* Possibly due to ValuesDissonance, the fact that the Amazon "good guys" regularly take defeated opponents to a hidden near inescapable prison island and lock them into mind control devices that force them to obey their captors every command [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul with a smile]] without trial regardless of their alleged crime is a pretty damn horrific bit of AccidentalNightmareFuel. It's essentially BrainwashingForTheGreaterGood played disturbingly straight and no one, including Wonder Woman, finds it unacceptable for violating basic civil rights.
** This notion gets played up again in ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'' and it's shown as even creepier and blatant while the story paints the practice as a good thing!

* Every last drop of water on the "island planet" of Sorca is hexed to contain Circe's transformation potion, including the morning dew! Anyone arriving there will inevitably dehydrate if they can't finish their business and leave in the time, assuming they even know Circe's corrupted Sorca's water cycle, unless they mix molu herbs that Circe has nearly eradicated from the planet into their drink, and just getting wet is enough for the potion to seep into a person's skin and begin a ForcedTransformation.

** This notion The LighterAndSofter Silver Age of comic books often retreads story lines from the Golden Age "Earth Two" run but tends to omit the Venus girdles from its "Earth One" setting, wherever possible.
** 1986 comic ''The Legend Of Wonder Woman'' revisits two brainwashed Golden Age villains and shows that while one was indeed irredeemable, that the other was perfectly capable of being reformed through conventional methods and that the brainwashing itself actually solved nothing in the long run.
** In direct contrast to the Silver Age Earth one, the brainwashing of defeated enemies and captured criminals
gets played up again in Post Crisis ''ComicBook/WonderWomanEarthOne'' and it's shown as even creepier and blatant than the Golden Earth Two stories, while the newer story paints the practice as a good thing!

* Every single one of Queen Atomia's slave "subjects" was presumably human at one point, before she hit them with her ShrinkRay and shoved them in her horrific MookMaker, permanently altering them physically and mentally into the forms of her robotic looking "Neutron" and "Protron" slaves for the rest of their lives.
