Sensory Overload	comment	One strategy for disabling someone without permanently incapacitating them is to debilitate them by overloading their senses. In some cases, an intensely bright light, a pulsating light or loud noise are just as effective as a Tap on the Head, and can allow easy capture. If that fails, it's another form of Look Behind You, without having to actually talk to the opponent. This is a common tactic against those with Super-Senses because it turns a strength into a weakness. Technology or magic may grant Badass Normals super-human senses that can be exploited this way. Often exploited against characters wearing night-vision goggles by turning on a light. Used against a machine, this often results in Readings Are Off the Scale. In a Video Game, this is likely to be represented as an Interface Screw of some sort. A character with Disability Immunity might be immune to this kind of attack. Hollywood tends to portray this with echoey sound effects, blurred images, or a Fish-Eye Lens. See also Poke in the Third Eye, First Time Feeling, and Sensory Abuse. Compare Sense Loss Sadness; My Skull Runneth Over, which is a mental overload; and Too Much for Man to Handle, which is a power overload. Not to be confused with the video game of the same name.

Sensory Overload / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Wolverine has super-sensitive hearing, so many villains like to use sonic attacks against him. Fabian Cortez uses this on Psylocke, amplifying her telepathic powers while she's on Genosha, an island full of mutant-haters. It backfires in the end, but the whole experience is very traumatic for her. A side-issue of Avengers vs. X-Men sees Psylocke fighting Daredevil; she is briefly overwhelmed when she tries to read his mind, unable to cope with the sheer scale of what Daredevil experiences on a daily basis. Exaggerated by Jean Grey in The Dark Phoenix Saga. To punish Mastermind for the hubris of trying to control her, she briefly granted him omniscience — the experience was so overwhelming that he was rendered comatose. Jean herself suffered from this when she was younger. It's brought up again in All-New X-Men when Kitty has to comfort Jean while she's picking up everybody's thoughts. Dazzler has an attack of multicolored, bright, and strobing lights that disorients opponents — even those without specialized eyesight. Rogue also tends to run into this problem — with her Power Parasite mutation, she can risk overloading herself with someone else's powers or memories. For example, in an early comic, Rogue (pre-Heelâ€“Face Turn) absorbed Storm's Weather Manipulation and nearly destroys the Pentagon since she's overwhelmed by the power and lacks Storm's experience. However, this is Depending on the Writer as in some later comics Rogue absorbs Cyclops's Eye Beams and uses them more easily than Scott himself — in fact, she even can turn the blasts off, something Scott cannot do note Although it should be noted that it's generally agreed that Scott's lack of control is based on some physical or psychological injury rather than his powers not having a 'natural' off-switch . Mister Sensitive from X-Statix can be defeated by stripping away his special suit. Even a fine mist feels like thousands of needles. Once, a villain tortured him by lightly scratching a pen knife across his bare skin.

This drug, called the "Superhuman Drug" by Mayuri, heightens a person's senses to superhuman levels, slowing down their sense of time down to a crawl. Since this is an undiluted version of the drug, its effects are even greater, as by this point, Szayelaporro's senses have been heightened to the point that through his perspective, the mere seconds it takes for Mayuri to very slowly stab his hand and chest feel like hundreds of years. By the time the tip of Mayuri's sword finally pierces Szayelaporro's heart, he is begging him to hurry up and kill him.

Her ability to drastically increase one sense at the cost of diminishing the others kicks in unexpectedly, causing her to avoid sex, keep things obsessively clean, and insist on preparing food herself so she'll have control over everything that's gone into it. The Can't Have Sex, Ever element caused her significant angst, but she finally did get over it with a sympathetic boyfriend — the implication was that it was less a case of physical inability to bear the sensations than a fear of letting herself become so utterly helpless with someone that she didn't trust absolutely. A Gadgeteer Genius Alpha weaponized this trope by MacGyvering a strobing and sonic overload device from office electronics to escape from custody. Fortunately, Rachel reacted quickly enough to funnel her sight and hearing into taste, leaving her well enough to immediately start tracking her.

He throws up, staggers to a friend's house, asks for a quiet dark room, and whimpers in there for about an hour. Then he gets back to work. Molly casts a spell that creates bright lights, multi-colored and flashing. Harry calls it the One-Woman Rave.

