So you've got a character with awesome Psychic Powers, up to and including mind reading and control. Problem is, he isn't into Bad Powers, Bad People, but prior stories show how The Dark Side can oh so very easily corrupt individuals who use these gifts irresponsibly. What's more, the powers will make them akin to a Deus ex machina if they go Mind Raping, memory wiping, or even "just" making pacifists out of their enemies. Allies will be paranoid and afraid of them; suspecting that their own thoughts are heard or not their own, or are being manipulated by mundane means (telepaths are rarely dumb; their ESP seems to come with lots of IQ). And if they don't use their powers in that manner, expect cries of Reed Richards Is Useless and Misapplied Phlebotinum. So how do you justify people like Professor X or Martian Manhunter being good guys, without having them solve the plot and mind-wipe the Rogues Gallery, all while avoiding sappy Fantastic Aesops intended to hold back the phlebotinum? Why, you make them the most damn ethical, trustworthy and scrupulous characters you can find, that's what! Sure, there will always be that lingering "are they really practicing what they preach?" doubt, but giving them an overall ethical attitude and behavior keeps up Willing Suspension of Disbelief. They can delve a little into the grey area in telepathy, but wading too deep into murky waters (while excellent drama) has the downside of heralding a full fall from grace or being Put on a Bus while they sort out their ethics. Usually they can get away with "white lies" and forgotten memories, a little mind control if the alternative is worse, but never Mind Rape or destroying a personality. A common justification is that they can't turn their abilities off: the thoughts and emotions of their fellows are as much of a constant to them as water is to a fish. If they are mistrusted and feared, they can't escape from it; the best they can do is demonstrate that they can be trusted not to misuse their gift. Compare and contrast A Mind Is a Terrible Thing to Read, a trope that serves as a Cynicism Catalyst for many telepaths. This also gets to be an Elephant in the Living Room when mindwipes are used to protect the Masquerade, especially when it seems like it's more for convenience and not necessity. |

Heralds of Valdemar: This is most of the drama in Arrow's Flight, but worse. Heralds in general would never dream of casually reading the thoughts and emotions of others, mainly because they've all been Chosen for their discretion and selflessness, and Talia is no exception — unfortunately, it takes a long time for anyone to realize that although her Mindspeech is weak, she's a very powerful Empath, and Empathy appearing on its own rather than as a secondary power to Healing is very rare. As a result, her training in controlling her power is woefully inadequate, and Talia really can't tell when she's influencing someone or when she's not. Once she comes to full control of her Empathy, Talia develops her own sense of moral conduct with it, which is largely limited to those she considers to be good people. She openly uses Mind Rape against those few individuals she considers worthy of it, something that the other Heralds quiz her about, but accept her position on. It's also discussed in By the Sword between Kerowyn and Eldan, who find they must reconcile their different attitudes toward their telepathy; Eldan comes from a culture in which such abilities are commonplace and governed by Heraldic ethics, while Kero has lived all her life in a culture in which being able to read others' thoughts is almost unheard of, compelling her to keep her Mindspeech a secret and refrain from using it any more than she can possibly help so as not to lose the trust of those around her. The Collegium Chronicles and The Herald Spy follow Mags, the most powerful Mindspeaker of his generation, from his Choosing through his early Heraldic career. As Mags' powers grow, he is forced to confront situations in which the use of his telepathy may or may not be justified, from simple scanning of surface thoughts to actual mind probes of criminals. In Closer to Home his Companion Dallen takes on the responsibility of determining when Mags would be justified in taking over another's body, as Mags might worry too much about Jumping Off the Slippery Slope to take action when it really is needed — such as to prevent mass murder. Companions, as angels, seem to have an Omniscient Morality License in that they read minds constantly and sometimes interfere — Eldan's Companion refuses to let Kero say he's a "spirit" by making her stutter as she approaches the word — without it being regarded as suspect. Only Elspeth ever seems to mind having them "snooping" in her head, and not for long. This license may also extend to any nonconsensual but helpful use of psychic powers — early in Arrow's Flight, Talia notices that Skif is suffering PTSD after a near-death experience and undoes his trauma without asking. This isn't questioned or regarded as anything but a loving and helpful gesture. In the Owl books, a dyheli stag reworks a traumatized teenager's mind so the kid is calm, curious, and happy to engage with his Hawkbrother rescuers. Another human protests that Tyrsell didn't ask first, and Tyrsell calmly says that Darian would have agreed if he had taken the time to explain, and anyway it's for the good of the child and the community so it's fine. |

