In fiction, the best way to calm down someone having a Superpower Meltdown or having their Berserk Button pressed is to hug them, regardless of how much danger the hugger puts themselves in to get to the huggee. Often overlaps with the I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight, and sometimes counts as a Ship Tease between the involved characters. Often serves something of a dual purpose, in some cases not only is the person trying to use the Power of Love, they're also trying to pin their arms down so their rampage will end. Examples of Cooldown Hug include:

These days it's subverted almost as often as it's played straight, usually in the form of the hugger being stabbed somehow by the huggee, though it's rarely fatal. Just as often, expect to see Interrupted Cooldown Hug stop the hugger before the calming finishes. A common tactic of the Cuddle Bug. See also Kill Me Now or Forever Stay Your Hand and Mind Hug, for when the hug is less literal. The Living Emotional Crutch may act as an ambulatory Cooldown Hug. Examples of Cooldown Hug include:
