Shrink Ray	comment	Examples in various media of a ray (a portable gun or a fixed installation) which can be used to shrink things (or, in some cases, alternately to expand things, probably by reversing the beam polarity). Has been subjected to Science Marches On and is a Discredited Trope; examples that do appear these days are more or less humorous, or else aimed at a target audience of kids. Most (not necessarily all) such are usually typified by one or more of the following: The shrunk object doesn't need to be unshrunk; this happens automatically (indeed, it can't be prevented). The further something is shrunk, the less time it remains shrunk. The mass of the object changes in proportion to the size change (well, to be pedantic, in proportion to the cube of the size change). Shrunk objects are more fragile than objects which are naturally of that size; this was handwaved in Fantastic Voyage as being because shrunk objects have loads of miniature atoms crammed into the space normally occupied by one atom. Shrunk/expanded items, even living creatures, continue to function as normal. (As anyone who's read Haldane's famous essay "On Being the Right Size", about the Square-Cube Law, knows, this is unrealistic; any living creature changed in size by more than a small extent would die in short order, due to being the wrong size for its shape.) See also Incredible Shrinking Man (which can result from this), No Conservation of Mass, Shapeshifter Baggage.

Shrink Ray / int_41804317	comment	Anpanman: This, in the form of a pistol, is Arinkokiddo's weapon, along with a growth gun. He's a tiny ant cowboy, so a zap from his shrink gun will bring the victim down to his size, with the growth gun being the only way to reverse the effects. In return, the growth gun can be used first to grow the victim into a colossal size, with the shrink gun returning them. The guns used to be squirt guns that launched out a liquid that changed sizes, but they now blast lasers. Thanks to his already tiny size, Baikinman has a tendency to nab his guns while he's napping, leaving him defenseless. In her original debut, Dokinchan's spear was also the form of a shrink ray. Like Arinkokiddo it has two color sides; red for shrinking, and blue for enlarging. It was even seen afterwards. Another episode had Bakinman inventing a mobile shrink ray. He originally intended it to shrink Anpanman, but instead gets shrunk himself. Then he gets bigger later after Horrorman and Dokinchan smashed it.

Shrink Ray / int_4c300a8c	comment	Lilo & Stitch: The Series has Jumba create two different shrink rays that are used for both shrinking and enlarging in separate episodes. In "Poxy", Jumba uses a "reducer ray" on Lilo and Stitch in the X-Buggy so the human-alien duo can capture a microscopic experiment that causes illness (X-222/Poxy) from within Pleakley. In "Short Stuff", Stitch uses a "Protoplasmic Growth Ray" so he can become big enough to ride a roller coaster, but accidentally goes too far and becomes too big. It becomes more difficult for him to move in his newfound giant size, and not only that but the episode's experiment (X-297/Shortstuff) also gets mistakenly enlarged and defeats Stitch in battle. Stitch is eventually returned to his normal small size to fight back and stop the experiment, who is then given a "one true place" that is based on one of his abilities and his new large size. Additionally, Gantu uses the shrink ray on X-625/Reuben to try to fight back against Stitch and his Ê»ohana, but the lazy experiment simply ignores them in favor of eating the world's largest sandwich.

She does so by making them smaller. Plants vs. Zombies: Heroes: This the Zombie Hero Rustbolt's signature superpower, even called Shrink Ray. Using it causes Rustbolt to fire one of these from his Powered Armor at a Plant Teammate, making them lose three attacking strength and even has the visual effect of actually shrinking them too. The Triassic set also features the return of Shrinking Violet as a trick. Due to the changes in gameplay, she now instead reduces the strength of a zombie and its next door teammates by two unless they are untrickable and if said teammates end up with 0 strength, she kills them. Said trick also causes the zombies to get shrunk.

Because the image of an object on television is always smaller than the actual object, teleporting an actual object by television requires the object in question to be much larger than it ordinarily would be — the result is that a chocolate bar the size of mattress comes out on the other end as no bigger than a regular chocolate bar. When Mike Teavee decides to try the system on himself, he winds up small enough to fit in the palm of his mother's hand. Since this ray's effects are permanent by design, Mike has to be stretched out to restore him to anything close to his original height (and winds up quite a bit taller than that).

In Supergirl's Three Super Girl-Friends, his improved shrinking ray can miniaturize entire planets. In the Silver and Bonze Ages, Superman had one that could be used to allow people to enter the Bottle-City of Kandor (which was originally shrunk by Brainiac using a shrink ray in "The Super Duel In Space"). Notably, Superman's shrink ray worked by exchanging one full-size person for one shrunken Kandorian, making them swap sizes. It was many years before he could find a way to enlarge all of Kandor on its own, and permanently, in Superman #338: "Let My People Grow!". On the cover of Superman 1939 #365, Supergirl shrinks Superman down to tiny size with a Shrink Ray Gun as shown here. In Superman: Brainiac, Brainiac shrinks and abducts Kandor, Metropolis and an undetermined number of cities with his shrinking ray. "The Phantom Superboy": Clark Kent finds a sealed cache of Kryptonian weapons and decides to test an enlarging ray on one tree. Superboy accidentally hits a tiny lizard, which grows until becoming several times larger than a T. rex. In The Unknown Supergirl, Supergirl uses a shrinking rifle provided by Brainiac's descendant Brainiac 5 to shrink a way-bigger-than-a-mountain monster down to the size of a lizard. In The Girl with the X-Ray Mind, villainess Lesla-Lar uses a shrinking ray cannon to bring her victim Lena Thorul into Kandor. In The Death of Luthor, the eponymous villain builds a portable shrinking ray to and he uses it to steal a bank...literaly, the whole bank.

However, it wouldn't be until the Stitch! anime that we see him using his abilities in action. "Shrink" has him shrinking the main characters down to a small size, although not to microscopic levels like in "Poxy" of The Series.

"Experiment-a-palooza" has him enlarging Stitch to become a giant.

His solution is to just shrink the town along with himself, so everything is relatively the same size as before (except Plankton).

Shrink Ray / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Master is armed in many of his appearances with a ray gun called the Tissue Compression Eliminator, which simultaneously kills the target and shrinks the corpse down to a convenient-to-dispose-of size. It kept the rule about shrunk objects having less mass, but mostly averted the one about living creatures surviving the process. The novelizations explicitly state at one point that the death is due to realistic Square-Cube Law effects. The one case where a person miniaturized by the TCE survives is when the Master accidentally miniaturizes himself. Two characters in the Doctor Who Magazine comic strip have survived the Tissue Compression Eliminator, Death's Head presumably because he is a robot and less subject to Square-Cube Law (later sources would suggest that he'd been artificially enlarged, and the TCE merely restored his "natural" size), and Izzy for unknown reasons. The TCE makes its new series debut in "Spyfall". "The Invisible Enemy" includes a "Fantastic Voyage" Plot (using a shrink ray based on the same technology as lets the TARDIS be bigger on the inside, allowing a bit of handwaving about the issues of shrinking living things). "The Armageddon Factor", by the same writers, has another shrink ray based on the same technology, built by a Time Lord friend of the Doctor's so the two of them can shrink down and hitch a lift into the villain's base. "Let's Kill Hitler" lampshades it: The episode features a robot that can shrink people and transport them inside itself. When Amy and Rory are captured, Rory explains that they were hit by a "miniaturisation ray" because "Well, there was a ray, and then we were miniaturized." "Into the Dalek" also features the "Fantastic Voyage" Plot, except the Doctor and Clara, plus several Red Shirts, are shrunk in order to go inside an apparently good Dalek and try to help it. Inside, they end up triggering the Dalek equivalent of an immune system (floating Attack Drones). Instead of teaching the Dalek to be good, the Doctor accidentally lets the Dalek absorb his deep hatred for the race, causing the Dalek to turn his innate hatred on its own people. The Doctor is horrified by the implications.

Shrink Ray / int_e7f260e5	comment	This trope shows up more than once in the Lilo & Stitch franchise. Lilo & Stitch: The Series has Jumba create two different shrink rays that are used for both shrinking and enlarging in separate episodes. In "Poxy", Jumba uses a "reducer ray" on Lilo and Stitch in the X-Buggy so the human-alien duo can capture a microscopic experiment that causes illness (X-222/Poxy) from within Pleakley. In "Short Stuff", Stitch uses a "Protoplasmic Growth Ray" so he can become big enough to ride a roller coaster, but accidentally goes too far and becomes too big. It becomes more difficult for him to move in his newfound giant size, and not only that but the episode's experiment (X-297/Shortstuff) also gets mistakenly enlarged and defeats Stitch in battle. Stitch is eventually returned to his normal small size to fight back and stop the experiment, who is then given a "one true place" that is based on one of his abilities and his new large size. Additionally, Gantu uses the shrink ray on X-625/Reuben to try to fight back against Stitch and his Ê»ohana, but the lazy experiment simply ignores them in favor of eating the world's largest sandwich. The finale film Leroy & Stitch reveals that Jumba also created a living shrink ray in the form of his very first experiment, X-001/Shrink, whose ability is shown via newspaper clippings that shows that he once enlarged Jumba's then-partner Dr. HÃ¤msterviel to a giant. However, it wouldn't be until the Stitch! anime that we see him using his abilities in action. "Shrink" has him shrinking the main characters down to a small size, although not to microscopic levels like in "Poxy" of The Series. The episode ends with the characters back to their regular sizes, and him enlarging the alien BooGoo to become bigger than the Earth. "Experiment-a-palooza" has him enlarging Stitch to become a giant. Not only that, because X-210/Retro's abilities were also used on Stitch, the blue experiment is also reverted to his original programming and goes on a rampage.

There are at least two points in the game involving wall-mounted Shrinker ray shooters which Duke has to use to shrink himself so he can fit through very small passages; similarly, in one level you can shrink yourself by firing the Shrinker at a mirror, giving you access to a secret room.

Shrink Ray / int_f95c488f	comment	Seen twice so far in the Arrowverse: In Legends of Tomorrow, Ray creates a device that can shrink and expand objects, although the effects are temporary, and the expanding feature was just in case they didn't want to wait for the shrinking to wear off. An episode of The Flash (2014) has a metahuman who can shrink things, which can only be changed back if they're affected by his powers a second time. Also, he just happens to be the man that the team are looking for some information about in that episode. Guess what happens to Cisco and Ralph after they try to stop him escape a confrontation.

Shrink Ray / int_fc0e7530	comment	Dexter's Laboratory: On one occasion, Dexter uses one of these to shrink himself and spy on Dee Dee (but with the side effect of gradually altering his perception of reality). In the Animesque Cartoon Network Groovies episode "Dee Dee and Dexter", Dexter uses a pistol-like device to shrink Dee Dee.

Shrink Ray / int_fe16b92c	comment	Happy Heroes: An arc in Season 5 features a similar invention - a spray with two buttons on it, one that makes things shrink when sprayed, and one that makes things grow. The shrink spray is what causes the Supermen, Doctor H., Big M., and Little M. to shrink and find themselves in an ant colony.
