* The ''Series/DarkAngel'' episode "Hello, Goodbye" deals with a friendship between [[HalfHumanHybrid genetically engineered dog-man]] Joshua and a blind girl named Annie. She spends much of the episode talking about wanting to "see" him by feeling his face, something that he's understandably reluctant to do. He ends up having one of his more human-looking friends "stand in" for him. In the next episode, "Dawg Day Afternoon", he eventually lets her "see" his real face after they're both chased into the sewers by local youths who want to hurt him, and she accepts him even though he's obviously not all human. She does bring up the potential UnfortunateImplications of this trope; although she doesn't hate Joshua, she's miffed that he took advantage of the fact she couldn't see. [[spoiler:Later, the [[TheMenInBlack Man In Black]] from the AncientConspiracy learns of their friendship and snaps her neck to frame the only people that the public knows have SuperStrength for the murder]].

* Subverted in ''Film/CastleFreak1995'': Rebecca, being blind, cannot see the [[AntagonistTitle titular]] monster Giorgio's hideous appearance when they meet face to face, and mistakes him for her mother, prattling on about her feelings to him as he waits on her attentively. Given his utterly horrific backstory this could be an opportunity for a [[HeelFaceTurn face turn]], but instead of a rapport built between them Rebecca is rightfully repulsed by the completely deranged Giorgio's true nature, as he grabs her up and carries her off to his dungeon to [[AttemptedRape rape her]].

* ''Fanfic/SpiderNinja'': Chapter 33 sees Leonardo stranded in an alleyway with a gashed leg. He's [[GoodSamaritan helped by a blind man]], who introduces himself as [[spoiler:former police captain [[CanonCharacterAllAlong George Stacy]]. Subverted when he reveals near the end of the chapter that he knew almost from the start that Leo wasn't human; he didn't say anything because Leo saved Gwen Stacy from being mugged a few days before.]]

* ''Comicbook/FantasticFour'':

* In the fifth issue of ''Franchise/{{Superman}}: Comicbook/TheManOfSteel'', Lois Lane's sister Lucy tried to commit suicide after being blinded in an accident. She was rescued by Bizarro, but she thought it was Superman. This was an homage to the first appearance of Bizarro in ''Superboy'' back in the 1950s, where [[TheWoobie Bizarro's]] only friend is a blind girl who doesn't realize he's a monster.

* A short piece in a Mirage ''[[Comicbook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' special has this happen with Raphael and an old blind woman; the sequence was later adapted as part of an episode of the [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 2003 cartoon]].

* ''Film/{{Deadpool}}'' has Blind Al, the titular character's friend and landlady. She knows he's disfigured but doesn't care (and likely wouldn't even if she could see).
