Superhuman Trafficking	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In a setting where there are Mage Species, aliens, fairies, or superpowers that show up with sufficient regularity, these Differently Powered Individuals will have the hardship of being hunted by those who want to exploit them for money, power and... other uses. The government, corporations, Mad Scientists and criminal organizations may seek to enslave and co-opt them to evil ends, such as spying, Super Soldiering, For Science!, and many other purposes. In extreme cases they may become a Slave Race or Endangered Species thanks to this Fantastic Racism. The protagonists are likely a part of this oppressed group, and have to spend the story on the run from their oppressors, trying to escape their captors control, and/or thwarting their plans and helping their fellows escape. As a result of this trope, members of this oppressed group are likely to choose Transhuman Treachery and the enslavement (or eradication) of mankind, which can be poetically tragic if the fear of this is what lead to the enslavement in the first place.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_1bdeba5a	comment	The X-Men are basically the Trope Codifiers. Among the groups out to enslave them are: The Weapon X project, a secret black-books government program intended to transform mutants into brainwashed expendable Super Soldiers and powered covert agents. The U-Men are a band of humans whose desire for super-powers leads to their abducting and vivisecting mutants in order to experiment in gaining super-powers through blood transfusions and limb/organ/tissue grafts. The island nation of Genosha built its prosperity on mutant slavery, even having special teams sent out to kidnap mutants from other countries to enslave them, until Magneto stepped in and took over, unleashing the vengeful slave population to massacre the humans in a case of Pay Evil unto Evil. The villain Mojo's entire existence is practically to televise Differently Powered Individuals doing awesome things for the benefits of higher ratings. Their consent, is of course, purely optional. We once did see the Hellfire Club having an actual superhuman auction. This isn't as suicidally dumb as it sounds, as the Marvel Universe has always had a large population of lower-level superhumans, especially mutants — not always visible, but there. The club wasn't selling anyone who could kill you with their brain. Not to mention, the Hellfire Club is run by an Inner Circle of powerful superhumans in their own right. Natch, the X-Men had to break it up. Gambit was stolen from a hospital shortly after birth and given to a slave-trafficking sorcerer as a gift because of his demonic-looking eyes.

But instead of just giving them the powers and letting them be on their way, Bertrand boxes them up and attempts to sell them to foreign governments and warlords as super-soldiers-in-a-can for even more money. But it turns out that he doesn't even care about the money at all; it's actually part of his grand Evil Plan to spread fear and hatred of Conduits on a global scale.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_3e8c09b9	comment	Attack on Titan: After the Titan Wars, the Eldians remaining outside the Walls were rounded up by the nation of Marley and imprisoned in ghettos. While they claim this was an act of mercy, in reality Marley is merely exploiting them for their ability to transform into Titans. Extremely oppressive laws provide an excuse to arrest Eldians for whatever reason, subjecting them to experimentation or transformation into a mindless Titan. These Titans provide the backbone of the Marleyan military, unleashed on the battlefield to slaughter their enemies. With the launching of the Warrior program, Eldian families are encouraged to sell their own children to the military in exchange for better treatment. These children become fanatical tyke-bombs that believe their service to Marley will someday earn their kinsmen their freedom. The very best are given the "honor" of hosting one of the Nine Titans, giving them incredible powers in exchange for spending the last 13 years of their life as weapons for the military.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_4522fd1	comment	In the Whateley Universe, kidnapping and exploitation of superhumans (especially mutants and dynahosts) crops up from time to time in various forms. In particular, a major Story Arc set in late 2007 begins when a group of heroes (and one retired villain) rescue a kidnapped Whateley student, and in the process uncover a group called The Triangle; they are a splinter off of Humanity First! who claim to be seeking peaceful co-existence with mutants, but are covertly enslaving mutants with useful powers 'for the common good'. Other instances include the Loose Cannons getting sold to the operator of an illegal Blood Sport ring, from which they then try to escape. It also seems to be de rigeur for some Mad Scientists to kidnap superhumans for test subjects.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_629cd094	comment	Dragon Age: Origins: The main nations have a legalized example: all individuals, human or elf, with magical talent can be taken away by the Templars and placed inside a glorified prison with others of the like (ostensibly for their own and everyone else's protection) to toil away for the Chantry and whomever the Templars deem suitable clients. The situation is made complicated by the fact that mages are so because of their connection to the Fade, which includes a significant population of malevolent demons ready to use the mage as a tunnel to wreak havoc in the mortal world. A mage who loses control and gets possessed is generally accompanied by a massive body count. The Chantry sees its practices as a reasonable compromise: Mages are taken away from the public population for the safety of all, but the mages themselves aren't killed outright, but confined amongst their kind in relative comfort where they can study their art, use them for the better, and be warned not to give into the demons. As is with most complicated matters, there is ferocious debate on this in- and out-of-universe, and lots of room for abuse on both sides. The Qunari, for their part, treat their mages as dangerous beasts. All mages are called Saarebas, which literally means "dangerous thing" in Qunlat. They are forced to wear special collars that nullify their abilities and can be used to cause them great pain. Many also have their mouths sewn shut, so that they can't speak the words of a spell. In Dragon Age II, if a certain Qunari mage hunter finds out that you or anyone in your party is a free mage, he will go berserk and attack you immediately (of course, he would still attack you anyway for attempting to free a Saarebas). They have only recently started to grudgingly use Saarebas in warfare, once their attempt to fight the Tevinter Imperium (a magocracy) with only conventional means (including gunpowder) was met with devastating magic.

