4* In the second ''[[WebVideo/ImAMarvelAndImADC I'm a Marvel... And I'm a DC]]'' story "Happy Hour", The Joker's plan essentially involves using a mind-controlling cyborg to rewrite the memories of all the superheroes to make them DarkerAndEdgier by putting them under the delusion that everyone they ever loved had been brutally murdered right in front of their eyes. He also uses that android to psychically torment Green Goblin by forcing him to learn the entire Portuguese language... all at once.
5* On [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/supplemental-report-239-b-192 this page]] of the ''Website/SCPFoundation'' wiki, Dr. Alto Clef explains that he is Satan, has just gotten God put in a coma, and that Heaven is empty and waiting for his legions to invade. He then reveals that this isn't true. Then that he is a notorious liar, and he could be lying on ''any or all'' of these points. Dr. Clef then [[CutHimselfShaving falls against the table, managing to hit his head nine times]].
6** There's plenty of SCP artifacts that will do this to anybody unfortunate enough to encounter them. For instance, [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1127 SCP-1127]] is a collection of films which all permanently alter the personalities of the people who watch them; one film will change your sense of humour so you'll find things like autopsy logs, graphic war footage and videos of public suicide hilarious; one makes you a [[AxCrazy dangerous psychopath who will hurt others out of "curiousity"]] (people exposed to this one have to be terminated as they pose such a great danger to others); one leaves you with a crippling phobia of practically anything technological or man-made; the worst one is a film which leaves you with all sorts of weird sexual paraphernalia ranging from the relatively benign (voyeurism, klismaphilia) to the dangerously criminal (paedophilia, necrophilia, biastophilia).
7* Given that ''Website/{{Mortasheen}}'' is a horror take on the standard {{Mon}} setting, you could probably guess that this trope pops up a lot. It is most notable in the [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Devilbirds]], most of the [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]] (who have some level of hypnosis to lure their prey to them), and about half the creatures in the [[EldritchAbomination Unknown]] category.
8* ''Franchise/TheSlenderManMythos'': The Slender Man sometimes does this to people, perhaps when he feels they're resisting him too much, perhaps just as a side effect of his presence.
9* ''WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall'': In the story arc "A Story of Magic", [[RoboticPsychopath Mechakara]] and [[MultiversalConqueror Lord Vyce]] mentally torture Linkara into thinking that [[spoiler: he was the father of a [[PoweredByAForsakenChild girl sacrificed to create his magic gun]], and almost [[DrivenToSuicide drive him to suicide]]. Fortunately, the girl's spirit convinces him not to go through with it.]]
10** Happens again in "Ghost in the Machine" with [[BenevolentAI NIMUE]]. At first, it seemed like she was [[SanitySlippage losing her mind]] because her AIIsACrapshoot, [[spoiler: but it turned out her insanity was caused by Lord Vyce forcing her out of Comicron-One's computer. Once she was back in control, she promptly erased Vyce from the system.]]
11* Happens in ''Literature/ArcanaMagi'' to Alysia Morales and Reya Everheart. The process is called Therapy and for Alysia, she found it humiliating before her mind broke and she was no more, but for Reya, she is completely afraid of it and even warns Alysia not to mess up or else.
12* What happened to Cavalier and Skybolt in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse''. And it turns out to be worse than we suspected.
13* In chapter 12 of ''Literature/{{Reasoning}}'', the Dungeon Keeper captures Macy and traps her in his domain. He repeatedly brainwashes her, erases chunks of her memory, and almost gets Macy to fall in love with him until the Mad Rabbit rescues her and snaps her out of it. Even [[{{Jerkass}} Grant]] outright says that the Dungeon Keeper "violated her mind," and Macy's memory deletion is seemingly permanent.
14* ''WebAnimation/RedVsBlue Revelation'' has Tex state that part of Alpha's torture was being placed in scenarios where he was forced to try and fail to save his loved ones, and being forced to watch them die. Repeatedly.
15** Further, it was tortured this way by facets of its own personality (Gamma and Omega) on the order of the human it was based on. Which would add that it would believe itself capable of inflicting this sort of agony on others.