Quarters: Bards take vows not to misuse their powers. Those who don't abide by this are major villains. Normally too, becoming a trained bard means they can't use their powers for evil, since it changes them. Only those with incomplete or self-taught training become evil. | |

X-Men: In the 1960s, Professor X did things like wipe the existence of teenaged Hank McCoy from the memory of everyone who ever knew him, including his parents. Later it was retconned he is too ethical to do such things, but altering memories to preserve the X-Men's Secret Identities was practically a Once Per Issue thing during the original run. A contrast is seen between Xavier and a psychic with no concept of Mind Over Manners in the X-Men/ClanDestine crossover: Kay (eldest daughter of the Destines) tries to rudely invade Xavier's mind to find out what the X-Men's deal is, even going so far as to say she's doing it out loud. Xavier (who is several centuries her junior) responds with the psychic equivalent of a rolled-up newspaper to the face, an admonishment of her lack of ethics (and crudity of the attempt), and a subtle warning that he could and would do far worse if she tried that again. Teen Jean Grey in All-New X-Men: her telepathy shows up unexpectedly due to the stress of seeing the future and knowing her future self dies (more than once). Kitty has to repeatedly remind her it's considered extremely impolite to read minds without permission. Jean apologizes, but her curiosity gets the better of her quite a bit — the fact that she's an incredibly powerful telepath with no control also means that she picks things up without meaning to: at one point, mid freak-out after finding out about Wanda's "No More Mutants" moment and being admonished by Kitty for going looking, she replies that she didn't — Wanda's mind was screaming it out, as if it was all she thinks of. Sometimes it is Played for Laughs, sometimes it leads to awkward moments, but most times she can't believe what people have done. She gets better by the time she meets Miles Morales, and becomes steadily more controlled and ethical as time goes on. |

Kotoura-san: In her backstory, Haruka Kotoura is a born Telepath that can't tell the difference between thoughts and speech because her telepathy is always on. Ergo, she had no sense of Tatemae (and still doesn't sometimes). That, along with being a curious Cheerful Child, she unknowingly hurt everybody around her, which made her socially shunned and even broke up her family. Later on, she invokes this to convincingly pose as a jerk to keep people away from her as a means to defend herself emotionally. | |

In Heroes, telepathic "scanner cop" Matt Parkman initially uses his mind-reading powers to fight crime, but after he evolves the ability to completely control the minds of others, he becomes much more reluctant to use his powers at all, to the point that by Volume 5, he's categorized his ability as a drug and has even checked himself into an AA group. | |

Martian Manhunter in Justice League. Intriguingly, his exposure to human thoughts and attitudes later in the first series causes J'onn's rather pleasant, calm demeanor to break down somewhat. Apparently, Martians were just not the type to keep secrets, and the deceitfulness of humanity is something of a shock for him, which leads to him strongly disliking humans later on. | |

Played with in Harry Potter; at least two teachers, Dumbledore and Snape, are known to be capable of Legilimency. There's no proof that either ever used it beyond the casual ability to intuit if they were being lied to, although Harry often worries that Snape can read minds. The only times the more invasive version is used is on a willing subject for the purposes of teaching defense against it, possibly on Kreacher by Dumbledore in Order of the Phoenix, and on Harry after he uses an unknown spell to defend himself against Malfoy and ends up nearly killing him in The Half-Blood Prince. | |

Discussed in Sisterland when Kate is dismayed to learn that her twin sister Violet has revealed that she has telepathy (something both of them have), as Violet predicts an earthquake is going to hit St. Louis. Kate feels annoyed that Violet is turning the situation into a media circus when she has no guarantee her vision is definitely going to happen, while Violet counters that if Kate had received the vision, she would have sat on the information and told no one and possibly endangered innocent people's lives to maintain her image as the perfect wife and mother. | |