Every subject died after the town had to be shelled except for two, a woman and her newborn baby, who both exhibited odd capabilities. They were seized and designated "military assets" to spend the next forty years imprisoned and subject to all kinds of tests to develop tactics for fighting (and creating) new bioweapons.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_b8c3cc30	comment	Young Justice (2010): The "genomorphs" of Project Cadmus are genetically-engineered/cloned super-beings that are kept under mental control until ordered with a task. In fact, the events of the pilot episode were a carefully-crafted revolt by the genomorphs to supplant the control of the Light (the Nebulous Evil Organisation which created them), and allow the most human-looking of them (Superboy) to escape and act as their advocate to the outside world. Unfortunately, the Light is still in control, just more subtly, and Superboy has trouble even advocating for himself. Also, they left the same guy who was brainwashed into being head of security for the evil version of Project Cadmus as head of the reformed version, instead of getting him some damn therapy. As of Season 2, both of them have been cured of this. In Season 2, The Light have started making deals with evil alien forces, such as the Reach (and later, Darkseid of Apokolips) after advertising humanity's potential for superpowers, which means lots of homeless people getting kidnapped and shipped off for human experimentation to have their metahuman abilities activated. This subplot leads to a group of teenagers escaping the Reach's captivity, using their newfound superpowers to survive. In Season 3, the main story arc begins with our heroes trying to investigate and take down an international "metahuman trafficking" operation where countless people, mostly children and teenagers, are being kidnapped and turned into living weapons for sale to various governments and warlords not just on Earth, but also across the universe (including to the aforementioned Darkseid). It turns out that the child trafficking conspiracy is based primarily out of a secret laboratory beneath a children's hospital in Markovia.

During the Cold War, they kidnapped an eight year old Alison Carter (valuable, given that she was the secret daughter of Peggy and Steve and a fully fledged Super Soldier), and later do this in the Forever Red arc of the sequel, with a number of high-profile prisoners/slaves. Their prisoners included Lorna Dane a.k.a. Polaris, and their ultimate weapon: the Red Son (a reprogrammed version of Harry's Blank Slate body). That ended up enraging Lorna's father, none other than Marvel Comics: Magneto.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_e293455a	comment	Buffy the Vampire Slayer: This is the attitude of much of the Watchers' Council to Slayers, as utterly disposable tools who can always be replace by the next one if they fail or get rebellious. The final season reveals that this was not a case of Slowly Slipping Into Evil under the stress of protecting the world, but that the ancient magicians who created the First Slayer and set up the organization planned it that way from the start.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_e5de447c	comment	X-COM: The titular organization does this a lot to aliens — both by selling their corpses, which is pretty profitable in the beginning, and capturing living ones for interrogation and conducting research. XCOM 2: The Advent administration is a tyrannical regime that uses Bread and Circuses to lure ordinary humans into their gene clinics — at which point they're shipped off to laboratories and lethally harvested for traces of superhuman genetics, which are used to create superhero bodies for the ruling elite to possess.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_e7e37776	comment	In Firefly, a government facility known as "The Academy" exists to experiment on young people who show signs of psychic abilities and turn them into Super Soldiers. Among other things, the process vastly amplifies their Psychic Powers, but it frequently drives the subjects insane. The Academy recruits their 'students' by posing as a prestigious school; while there's no evidence of them using force to obtain new subjects, it's very difficult to get out again once you've signed on. Any escapees are hunted by "Hands of Blue" agents.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_ea505892	comment	World Trigger: The Neighbors' motive for coming to earth is essentially this. Drones are sent to earth to harvest humans for their Trion. Humans with low Trion merely have their Trion Glands removed (which is, naturally, fatal). Humans with sufficiently high Trion, however, are taken alive and used as Slaves Soldiers back in The Neighborhood.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_eaacc946	comment	Brennus: Not uncommon. People with the Adonis trait (especially if it comes with little or nothing else in the way of superpowers) are targets for sex slavery. Other powers tend to vary depending upon the risk-versus-reward scenario, but the Califate pays top-dollar for Contrivers, and everyone wants a Gadgeteer.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_f00d733b	comment	New World of Darkness: This crops up a couple times in Hunter: The Vigil. The Cheiron corporation does this to any being with powers, dissecting them to make medicine. Interestingly, their strategy is stated to be very successful at curing the sick. They also harvest organs to give their agents superpowers. On the squickier side of things, Ashwood Abbey is a compact of bored, rich dilettantes who hunt supernatural beings to, ah, entertain themselves.

Superhuman Trafficking / int_f3897bcf	comment	Witch Hunter Robin had the inquisition mostly out to kill witches, but the Japanese branch isn't averse to recruiting witches... in order to use them to hunt down their own kind. The ones they capture are then enslaved (or processed, it's not made clear) to produce "orbo", an Anti-Magic material.
