A standard gadget in the Mad Scientist grab bag. The Hypno Ray allows the user to instantly hypnotize an unsuspecting target and make that person do their evil bidding. Often a Ray Gun, but the magical version usually takes the form of Eye Beams. The sequence follows a standard progression: The victim later hears the trigger and takes the action, no matter how inappropriate it may be at the time. This can often be combined with a mass media event to Take Over the World. These days, this type of device is usually limited to comedic settings. A Sub-Trope of Mind Control Device.

  • A standard gadget in the Mad Scientist grab bag. The Hypno Ray allows the user to instantly hypnotize an unsuspecting target and make that person do their evil bidding. Often a Ray Gun, but the magical version usually takes the form of Eye Beams. The sequence follows a standard progression: * The Mad Scientist flashes the Hypno Ray, instantly stunning the victim. * The victim displays Mind Control Eyes and usually starts repeating anything the attacker says, often to his annoyance. * The victim hears a suggestion that he must follow (often not what the attacker intended). * The Hypno Ray shuts off and the victim wonders what just happened. * The Mad Scientist realises a mistake in what he has said and has to flash them again. The victim later hears the trigger and takes the action, no matter how inappropriate it may be at the time. This can often be combined with a mass media event to Take Over the World. These days, this type of device is usually limited to comedic settings. A Sub-Trope of Mind Control Device. See Also: Hypno Fool, Charm Person, Jedi Mind Trick, Weak-Willed, Hypno Trinket. Not to be confused with Hypnotic Eyes. Examples of Hypno Ray include:
