor X formatting {{Magneto}}'s brain, through Cassandra Nova forcing Beak to beat Beast an inch away from death with a baseball bat and mindraping Kitty, to Dark Phoenix punishing Mastermind's hunger for power by granting him omniscience.
** Cassandra Nova specifically was punished and contained by making her ''stupid'', while still conscious about having been previously a genius.
** Another example of one of Emma's more hilarious tricks was causing a group of anti-mutant protesters to orgasm uncontrollably.
** This is also how [[{{X-Man}} Nate Grey]] defeats Domino in ''AgeOfApocalypse''.
** When Jean catches Emma and Scott in bed, Emma's cavalier response provokes her to psychically tear Emma to shreds, making her relive her worst memories.
** When Chuck Austen needed an excuse for Lorna aka Polaris's [[DerailingLoveInterests seriously OOC behavior]] [[{{Yandere}} against Havok and Nurse Annie]], he came up with her having been unstable from a while already due to a previous and ''really'' massive MindRape. Said MindRape? [[spoiler: Being telepathically forced to witness the Sentinels's Massacre of Genosha, with the culprit being the aforementioned Cassandra Nova]]. It still wasn't enough for Austen to dig himself out of the huge hole he jumped in, though.
*** Considering that Alex and Annie had "psychically dated" while he was ''in a coma'', there's MindRape in ''how'' these dates came to be too. They were caused by Annie's son Carter, a boy with [[{{Telepathy}} telepathic powers]] who wanted a daddy so badly that he wasn't above forcing Havok to date his mother in his mind. Not that it helped the plot too much, Chuck.
* An example of an attempted physical rape that ends up as pure MindRape: in the 80s ''Captain Britain'' series, one of the concepts constantly explored in the series is {{Alternate Universe}}s. Well, a "Kaptain Briton" from an alternate universe where England is a totalitarian state switched places with ours, and in a scene infamous to this date, [[spoiler:he tried to rape Betsy Braddock, aka [[Comicbook/{{X-Men}} Psylocke]], Captain Britain's sister (and in a certain way, his own). Psylocke killed him in self-defense using her telepathic powers, still believing it was her own brother who tried to rape her.]] Needless to say, this experience fucked her up.

* This is the explanation for Dr. Light's VillainDecay in TheDCU. As revealed in ''IdentityCrisis'', while mindwipes were... tolerated (to protect secret identities), [[spoiler:a cabal in the League [[BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood decided to screw up Light's brain to change his personality]] to make him a near-HarmlessVillain. When {{Batman}} saw the personality changing, ''he'' was mind wiped too... of the previous ten minutes. While Dr. Light eventually retakes [[TakeALevelInBadass a level in badass]], Batman loses what little trust he had in the {{Justice League|OfAmerica}} and creates Brother Eye.]]

