Among the ways Psychic Powers, superadvanced technology, and magic can be used in combat is to manipulate the minds of others, stopping them from fighting you or making them fight for you. But not every psychic, piece of mind-altering supertech or spell of mental magic is strong enough for outright Mind Control. Instead, they may force a particular feeling upon their victim with the Emotion Bomb, which still leaves one's victims able to choose how they react but is often incapacitating just the same. The effect, which is often More than Mind Control, can also be accomplished in more "realistic" settings with a drug, fantastic or otherwise, that produces or intensifies the emotion in question. A Sub-Trope of Emotion Control, and supertrope of Supernatural Fear Inducer. Compare Mind Rape. Contrast Care-Bear Stare, which is this but with niceness, to be used against a villain. Contrast Emotion Eater, who eats emotions rather than induces them. Not to be confused with Angst Nuke, where a character blows up from emotion. |

The Nameless one from the Brimstone Angels novel The Adversary is a Chosen of Shar (goddess of darkness, nihilism, and entropy) and carries a permanent aura with her that saps life and hope from anyone in the vicinity. Prolonged exposure is sufficient to reduce Sairche (who in addition to being a poised, composed villainess is a literal devil) to a shivering wreck. | |

Worm and its sequel Ward have many capes that can influence emotions of others: Glory Girl can create an aura which causes awe in those around her — awe which tends to manifest as fear in those opposing her. It gets stuck on the "fear" setting for most of Ward due to trauma, but by the end of the story she's gained much greater control over her power and can set her aura to induce any emotion she wants. Gallant fires beams which induce random emotional states in those he hits. Heartbreaker can induce permanent emotional changes in people, which he uses to kidnap and brainwash women into his harem. He can also use a short term form of this, hitting his targets with a single concentrated blast of emotion. He often used this power to discipline his children; it's implied Regent's sociopathy is at least partially due to overuse of this ability burning out his ability to feel normal emotions. Several of his children (collectively known as the Heartbroken) also have emotion-based powers: Cherish has similar powers as her father, though non-permanently and at a longer range. She uses it to drive people to suicide. Nicholas can cause extreme fear in other people around him. Roman can cause intense, psychotic rage in his target, but it also affects himself at the same time. Aroa can fire blasts at people that cause them to enjoy pain. Candy can cause extremely intense hallucinations of pleasurable experiences tailored to her victim, which causes them to permanently hate those experiences afterward. Precipice has a minor emotion power that allows him to cause feelings of guilt and shame in his target, though not intense enough to incapacitate them. He finds it worthless, although Victoria finds a use for it: intentionally subjecting his allies to his power in the middle of a fight makes them much faster learners because the amplified feelings of shame acts as negative reinforcement. It's still not at all pleasant to go through, however. |

Herald Talia, of the Heralds of Valdemar series, is a version of The Empath who can force an emotional state on others. The first time she does it, it is during a bout of Power Incontinence, but with time and training she learns to do it at will. Fortunately for the setting, she is a good and compassionate person who wrestles with the ethics of using her Gift this way, and she never does it to anyone who doesn't deserve it. | |

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar: Lady Olynder, the Mortarch of Grief, has this as her curse and her deadliest weapon: in life, she was a serial Black Widow, who married powerful men and murdered them for their wealth, faking grief and despair in public. In death, her ghost was cursed to feel all the despair of every mortal in all eight Mortal Realms. Forever. However, she's also capable of externalizing that grief and forcing it on others, driving stalwart heroes to suicide by her mere presence. The novel Lady Of Sorrows details this from the perspective of her victims, and it's not pretty. | |

Implied in WandaVision. Episode 5 reveals that everyone in the sitcom reality can feel the grief Wanda feels over the events of Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame while they are being forced to act like typical wacky sitcom characters, but they cannot do anything about it due to said brainwashing. The only ones who appear to be exempt from this besides Wanda and Vision themselves are Wanda and Vision's kids Billy and Tommy and Agnes, who is the one responsible for much of the show's plot in the first place. | |

Flinx, main protagonist of the Humanx Commonwealth universe, has empathic powers that were originally sense-only, but received an upgrade in Flinx in Flux that allowed him to fully access his latent projective powers. He has used this ability to induce catatonic fear and/or despair in his enemies, at one point immobilizing a youth gang simply by exposing them to a glimpse of his personal angst. In Reunion, he uses his powers to seduce an employee of the Terran Shell complex in order to gain access to restricted data, and manipulates the computer itself. | |

