While enchanted, Bruce is essentially a passenger in his own mind, but he feels oddly content and calm while connected to "the Green."

* ''Series/AgentsOfShield'': Hive's mind control works like this. Most Inhumans express the feeling as perpetually having something "missing" in their lives (which may/may not have been explicitly engineered by the original Kree scientists who created them). Hive's "sway" acts like an addictive drug that explicitly fills this psychological void. After being controlled and then forcibly detoxed, Daisy immediately seeks Hive out and begs to be taken back under his control, but is denied because the detox process renders her immune.
* ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'': Tony chose to become an Active and have his memories erased because his PTSD made it difficult for him to adjust to civilian life. When his contract is up, he enlists with another program that threatens to erase his personality completely, because he'd rather be a cog in a machine than be Tony again.
* ''Series/JessicaJones2015'': After an extended time under Kilgrave's control, Malcolm Ducasse discusses this trope with Jessica. There is an ironic freedom to being mindcontrolled because you are not responsible for your actions. You don't worry about plans or their consequences, you just fulfil the purpose of the controller.
* ''Series/SearchParty'': [[spoiler: Dory]] seems much happier and at peace with herself while under Chip's brainwashing, to the point that after being broken out of it, [[spoiler: she asks him to do it again.]]
