'''Basic Trope''': A character is protected from a specific form of harm by a disability.
* '''Straight''': Bob the Blind is immune to Alice's mind control rays because he can't see them.
* '''Exaggerated''': Alice the Evil's entire power set relies on her victim being able to see. Bob's friends simply lock the two of them in a room until he finally walks into her and slays her.
* '''Downplayed''':
** Bob is partially sighted, which protects him from Alice's gaze attacks, but he still needs to train hard in order to be able to fight with worse than average eyesight.
** Depression tends to protect one from mind reading as it is [[AMindIsATerribleThingToRead contagious to psychics]] and they can tell before reading. They can still be read but psychics strongly prefer not to.
** Mind control machines can work on the disabled but they need to be specially calibrated for the condition. Given the expense few bother.
** Bob's brain damage gives him just enough immunity to Alice's capacity to erase people's memories [[AmnesiaMissedASpot to know something has been erased]].
* '''Justified''': [[NoEyeInMagic You need to see Alice]] to get mind controlled.
* '''Inverted''':
** Bob's SuperSenses mean he is even more vulnerable to Alice's mind control.
** Bob's deafness means he relies on his sight more, and is more vulnerable to Alice's mind control.
** [[ImmunityDisability Bob is immune to magic, meaning he is "immune" to the healing spells that his allies try to cast on him]].
** Alice can only mind control the developmentally disabled or brain damaged to a roughly equivalent state.
** Alex who was born [[FeelNoPain without the ability to feel pain]] is incapable of learning to use a BlackMagic AgonyBeam spell as he doesn't have the experience of his own pain to inflict upon others.
* '''Subverted''':
** Bob claims he is immune to Alice's mind control, but then succumbs to it.
** Alice reveals that looking into her victims eyes is not actually necessary, making Bob just a vulnerable.
** Bob is TooDumbToFool and Alice's magical mind control doesn't works on him as a result [[HandWave for some reason]] -- but Alice is an expert psychologist and brainwashes him anyway by means of providing him with juicy rewards and constant positive enforcement.
* '''Double Subverted''':
** He was faking mind control so Alice would let her guard down.
** Bob's idiocy [[SurroundedByIdiots still makes him much more maintenance-intensive]] than a regular (non-hypnotized) minion. Alice wonders in the long term [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime if getting Bob as a minion was a good idea]].
* '''Parodied''': The immunities are nonsensical - it turns out having Crohn's disease makes someone immune to disintegration for no rational reason.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Disabilities can make someone more or less susceptible. Schizophrenia grants immunity to possession but makes them more vulnerable to psychic abilities.
* '''Averted''':
** Bob's blindness does not protect him from mind control.
** None of the characters are disabled.
* '''Enforced''':
** We need to have Alice's pride dented as part of a HumiliationConga. Let's have someone defeat her with a weakness.
** The practical effects wouldn't work safely on an actor with the condition - so they wrote in an immunity and had him NoSell it and skip to defeating Alice.
* '''Lampshaded''':
** "Who would have though a blind person would prove a threat to me! The Mistress of [[NoEyeInMagic gaze attacks]]!"
** "I got you now Bob!" "Huh, what? I can't hear you! I forgot my hearing aids today!"
* '''Invoked''':
** Bob is recruited specifically to deal with Alice.
** Bob blinds himself to avoid Alice's attacks.
** The Kingdom of Freedonia encourages disabled children to become adventurers for this reason.
* '''Exploited''': Bob strikes the now-powerless Alice down on the spot [[AchievementsInIgnorance without ever realizing this trope was in play.]]
* '''Defied''': Alice enhances her power to affect blind people.
* '''Discussed''': "Are you sure you can handle Bob? He's blind, you know." "Yes, I know he's blind. But no matter what you may hear, [[NoEyeInMagic you don't have to see me to succumb to my mind control]]."
* '''Conversed''': "I knew Bob would do it. Why didn't they just ask him to defeat Alice in the first place, instead of needlessly killing off [[RedShirtArmy all those sighted heroes]]? [[CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot That would have made a lot more sense.]]"
* '''Implied''': Alice's gaze attack hypnotizes the other heroes, but Bob the Blind is unaffected and finishes her off.
* '''Deconstructed''': Because he's blind, Bob has a much harder time than the other heroes.
** Having to be blind to be unaffected is effectively a MortonsFork in Alice's favor. If they can see she mind controls them. If they cannot she just takes her time and silently lines up an aimed shot.
* '''Played For Laughs''':
** Bob walks straight past Alice's SchmuckBait traps, unaware that his friends are caught in them.
** Autistic Alex can see through all of Dave's masquerades.
-->'''Alex:''' "Dave, is that you?"
* '''Played For Drama''': Parents weepingly blind their children on purpose to spare them from Alice the Evil.
* '''Played For Horror''':
** In order to be 100% immune to Alice's power, you can't just do a little damage to your corneas and that's it -- you have [[EyeScream to rip the entire eye out, optic nerve included]]. And we get to see the procedure being performed on-screen, repeatedly, and often without the preparation needed for such surgeries like clean surgical instruments, painkillers, or someone who has knowledge of what the hell they're doing.
** Alice discovers the hard way that her powers can't brainwash sociopaths.