16** In season 10, it's implied that [[spoiler:the third Tex underwent a similar process as the Alpha; when Epsilon finds her, she's as broken as the Alpha was just after his Mind Rape.]]
17* In ''Franchise/{{RWBY}}'' there are a lot of different abilities afforded to the characters, one of which and the most prominent (before the introduction of Magic) are Semblances. Among them, some can boost one's strength and then some can mess with the minds of others, whether this is direct or indirect. And in the later volumes, whether psychic or mundane, this happens...a lot.
18** Before Emerald Sustrai turned good, or at least decided not to be involved in Remnant's destruction when things were said and done, she did a lot to different characters due to her Semblance, Hallucinations. First, jumpstarting the Fall of Beacon, she used this on Pyrrha Nikos, [[spoiler: who at the time wasn't in the best condition due to the fact she might have ended up becoming the next Fall Maiden (or at least a Semi-Maiden)]], making her believe the adorable RobotGirl, Penny summoned a multitude of swords, causing her to panic and unleash her Semblance, Polarity. Not being aware that Penny herself was a robot, Pyrrha's magnetism ended up violently affecting her and causing her blades' wires to tear her apart, resulting in her first "death".
19** Compared to Emerald, who often uses her Semblance for "mischief", Neopolitan [[spoiler: real name: Trivia Vanille]] has used her Semblance, Overactive Imagination to outright torture people, physically and mentally. Lie Ren to a lesser extent, assumes the likeness of Nora Valkyrie to keep him from attacking her. In the EverAfter, she uses this to commit the worst MindRape in the series thus far, causing Ruby, whom she blamed for Roman's death to encounter her deceased friends and allies until that point. Neo then proceeded to use them to torment and attack the Huntress, [[spoiler: who wasn't in the most stable mindset]], reminding her of their deaths and placing the blame for them on her, the most recent being Penny, who Ruby failed the save, reaching the point where she made her believe she killed Oscar, pushing her to the point of suicide.
20* ''Literature/BraveNewWorldUniverse'' has this happen several times in Tech Adventures. First is Maria the resident psychic who enters [[spoiler:enters the Jokers (Not the DC Joker)]] to take over his body and send him to the police. He proceeds to torture her for what seems to be years driving her insane. Then Sasha, [[spoiler:who has already been broken, and is almost catatonic]] is visited by a psychic big bad, Mindwurm, who proceeds to [[spoiler:make him relive every bad moment in his life, and then uses the demons in Sasha's mind to destroy the last embers of hope]]. When this doesn't work out so well, Mindwurm goes back into his brain and [[spoiler:effectively lobotomizes Sasha by destroying his memories one by one]]. In the final fight, Maria takes what she's learned from [[spoiler: the Joker]] and Mindwurm, and tries to do this to [[spoiler:Joanna the final big bad]] with some success.

23[[folder:"Mundane" Torture]]
24* This is basically how the story of ''WebAnimation/BrokenSaints'' treats Shandala. [[spoiler:She suffers one horrible thing after another in her life, eventually resulting in becoming an empathic weapon designed to do this to millions of people across the world, employed by the BigBad in his plan to all but restart human civilization.]]
25%%* This happens to the people in ''{{WebOriginal/Shell}}'' after they look at the EldritchAbomination.
26* Again Tech Adventures from ''Literature/BraveNewWorldUniverse'' has Sasha getting mind raped through a chemical cocktail which drives him temporally insane, when a mercenary group tries to capture him. [[spoiler:It doesn't end well for the mercenaries as it causes him to go into a rage]].
27* ''WebVideo/LeftPOORDead'': Tippy after invoking the mushrooms. He seems to enjoy it though.
28* The Curious Cat in ''Franchise/{{RWBY}}'', who grew insane from being abandoned by his creators attempted to leave for Remnant to discover the reason. To accomplish this, he set his sights on Ruby Rose, who he knew was reaching her emotional breaking point from her failures, then sought to "assist" their group. But, in actuality, the Curious Cat planned on further breaking her and pushing her to an emotional breakdown so that he could possess her and leave to their homeland using the Huntress as the vessel.
