** While Misaki's power is most often described as "telepathy," it's actually [[MakingASplash hydrokinesis]] of such an incredibly precise degree that she can read and edit brain chemicals. Therefore, anyone who can physically control any aspect of their own brain is immune or at least resistant to her power. Mikoto is the most famous, but there's a level 4 hydrokinetic at her school who is likewise immune.

* In ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', the Ring does not strictly control minds, but it does have a strong ability to warp whoever is wearing it into an evil mutant of what they once were. Not Tom Bombadil, however. Tom is a very, very old being who is not impressed by the Ring at all. In fact, Tom just regards the Ring as somewhat amusing, but ultimately harmless curiousity and casually plays with it before handing it back to Frodo.
