4* ''Webcomic/OneOverZero'': Ghanny is forced to enact CorporalPunishment on Junior despite being a ghost, so Ghanny possesses Junior and gives him a "mind wedgie" that leaves him a gibbering wreck for six hours.
5* ''Webcomic/{{Outsider}}'': Shortly after awakening aboard the Loroi ship, Stillstorm has Fireblade and two other Unsheathed forcefully mind-probe Jardin for information when he doesn't answer questions to her satisfaction. Fortunately, a combination of him blacking out and the apparent unique human trait of telepathic immunity spare him from anything nasty, although he finds the experience itself to be torturous and eventually blacks out.
6* ''Webcomic/TriquetraCats'': In [[http://www.triquetracats.com/?date=2006-06-16 this page]], Blaze's adoptive (yet genetically similar) older sister is subject to a Mind Rape by a Hand of the Dragon vampire with illusionist powers.
7* ''Webcomic/SluggyFreelance'':
8** The "Wayang Kulit" arc combines this with a VisionQuest, forcing Torg to kill all the women he's ever loved (or who have ever loved him) and gradually transform into a demon. It all ends up for the best, teaching him not to blame himself so much, but it's done in the most sadistic way possible.
9* Shockamancy in ''{{Webcomic/Erfworld}}'' appears to work by planting horrible images in the victims' minds, if one judges from [[ShockSite the names]] used in [[http://www.giantitp.com/comics/erf0139.html this Shockamancy-scroll incantation]].
10** At the end of the prequel comic, as part of a deal [[spoiler:Jillian]] goes under a magical procedure to cure an addiction. Part of the deal is that the contractor or healer [[spoiler:Charlie or Betsy]] may tamper with her memories and personality as they see fit, but the latter assures her the former can't do anything without her consent. [[spoiler:But it turns out Charlie doesn't really care about anything except removing one very specific part of her personality. Betsy, on the other hand, tears apart Jillian's brain and turns her into a completely different person.]] Trustworthy, huh?
11** Maggie describes what Charlie does to [[spoiler:Lilith's mind as obscene]]. It is apparently so monstrous that [[spoiler:even the observing Wanda is paralyzed with horror and she has seen and done a lot. He breaks Lilith's mind piece by piece and converts the pieces into manifestations of himself. He comes to the brink of destroying her mind entirely until Wanda and Maggie intervene. While Wanda is able to restore some of Lilith's mind, much remains lost.]]
12** The Great Minds are the leaders of all Thinkamancers and keep the true power of Thinkamancy a strict secret. When one of their own is excommunicated to Baddie status, they are put under a {{Geas}}. If said Baddie violates the Geas's terms, it will grab their reasons for doing so to report to the Great Minds and rip their mind into shreds in the process.
13* ''Webcomic/{{Archipelago}}'': Vaniji does this at first in brainwashing people (accompanied by pseudo-soothing words), until he encounters a mind that had experienced so much trauma and despair that it ''turned it back on him''.
14** Also when Snow [[http://thearchipelago.smackjeeves.com/comics/1911437/book-9-page-210/ does this to Credenza]].
15* A hero-on-villain (or at least {{Jerkass}}) version in this episode [[http://www.freakangels.com/?p=34 here]] of ''Webcomic/FreakAngels'', when Arkady makes Luke experience the memory of her drug overdose.
16* ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
17** Feferi's [[RaisedByWolves lusus]], [[EldritchAbomination Gl'bgolyb]], is a several cities-sized monstrosity that she has to feed other lusus, or else it would raise its "[[BrownNote voice]]" above a whisper. Doesn't sound too bad? [[spoiler: It would result in the death of every troll, starting with the lowbloods on Alternia, the lowbloods off Alternia, and slowly working its way up the hemospectrum until Feferi herself dies. It eventually happens, and Sollux -- the third lowest troll on the spectrum -- dies a very, very grisly death.]] [[DisneyDeath He gets better]].
18** A more classic example occurs late into Act 6, where [[spoiler:Aranea uses powers on Jake to invade his mind in order to -- [[UnreliableNarrator allegedly]] -- "help" him realize his potential as a Page of Hope. Jake]] is shown to find this experience torturous and terrifying.
19* A possible explanation of whatever [[http://www.nuklearpower.com/2009/07/21/episode-1154-epilepsy-warning-no-seriously/ this]] is in ''[[Webcomic/EightBitTheater 8-Bit Theater]]''.
20** What's truly creepy is that [[CardCarryingVillain Garland]], the seemingly most harmless member of the four, was the only one left standing afterwards, and he only seemed confused, rather than mind raped. Then again, he's had to deal with FOREST IMPS for so long...
