History Main / HypnoticEyes

* [[SecretInvasion The]] [[ComicBook/FantasticFour Skrulls]] have this ability as well.

* Non-''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}}''.

* In ''Webcomic/{[Homestuck}}'', staring into the eyes of [[spoiler: [[DemonicDummy Lil' Cal]]]] puts a person under the trance of [[BigBad Lord English]] himself and do his bidding, be that murder your friends or rip out your own eyes [[spoiler: and replace them with the dummy's, thereby becoming one of English's avatars]]. It's explained that [[spoiler: Lil' Cal is a SoulJar for English, so staring into its eyes is effectively the same as staring into English's soul]]. And you wonder why [[spoiler: the Striders wear SunglassesAtNight]]!

* The villain of the B-movie ''Film/TheThingThatCouldntDie'' (another fine ''MysteryScienceTheater3000'' experiment) is the undead head of devil-worshipper Gideon Drew, which is still able to instantly enslave anyone who looks at him without protection.

* Noroi, a white weasel in ''Anime/GanbaNoBouken''. When his red eyes shine eery, he can apply hypnotism. And he'd do a violent, cruel and villainous acts.

->''Okay, new rule: If the Ghost Wizard's eyes start to shimmer... DON'T LOOK INTO THEM. YOU ARE SO DENSE SOMETIMES.''
->-- '''Mitzi [=McNinja=]''' (to her unconscious husband), ''Webcomic/TheAdventuresOfDrMcNinja''

* Played for laughs in the comedy ''LoveAtFirstBite''; when Dracula and Jeffery attempt to do this to each other, a luckless waiter sticks his head between them and instantly keels over.

* Montag of ''TheWizardOfGore'' is implied to have this, generally modeled by the camera going to an extreme closeup of his eyes as he stares for several seconds, following by a member of the audience doing what he wants.

* In the 1981 film ''Looker'', a company called Digital Matrix creates computer-generated actors that have hypnotic eyes that cause the viewers to fall into a trance so that they would be receptive to whatever message the producers want to communicate through the TV commercials.

* In the ''NightHuntress'' books, vampires can brainwash humans if they look at the vampire's eyes. A small percentage of the human population is immune to this ability.
* In the fantasy series ''{{Redwall}}'', snakes, primarily adders have this ability. The only (known) non-snake example would be the pine marten Ublaz Mad Eyes. [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The name says all]].
* In ''AWrinkleInTime'', the Man with Red Eyes has powerful HypnoticEyes which he uses to bring Charles Wallace under the control of IT.

* [[PrinceCharmingWannabe Count Antonie]] the {{vampire}} tries this on Meryl in ''{{Minion}}''. She of course [[NoSell sees right through it]] and clobbers him.

* ''TheKingfisher'' features vampires with the Hypnotic Eyes, to varying degrees. Vitus early on puts Marc to sleep with the look, but goes to Helen for help rewriting his memories.

* In ''[[{{Asterix}} The Twelve Tasks of Asterix]]'', Iris the Great Egyptian Magician has spotlight-like eyes he uses to hypnotize people.

* {{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 ''{{Tintin}}'' story "Cigars of the Pharoah"; 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.

* Cho-in from Haunters.

* Super Bike in ''TheFairlyOddParents''.
* Tak in ''InvaderZim'' seems to possess these in the form of some sort of device in or near her eyes. While in disguise, a flash of her eyes allows her to erase short-term memories of her victims (unless their mind is too strong, like Dib's and Gaz's were) and, in one case, impose her will over others.

* The eponymous Dr. Mabuse in Creator/FritzLang's ''DrMabuseTheGambler''.

* In Disney's ''Disney/RobinHood'', Sir Hiss at least once did this to Prince John.

* All vampires in the series ''Series/TrueBlood'' possess this power (assuming their maker taught it to them). It seems to get more powerful with age, like most vampire abilities in the ''True Blood'' universe: while most vampires can put you in a trance while looking into their eyes and affect your perception, older vampires (or possibly just Russell Edgington) seem to be able to be able to look into your eyes once and then subsequently leave you in a trance even after eye contact is broken.
** Ryutaros in ''Series/KamenRiderDen-o''. He will be able to manipulate freely people while he's possessing Ryotaro by his purple eyes. While he's doing a hip-hop dance, the boys hypnotized to come from somewhere and dance with him.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1529 SCP-1529 ("King of the Mountain")]]. When SCP-1529 makes eye contact with a human being it exerts hypnotic control over the victim. This causes the victim to feel the effects of freezing to death (feeling warm and comfortable, sitting down and relaxing).

And compensates with a power so big he can hypnotize his victims through ''video tapes'' ([[HoistByItsOwnPetard that's how Paperinik got him the first time: he taped him and then tricked him into seeing the tape]].

* ''TheDemonHeadmaster'', although he uses his catchphrase along with it;

->''Okay, new rule: If the [[OurGhostsAreDifferent Ghost Wizard's]] eyes start to shimmer... DON'T LOOK INTO THEM. YOU ARE SO DENSE SOMETIMES.''
