Sometimes the answer to your problem isn't love and caring. It's violence. Loving, caring violence. One character bombards the other character's mind with The Power of Love, Precious Puppies, peace, joy, rainbows and other such sweet stuff. Sometimes it will cause damage to or drive off The Heartless, The Undead, Demons, and other enemies that are Made of Evil. When used on good guys, it may bolster morale and heal them in body and spirit. For this reason it's generally used by heroes against villains. In some cases may work due to a combination of Evil Cannot Comprehend Good and Go Mad from the Revelation. Can be a practical use of Heart, and in some cases may even cause a Villainous BSoD and Brainwashing for the Greater Good. Thus it is both a sister trope to and the polar opposite of Mind Rape. Compare Emotion Bomb, which isn't limited to nice feelings; Mental Affair, the "adult" version of this; and Getting Smilies Painted on Your Soul, which is not as overt, if no less forceful. Compare and contrast Holy Hand Grenade, Revive Kills Zombie, and Heart Beatdown. See also Super-Cute Superpowers. Not to be confused with another famous bear's "Hard Stare", which is really more of a Death Glare. Named for the "attack" used by the Care Bears, naturally. The Space Whale Aesop being: "Don't fuck with a teddy bear born with a rainbow-laser cannon in its belly." |

In Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam, Kamille tried to pull this with Haman, but all it did was tick her off. Namely, Haman used to have a one-sided crush on Char as a teenager but he rejected her, which she took as a personal betrayal; what Kamille did was to show Haman a Newtype vision of herself and Char in a happy relationship, which resulted in Haman angrily calling Kamille a hypocrite for claiming that people can understand each other while messing with her head. | |

Digimon: Monzaemon, a teddy-bear-like whose main attack is the "Hearts Attack! With a hug!". It causes the opponent to float about in a heart-shaped bubble and giggle merrily. His Evil Counterpart, Waru Monzaemon ("Waru" means "evil"), has the Heartbreak Attack, which causes the opponent to break down into a sobbing ball of Wangst for a few minutes. |

In the Demonflame adventure pack for Champions Online, you force a demon into temporary servitude. After you rescue some children, it uses the happy thoughts of those children to destroy a magical barrier.

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella: In "Emote Control", after Wonderella frees Wonderita from a sorceress's mind control, they embrace and mention The Power of Friendship, which apparently is enough to blast the sorceress to pieces. It's sort of taking that line "The most powerful weapon of all is friendship!" literally. | |

This happens in The Inheritance Cycle in The Final Battle. Eragon and the old dragons join together to defeat Galbatorix. It starts as a reminder of the pain he caused, then turns into a full-blown Care-Bear Stare. He winds up going even crazier than he already was, and kills himself to make it stop. In a pretty spectacular way. | |

Harry Potter: Boggarts are creatures that transform into your worst fear. The spell to counter them is "riddikulus," which turns them into something hilarious, and laughter drives boggarts away. Patronuses (Patroni?) do a more solemn, protective version of the same thing to dementors. A dark version of this is also how Harry gets Voldemort out of his mind in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix when he wishes he could die, so that he could be with Sirius. He continues to use a version of it to keep Voldemort out and to keep his mind out of Voldemort's. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Riddle's diary exploited Ginny in a manner similar to lovebombing. She told him about her everyday troubles and he expressed sympathy, causing her to feel loved and understood. It was all a ruse to make her susceptible to his Mind Rape. |

Trigun: The manga version features an incredibly long climax whose final resolution involves Vash giving every plant on the planet, in the form of Knives' Body Horror collective thing, a Care-Bear Stare via bullet. He reminds all of them about the humans they always wanted to protect, so they detach from the Kill All Humans party, and then it rains angels. It affects Knives, too. He apologizes, and apparently dies. But later-apparently he had just enough energy left to pull together a human form, and get a nice hat to spend his final years wearing. He doesn't tell Vash. |

In The Fairly Oddparents: There exists a race of self-proclaimed evil aliens whose weaknesses include chocolate, flowers, and hugs. In fact, there was an episode where a Care Bear-esque army of creatures invades their planet through the use of cereal boxes and the evil aliens are unable to do anything because the power of cute exhibited by these creatures is too strong. Until they learn they taste like manure, said aliens' most loved delicacy, at which point they proceed to eat them. A greater example is shown in "Wishology" as the Darkness is defeated by blasting it with a celestial smile, turning it into the Kindness. |