The Dresden Files: Any mind magic on others is Mind Rape, as the human psyche doesn't react well to being externally changed. Even neutralizing a heroin addiction is Black Magic. Then again, the White Council regards mind magic as a very, very grey area and just prohibits it altogether, just to be on the safe side. It also seems to be legal to do diagnostic or corrective mental magic, providing you have the consent of the subject — for example, in one of the books, a passing reference is made to systematic attempts to pinpoint and reverse a villain's subtle mind control in members of an organization. Also, Harry himself has engaged in some mental sparring with his apprentice, so as to practice their mental defenses. Oh, and the laws of magic only apply to humans — Mind Rape on vampires or demons or whatever is totally fine. The Senior Council do relax their restrictions on mind magic once they're convinced that it's a danger members are likely to face, but since very few general wizards on the Council know more than the bare minimum about mind magic to properly protect themselves, it's kinda half-assed. Harry does get a few older wizards to hand out a few of the tricks they're figured out over the years. Demons and faeries and other such are protected by the sheer alienness of their minds. Try to read or manipulate the mind of a faerie and if you're very lucky you'll end up in the corner laughing at how everything is made of rainbows. (If you're unlucky, it will be something much nastier than rainbows.) |

Golden Sun: Averted by Ivan, who has no sense of boundaries when it comes to his Mind Reading and in fact is eager to corner some guys in their room at the inn because he thinks they might be behind the recent thefts. However, Garet's objections to having his mind read by Ivan hint that Adepts normally do care about manners, and that Ivan is a special case since he had Muggle Foster Parents and no way of learning Psynergy etiquette. This never comes up in the gameplay; if an NPC objects to having their mind read, they'll just tell you so. Some 30 years later, however, it's said he no longer likes having that power, possibly to explain why his daughter doesn't have it. Much later in the game, you can use a power that works much the same. |

Green Lantern: Subverted with Hal Jordan, as he frequently uses his power ring to not only read minds but to wipe memories, particularly anytime someone learns his or someone else's secret identity. It's so prevalent that he even lampshades it in an issue when a villain reveals his and Barry Allen's secret IDs to their respective SOs of the time, noting how even he's getting tired of that corny routine from having done it so often. He at least once uses his power ring to force someone to walk into a police station and confess to framing him for a crime because it's easier for him than trying to prove his innocence in more legal ways. | |

Men in Black: In Men in Black, J is not happy with K being so trigger-happy with the Neuralizer and even asks at one point if K ever used it on him. K denies it, though we saw him use it on J at the beginning of the film. In Men in Black II, J gets a reputation for neuralizing people recklessly, mostly his partners. He's had good reasons each time, though. Although from the looks of things in the first movie (specifically when they're in the morgue the first time), he learned it from K. Averted in Men in Black 3, where the neuralizer is used frequently on large portions of the public and not treated as ethically problematic. |

The Betazoids in the Star Trek Novel 'Verse are usually shown as being like this.

In Calculated Risks, she asks all the people they bring back to Earth with them if they want to remember the last two days in Another Dimension or not, and only gives Laser-Guided Amnesia to those who give her permission.

Tower and the Hive: A prerequisite of Talented parenting is to immediately stomp out negative tendencies in their offspring, to avoid later turns to the darkside and misuse of powers. For the most part, this works, and evil Talents are so rare as to almost never be mentioned. Rogue Talents do start popping up in later books. Apparently, the standard procedure is for a more powerful telepath to "mind-lock" their powers... which can have adverse side effects. The one time we see a hostile psychic being vastly more powerful than the main characters, they join their minds and crush its consciousness, killing it. | |

X-Men Film Series: Traditionally, Professor Xavier is an absolute example of this, but not exclusively — X-Men: The Last Stand reveals that he messed with Jean's memories when she was a child to deal with the personality known as the Phoenix, which Logan calls him out on, and which eventually backfires spectacularly. X-Men: First Class presented a much younger, less disciplined Charles Xavier who had no problem using his powers on anyone whenever it was convenient for him. That being said, he doesn't go into personally private memories, promised Raven that he wouldn't read her mind, and asked for Erik's permission before searching for the brightest corner of his friend's memories — though he does erase Moira's memories, either to protect her following the events of Cuba or to demonstrate his power to the CIA and warn them to back off (or both). X-Men: Days of Future Past has him grow out of this, learning to let go and let people make their own choices, Raven especially. Additionally, in X-Men: Apocalypse, he repudiates Apocalypse's plans to use his telepathy to completely violate every principle of this and restores Moira's memories with an apology. |

Jack in The Vampire Files has to develop his own code of ethics for his mind-control powers after accidentally destroying someone's mind. He discusses with Escott how frightening it is to know he could make people do almost anything he wants, and either forget about it or be happy about it. In the sister series/prequel Jonathan Barrett, Gentleman Vampire Jonathan faces similar ethical questions, which he discusses with his father. Both protagonists realize that they must make use of their powers to some degree simply to live their lives in peace, but both try to minimize their use. | |