Her school has set up a quiet room as an accommodation, but it's not as helpful as they think — it's too close to both the cafeteria and the gym, so it smells funny, and loud, thudding basketballs can easily be heard.

Some criticise it for being torture for Taxxons but harmless to anyone else, others thing it's a brilliant commentary on how the Yeerks didn't care about their hosts' well-being, and an autistic human says she relates to the overstimulation.

After being placed back into a human body, he is immediately overwhelmed by the sensations that the physical world has to offer, which are simultaneously wonderful and painful to him. Raz has to enter his Mental World, the PSI King's Sensorium, to help him get his senses back under control (as well as to help him recover his memories). When Raz first meets Compton Boole, it immediately becomes clear that Compton also suffers from this due to low self-esteem and Power Incontinence. To avoid any outside stimuli, Compton has been living in a Psychoisolation chamber, and immediately gets overwhelmed when Raz brings him three bees to communicate with (Compton had only requested "a couple"). This is also reflected in Compton's mental world, which takes the form of a cooking game show full of garish colors, time limits, loud music, and puppet judges who constantly bombard Compton with Backhanded Compliments (and that's when Compton makes a good dish). Thankfully, with Raz's help, Compton manages to get his confidence back up and regain control of his powers.

Her psychic acuity is such, that she could still tell something was off, while under the effects of Cerise's amnesia spell. However, this ability also acts as a double-edged sword, such as when she was psychically assaulted by an indirect attack from Hecate, which hadn't been intended for her. Regardless, Faith not only sensed it, it caused her to have seizures and briefly pass out. When she regained consciousness, she'd been left physically weakened and temporarily without her powers. While she didn't know who'd been responsible for the attack, she could sense it'd been the work of something ancient, dark, and powerful.

Their Nigh-Invulnerability and their super-hearing apparently cancel each other out. When fighting Silver Banshee Supes describes her scream as "ten atomic bombs going off in your skull", Black Canary and Batman have been able to make Superman bleed from the ears/nose with sonic screams and sonic weapons. In The Plague of the Antibiotic Man, when Supergirl fights Amalak's energy construct, it explodes in a flash of light more intense than a super-nova, blinding her temporarily. In The Jungle Line, Clark Kent loses his powers due to Bloodmorel illness; shortly after, his super-hearing returns suddenly and deafeningly while he is crossing the street and passing by several sources of strident noise: a boombox, a drilling machine, a kid shouting... When Krypto first appears in The Superman Adventures, he goes berserk because he can't handle his Super Senses. In the Supergirl (2005) storyline Girl Power, Cyborg uses an ultrasonic device to slow Superboy down. In Superman: Up, Up and Away!, after one year without his Super-Senses, Superman is briefly overwhelmed by sensory input from his surroundings and the memories from his youth. In Superman: Brainiac, the Man of Steel eventually wins by knocking the Coluan invader into a swamp, where he's disabled by the overwhelming sensations of all kinds of microorganisms crawling over his skin. In The Hunt for Reactron, a member of Perseus Hazard's K-Squad uses a "Screamer" — a shoulder cannon weapon which fires ultrasonic waves — to shoot Supergirl and Flamebird down. In Death & the Family, when Silver Banshee's sonic scream strikes Supergirl, Kara becomes totally deaf for several instants. Last Daughter of Krypton: Seconds after arriving on Earth, Kara's super hearing starts working. All of sudden, Kara is hearing the noises of a whole planet, and she does not know how to stop it or control it. She shuts her eyes, clutches her head with both hands and falls on her knees while she screams and asks it to stop. In Red Daughter of Krypton, Lobo knocks Supergirl out via a psychic stunner. Unfortunately for him, she doesn't stay down for long, and she's real pissed when she regains consciousness. In Escape from the Phantom Zone, Ben is being cornered by the Big Bad's minions. Batgirl quickly tosses a stun beacon at him and tells him to cover his eyes. The ensuing, blinding flash is so overpowering that all mooks fall to their knees, rubbing their aching eyes and moaning in pain.

Zod is initially overwhelmed by the onslaught of noise and being able to see his bones through his skin — however, he manages to adapt fairly quickly thanks to his military training and sheer force of will.