The various Forte/Fortissimo attacks from Heart Catch Pretty Cure are like this, as the attacks end up purifying the Heart Flowers of an affected human, freeing them from their problems. Erika Kurumi/Cure Marine has the dubious honor of being hit with it twice, the second time showing that it does bring about a calming effect on them and when a Giant Snackie is hit with one, he just turns his suit white, but he still works for the bad guys. | |

A literal Care Bear Stare is apparently used as a weapon, similarly to the XKCD example, during the original Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny. It hits Abraham Lincoln and Jackie Chan, knocking them out of sight - Lincoln is later seen dead on the ground, but Chan isn't seen again, and the Care Bear itself also vanishes. Since "only one will survive", it can be presumed that all three are dead. | |

In The Wish List, apparently, whenever an act of perfect good is performed, it sets off an explosion in the spiritual plane that leaves ghosts unaffected, but has the same effect as a nuclear bomb on demons, and it leaves a nice scent around them when they end up splattered back in Hell. | |

Green Lantern: The Indigo Tribe is made up of reformed villains whose rings provide them with a compassionate outlook... in many cases, not entirely willingly. When the rings come off... hoo, boy. Blue Lanterns have a similar ability, their blue rings able to cool down the rage of Red Lanterns. One storyline deals with Abin Sur's relationship with the tribe (and the antagonism he had with Indigo-1). |

In Nodwick, they do a parody of the Dungeons & Dragons (2000) film. In the film, there is a scene where Damodar does Mind Rape of the captive Marina Pretensa. In the Nodwick comic, Damodar attempts this on the captive Piffany, the Lawful Good cleric who is all about gumdrops, rainbows, and kittens. Her mind is too happy and cheerful for Damodar to take, and he begs her to just take the treasure map and go. (See it here.) | |

Soul Eater: Maka matches soul wavelengths with Crona to confront them leading to them appearing to each other as children, with Maka erasing the border in the sand Crona put around themself. When we go back to the real world it seems to just make Crona crazier, but then Maka finishes the job with a regular Cooldown Hug. Marie specializes in this; her ability is literally named Healing Wavelength. She delivers a mind hug to both Maka and Stein at one point in the anime, when both are overcome with Madness. She follows this up with a literal Cooldown Hug to Stein, presumably he needs it since his Madness is naturally a bit higher than others' Madness. |

The Eternals: Starfox has the power to project good feelings. He mostly uses this to get laid. This is only to be expected, given his real name is Eros. She-Hulk tries to bring him up on charges of rape, since Starfox is essentially Roofieman. The resolution of that arc is that he never knowingly used his powers to that extent on anyone who wasn't already up for casual sex, but that Thanos had injured him so that he temporarily lost conscious control of them. | |

X-Men Film Series X-Men: First Class: Charles Xavier uses his telepathy to help Erik Lehnsherr recall a happy memory from long ago in order to unlock the full potential of his friend's powers. X-Men: Apocalypse: A dying and weakened Professor X enters a state of Dissonant Serenity so that he can focus his residual psychic powers to transmit to Jean Grey his absolute faith in her that she can let loose the Phoenix without killing him. Through The Power of Love, she finally sheds her deep-seated misgivings, and she's able to direct her devastating flames solely at the intended target (namely Charles' would-be murderer Apocalypse). |

Thinking the others would leave their toys unmodded (clearly not knowing how girls play with dolls), he is left with a "stock" Care Bear. His Care-Bear Stare proves useful, though... as a distraction, so the rest of them can rip him apart. | |

Stark from Farscape can psychically transmit memories, making him ideal for calming down those in pain or distress. He's also very good at helping the dying to cross over. The Eidolons are legendary for their Care Bare Stare: quite simply, it's a calming aura used to make individuals "see reason," powerful enough to have Scorpius, Crichton, and Emperor Staleek cheerfully sitting around a table discussing the terms of a Peace Treaty. |

Double-Subverted in the Haruhi Suzumiya anime. After Kyon laments that he'd like to have even a bit of Haruhi's super-confidence, she gives him a Death Glare and then supposes she has sent "warm energy" into Kyon's body. Kyon, in his usual snarky attitude replies "I felt like my life was in danger.." Nothing else more completely illustrates how out-of-touch Haruhi is with her own nigh-omnipotence. Interestingly, once the battle started, he got into the game to the point that he was shouting his attack orders at the computer. Wouldn't Haruhi think it a bit strange if Kyon had immediately burst into full hot-blooded confidence as soon as she stared him down? A delayed reaction? | |