Used in FreakAngels. Part of the titular mutants' code of honor is not to use their mind-control powers on others, and a great deal of drama comes from asking what the difference is between brainwashing others of traumatizing experiences (as Sirkka does) and brainwashing them into doing your bidding (as Mark and Luke do). | |

In an issue of Ultimate Spider-Man, after Aunt May finds out that Peter is Spidey's secret identity, Kitty begs Jean to use her powers to erase the discovery from Aunt May's mind. All of the other X-Men tell Kitty that this is not a good idea. Subverted in a different issue when Xavier performs some sort of telepathic sedation on a super-powered foreign exchange student. Spider-Man asks if doing that was ethical, and Xavier admits that it probably wasn't. (The student did nearly kill Spidey, Kitty, Jean, Storm, and himself when he woke up in the X-Jet and blew a hole in it — sedating him was probably the safest course of action.) | |

Code Geass's protagonist Lelouch falls under this for most of the series; he has no problem forcing his enemies to commit suicide or sacrificing potential allies for a strategic advantage, but he holds free will in high regard and goes to great lengths to amass his army of followers without using his Hypnotic Eyes to influence them, which would have made the job far easier. When he starts using his powers to enslave people indefinitely, it's a sign of just how far he's fallen into despair — at the moment it was the only way he could continue fighting, and entirely necessary in order for him to prevent The End of the World as We Know It. When that is averted, he continues to do so out of both a combination of still needing a military to fight against Schneizel's Nuke 'em all plan, and as part of his Genghis Gambit to make himself the evilest tyrant in history before having himself killed as atonement. Extra materials revealed that after he died, Jeremiah used his Geass Canceler to return every brainwashed solder to normal, so even in the end Lelouch meant for everything to be temporary. | |

Touhou Project: This is a problem for the entire satori race, as they are compelled to voice the thoughts they read without stopping to consider how personal they may be. Koishi permanently closed her own third eye, thus eliminating her own mind-reading power, in order to avoid that sort of hate her blabbermouth sister Satori earned. It succeeded far too well, closing off her heart/mind so she no longer has thoughts or feelings, and it's impossible for other people to care about or even remember her). | |

In The Death of Lightning Lad, Saturn Girl needs to be chosen leader in order to bench the whole Legion of Super-Heroes (long story), so she telepathically "nudges" all Legionnaires into voting for her. In that same story, Lori Lemaris reads Supergirl's mind without asking permission only because she is wondering where the Girl of Steel is going. | |

Traditionally, Professor Xavier is an absolute example of this, but not exclusively — X-Men: The Last Stand reveals that he messed with Jean's memories when she was a child to deal with the personality known as the Phoenix, which Logan calls him out on, and which eventually backfires spectacularly. X-Men: First Class presented a much younger, less disciplined Charles Xavier who had no problem using his powers on anyone whenever it was convenient for him. That being said, he doesn't go into personally private memories, promised Raven that he wouldn't read her mind, and asked for Erik's permission before searching for the brightest corner of his friend's memories — though he does erase Moira's memories, either to protect her following the events of Cuba or to demonstrate his power to the CIA and warn them to back off (or both). | |

Discussed repeatedly and at length in the Deryni books, mostly by author favorites Camber and Morgan. All Deryni have some psychic ability, though it's generally low-powered and limited to close range. The good guys prefer to get permission before hacking into someone's mind, but they often drop the ethics when they're in a hurry. | |

Young Justice (2010) explores this in different ways. M'Gann casually uses telepathy early on because she does not realize her humans friends would find it disturbing since it's completely normal on Mars. She manages to learn when it is or is not appropriate to use on her allies, but in "Image" uses it to knock them out in a desperate moment to hide her Dark Secret, and then Mind Rapes a psychic villain into a coma. By season two she has thrown the ethics out the window, willing to do the same to other villains when it helps a mission, and even alter her friends memories to her own advantage. This callousness eventually leads her to damage one of her friends' minds very badly, after which she seems determined to play this trope straight. | |