In RWBY, the Apathy are a type of Grimm who incite apathy in their victims. Proximity to the Apathy causes a loss of other emotions, calming people down, and the number of Apathy increases the impact of their proximity to the point that they can cause an entire settlement to simply stop caring about anything and die of starvation or dehydration. At closer range, the Apathy can also unleash a piercing scream that dramatically amplifies this effect, causing victims to collapse and lose all will to fight, eventually just lying down and waiting to die. | |

Wonder Woman has an aura of truth, such that it's nearly impossible to lie to her face even when she's not using the magic lasso on you, and weaker minds are liable to just start spilling their guts from sheer proximity. Some writers extend this into a sort of aura of trust, making people calmer and more amenable in her presence to a supernatural degree even beyond what you'd expect from a hero of her stature. Genocide, a new foe introduced in Wonder Woman (2006), being an evil Frankenstein version of Diana, has traded in the aura of truth and trust for the more standard villainous aura of despair and loathing. | |

Harry Potter's world has Dementors, who guard the prison of Azkaban. Dementors sense and feed on the positive emotions, happiness and good memories of human beings, forcing them to relive their worst memories. It is notable that Dumbledore is against the use of Dementors, considering them cruel and unusual punishment (as well as a natural fifth column for Dark wizards). | |

World of Warcraft: The warlock class used to have a spell called Curse of Recklessness. It would drive the target into overconfidence, making them immune to fear effects (and ordinary fleeing, if an NPC) and hit harder but causing them to drop their defence (reducing their armour stat). The spell was later removed, and the armour reduction effect combined with another curse. The Sha in the latest expansion have this power and use it liberally to their advantage when they lack the power to simply manifest and attack things. The Sha of Anger will Emotion Bomb a village of nomads and send them all into a blind rage directed at anything nearby for any possible reason, Despair will bomb its opposition into depressed lethargy, Doubt will bomb its foes into frantic indecision, and Fear will bomb as expected and has even managed to mobilize an entire civilization into military action by instilling fear for their lives in the empress and her drones. |

In Higurashi: When They Cry, Hinamizawa Syndrome is at least as much a Fear/Paranoia Plague as a Hate Plague. Although the characters start attacking each other, rather than being motivated by outright anger, frequently, it's a poorly conceived self-preservation method. Keiichi in Onikakushi-hen in particular comes to mind. | |

Geist: The Sin-Eaters likewise has various ways to make this work through the Passion Key. The Passion Boneyard allows a Sin-Eater to enter a trance and assume control over an area, where he can manipulate the emotions of everyone therein (and gain benefits when they act towards a certain emotional resonance). The Passion Curse, on the other hand, hits a target with an uncontrollable burst of the Sin-Eater's choice of emotion... and higher levels make it spread to everyone the target touches. | |

Codex Alera: Firecrafters can inflame the emotions of others. Senators and Lords of the realm that can firecraft generally use this ability during their speeches to influence the listeners. Also, Earthcrafters can create lust, which many exotic dancers use to their advantage — though being able to throw your clientele farther than you trust them doesn't hurt, either! While politicians use firecrafting subtly, it goes up a notch. In the first book Count Gram creates a fear strong enough to drive back a barbarian horde, and Gauis Sextus can knock entire legions of veteran soldiers unconscious — even killing some — through sheer mind-breaking terror. Watercrafters have a lot of trouble turning off their psychic sense, such that cities can be actually painful for strong watercrafters from the steadholts. It's also a great way to neutralize them in a fight — just give in to a strong emotion like panic. Tavi takes out a notably insane expert swordswoman by using his watercraft to figure out which taunts would be most effective, causing her to lose her cool and make mistakes. |

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: When Liquid shuts off SOP the first and second time, the soldiers affected immediately experience all the emotion the system had prevented them from feeling. This involves such graphic displays as soldiers unable to stop laughing as they beat the shit out of their comrades, and other soldiers simply killing themselves as fear and sadness overwhelms them. Most become brain-damaged from the extreme emotional trauma they endure. Similarly, Snake himself can get four kinds of "Emotive Ammo": crying, screaming, laughter, and rage. Crying makes them drop their weapons and break down in tears, screaming makes them flee in terror, laughter turns them insane and makes them fire on allies and enemies alike, and rage makes them rush the enemy in a way that would make Leeroy Jenkins proud. |

