- "What you feel now is the power of my hypnotic gaze stopping you from making further fools of yourselves!!"
- ― Sauron to the New Avengers (Marvel Comics)
The power to hypnotize others via eye contact. Variation of Hypnosis.
Also Called[]
- Hypnotic Eyes/Gaze
Capability[]
Users can use direct eye contact to affect or directly influence and control other people's minds to their commands.
Applications[]
Associations[]
Limitations[]
- Users of Indomitable Will (too stubborn), Psychic Shield (highly resistant), Psychic Immunity (immune), and Control Immunity (immune).
- Subjects with effectual eye lessees, or in another case, those that have Eyeless Perception are immune. Due to the user of Hypnotic Eyes having to require their vision to control others, the eye roots that happen to transfer visual information into the brain to simulate eyesight are not there, meaning this will make the power useless.
- Idiots may not be hypnotizable (one of the laws of hypnosis in the real world and most fantasy worlds).
- May require close eye contact.
- Will not work if the victim is blind.
- May accidentally hypnotize friends and allies by looking at them.
- Contact lenses or glasses may limit or cancel this power's intensity.
- Direct eye contact may be needed, so breaking it will break the hypnosis
- May not work if either the user or victim had eye disease and disorder which affect their vision and the power's intensity.
- May not work if either the user or victim has only one eye or has a lazy eye, or is near or far-sighted and is not wearing glasses.
- In some cases, if the user's hypnotic eyes are reflected back at them (such as a mirror), it can hypnotize the user, if not immune to the effects.
- May not work if their target is blindfolded or somehow manage to find a way to cover their eyes (e.g. uses their own hands to cover their eyes, had someone else covered their eyes for them, wearing sleep mask, use a bandage or eye wrapped garments to covered their eyes to prevent eye contact).
- Target may have to be physically present, meaning it may not work if the user tries to hypnotize someone on a talk screen.
