Kidnapped for Experimentation	comment	Mad Scientists usually require test subjects for their unusual experiments. Or maybe they want to learn about a specific species or individual. Or maybe a person has seen too much and the scientist doesn't want them telling anyone. Whatever the reason, the scientist knows that they can't get their test subject through any ethical means, so they resort to kidnapping them. Their methods (Kidnapped While Sleeping, Bag of Kidnapping, Creepy Stalker Van) rely heavily on the scientist, as do their reasons. Maybe the kidnapper is your garden-variety Mad Scientist who's doing weird science For the Evulz. Maybe they believe that their experiments are for the subject's own good and that they'll thank them for it someday. Maybe the scientist could have chosen any test subject but specifically chose to kidnap someone the hero loves just to get back at them. If the victim isn't saved in time, expect this trope to be a part of the hero's motivation, and part of their Dark and Troubled Past. Not to mention that the victim themselves may be a source of Body Horror. If the kidnapper doesn't go for the loved one of the hero or a big-name celebrity, then they'll most likely target someone that no one is likely to miss. If the hero or one of the main characters is something that a Mad Scientist would take an interest in (alien, robot, alien robot, dragon, fae, superhuman, mutant, intelligent potato, etc), then they may fear this trope happening (especially if the Mad Scientist in question has the government on their side). Compare with They Would Cut You Up, Strapped to an Operating Table, and Playing with Syringes, as all three of which are likely what the scientist plans to do with their victim. Contrast with (and is an inversion of) the Kidnapped Scientist trope, where a scientist is kidnapped by the Big Bad (or occasionally the heroes) to build/do something for him. Also contrasts with Killing for a Tissue Sample, where the scientist instead kills their victim to obtain something that they could've easily lived without, and Professor Guinea Pig, where the scientist opts to conduct an experiment on themselves. A Sub-Trope of Kidnapped by the Call, especially if being kidnapped by the scientist is what starts the story. If the kidnappers are from space, see Alien Abduction. If the scientist thinks what they're doing is for the greater good, or are actually trying to help the person they kidnapped but couldn't get to them through any legal means, then see The Kindnapper and/or Kidnapped by an Ally note Although the latter one really depends on the situation . May lead to We Can Rebuild Him if the scientists decide to heal a dying/injured person while also studying/experimenting on them. If a villain kidnapped someone to turn them into a Mook, then this trope becomes Reforged into a Minion. May overlap with Superhuman Trafficking, when the experimental subject is specifically chosen because they possess superhuman traits (e.g., extraterrestrials, Mutants, vampires, The Fair Folk, etc.). See also For Science!, Mad Scientist (the one most likely to pull this trope), Evilutionary Biologist (the other person most likely to pull this), Emperor Scientist (who might use this trope on the inhabitants of their kingdom), Utopia Justifies the Means, and Science Is Bad.

Kidnapped for Experimentation / int_1196196e	comment	Scooby-Doo and the Alien Invaders: The gang comes upon a town that's been reporting alien sightings, with one resident claiming that he's been kidnapped for this purpose. The same thing later happens to Shaggy and Scooby. Subverted; the abductors were actually a bunch of people who'd found gold under the town, and were using the alien abductions (which they made their victims believe were real) to scare away anyone who got too close). The real aliens, Crystal and Amber, are actually benevolent and leave Earth peacefully at the end of the film.

A few of the female kidnappees are impregnated with hybridized offspring. The rest are turned into Monstrous Humanoid zombies by the experiments done to them with Ghidorah's unrefined DNA samples. This trope also occurred in Ghidorah's backstory from Abraxas: Empty Fullness. Before they were the Destroyer of Worlds; Ichi, Ni and San were kidnapped from their original home in an alien world's wilderness by Abusive Precursors who performed inhumane experiments which gave Ghidorah the world-ending powers that it now possesses, in an effort to make a Bioweapon Beast of mass destruction for themselves.

Kidnapped for Experimentation / int_16b7e914	comment	A strange inversion happened in Disney Channel's Lab Rats: The father of the Rats, Douglas Davenport, originally created them to be Super Soldiers who could be hired out or used for criminal activity. His brother, Donald Davenport, saw that the Rats, despite their incredible powers, were still children and couldn't let his brother go through with his plans (which would likely end in the kids being subjected to further testing and possible termination if Douglas didn't like what he saw). So he took the kids from his brother and raised them as his own in secret, taking the family business from Douglas at the same time (while Douglas faked his death and went underground). The Rats learn about this in the season one finale. In a way, they were kidnapped to escape experimentation.

When they arrived, they were immediately taken away by Spencer's employees and used as test subjects for the Progenitor Virus. Jessica was disposed of by Umbrella for displaying a poor reaction to the Type A virus while Lisa displayed a much more favorable reaction. Over the next twenty years, Lisa Trevor would be used as a test subject by Umbrella. Her usefulness to the company would end when they isolated and extracted the G-virus from her.

Kidnapped for Experimentation / int_24a18ffe	comment	In PartnerShip, Alpha's focus in university was researching ways to treat Ganglicide exposure - the trouble is, she needed a steady influx of subjects that had been exposed in the first place to work on, and found keeping rabbits smelly and annoying, and if people thought she had pets they would want to talk about them! So she started kidnapping Disposable Vagrants, claiming they weren't doing society any good as they were. This was discovered and should have led to serious consequences, but because of her connections it was hushed up, she was denied her license, and then Alpha was sent to work in a clinic in a distant system. She landed on her feet and didn't kidnap people while working there... because she was in charge of the charity ward and had all the subjects she wanted right there.

Kidnapped for Experimentation / int_a34863aa	comment	Many series in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise usually involve at least one scientist/Man in Black who wants to know how the Turtles mutated and/or steal their DNA for experimentation, and is willing to use this trope to do it. Done most prominently in the most recent movie. Because so many characters in the franchise are mutated humans, this trope pops up when normal humans are kidnapped by the Foot Clan or the Kraang for mutation experiments. Because April is so often used as a Damsel in Distress (although that's been used a lot less in recent adaptations), expect her to be kidnapped by the Kraang, Foot or Dragons at least once (especially if she's an Intrepid Reporter).

Weapon X are also the people who created other mutant characters in the Marvel universe, with the most well-known (other than Wolverine) being Deadpool.

Seeing as how he's an authority figure, they picked Picard in order to study authority. He's less than pleased about this. In "The Mind's Eye", Geordi is kidnapped by Romulans for a brainwashing experiment (having picked him because his VISOR hides all evidence of their brainwashing technique). They test their brainwashing abilities by having Geordi act as an assassin to start a conspiracy between Federation and the Klingons. It almost worked, but thankfully Data saved the day (although the ending implies Geordi was heavily traumatized by the incident). In "Schisms", a race of aliens from another dimension are stealing crewmen off the Enterprise via temporary wormholes and running experiments/tests on them. While most of these tests are done so cleanly that the crewmen don't even notice that something is wrong, one crewman's blood is turned into a polymer as a result of their experiments. The Enterprise crew only barely escapes them, and said aliens are never seen or discussed again.