In .hack//G.U., this appears to be what happens to people infected with AIDA: it doesn't force an emotion on someone, but it amplifies their existing emotions to extreme levels. This is almost universally a bad thing, regardless of which emotion was amplified. A few examples: Atoli. Sweet and bubbly, but hides a need to be accepted due to a background of abuse. AIDA amplifies the need for acceptance, making her extremely subservient to Sakaki and her Avatar Innis is unlocked in a fit of rage towards Haseo for not paying attention to her as much. Sakaki. Puts himself forward as a defender-of-the-weak paladin type, but AIDA amplifies his own power complexes and makes him one of the most active villains of the series, driving him mad the less Haseo is able to stay under his thumb and fight back. Ovan's cool, confident, mysterious persona hides that AIDA is in his massive cannon-arm and primarily amplifies desperation: doing anything to get his sister free from a coma even if it includes manipulating a bunch of people and putting even those who he would consider friends at risk of the same fate if it meant having her back. |

In Wax and Wayne, Marsh needs to talk to Marasi in private. Unfortunately, that someone is believed to be The Grim Reaper, and is generally considered terrifying to most of the populace, so to get her to chase him, he slams her with curiosity, and once she sees who he is, he deadens all emotion to stop her from panicking. Marasi intellectually knows that she'd be terrified, if she could feel anything at all. | |

In The Child of Azkaban, Voldemort reveals to Harry that both he and Harry possess a rare magical skill (other than being a parseltongue) that causes them to emit a magical aura that enforces a specific temperament onto those around them. Voldemort emits an aura of awe, ensuring that those around him — be they allies or enemies — notice him and take him seriously. Harry on the other hand enforces a sense of Reason, causing those around him to remain calm and think rationally, with prolonged exposure healing mental trauma, as it slowly did with the Longbottoms and the inmates in Azkaban. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: There are a bunch of emotion-affecting spells, including the one actually named Emotion. (That spell includes Despair, Fear, Love and Rage) Sympathy and Antipathy are two other good ones. Cast on a place, they make you very strongly want to stay there, or get out as soon as possible. Cast on an object, they make you either covet it and obsess over possessing it, or want absolutely nothing to do with it. Furthermore, they only affect specific beings determined when you cast the spell, leaving all other beings unaffected. Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter. It not only incapacitates the target, but also weakens their muscles for a while after they calm down. In 1st Edition, the psionic ability "Telempathic Projection" could send an emotion to a target creature. Calm Emotions is the opposite, damping strong emotions within a target area. While it can be a useful way to have a sensible conversation with someone, in such a combat-oriented game it's perhaps most useful as an offensive maneuver, making a target so mellow that they fail to adequately defend themselves. In the compatible supplement The Tome of Mighty Magic by North Pole Productions, the spell Emotion Alteration can instill any emotion desired in the target, such as loyalty, panic or love. |

Steven Universe: Blue Diamond can force other Gems (including Steven, but not humans or Lion) to feel the same sadness she feels (pictured). She can possibly do the same with other emotions, but she's always been sad when we see her. It's usually unintentional whenever Blue starts crying in sadness, but she's also able to weaponize it to bring hardened warriors to their knees mid-battle, rendering them immobile and unable to act. Lapis Lazuli is resistant, as she's used to feeling miserable. Blue can also cause other Gems to share her Tears of Joy, but they seem more annoyed than happy. By Steven Universe: Future, Blue has found out how to share feelings of happiness, though by creatings clouds instead of a area of effect. | |

The Lord of the Rings: It's implied that a slow-acting version of this mixed with mundane counterintelligence got to Denethor (book only), finally driving him to an attempted murder-suicide. This is why you shouldn't engage in direct psychic contact with the immensely powerful Big Bad (Denethor has one of the palantÃri, or Seeing Stones, like the one that Pippin took from Gandalf and looked in). In both the books and films, the Nazgûl have this power, mixed with fear. |