At the climax of the Sword of the Stars novel, The Deacon's Tale, The Deacon has Cai Rui's love for his mentor and Iishi's love for his mate telepathically forced into his mind, awakening the atrophied parts of his mind that deal with love and kindness. This is made all the more jarring by the recipient's nature as member of a species who consider mind rape as a healthy form of social interaction, and the Care-Bear Stare thus ends up turning him into a self-flagellating, neurotic and suicidal wreck. According to the game's sequel, he got better. So much better, in fact, he ended up rebelling against The Great Masters and became responsible for a liir-zuul alliance. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V introduces Smile World, a normal spell card that gives 100 ATK points to all monsters currently on the field, for every monster currently on the field. Visually on the anime, it spreads smiley faces all over the field, and paints cartoonish happy smiles on all monsters. This same card got some protagonism and even secured wins on the duels that acted as a reverse Mind Crush for Edo/Aster Phoenix, making them ultimately defect from Academia after previously going completely bonkers at the sole thought that dueling can be a fun thing to do. | |

In Lynne Reid Banks' Angela and Diabola, the appropriately-named Angela telepathically sends her twin sister Diabola warm thoughts while the obviously devilish one is being soaked by the rain outside, because she's just that selfless. This act of goodness enrages Diabola so much that she sends in return the wettest, most wicked thoughts she can muster up, which are enough to make Angela convulse in shivers. Later on, Angela uses this power on other people. Inverted with Diabola, who can hurt and attack people with her mind. | |

Superman: In the storyline The Black Ring in Action Comics, Lex Luthor releases the Zone Child (a creature that intended to purge all negative emotion from the universe) from the Phantom Zone and defeats it. He gains its full power and proceeds to use it as the Zone Child would. We then get a montage of The DCU (the entirety of it) experiencing eternal bliss. Luthor learns that he can only keep his newfound power as long as he doesn't do anything negative, so of course the first thing he does is try to kill Superman. This led to the Joker, of all people, commenting about how Luthor, with his pettiness, squandered the ultimate power to do good. | |

All over the place in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. During their second duel, Banagher almost kills Marida while under the effect of the Unicorn's NT-D before she shows him her memories as Puru Twelve. He instantly finds the mental fortitude to restrain the system and spare her life. Banagher attempts this with Loni, but a combination of her deep-seated revenge issues and the Shamblo's malfunctioning psycommu renders it ineffective. Riddhe is forced to Mercy Kill her in order to save Banagher. In the final episode, Riddhe has a rather traumatic Newtype awakening during battle, so Mineva and Marida try this to calm him down. It almost works before the Banshee's rifle bumps against the Banshee's exposed psycoframe, turning the Mind Hug into a Mind Rape of the sensory overload kind that causes Riddhe to reflexively grab the rifle and blow Marida away. She finishes the job anyway as a Newtype ghost, reducing Riddhe into a sobbing wreck. |

Deconstructed in Regular Show when Muscle Man babysits his girlfriend's little sister by watching a Huggstables marathon with her. They execute bad guys by literally hugging them out of existence. This traumatizes a middle-aged man into endless nightmares about being erased from reality by love and positivism. | |

In Ghostbusters: The Video Game, if someone gets possessed, you have to hit them with positively charged slime to free them. This same slime also closes ruptures to the ghost world, renders evil black slime inert, and does more damage to certain targets. | |

In Sword of Truth, magical healing works by sharing the pain of the healed. When someone is affected by an ailment of the soul, the healer has to link his own soul with theirs. This is described as being much more intimate than sex, though not erotic in any way. | |

Spider-Man: In the Maximum Carnage crossover, Spider-Man and his friends built a Care-Bear Stare raygun and used it to mellow out most of the villains that had teamed up with Carnage. But since Carnage had never experienced such positive emotions before, the effect on him was more akin to Mind Rape. In The Amazing Spider-Man (Dan Slott) #700, Peter (trapped in Doctor Octopus' dying body after a "Freaky Friday" Flip) uses a Care Bear Stare consisting of his own memories to convince Doc Ock to be a true hero. The result is Superior Spider-Man (2013). |

