Basically the power to discover other people's fears. Often necessary for a "What Do They Fear?" Episode. This power can come in several forms: Fear Perception: The power to know what a person's fears are. For example, one could see a picture in your head or something similar. One then has different options to use this info. This type does not necessarily include the ability to project those fears into people's heads and they may have to be exploited in a more normal way, such as dropping them in a snake pit or a sewer full of rats. Fear Inducement: The power to bring a person's fears to life without actually having any knowledge about what those fears are. This power does not deliberately cause a person to believe they are, for example, vomiting worms, it's just the effect of the power on that particular person. It is sort of like infecting people with dread. Fear Invocation: The power to see a person's fears and/or show them their fears (if they have several). Control is near-absolute and often includes intensity and duration. A character with this power will usually have some kind of psychic or illusionary power to bring the fears to life. It goes without saying that this is usually a bad guy power. If it's a power used by a Decadent Court, Omniscient Council of Vagueness or just a plain evil enough version of The Government, then it will almost always take the form of Room 101. It can, however, be used by a Terror Hero who ultimately fights for the good guys — though, naturally, these tend to be some shade of Anti-Hero. Contrast Your Heart's Desire, which is knowing what another creature wishes for most. |

Belgariad: In the prequels, Polgara's Mind Rape persuasion method is revealed to be this. It only failed once, and that was because the target had made sure to drug himself sufficiently that he was lucid but nevertheless high as a kite (note that if she put much effort into it, she probably could have un-drugged him like Belgarath did in the prequel). | |

Taken: The aliens' Psychic Powers allow them to use a person's fears against them. This is exhibited in their ability to show people all of their memories and all of their fears and their tendency to create images of something that scared a person immediately before abducting them. For instance, the carny that frightened Jesse as a child. In "Dropping the Dishes", Captain Walker is terrified when a cockroach falls on him, explaining to his amused fellow soldiers that they have frightened him ever since he was a child. In "John", Walker is swarmed by cockroaches that only he can see after entering the alien ship created by Allie from people's thoughts. |

The Taking: The invaders besieging the town inherently know what people's fears and insecurities are and use them to drive people to despair so that they will be of no help to the world's children and thus have their souls taken. For Molly, this takes the form of poems she likes being mockingly quoted at her out of nowhere and encounters with her Ax-Crazy father, whom she fears most. | |

Avengers: The Initiative: Trauma actually transforms into what his target fears, giving him whatever physical attributes and/or powers that go along with the new form. This combination of psychic powers and shapeshifting was considered a "holy grail" of mutant powers by Gyrich. Also, he's not really a mutant at all, but the half-human son of the dream demon Nightmare. It should be noted that this is imperfect — he went through four forms trying to find a weakness in the Hulk (who, as it turns out, isn't afraid of anything), and got tossed into a parked car for his troubles. | |

Dark Sun has id fiends, intelligent oversized lizards that can psionically draw out their prey's fears — "Against reason, a creature's deepest fears skulk nearby, lurking behind rocks or whispering from shadows." Those who fail their saves against this effect suffer combat penalties, which the id fiends capitalize upon when they pounce. | |

He-Man and the Masters of the Universe (2002): A comic based on the cartoon depicted the old toyline villain Scare-Glow as having Fear Invocation powers. He psychically discerns a person's greatest fear before trapping them in an illusion based on it. Apparently, it's harder to figure out what certain people are afraid of, but he thinks that if he waits long enough he'll discover what even Skeletor fears, knowledge he can then use to free himself from Skeletor's service. | |

Each companion may comment about what it is they see; Cassandra sees maggots, for example, while for the Inquisitor it's spiders. | |

Harry Potter: Boggarts are Invokers, shapeshifting creatures that morph into the worst fear of whomever faces it, whether that form is inherently intimidating or not. Dementors or giant spiders? Scary. The image of a full moon to a werewolf or the image of office supplies to an outdoorsman? Harmless. | |

The Dresden Files: Demons that feed on fear are called phobophages and have a degree of this as a matter of course. The variety that appear in the 8th book, Proven Guilty, are called Fetches and their intended victim is at a horror movie convention. This results in Captain Ersatzen and Shout Outs aplenty. Certain demons and other nasties have a variation: they instinctually know how to cause pain to their victims, but only as information, not as understanding. For instance, a demon knows to attack a family man through his children, but not why. |

