** Gambit's most notable traits from his mutation are his red irises on black sclerae. One of his lesser known mutant powers is a hypnotic charm from eye contact that makes people more compliant to him. It's less effective if the target knows about it.

* ComicBook/{{Blade}} is resistant to vampire mesmerism, but cannot do it himself. However he was given said ability in the Ultimate universe.
* The fakir in the ''Franchise/{{Tintin}}'' story ''[[Recap/TintinCigarsOfThePharaoh Cigars of the Pharaoh]]''; even Tintin is unable to resist the power of his eyes and weird gestures. More so in the AnimatedAdaptation where his eyes are enough to hypnotize someone, and his pupils light up.
* Along with all the combined powers of the ''ComicBook/FantasticFour'', the Super Skrull has mesmerizing eyes.
* Non-''ComicBook/PaperinikNewAdventures'' Paperinik villains Spectrus and Sapphire have this ability. Sapphire can also [[ShockAndAwe shoot lightnings]], but Spectrus can't... And compensates with a power so big he can hypnotize his victims through ''video tapes'' ([[HoistByHisOwnPetard that's how Paperinik got him the first time: he taped him and then tricked him into watching the tape]]. He later started doing this to others to steal). They become partners in crime (and get a lot of ShipTease) when they finally meet in ''ComicBook/{{Ultraheroes}}''.

* Sir Pentious in ''WesternAnimation/HazbinHotel'' can use [[EyesDoNotBelongThere the eyes all over his body]] to mind control others, though the effect is very shortlived so he can at best make them do something that takes a few seconds to do:
-->'''Angel Dust: ''' (Tackles Sir Pentious to the ground and starts punching him.)
-->'''Sir Pentious: '''(With HypnoticEyes) Get your aggressively average body off of me.
-->'''Angel Dust: ''' (Reels back with MindControlEyes) Fuck.

* In ''ARG/WelcomeHomeClownIllustrations'', there's a strong theming around spirals and eyes...particularly with the main character, Wally Darling. His eyes are sometimes drawn looking manic, or completely dilated, and even more unsettling, with a small white dot in the middle. And he rarely ever not stares at his favourite neighbor: [[spoiler:you]].

** ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'': At the sack of Nargothrond, the hero Turin is hypnotized by the dragon Glaurung just as he is going to attack Glaurung and unwisely looks into the latter's "lidless eyes". As Glaurung holds him under a spell, Turin stands passive as the captives of Nargothrond are driven away, and only regains his senses when the dragon withdraws his gaze. Later Turin's sister Nienor is found by Glaurung and hypnotized so that she forgets her past and identity. She only regains her memory many years later at the death of Glaurung.