In My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, the Elements of Harmony can act like this, complete with bonus points for a literal stare (with Glowing Eyes of Doom) being the final part of the spell. Or they can just exile ponies to the moon. In "The Return of Harmony: Part 2", in the climax, after Twilight shakes off Discord's influence when she's reminded of how much her friendship with the other five means to her, she goes around using a spell to snap her other five friends out of Discord's control. It consists of her playing back memories of who they really are, and what they mean to each other, and the happy thoughts override the Hate Plague that Discord put each of them through, bringing them back to normal. Downplayed in "A Canterlot Wedding Part 2": Cadance and Shining Armor's combination spell that blasts Queen Chrysalis and her changelings out of Canterlot. The downplayed comes from the fact that, from what we know, the wave itself is a physical force, Cadance's love only serves to give Shining the power to perform it. Played straight in "The Crystal Empire", wherein Cadance's magical barrier of love and happiness is impossible for the evil King Sombra to enter without getting disintegrated. It is the positive emotions of every pony in the Crystal Empire, amplified via Crystal Heart, that ultimately destroy him. Not seal him or purify him or anything. Destroy him. Used once again in Equestria Girls to undo Sunset Shimmer's demonic transformation. Done yet again with the Rainbow Power in "Twilight's Kingdom Part 2", depowering Tirek back to his original form and resealing him in Tartarus. Afterwards, it becomes a World-Healing Wave that restores the magic to all of the drained ponies. In The Beginning of the End the Mane Six unite and, with The Power of Friendship and Heart, they charge up and defeat King Sombra...by outright killing him with a blast of friendship-powered energy that graphically blows him to pieces on-screen. One could call it Friendly Fire. In The Ending of the End as Twilight combines the magic of her friends, the Student Six and the Pillars of Equestria into one gigantic rainbow beam that not only defeats the Legion of Doom but also destroys the Windigos as well. |

King of Dragon Pass has what players have nicknamed the Chalana Arroy Peace Bomb. An inaccurate summary is that a clan pools its magical power to send one of its members back to the world's creation, where she (re)performs one of the great deeds of that age. By affecting the creation, she Rewrites Reality in the present. One deed consists of healing everything in sight, so a good enough healer can spam it until everything is sunshine and puppies. | |

Zatanna: Zatanna once used this in order to Mind Rape someone. She "reprogrammed" Doctor Light, a vicious rapist, trying to pull out a good side that wasn't really there. What she succeeded in doing was creating an inept villain, but the idea was there. (This is the Retcon to try to make Doctor Light a threat: he used to actually be one, and the Ineffectual Sympathetic Villain we know and love is the result of attempted Heel–Face Brainwashing.) Depending on your interpretation she either had slightly more success or much greater failure when she attempted the same thing in the pages of The Flash. Barry Allen asked her to try to make The Top, a recurring villain of his, an actual hero. It worked, at first. But Top now had a conscience and couldn't deal with the horrible things he had done. He went nuts and started trying to do the same to other Flash villains. It didn't end well. | |

Not exactly a mind hug, but in Star Trek: Voyager, Tuvok initiates a mind-meld with Lon Suder, a mentally disturbed killer. The meld, along with Tuvok's teaching him Vulcan self-discipline, allows Suder to gain some peace. After some time and training, he begins to feel that he might be able to control his homicidal tendencies. In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sarek (Spock's dad) has Bendii's syndrome, a Vulcan disease that leaves them unable to control their emotions. A mindmeld with Picard alleviates his symptoms enough for him to finish a mission. Unfortunately, it turned Picard into a raving lunatic for the duration. |

Exploited by a villain in YuYu Hakusho, by Mukuro's father, who had used her as a sex toy since birth, and threw her out after she had thrown acid on herself to make herself less appealing. The mind hug was implanted into her at a very young age, giving her conflicting feelings of joy and happiness with her father whenever there were thoughts of death and revenge. This left him safe from her but unprepared for Hiei's attack, who took this situation and made her a "sweet" birthday present, if we read "sweet" to mean "thoughtful, but still some pretty damn creepy." They're youkai, so it works. | |

Deadpool: In Deadpool 1997 #23-25, Deadpool has to save the world from a creature that would make everyone perfectly happy... so joyous in fact, that they wouldn't have free will. 'Pool is pretty mad that his big heroic act involves killing the bringer of pure bliss. His method is KICKING CAPTAIN AMERICA IN THE BALLS which turns out to be an effective method for Deadpool. | |

In the Maximum Carnage crossover, Spider-Man and his friends built a Care-Bear Stare raygun and used it to mellow out most of the villains that had teamed up with Carnage. But since Carnage had never experienced such positive emotions before, the effect on him was more akin to Mind Rape. | |

In Star Trek: The Next Generation, Sarek (Spock's dad) has Bendii's syndrome, a Vulcan disease that leaves them unable to control their emotions. A mindmeld with Picard alleviates his symptoms enough for him to finish a mission. Unfortunately, it turned Picard into a raving lunatic for the duration. | |