Star Trek: A less-publicized race is the Deltans, a species that look like hairless humans (they have eyebrows and eyelashes, but male and female are both completely bald). They naturally produce universally recognized pheromones, and when in Starfleet have to take pheromone-production-inhibitors to keep everyone (of either gender, apparently) from trying to have sex with them. Polywater (featured in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The Naked Time" and the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "The Naked Now") surreptitiously replaces the water in any organic systems it comes in contact with, spreading like a disease. It puts humanoids into an intoxicated state when they're infected, and one of the most noticeable effects of a polywater outbreak is that suddenly Everybody Has Lots of Sex. |

Freya's "vybe" power in Magellan falls into this category. In a more benign application, she can make a large group of people collapse into helpless laughter, a good way to break up a fight. In more desperate circumstances, though, she can do a "full-spectrum vybe" which apparently makes someone experience every possible emotion simultaneously at full force, enough to render them catatonic for hours or days. | |

Yu-Gi-Oh! GX also plays with this trope by having Rei Saotome (Blair Flannigan) initially run a deck focused on dropping Maiden Counters on her opponent's monsters and having them serve her. While the way Judai (Jaden) trumps this is within the boundaries of the rules, it still focuses on Burst Lady (Burstinatrix) being female, which is overall irrelevant to the duel at hand. | |

The Elder Scrolls has multiple spells to this effect. For added effect, each can be crafted into a massive Area of Effect spell if you choose, making it even more "bomb"-like. Examples: The Calm spell will turn hostile foes non-hostile for the duration of the spell. The Frenzy spell will turn non-hostile foes hostile for the duration of the spell. The Rally spell will turn neutral targets into allies for the duration of the spell. the Fear spell will make a target flee from anything hostile to them for the duration of the spell. |

The DCU: The Seven Deadly Sins are demons who can make people fall under the influence of their respective sins. The Shazam! villain Sabbac briefly merges with all seven demons and gains their powers. The first thing he does is to use Lust to make a prison complex have a massive orgy just for kicks. Wonder Woman has an aura of truth, such that it's nearly impossible to lie to her face even when she's not using the magic lasso on you, and weaker minds are liable to just start spilling their guts from sheer proximity. Some writers extend this into a sort of aura of trust, making people calmer and more amenable in her presence to a supernatural degree even beyond what you'd expect from a hero of her stature. Genocide, a new foe introduced in Wonder Woman (2006), being an evil Frankenstein version of Diana, has traded in the aura of truth and trust for the more standard villainous aura of despair and loathing. |

Judgment Rites features The Savant, an Energy Being comprised of pure emotion. However, the Savant wishes to maintain a state of pure joy, and therefore excretes all other emotions in the form of large gem-like rocks, which can be found littered around its Pocket Dimension. When touched, these rocks trigger an intense emotion in the victim, corresponding to the color of the rock. This nearly causes the Landing Party to attack one another, break down in hopelessness, or cower in fear. In the end, Kirk throws these emotional excretions back into the Savant in order to get its attention. | |

"Search by the Mule": While in the first chapter, in conversation with Bail Channis, the Mule forced him to feel overwhelming grief, in direct response to his delight. It is later revealed that the Mule was testing him, and he managed to block the Mule's attack briefly, something only another person with Psychic Powers could do, which reveals him to be an agent of the Second Foundation. | |

A number of Touhou Project characters are known to manipulate emotions: The Prismriver Sisters do so through Magic Music: Lunasa induces depression, Merlin induces manic delight, and Lyrica neutralizes feelings altogether. Reisen has an indirect version — she's capable of speeding up or slowing down peoples' brainwaves (inflicting restlessness, apathy, etc.), which she uses in conjunction with illusions in order to screw with her opponents' heads. Parsee is a Green-Eyed Monster who can inflict her jealousy on others (and frequently does, since she can't travel freely and is mad with envy for those who can, driving her to attack them). Hata no Kokoro, a spirit born from a collection of theatre masks, can control emotions in general. In her debut game this gives her a Stance System, allowing her to hot-switch her religious affiliation (a modifier normally selected at the start of a match) as well as inflict such changes on her opponent. |

This is one of Red's specialties in Magic: The Gathering, since it is the colour of emotion; most of the time its anger or fear (since it is a game about fighting, after all), but occasionally love/lust is also induced. Black also gets a few on virtue of being the colour of darkness, inducing despair and fear. | |

Used comically in Get Smart where Maxwell Smart (Don Adams) and Ozark Annie (Carol Burnett) are escaping from a KAOS lab. They're developing airborne gasses that instill fear or lust — but so far only able to affect females. The two flee into a room with the first gas, and Annie dissolves into horrified shrieking fits at Max. She runs into the next room, Max cautiously pursues her — and she's become an aggressive, heavy-breathing vamp, to his alarm. | |

A rare positive example of the trope is used in The Charmed Sphere. Magic users can't use their gifts to harm another living creature, but the tiny kingdom of Aronsdown still makes use of Military Mages. Protagonist Chime is an emerald-level mage capable of casting powerful mood-detecting, mood-boosting, and mood-altering spells found in the green spectrum (as well as the pain-soothing orange spells and emotion-soothing yellow spells). When she uses her powers to bolster Aronsdale's army, she does so by pumping up the morale and confidence of Aronsdale's troops as they face the invading army of Harsdown. | |

A Wolf In The Garden: Leman Russ is sent on a quest where he must complete a trial for each of the (non-Chaos versions of the) gods. Slaanesh's trial is forcing Leman to walk through a hallway, where each step exposes him to a different vision. In order: he experiences the despair and humiliation of Lorgar and the Word Bearers when the Emperor rejected them at Monarchia; the fear and misery of Mortarion and the Death Guard when they were suffering from Nurgle's Rot, but unable to die; the pain Angron felt when the Butcher's Nails were implanted; Konrad's despair on the night he committed suicide; the day he burned Prospero; and many, many more, finally culminating with the Emperor's regret and Horus' fear during their duel at the end of the Heresy. | |

Chronicles of Darkness: Changeling: The Lost offers several Emotion Bombs to the members of the Great Courts. Each Court (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter) has a Fleeting [Season] Contract list centered around manipulation of the Court's ruling emotion (desire, wrath, fear, sorrow). In addition, high-powered changelings have the ability to inflict bedlam, which hits everyone in the immediate area with an intense dose of an emotion. Geist: The Sin-Eaters likewise has various ways to make this work through the Passion Key. The Passion Boneyard allows a Sin-Eater to enter a trance and assume control over an area, where he can manipulate the emotions of everyone therein (and gain benefits when they act towards a certain emotional resonance). The Passion Curse, on the other hand, hits a target with an uncontrollable burst of the Sin-Eater's choice of emotion... and higher levels make it spread to everyone the target touches. |

Tamami Kobayashi in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable has a Stand called The Lock. It manifests inside a victim when they experience guilt, passively amplifying the sense of guilt and physically weighing them down. The more guilt a person feels, the larger and heavier The Lock becomes. If the Lock becomes large enough, the victim can be driven to commit suicide under the weight of their guilt. Because Tamami is an experienced, amoral con man, he has no problem rigging scenarios to plant a seed of doubt about his targets' guilt, thus allowing The Lock to take effect. | |

Warhammer 40,000: Khorne has this for his followers, particularly in the World Eater Chaos Space Marines. Though most of them underwent voluntary lobotomy beforehand. More to the point, Slaanesh is the Chaos god of lust, pleasure and emotion and experience in general as long as it can be experienced to excess. Inflicting overwhelming emotion on people is both a reward for worshippers and attacks on non-worshippers. As far as Slaanesh is concerned, there's really no difference. Nurgle is also considered the god of despair and other associated negative emotions. However, there tends to be more focus on disease and death, with the emotion side of things generally being a side effect rather deliberately used as attacks. |

Magus of El Goonish Shive can't cause or change emotions, but he can strongly amplify existing ones, causing people to act on what they are feeling at the moment. It doesn't always work; he was first seennote 1 The main cast can't see him, only the reader and a few othersnote 2 It's implied it was actually used, unseen, much earlier on Tedd to make him zap Elliot trying to amplify Ellen's impulse to zap Elliot with her Gender Bender beam, but she resisted it and zapped Tedd instead before passing out from the effort of resisting the impulse. | |

The Ilivais units in Ilivais X (especially the Phonos Weapons) tend to utilize emotion as a control scheme, at the very least. The Phonos Weapons and their pilots have ridiculously strong Drive Cores, and all of them except for Iriana have been reduced to near Soulless Shells that only live to feel their set emotion. Iriana has a weird thing that's caused due to X's Drive Core being essentially a really powerful version of the standard, and uses this because she's trying to become an Emotionless Girl instead of a Love Freak. This at least partially explains why she isn't as good at piloting it as Mille. | |

Daughter of the Sun: Xera, Goddess of Melancholy, has these. When she's around, anyone who's feeling grief or sorrow has it amplified greatly, to the point this can manifest itself as a wraith that is separate from their body. She can also inflict an emotional attack on someone by touching them, amplifying any past sadness they felt with a phrase connected to it. It's so devastating a person who's affected by this can be left temporarily stricken. | |

In Nomine: The Habbalah impose anger, hatred, depression, love/attraction, fear, or nearly any other emotion upon others. They can also impose "emptiness", which is essentially a state of total emotionless apathy. However, if the target successfully resists, the emotions will sometimes backlash upon the demon, who can either accept them, and be affected by their own power, or absorb them and eat dissonance. If the demon is subjected to his own emptiness, however, there is a small chance that he may instantly realise he is a demon... since Habbalah by default are deluded into thinking they are angels. | |

Uplift: The Gubru in The Uplift War have spheres which broadcast signals which produce certain emotional responses in anyone who gets too near. Fibbin, one of the main characters, encounters one set which broadcasts fear, and one which broadcasts self-consciousness. Fortunately, neither set is a match for a determined neo-chimp "with delusions of adequacy". In Startide Rising many psi-weapons are mentioned in the massive space battle happening overhead. The Streaker crew use a psi-bomb as a distress beacon. The Karrank% unleash a psionic assault that temporarily disorients every non-cetacean sophont in the system, the humans are less affected than most since their brains have some similarity to their dolphin clients. |

Right off the bat, Omori has the skill Sad Poem to make a character Sad, Aubrey can make a character Happy with the skill Pep Talk, and Kel can Annoy someone to make them Angry. Hero also learns Massage very early on, a skill that removes a character's Emotion. As the game progresses, you can find many more ways to inflict or remove Emotions. | |

In Wax and Wayne, Marsh needs to talk to Marasi in private. Unfortunately, that someone is believed to be The Grim Reaper, and is generally considered terrifying to most of the populace, so to get her to chase him, he slams her with curiosity, and once she sees who he is, he deadens all emotion to stop her from panicking. Marasi intellectually knows that she'd be terrified, if she could feel anything at all. |

The Psycho-Man, a villain from Fantastic Four, has three settings on his emotio-caster: Fear, Hate, and Doubt (the last of which has similar effects to Despair, but is less likely to produce suicides). He is usually a serious villain who uses the 'caster to Mind Rape his foes, but on one occasion, he attempts to get the rather stupid "hero" Drax the Destroyer to do his bidding and is brought to lament that he needs some new settings on the thing — hate makes Drax lash out at everything, including him, while fear and doubt make him cower. | |

Finger Guns: The finger gun ability that the kids have can control people's emotions. Two fingers (the ring and middle finger) together can make someone angry, pointing just one (ring finger) can calm them down. Wes is good at the first ability, Sadie is good with latter. Crossing the middle and ring finger can apparently either make someone brave and/or make them feel good about themselves. | |

The fangame Pokémon Clover has the "Gay Agenda" move, which does the same as attract, except that it only works on Pokémon of the same gender. | |

Wayward Sons: Frodaity can do this to anyone. She's used it to make people pass out from lust (directed at her), and caused sadness in a couple of enemies so they couldn't fight back (though that was a staged fight). | |

The Parabola Gun in Mega Man Legends 2 causes the target to feel one emotion only: uncontrollable laughter. It's so potent that it works on both organic (Glyde) and non-organic (Glyde's birdbots) beings. The laughter is so bad that two of Glyde's birdbots start clubbing the bridge and blowing up Glyde's main ship just to get the laughter out while Glyde can do nothing but watch. | |

In Faded Blue, like his mother, Steven can immobilize Gems by overloading them with negative emotions. He also has a lightning attack that forces people to listen to their own worst fears about themselves. | |

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers episode "One Million Emotions" has the team seeking to recover a stolen "sensation doll" created as a piece of art by an extinct alien culture. Anyone who makes direct contact with the doll is deluged with "one million emotions" all at once (or as Goose calls it, "the emotional electric chair"). One of the thieves who touches the doll is reduced to an insane wreck. note He gets better in later episodes, though. | |
