** A villainous pre-2000s example is the African island nation of Genosha, which has compensated for the barren worthlessness of its actual island by literally enslaving its mutant population, transforming them into [[SlaveRace Mutates]] to use their powers "ForTheGreaterGood". Mutates are shaved bald, branded on the forehead with identifying numbers, forced to wear [[ClingyCostume brightly colored sealed bio-support suits that they can't ever remove]] in order to be readily identified, held in isolated prison-camps when not performing slave labor, at the mercy of a MadScientist called the Genegineer who will forcibly rewrite their genetic code to make their powers take on more "useful" forms, {{Mind Rape}}d into docility, and subject to rampant abuse of every kind apart from sexual. And that's only because their suits don't let them have sex; the Genegineer instead takes genetic material from all of the mutant slaves to create future generations of slave DesignerBabies in his {{Uterine Replicator}}s. The Genoshans argue that this is essential to keep the mutants from rising up and killing them all. [[SelfFulfillingProphecy Guess what happens when the brutalized slaves are forcibly freed?]]

* ''Literature/TheBrokenEarthTrilogy'': The Fulcrum seeks out and conscripts any [[DishingOutDirt orogenes]] that arise in the population, under the logic that every single one is a potential PersonOfMassDestruction in a tectonically hyperactive world and so must have their powers yoked for the safety of humanity. "Humanity" being a class that legally excludes orogenes. Any orogenes deemed uncontrollable or who flunk out of training are simply executed out of hand, or lobotomized and turned into HumanResources. Orogenes who ''are'' controllable still have the threat of death hanging over them constantly and are forced to take part in eugenic breeding programs.

* The Company in ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', which hunts down potentially dangerous evolved humans with two-man "[[BadassNormal one of us,]] [[DifferentlyPoweredIndividual one of them]]" teams, among other things.
** In a twist, the Company isn't government-affiliated: the Mutants are running the asylum, so to speak, trying to keep their own undercover for their own good. Not that this makes them completely heroic, mind.
** Then there's Pinehearst...
** The current Mutant Registration Act they've got going on just wants to imprison.

** Aes Sedai search for girls with the power to channel the One Power. Those who qualify are inducted into the order, while those who do not pass, for whatever reason, are taught enough not to kill themselves and then monitored for their rest of their lives, though the Aes Sedai don't monitor them as closely as they believe. They also track down and "gentle" all male channelers, as they will go insane from the taint.