SCP Foundation: SCP-825 is a helmet that has this effect on its wearers, presenting them with increasingly horrific visions based on their worst fears. SCP-2006 is a shape-shifter with the power to transform into what it thinks a person fears. The Foundation's containment procedures make sure that the entity believes that cheesy sci-fi horror movie monsters are the things humanity fears the most. It's classified as "Keter" because its limitless shape-shifting potential means that it could cause The End of the World as We Know It if it ever escaped and discovered what really scares people. A nuclear holocaust, for example. |

Super Paper Mario: Parodied in the final level. You're asked what your worst fears are, and then have to go through rooms that contain these, but savvy players can select healing items as answers, causing them to appear. You can also say that Francis (a nerdy chameleon you fought earlier in the game) is your worst fear, causing him to be brought to you and angering him about being interrupted. | |

Lilo & Stitch: The Series: Experiment 300 (Spooky) is an Invoker by way of shapeshifting. In its titular episode—a Halloween Special, of course—it mimics a whole roomful of water and nearly drowns Stitch (Stitch is afraid of water because he can't float in it), and then mimics Nani's fear of having Lilo taken away by mimicking the social worker Cobra Bubbles. Jumba claims that its impression of his ex-wife is very scary. | |

Alias: A variation of Fear Inducement appears in Volume Four: Jessica comes face-to-face with occasional Daredevil villain (and Jessica's archenemy) the Purple Man, whose body secretes chemical pheromones which, when inhaled or absorbed through the skin, allow him to control their actions by verbal suggestions. He orders Jessica to imagine the most horrifying thing she can envision, which turns out to be the corpse of her boyfriend (Antman II) covered in ants lying in her bed. The Purple Man comments that he can't see what she's seeing: "it doesn't work that way." | |

NiGHTS into Dreams…: Wizeman, being the god and creator of nightmares, is implied to have this power. He can also alter the dreams of visitors or create nightmares in order to take advantage of these fears. He even uses it in the second game to steal Helen's red idea by removing all light from her dream (Helen is deathly afraid of the dark). | |

The X-Files: "Blood" dealt with people whose phobias were heightened to unbearable levels because they were exposed to drug called LSD-M and they were possibly receiving subliminal messages. (Or they might have been hallucinating them.) The fears included Claustrophobia, fear of being raped and fear of blood. "Wetwired": Government controlled people through Subliminal Seduction transferred through TV broadcasting and caused them very vivid Hallucinations of their worst fears which compelled them to murder even their loved ones. Scully thought that Mulder is collaborating with The Conspiracy and he helped them to abduct her. In "X-Cops", the monster of the week could sense people's worst fear and made them real. Some were literal monsters (a wasp man or a generic villainous killer). A man panicked because he thought his partner is going to leave him. One woman died of exotic disease simply because Scully happened to mention its name. |

Dungeons & Dragons: Arcane spells phantasmal killer and weird are Fear Inducers, as they do not require knowledge of their victim's worst fear in order for them to work. Warriors of Heaven has a nonlethal version of the first, phantasmal terror. 'A Guide to the Ethereal Plane' introduces the unfortunate result of phantasmal killer turning real, as illusions sometimes do there — Fær, the monster who polymorphs into the victim's nightmare and kills by touch, but isn't resisted as easily as the original spell (it is for real this time). The Dream Larva is the manifestation of a god's nightmare, with the ability to shape itself into anyone's greatest fear. Dark Sun has id fiends, intelligent oversized lizards that can psionically draw out their prey's fears — "Against reason, a creature's deepest fears skulk nearby, lurking behind rocks or whispering from shadows." Those who fail their saves against this effect suffer combat penalties, which the id fiends capitalize upon when they pounce. |

Galaxy of Fear: The Nightmare Machine: The titular machine can invoke fears in other characters, though some characters note with alarm that machines shouldn't be able to know what those specific fears are. It's not a machine. The fears are amazingly powerful hallucinations, though not always internally consistent, and subject to Year Inside, Hour Outside. Eppon in Army of Terror also has this ability. | |

Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines: In "Spy in the Sky", (Fun-In #3, August 1970, Gold Key), Dick Dastardly sends Muttley on a secret mission to learn Yankee Doodle Pigeon's greatest fear. Sensing a spy in his midst, Yankee Doodle makes Muttley think he's scared of lightning. Armed with this information, the Vulture Squadron takes off corralling thunderclouds to push in the pigeon's direction, but it backfires — Yankee Doodle's flight helmet is equipped with lightning rods. | |

Galaxy of Terror: This is the central concept: a group of space travelers sent on a rescue mission are trapped on a planet with a mysterious pyramid that's revealed to be able to bring the characters' worst fears to life. These manifestations are usually monsters that kill them. For example, one character is terrified of maggots, which leads to her squicky death. | |

Batman: The Scarecrow uses a hallucination-inducing gas to discover and induce a person's greatest fear. (Ironically, poetic justice proves his own greatest fear to be... a fear of BATS!) Cornelius Stirk wanders into this territory as well. He's a telepath who can make other people see what he wants, which he uses to both make himself appear as someone they trust and to prey on their fears. |

Child of the Storm has boggarts as a matter of course, and the Spirit of the Fallen Fortress in the sequel, which is essentially a cross between a boggart, a Dementor, and Hannibal Lecter. The resultant Eldritch Abomination reads its victim's mind, takes the form of their worst fears and slowly torments them through various forms of Mind Rape until they go insane, before killing them and eating their souls. It's killed gods before. However, its abilities are less effective against those who've faced their fears before - Sirius, who spent 12 years in Azkaban, is mostly unbothered and actually finds it cathartic, and Harry's psychic defences mean its tactics aren't as effective (though it does rattle him, badly, for a little while). | |

Criminal Minds: One killer of the week was a Psycho Psychologist who did this mundanely—he interviewed people new to the area about their greatest fears (which were of course all situations he could replicate to harm them—nobody said they feared public speaking, or even spiders), then killed them in what he claimed was an "experiment" to reduce their fear. | |

Luigi's Mansion: Madame Clairvoya tells Luigi that Bowser may be behind the ghost army while the leader is clearly King Boo: however, the Koopa King appears in the final battle as a mecha-suit for the Big Bad. One possible interpretation is that King Boo knows what Luigi fears and that he has less experience in fighting Bowser than Mario does, which is why the Boisterous Bruiser antagonist is represented as a bloodthirsty beast. | |

Captain SNES: The Game Masta: Daos, as Sinistral of Fear, has this ability. Alex successfully bluffs Daos by challenging Daos to name his worst fear, and after trying to do just that, Daos believes Alex has a powerful mental shield, since all Daos saw was a blinking smiley face. (Actually Evil Otto, an entity that genuinely terrifies Alex.) | |

Midnighters: The third book has a peculiar scene where Rex, the group's Half-Human Hybrid, attempts to intimidate a minor character. He somehow knows (without knowing how he knows) that said character is afraid of snakes, and his appearance and posture shift in just such a manner as to bring up thoughts of snakes, without changing blatantly enough to be obvious Shapeshifting. | |

Loom: The Terror draft allows the user to become whatever the target fears the most. It's also a genuine transformation rather than just an illusion; if you use it on the dragon (who is, ironically, a pyrophobe), you briefly become a blazing fire that can ignite nearby things. | |

Lensman: The series offers an unusual example of the good guys having and using this capability. In all cases, it's used against people who have led straight-out revolting, disgusting, criminal, and evil lives, in essence letting them be judged by their own consciences, and in all cases but one, it is lethal. Justified in-universe in that the lethal uses are in the context of an ignored warning not to re-enter Arisian space and against a murderer who would have been executed in any case. The third is as an exercise in the true nature of mercy - or otherwise. | |

Paperinik New Adventures Trauma was a Fear Inducer, creating fear in his enemy and then eating it to transform the victims in the mindless Coolflames. In the sequel, PK2, we have Korinna, a Fear Invoker who uses her power to create a small army convinced she is the only one capable of stopping the things they are afraid of. |

Charmed: Barbas, the Demon of Fear, is a Perceiver and Invoker who uses his powers to literally scare people to death. Played by Billy Drago (John Bly from The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.), he made several appearances throughout the duration of the show, becoming important enough to have a Good Counterpart shown in the Mirror Universe episode. The sheer contrast between the personalities and actions of the two is rather hilarious. | |

Saint Seiya: Phoenix Ikki was initially introduced as a bad guy with the ability to Invoke Fear. What makes his case pretty interesting is that he eventually undergoes a Heel–Face Turn, yet keeps his "Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist", as a form of Cool and Unusual Punishment, making it sort of a Subversion of Bad Powers, Bad People. The technique digs up what will inflict the most damage to your mind, and if you lack willpower, it WILL One-Hit Kill you. And even if you DO have the willpower to not die from the mental blow, odds are you will end up extremely weakened from the shock and be easy prey. Well, there is ONE instance of an opponent that was able to NOT ONLY shake it off like nothing, but actually inflict it back on him, but we're talking about the one Gold Saint specializing in meditation, peace of mind and closest to the Gods. Interestingly, this technique even gets Epiphany Therapy uses in the Asgard arc on two enemies. | |
