* Raven from ''[[Teen Titans (Comic Book)|Teen Titans]]'' was conceived when the demon Trigon [[Bed Trick|tricked her mother into having sex with him in human form]], thus is a child of rape by fraud.
* Wallflower from the ''[[New Mutants]]'' was conceived when her father used his pheromone powers (which Laurie would inherit) to seduce her mother.
Line 34:
* [[Tom Strong]] was raped by [[Those Wacky Nazis|Ingrid Weiss]] and fathered a son Albrecht whom she raised to be a Nazi like herself. Tom only learned all of this when Ingrid showed up with their fully indoctrinated Nazi son.
* The title character of ''[[Nikolai Dante]]'' was conceived when Katarina was raped by Dmitri Romanov, and she almost killed him soon after birth. This rape is about the only thing that ever managed to really harm Katarina.

** A more villainous example is {{spoiler|Darius Parker, whose mother (Fin's ex wife) was [[Parental Incest|raped by her father]].}} While {{spoiler|he}} may not have known at the time, the fact that this is the reason {{spoiler|[[The Unfavorite|why his mother hated him so much that it's implied that she threatened him]]}} [[Freudian Excuse|could explain]] [[Sympathetic Murderer|what]] {{spoiler|[[Fate Worse Than Death|he]]}} [[Offing the Offspring|became]].
** Also, a good few cases deal with children by rape.
Line 109 ⟶ 108:
* In ''[[Neighbours]]'', Declan Napier and Julie Robinson-Martin were both the result of rape. Izzy invoked this when she told Karl that the child he'd believed was his was really Gus's. He found out she was lying less than a day later.
* One episode of ''[[Maury]]'' featured a woman who was convinced that her son was the product of a rape, since she'd been raped by a friend around the same time she'd had sex with her husband. As such she [[Parental Neglect|neglected the child]] in favor of her other children, and her husband, who was disturbed by how she was acting and decided [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|he'd love his son even if he wasn't the biological father]], dragged her in to get a [[Daddy DNA Test|DNA test]] to settle the matter once and for all. {{spoiler|It turns out the boy was her husband's son}}.

Line 116 ⟶ 114:
* Pegasus. He was Medusa's son-by-rape by Poseidon, and formed from her blood when she was slain by Perseus. [[Classical Mythology]] is like that.
* Would you believe that in classical mythology, good [[King Arthur]] was the product of a rape? [[Bed Trick|His father Uther Pendragon had a spell cast on him that made Ingraine think he was her husband]] (see the Literature section for more). Later on, his own half-sister Morgana would play the same trick on him, making their son Mordred a product of rape and incest as well as a [[Magnificent Bastard|bastard]] [[Bastard Bastard|in more ways than one.]]
* Merlin, too, was the product of rape. According to the Prose Merlin, an incubus raped his mother to create [[the Antichrist]]. Fortunately, he had free will and [[Anti-Anti-Christ|decided to use his powers for good]]. Some versions say the plan was foiled with the aid of a midwife and priest who baptized him immediately after his birth, severing his link to Hell.
== Tabletop Games ==
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'':
** Most half-orcs were implied to be the result of male orcs raping human women after raiding or conquering a human population. After half-orcs were left out of the original PHB for 4E because of the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of this origin, this trope was averted in the PHB 2, which re-introduced the half-orcs to the game and presented a number of non-rape origins for half-orcs in line with the primal power source introduced in the book.
*** It has been mentioned that with some half-orcs born this way, [[Moral Myopia| the human-side is not always the mother.]]
** Some half-elves get born this way as well, particularly in settings where humans and elves have gone to war against each other or are otherwise on hostile terms.
** Also in the 2nd edition of ''Advanced [[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the ''Monstrous Manual'' implies that minotaurs breed by raping human females.▼
** In ''[[GURPS]] Fantasy Folk'', it's noted that when it comes to half-orcs, "Contrary to human propaganda, the unfortunate mother is as likely to be Orcish as human."▼
** Specific example, Acererak, the [[Big Bad]] of ''[[Tomb of Horrors]]''. Short version, a ''really stupid'' wizard summoned a balor, a very powerful demon, but was unable to control it. It killed him and then raped a servant girl, impregnating her. Miraculously, she survived the birth of her half-fiend son, Acererak, but ten years later she was lynched by a mob who blamed her for bringing this "demon-child" into the world. Doubtlessly, they'd have killed Acererak too, but he was rescued by none other than Vecna himself (still a "regular" lich at that time) who destroyed the town and took Acererak as his protégé, and [[Start of Darkness|the rest is history]].
▲* Also in the 2nd edition of ''Advanced [[Dungeons & Dragons]]'', the Monstrous Manual implies that minotaurs breed by raping human females.
▲
* The [[Warcraft Expanded Universe]] implies that some half-orcs in this universe were conceived this way as well, and that the rapist could be of either gender/race.

* In ''[[Mob Ties]]'', {{spoiler|Mika conceived while in a coma after being raped by [[Big Bad]] Bengal. Her father tries to keep it a secret due to the fact that any reminder of the incident sends her into a horrible shock.}}
*
* Becca McKay in ''[[Shadowgirls]]'' appears to believe that she was the product of a rape committed during her mother's amnesia, since her father has never come forward.
* In the [[Ciem Webcomic Series]], Candi's family history is ''filled'' with instances of this. Honeybee Samuel was a consummate rapist, and every descendant of his down to Dwayne Lloyd followed suit. Shalia is the result of Dwayne raping Marissa.
** Ploribus/Darius is the result of Stan being half-cloned ''as a baby'' and the half-clone being inserted into one of Insila's eggs. The Phaelites have ethics debates for a reason.