In one scene, she drops most of her auditory filters to eavesdrop. When she's forced to flee the building with no time to put them back up, she quickly becomes overwhelmed and disoriented. When she almost passes out from overload, her emergency auditory filters go up, but by then her nerves are too shot to activate other sensory or linguistics programming. She runs through the city in a daze and blacks out as soon as she reaches safety.

The Chaos spell overloads the victim's senses with a cloud of sensations, including blinding sights, loud sounds, fierce odors and tickling. This causes major distraction and severe penalties to all of the victim's actions. This could easily happen to someone who uses a defective simsense chip (which simulates a pre-recorded sensory experience), or one with its safety constraints modded off, flooding the user with dangerous levels of sensory input. This happens when one is "brainfried" from a matrix attack.

Sensory Overload / int_e293455a	comment	In the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Earshot", Buffy temporarily develops mind-reading abilities as her "aspect of the demon". This power, which she cannot control or turn off, slowly increases in intensity, expanding her "hearing range" far beyond those standing right next to her. Eventually she becomes overwhelmed by hearing everyone's thoughts all at once, nonstop, and passes out.

Sensory Overload / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: In Timothy Zahn's novels, Jedi can choose to make any or every sense keener the better to hear near-inaudible noises, see in the dark, identify chemicals by scent, etc. Virtually every time they do so, though, they're half-deafened by someone murmuring quietly to them, a dim light, etc. and have to rapidly ramp their senses back down to normal. In Dark Lordâ€”The Rise of Darth Vader, a group of rogue clones ignores Order 66 and uses EMP grenades to disable their fellow clones who were attempting to ambush the Jedi. As the grenades short out their helmets, that group of clones is somewhat unable to successfully conduct their ambush. This isn't really shown anywhere else as a solution to clones or stormtroopers, however.

While everyone else seems to enjoy the exercises, main character Norma (who has autism) is shown to quickly get overwhelmed due to her hypersensitivity to outside stimuli, much to her embarrassment. This makes Norma a primary target for Harmony, who is actually a demon named Harm-Many who is feeding off the staff's fears. In the end, however, Harm-Many is defeated because it turns out that Norma has so much anxiety inside her that Harm-Many explodes trying to consume it.

Since he's never smelled anything before, the stench causes a complete sensory overload, knocking him out and inflicting some serious mental trauma in the process.

Sensory Overload / int_f74b5f80	comment	In Babylon 5, an unintentional version of this happens to latent telepaths when their powers "blossom", usually around puberty. Their formerly dormant powers become very active, and since they have no practice filtering the cacophony, they hear every thought of every around them. If this happens in a crowded area, such as at a marketplace, their clairaudience is "deafening" like a rocket engine. Talia also once describes two telepaths making love, which creates a feedback loop of pleasure that can quickly cross into pain if they aren't careful.

This is a rather big problem for Ash when facing Erika's. The only time where it doesn't produce such a smell is when it doesn't feel threatened. Team Rocket uses a foul-smelling gas (made from Gloom) to deaden the sense of smell of Officer Jenny's Growlithe squad so they would not recognize Officer Jenny's scent and thus obey her commands. That's just step one of their plan, which is to trick the Growlithe squad into obeying Team Rocket by then causing Jenny's voice to go high-pitched with helium while they disguise themselves with Jenny's voice and looks.

Sensory Overload / int_fb26bc2e	comment	This happens occasionally in The Sentinel, like when Jim is driven to distraction by the pain of a minor wound on his hand because of his super-touch sense. In a two-part episode, an evil Sentinel finds an ancient South American temple used by tribal Sentinels to boost their powers by taking a bath (It Makes Sense in Context). Unfortunately, she ends up taking one too many baths, and the overstimulation causes her brain to burn out. They cart her away as a vegetable. In one episode, Blair teaches Jim how to control his pain sensation, which Jim does fairly well on the first try. In another episode, a doctor cleans out the wax build-up in Jim's ears, causing him to be constantly distracted by every tiny noise, such as someone tapping a pencil or whispering from the other side of the office. Blair gives him some white noise earbuds that help drown out the sounds, but Jim later adapts and learns to filter out the unnecessary sounds.
