Criminal Amnesiac	comment	One consequence of Easy Amnesia is that a character can be up and about, wandering around with all their faculties about them but with no clue who they actually are. If their arch-enemies find them in this state, they may decide to turn a liability into an asset, by convincing the character that they're really on the bad guys' side. Thus, the rest of the protagonists find themselves having to not only fight against the amnesiac character, with all his abilities turned to the service of antagonism, but somehow rescue and Deprogram him. If the experience has a larger toll on a character's loyalties or sense of self, even after regaining their memory, it becomes Amnesiac Dissonance. Used mostly by the kind of show that would use Easy Amnesia in the first place. By necessity this pretty much requires an Idiot Hero to make any kind of sense- one hopes that most people would at least try to figure out who they are before quickly agreeing to a plan that involves killing or seriously maiming a large number of people. This can be averted if the bad guy did a more thorough job of brainwashing than just saying "clearly I am your friend" and the amnesiac just took his word for it. Then again, Amnesiacs are Innocent. If the lie comes from the character himself, it's Amnesiac Liar. If it happens to a villain, it's Amnesiac Villain Joins the Heroes. Contrast with Forgot the Call.

She upgrades to a eyebrow-raising black costume (complete with whip) and helps Abis take over the country, but then betrays him and decides to promote herself to main villain after realizing he's an imbecile (until Aladdin is able to help her remember her true past).

All the while, Excel is replaced by a fake Excel so neither Elgala nor Hyatt realize she's gone.

Hyatt gets amnesia in the manga too, and ends up getting engaged to her neighbor Watanabe. Until Il Palazzo restores Hyatt's memories and she leaves with him.

The first person to come up is Carmelita, the police officer who's been after Sly, and learning that he has amnesia, convinces him that he was her partner. The variation comes when an epilogue scene reveals that Sly doesn't actually have amnesia, and is just faking it to get out of the thieving business, which also left the series open enough for a sequel.

Criminal Amnesiac / int_3f734c20	comment	Played with in Dark Matter (2015) with One and Six. The six main crew members are all amnesiacs using numbers as names who learn from their wanted files at the end of the pilot episode that their original selves were ruthless criminals (except Five, the Mysterious Waif, who has no profile). In truth, One and Six are not really Jace Corso and Griffin Jones, respectively; One is a philanthropist CEO named Derrick Moss who impersonated Corso through plastic surgery to get close to the murderer of his wife (Marcus Boone/Three, or so Moss believed) and Six is an undercover cop named Kal Varrick tasked with bringing them all in, whose criminal identity is fake. But now without their original memories to go on, they believe they really are part of the Raza crew like the others. However, both of them remain among the more moral members of the cast and are a big part of why the crew as a whole, while still participating in illegal activity and mercenary work to make their living (One and Six included), now shies away from the more brutal sort of jobs they used to take on pre-mindwipe (like wiping out entire planetary populations so that the corporate overlords could take over their land). Six is told of his original mission offscreen during "Episode 8" and reluctantly fulfills it at the end of the first season, but changes his mind at the beginning of Season 2 after seeing how corrupt the Galactic Authority can be and helps the others escape prison, becoming a wanted outlaw for real. This originally would have been true of One, too, if he hadn't been killed off by Executive Meddling.

When some local revolutionaries try to beat him up and fail miserably, they ask him to become their leader to Take Over the World. Superman quickly decides that this priority is way more interesting than figuring out who he is, and topples the government to pave way for the revolution's primary objective- raising taxes. Naturally, it falls to the other Superfriends to stop him. And yes, that episode is every bit as ridiculous as those pot holes imply.

Criminal Amnesiac / int_526d4c5c	comment	A key plot point in Knights of the Old Republic is that the player is actually Darth Revan, former master to the game's current Big Bad. The game drops subtle hints and references. Interestingly the amnesia is done by the Jedi Council, the good guys of the setting. If you embrace The Dark Side, then it's inverted and Evil All Along, if you choose the Light Side ending, then it's Heel–Face Turn via Becoming the Mask. Either way, it's an excellent Tomato in the Mirror Plot Twist worthy of Star Wars. In Star Wars: The Old Republic, it happens again. The Dreaded spymaster The Shroud turns out to be the silly, sweet droid with memory problems that's been helping the player all along. In the end, the droid doesn't want to be a bad guy, but it's up to you if you destroy her or recruit her.

This is helped thanks to some video of J. Jonah Jameson bad-mouthing him as usual. In this version, Spidey is reminded of who he really is by a young girl who's his biggest fan. Here, the device is an actual "neural neutralizer" and Ock uses it on Spider-Man on purpose, rather than it being an interaction between a nuclear nullifier and his radioactive blood.

She cured herself of the amnesia, then tried to kill herself when her old, murderous personality conflicted with her new, peaceful one. Eventually, she re-amnesiaed herself so she could live a peaceful life on the planet where these wacky adventures took place. Subverted again in another episode, "Collateral Damage", where a man on another planet who murdered his ex-wife used a device to erase his own memories of the murder and transfer them to SG-1's current leader, whom his ex-wife had spent the night with. However, since the real murderer had been in love with the murder victim, he then helped solve the murder, and then had his memory of the fact he killed her erased again instead of being put in jail, because his government considered his research too important.

In The Golden Age of Comic Books, Catwoman herself was a criminal amnesiac, without even a villain talking her into it. She had been a flight attendant who suffered a head injury in a plane crash and lost her memories, with her subconscious memories of growing up in a pet shop causing her to become Catwoman. A later Retcon said she'd made this up to facilitate her Heel–Face Turn.

Elisa is of course uncertain whom to trust, but ultimately refuses to cooperate with the alien considering that the gargoyles evidently have not done anything to deserve being treated like that ("that" being that he was going to execute them in a rather messy fashion). At that, the alien stands down since any beings who can inspire that kind of personal loyalty under such circumstances are likely not his enemies either, and the memory wipe would have removed any brainwashing the gargoyles had done to Elisa if they really had been working for the Space-Spawn.

They don't have the souls of the original and thus are more akin to evil clones. Lust wants to become human, while Sloth is trying to replace the Elric brothers with Wrath.

Fortunately, Orion and Lightray helped restore Superman's memory and true self. Supergirl story arc "The Super-Steed of Steel": After losing his memories, Comet the Super-Horse is found by bank-robbers, who pretend to be his friends so that he helps them out. One early comic had Lois Lane suffer shock-induced amnesia after thinking Clark died, and subsequently believing herself to be a dangerous criminal. The Leper from Krypton has criminal boss Ventor brainwash Clark Kent into forgetting his real identity and believing he is one of Ventor's henchmen. Legion of Super-Heroes: Some space pirates did this to Ultra Boy once. When it actually came down to fighting, he didn't like it. He tried fighting on the other side; that was much more natural to him.