Nico is a very clear example of why you should ''always'' BewareTheNiceOnes.
* This is the modus operandi of the [[EmotionEater Psycho-Man]], an old [[Comicbook/FantasticFour Fantastic Four]] villain. He uses an emotion controlling device called the Control Box with [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin three buttons]] on the side labeled 'Fear', 'Doubt', and 'Hate'. He takes a sadistic pleasure in using it to instill the corresponding emotions in his victims.
** Doom has forced a number of different forms of this upon Reed Richards. The time when he repeatedly invaded Reed's dreams to turn him into a ManchurianAgent and make him turn his friends over to Doom for torture and imprisonment was one of the very few times Reed actually considered flat-out murdering Doom.
* From ''TheDarkness'':
--> '''[[BigBad Sonatine:]]''' Listen. Your mother was a prostitute, your father was her pimp. Start believing... NOW.
--> '''[[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished Bouncer:]]''' [[BigNo NO!]]
--> '''[[DistressedDamsel Jenny:]]''' What'd you do to him?
--> '''Sonatine:''' Rewrote his memory. Tremendous fun.
* ''TheUmbrellaAcademy'' - Essentially, ''The Apocalypse Suite'' arc would not have functioned without this trope.
** Most of Series 2, "Dallas" turned into mind rape for the readers. In a good way. If that is possible.
* ''Comicbook/TheSandman''. [[HighOctaneNightmareFuel Preludes and Nocturnes. 24 Hours. John Dee.]]
** Also, in a reminder that our "heroes" are [[MoralMyopia not always nice]], when a cop rightfully pulls Delirium over for reckless driving, she leaves him envisioning bugs all over him. [[FateWorseThanDeath "for ever and always"]]!
* In the ''StrontiumDog'' "Portrait of a Mutant" story, Johnny mind-rapes a couple of Kreelers under the guise of reading their minds to prevent them from revealing that he is Nelson Kreelman's son.
* In ''DarkEmpire'', Luke Skywalker joins the Emperor. It was the better option of a SadisticChoice, and he planned to subvert the cause from within. Things [[BecomingTheMask didn't work out as planned]], but when Leia's presence reminded him what he'd been trying to do, he tried to kill the Emperor. The Emperor survived, but didn't kill Luke, who could still be useful.
--> '''Emperor''': You. Are. ''Nothing.''
--> '''Luke''': Where am I?
--> '''Emperor''': ''Alone.''
--> '''Luke''': No - Help me-
--> '''Emperor''': There is no one. There is only the Dark Side.
--> '''Luke''': I... am... a Jedi. *he screams*
--> '''Emperor''': You are not Jedi. You are nothing. ''You have no name.''
--> '''Luke''': My name - is - ''Skywalker!'' *he screams again, louder*
--> '''Emperor''': YOU. HAVE. NO. NAME!
--> '''Luke''': I-
--> '''Emperor''': Listen to the Dark Side. You have no name.
--> '''Luke''': I have... *all the strain goes out of his voice. Dully:* no name.

* [[MartianManhunter J'onn's]] EvilTwin Malefic did this once to a fellow Green Martian. This was an unspeakable crime in Green Martian society since they are normally a very open telepathic race. To them this was the greatest violation of the open trust shared by their race possible. Malefic's punishment was severe indeed: his PsychicPowers were stripped away along with his memories of the event (so he couldn't get any sick pleasure from it).
* Telepathic mutant villain Mindscan's favored tactic in ''GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.
* WonderWoman villain Doctor Psycho virtually embodies this trope. (See: details [[Monster/DCAndVertigo here]].)
* ''{{Ultimate X-Men}}'': Rogue (working for Weapon X) steals Jean Grey's powers and makes Iceman relive an invasive surgery he experienced as a child, without the anasthesia.

* [[MartianManhunter J'onn's]] EvilTwin Malefic did this once to a fellow Green Martian. This was an unspeakable crime in Green Martian society since they are normally a very open telepathic race. To them this was the greatest violation of the open trust shared by their race possible. Malefic's punishment was severe indeed: his PsychicPowers were stripped away along with his memories of the event (so he couldn't get any sick pleasure from it).
* Telepathic mutant villain Mindscan's favored tactic in ''GuardiansOfTheGalaxy''.
* WonderWoman villain Doctor Psycho virtually embodies this trope. (See: details [[Monster/DCAndVertigo here]].)
* ''{{Ultimate X-Men}}'': Rogue (working for Weapon X) steals Jean Grey's powers and makes Iceman relive an invasive surgery he experienced as a child, without the anasthesia.

* In the ''{{Batman}}'' graphic novel ''TheKillingJoke'', the Joker brutally tortures Commissioner Gordon with images of the MonsterClown's torture of his daughter Barbara Gordon, AKA Batgirl, in an effort to prove that "one bad day" can drive anyone insane.
** In ''WesternAnimation/TheBatman'', the Joker gives a similar speech to police detective Ethan Bennett, while simultaneously terrorizing him with hypnosis and poisoning him with the chemicals that would turn him into the first Clayface.
** We can't forget ''BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'', [[spoiler:where mind rape was just ''one'' of [[MoralEventHorizon SEVERAL things]] that the Joker and Harley Quinn subjected young Tim Drake to, torturing and [[BrainwashedAndCrazy brainwashing him]] into becoming "J.J", the Joker's Mini Me. The effects of such a mind rape last until Tim's adulthood and are a BIG plot point in the movie.]]