21* Both ''Webcomic/TheLastDaysOfFoxhound'' and ''Webcomic/TheCobraDays'' interpret [[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater The Sorrow's]] ability to make a person "experience the sorrow of those they have killed" as this. Whereas in the game it's fairly straightforward (Snake is confronted with the ghosts of everyone he's killed in the game so far, who shout accusations at him, and he has to struggle past them) the former shows The Sorrow as dragging a person's mind to the other side and letting their victims have their way with them, and the latter shows it as him gripping a person and forcing them to experience the dying feelings of everybody they have killed at once.
22** The Sorrow in ''The Last Days of FOXHOUND'' only did the former on [[ArbitrarySkepticism Mantis]], however: Liquid and Octopus were tested in the same way as Snake. Of course, he does run into the snag that the three people he tries it on are a SociopathicHero, a BloodKnight with LaserGuidedAmnesia and a TechnicalPacifist: Mantis quickly realizes that all the people he's killed is ultimately water under the bridge, Liquid can't remember any of it and just takes all the carnage as a sign of how badass he is, and Octopus' test is completely empty because he's never killed a person in his life.'
23-->'''Sorrow:''' This test clearly does not work anymore.
24* In ''Webcomic/TheLifeOfNobTMouse'', it is heavily implied that [[EldritchAbomination Grandfather Time]] did this to Frederick, which is why he is now a total nutcase, and causes Frederick's PunctuatedForEmphasis moment on [[http://www.nobmouse.net/2010/02/17/all-over-the-mouse-part-twenty-four/ their second meeting]].
25* Okay, quick review of a part of ''Anime/ReadOrDie'' canon you'll need for context: along with the abilities that person had, an I-Jin also has some special ability. Now. In ''Webcomic/AndShineHeavenNow'', the I-Jin of [[spoiler: [[Literature/JeevesAndWooster Reginald Jeeves]]]] has the ability to do this to someone by directly altering a person's mind. Which is what he does to [[spoiler: [[{{Manga/Hellsing}} Walter]]]] to turn him evil (as opposed to the reason in canon).
26* Failed in ''WebComic/DragonBallMultiverse''. Syd hoped to win against U13 Vegeta by [[GenderBender swapping genders]] with him and hoping the "psychological impact" would leave him with his guard down. His response?
27-->"[[PreAssKickingOneLiner I'm a girl... So what?]]"
28* In ''{{Webcomic/Sarilho}}'', the Lusitanians are known to have psychic abilities they use in a number of different situations... Which include complementing physical torture and alienating their enemies in battle by piercing them with suicidal thoughts.
29* In ''{{Webcomic/Roommates}}'' the Shadow Child's main weapons are "ImNotAfraidOfYou" declarations and TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, which cause the target to relive his darkest memories about despair, hopelessness, etc.. The kid is an AnthropomorphicPersonification [[spoiler:of Disbelief]], who weaponizes his very nature and is terrifying. You know what's the worst? ''[[AsLongAsThereIsEvil He never goes away]]''.
30* In ''Webcomic/{{Concession}}'' Joel tends to enslave or attempt to kill people by bringing them into the astral plane, where he and his sister's ghost have tentacles that wrap around their victims astral forms and invade orifices. [[http://concessioncomic.com/index.php?pid=20080610 One of the cleaner examples]].
31* ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': Jack is the subject of one when he is hit by the bullet goblin. The insect is feeding on his fluids and magic, and we have a chilling representation of it attacking Jack's inner psyche.
32* ''WebComic/UnholyBlood'': The ability to violate the mind is the special ability of the vampire Sahan. Sahan torments his victims using visions of figures personal to them to mess with them psychologically.
33* ''Webcomic/{{UnOrdinary}}'': One of the authority figures runs a “school” in which he “rehabilitates” students acting out of line by using his ability to make people relive their worst memories. John has been subjected to this in the past after [[spoiler:obliterating half his class in a fight]], and his experience in those classes were apparently scarring enough to make him turn his life around completely. It’s implied that he suffers from PTSD as a result of those incredibly traumatic months.
34* ''Webcomic/{{Unsounded}}'': Efheby venom tears apart the human mind and sorts through their memories allowing the efheby to consume them. Ruck has learned how to weaponize it to try and learn the secrets of the Aldish dammakhert at the behest of Queen Sonorie. Poor Roger Foi-Hellick.

37[[folder:"Mundane" Torture]]
38* In ''Webcomic/{{Endstone}}'', [[http://endstone.net/comic/issue-1-page-35/ Cole does this to get the knowledge from Lord Quandal]], turning him into a vegetable. To cap it all -- he doesn't know.
