** ''Series/KamenRiderOutsiders'' follows this example like ''Zi-O'', where the BigBad tricks all the active heroes into surrendering their powers to eradicate everything that's evil. Only for said villain to go a ''[[BewareTheSuperman step too far]]'' in its crusade against malice, that it actually plans to use every Rider power to TakeOverTheWorld.

* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': Black and Blue Mana spells often have the ability to steal cards from your oponents hands, which in the in-universe lore would look like a combination of this trope and MindRape: the mage telepathically steals the knowledge of how to cast a particular spell from their oponent's mind. The Planeswalker Davriel Cane, {{Deuteragonist}} of ''Literature/ChildrenOfTheNameless'', specializes in this kind of magic. The caveat is that he feels intense pain doing this a morally good person (though [[InsistentTerminology he insists its just a matter of incompatible minds]] rather than a case of HolyBurnsEvil).

** It eventually turns out that Voldemort has been using his PsychicLink with Harry to siphon some of the latter's [[PsychicPowers newfound powers]] for himself, ultimately letting him [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead regain a body]] a full year [[ForWantOfANail ahead of canon]]]]. He later refines this ability under Selene's tutelage, applying it to more or less everyone ''but'' Harry (who's a bit hot to hold by now).

Why do we start with "villains"? Because actually stealing powers is often [[BadPowersBadPeople a villainous power]]. Stealing by itself is bad, stealing ''powers'' would logically be worse - and dramatic. It's rare for a hero to have this; they usually have PowerCopying instead.

This is the {{opposite trope|s}} of SuperEmpowering, though there can be overlap if you have the ability to "give" and "take" powers at will. More often than not, such an ability is a secret twist in the story, so these are '''Unmarked Spoilers'''.