Child of the Storm: Professor Xavier, Betsy Braddock, Jean Grey, and, once his powers come through, Harry, are all scrupulous about this. In Harry's case, it's in large part because he's terrified of going off the deep end, or — being enormously powerful and even after extensive tutoring, aware of how ignorant he is of the full scope of his powers — unconsciously/accidentally influencing those around him (particularly Carol, after their Psychic Link is established). Other psychics, such as Voldemort, Sinister, and Maddie Pryor before her Heel–Face Turn, all don't subscribe to this mentality (in Maddie's case, she was raised to have Blue-and-Orange Morality by Sinister and genuinely didn't know), and demonstrate it, with the side-effects being described in lovingly horrific detail. For instance, Mind Rape is compared to actual rape (and psychic manners in general to physical consent), and the "Freaky Friday" Flip is, unusually, played for Nightmare Fuel. A more morally grey example is provided by the Askani, who taught Xavier a lot of the fine detail of his powers, and while they're not villainous, are described as not being overly ethical when pursuing their own interests. Xavier himself, as mentioned, is usually the gold standard for this trope, but when getting answers from Sinister he coldly threatens to "peel his [Sinister's] mind like an orange". Sinister, wisely, starts talking. |

Teen Jean Grey in All-New X-Men: her telepathy shows up unexpectedly due to the stress of seeing the future and knowing her future self dies (more than once). Kitty has to repeatedly remind her it's considered extremely impolite to read minds without permission. Jean apologizes, but her curiosity gets the better of her quite a bit — the fact that she's an incredibly powerful telepath with no control also means that she picks things up without meaning to: at one point, mid freak-out after finding out about Wanda's "No More Mutants" moment and being admonished by Kitty for going looking, she replies that she didn't — Wanda's mind was screaming it out, as if it was all she thinks of. Sometimes it is Played for Laughs, sometimes it leads to awkward moments, but most times she can't believe what people have done. She gets better by the time she meets Miles Morales, and becomes steadily more controlled and ethical as time goes on. | |

Firebird Trilogy: The Sentinels have very strict, self-policed rules on how they are and are not allowed to use their telepathic powers. Penalties for violating the fundamental tenets of the Code range from having their powers blocked to execution. This Code keeps them "nice" and prevents the significantly more numerous non-telepathic people (among whom they live) from wiping them out due to mistrust. The Shuhr, a branch of the Sentinel people that do not share the Sentinel's Christian faith, and hence also do not share their codes of conduct, show us exactly why the Sentinels need to police themselves. A dozen forms of Mind Rape, from implantation of compulsions to erasing and/or rewriting memories to looking through an unwitting victim's eyes are routine among them, and they keep their powers from fading with age by pureeing the brains of their cloned embryos and synthesizing a telepathy booster from the result. |

Subverted like hell in The Twilight Saga, where Edward Cullen reads the minds of everyone except for Bella, and that's because he literally can't read hers. In Midnight Sun (2020), he does say that he blocks people, but that's just because he finds them annoying (barring his family). He isn't bothered by mindreading anyone he wants and is pissed when he discovers that he can't know every little thing Bella is thinking. | |

In Psi-Force, this is generally averted by Wayne Tucker, who in addition to the combat uses of his psychic powers, routinely erased the memories of both bad guys and bystanders, psychically coerced people into doing things like giving him rides wherever he needed to go, and occasionally invaded his teammates' minds without permission. (Some of these instances are understandable given that he was one of a group of runaway teenagers trying to evade a shadowy organization that apparently wanted them dead; some of them, not so much.) | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi: Subverted when Negi was going to wipe Asuna's mind after she finds out he's a mage (in the first episode no less!), though he had to do it because it's actually better than the other option, or at least more ethical. The mages themselves partially admit this by outlawing things like love potions. Played completely straight with Nodoka, whose mind-reading abilities make her one of the most feared of the True Companions, leading at least Haruna to wonder if she uses it for more "sordid" practices. The other characters theorize that she was given one of the more unsettling powers because of her shy attitude and sheer kindness. Mage Society in general was a little too gung-ho in mind-wiping any muggles who were inconvenient. After a war over the subject and no clear answer, the plot thread was put on the back burner for the Magic World arc. |

The Culture: Culture Minds combine unfathomable processing power with machines that can manipulate matter on the subatomic level, essentially giving them total mind-reading and brainwashing powers. However, the Culture also respects individual privacy so much that actually using this power is the closest thing there is to a crime in the Culture and will result in the Mind being ostracized even if it was done for the greater good. By way of example, the one Mind we come across that has done so is the GCU Grey Area, which is now called Meatfucker by its peers. | |
