* ''ComicBook/Batgirl2000'': This was what happened with David Cain and Lady Shiva, who he saw as the only one worthy to bear his child, who he would shape into the world's greatest assassin. Their daughter was Cassandra Cain.
* When ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}: Son of the Bat'' was brought back into continuity in ''ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison'', the consensual encounter between Batman and Talia al Ghul that conceived a child was {{retcon}}ned into Talia [[SlippingAMickey drugging and raping]] Bruce in order to produce an heir in Damian. In later interviews, Creator/GrantMorrison admitted that it wasn't a deliberate retcon: they were going off faulty memories of ''Son of'', rather than just re-reading it, so got some important details wrong when (re)introducing Damian (like it being a consensual encounter).

** Spin-off ''Anime/TenchiMuyoWarOnGeminar'': In the [[TrappedInAnotherWorld world]] of Geminar, males who can pilot the HumongousMecha are exceedingly rare, and are treated more like stud horses than warriors, expected to be paired with other pilots to create a stronger new generation of future pilots; political control of a strong male pilot is a large bargaining chip. Later, it's revealed that [[spoiler:the NeglectfulPrecursors who created the mecha also created [ArtificalHuman] pilots, and could even send them to other worlds to breed with the natives to create still stronger children to be brought back--which is ''apparently'' how series hero Kenshi Masaki, Tenchi's half-brother, was conceived, with [[AllThereInTheManual supplemental material]] confirming that his mother Rhea was one such ArtificialHuman.]]

* Becomes a major plot point in ''Manga/TheFiveStarStories'', where budding MadScientist Meeth Silver Ballanche uses a sample of Sword Saint Douglas Kaien's DNA to impregnate herself. Their offspring, [[OverlyLongName Maximum HOLTFORS Ballanche Kaien]] does indeed grow up to be the ultimate lifeform and even ascends to become a member of the series' small collection of {{Physical God}}s.

* In the ''Literature/{{Temeraire}}'' series, Iskierka (the draconic equivalent to a BrattyTeenageDaughter) became obsessed with mating with Temeraire, convinced that any offspring of theirs would inherit both her [[IncendiaryExponent fire-breathing]] and his ''[[SuperShout Divine Wind]]'' abilities. Never mind that everyone--including her own captain--tells her that Breeding Does Not Work That Way. And even if it did, Chinese Celestials (like Temeraire) don't breed true.[[note]]Two Celestials breeding would produce an Imperial, which is what they thought Temeraire was, until he displayed the ''divine wind''[[/note]] [[spoiler: She's eventually proven right as she does indeed have an egg conceived in mating with Temeraire, and the dragon from it has both abilities - but it also has an even worse character than Iskierka ever had, making even Iskierka herself angry with her offspring at times.]]

* On ''WesternAnimation/{{Metalocalypse}}'', Lavona Succuboso and her AmazonBrigade, Succuboso Explosion, want Nathan Explosion's sperm so they can give birth to an army of perfect heavy metal warriors. Interestingly enough, Lavona's perfectly fine with Nathan dying after she gets the DNA. [[spoiler: They are thwarted by Murderface TakingTheBullet the first time, and the second time by a drunk Toki whacking her with a vodka bottle.]]
** Also Toki's Internet girlfriend. [[spoiler: Toki, taking the advice of his penis ([[ItMakesSenseInContext don't ask]]), bails by jumping out the window. The matchmaker company that set them up beats up Murderface in revenge.]]

* ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'': Envy's mother, a notorious {{Supervillain}}ess called The Black Strega, was born into an AncientConspiracy BreedingCult of mutants called The Bloodline but renounced the group when she was in her teens. After Fino's [[GenderBender transformation into Fina]], a rogue Bloodline member calling himself 'Literature/RoburTheConqueror' (a [[MadScientist Devisor]] who is looking to up his prestige in the group by improving his 'contribution' to their SuperBreedingProgram) kidnaps Fina so he could extract her eggs, which he intends to combine with his own sperm for the PeopleFarm aboard his airship. He also tries to [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe force her to marry him and have children with him directly]], to bump his status even further. This [[DisproportionateRetribution doesn't]] [[GenderBender end]] [[GettingSmiliesPaintedOnYourSoul well]] for Robur once [[MamaBear Strega]] finds out where he's taken her.

* On ''WesternAnimation/TheClevelandShow'', Cleveland runs into a woman who had a crush on him in high school and starts hanging out with her because of the boost to his ego. Eventually she drugs him, ties him to her bed naked, puts on a pair of latex gloves... let's just say the finale involves a fertility doctor, a turkey baster, and, for some reason, [[NoodleImplements hot air balloons]].

* Among the drow nobles in ''Webcomic/{{Drowtales}}'' this is in and of itself not unusual, with many noble women specifically choosing mates so their children can inherit rare and/or desired magical abilities and everyone knowing about it and [[ChosenConceptionPartner being fine with it]], but Snadhya'rune Vel'Sharen's attempts to gain access to a certain AntiMagic ability unique to [[spoiler:Quain'tana Val'Sarghress]] resulted in her taking [[spoiler:Quain's daughter Mel'arnach]] under her wing in order to have a child. What's unusual about this is [[spoiler:[[HomosexualReproduction both of them are women]], and Mel didn't even know about Snadhya's intentions or that the child even existed for many years]] and the eventual child, Kalki, didn't wind up inheriting the desired trait after all.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Magellan}}'', it turns out Charisma was conceived this way by her mother Evangaline. She was a LoonyFan of one of the most famous superheroes in the world, Epoch, and somehow managed to get ahold of his sperm. The story of [[NoodleIncident how she did it]] has yet to be fully revealed. This allowing her mother to get around the ManOfSteelWomanOfKleenex problem most [[FlyingBrick Flying Bricks]] experience in this world.

* In ''Series/TheBoys'', while holding [[IHaveYouNowMyPretty his ex-girlfriend]] [[WonderWomanWannabe Maeve]] prisoner, [[BigBad Homelander]] threatens to harvest her eggs if she kills herself.

[[AliceAndBob Alice desires Bob.]] Well, more Bob's DNA than Bob himself. She totally believes that her genes + his genes = Alice and Bob Squared - a child that contains the best of both of them. [[ArtisticLicenseBiology Genetics tend to not work that way]], but don't tell that to Alice. In this scenario, it is almost always the female chasing the male's genes.[[note]]In the absence of a surrogate mother, this ''is'' the significantly less {{Squick}}y way to do it. Plus a mother whose hand is forced this way by a man might just abort the baby.[[/note]] As often as Alice will openly state her intentions, she'll also work to secretly procure Bob's DNA (which usually leads to a LukeYouAreMyFather scenario).

To qualify as an example of this trope, the [[DarwinistDesire pursuit with intent to breed]] is the thing -- said wunderkind actually coming to be is a bonus.

* In ''ComicBook/RedRobin'' #12, it is revealed in TheStinger that everything Ra's al Ghul did in the series up until that point was to test Tim Drake. Ra's now knows that Tim will sire a worthy heir -- and a mysterious female companion assures him that she'll "get right on that". The results got Tim on the AttemptedRape page. He even lampshaded that this was how they got Damian.

* One of Creator/PhilFoglio's ''[=XXXenophile=]'' stories involves the Devil finally getting his chance to produce TheAntichrist, and picking his "perfect couple" at a singles' bar. [[spoiler:When God keeps talking about how cute and innocent they are, the Devil keeps pushing them to get kinkier as a result, and the astrologically correct time passes without the couple ever engaging in vaginal intercourse -- meaning no Antichrist is conceived.]]

* In ''The Song of the Tears'', the 3rd series in Ian Irvine's ''Literature/TheThreeWorldsCycle'', it turns out that [[spoiler: Maigraith]] has spent the last few generations obsessed with creating a new, perfect combination of the world's 4 human species [[spoiler: as a monument to Rulke, her dead lover]].

* When ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}: Son of the Bat'' was brought back into continuity, the consensual encounter between Batman and Talia Al-Ghul that conceived a child was retconned into Talia [[SlippingAMickey drugging and raping]] Bruce in order to produce an heir in Damian. In later interviews, Creator/GrantMorrison admitted that it wasn't a deliberate retcon: He was going off faulty memories of ''Son of'', rather than just re-reading it, so got some important details wrong when (re)introducing Damian (Like it being a consensual encounter).

* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' #110: Anissa, one of the female Viltrumites, approaches Mark about conceiving a child with her. She needed to [[ANaziByAnyOtherName fulfill her racial duty]] by bearing a child but refused to sleep with an Earthling to do so. Mark, as a half-Viltrumite, was good enough for her purposes. [[spoiler: When Mark refuses, she beats him into helplessness and rapes him. The next time she appears, she has a son and a [[DefectingForLove human husband and was expressing regret]] over her actions to conceive said son.]]

* This was what happened with David Cain and ComicBook/LadyShiva, who he saw as the only one worthy to bear his child, who he would shape into the world's greatest assassin. Their daughter was [[ComicBook/Batgirl2000 Cassandra Cain]].
* ComicBook/New52: ''ComicBook/LegionOfSuperHeroes'': A hostile alien race called the Dominators decides to even the odds against the good guys by combining their genes with those of other races to breed superior warriors. They are already trying it with the Daxamites (beings similar to Kryptonians) and kidnap Brainiac 5 and Dream Girl for their genes.
* In ''[[ComicBook/RobinSeries Red Robin]]'' #12, it was revealed in TheStinger that everything Ra's Al Ghul did in the series up till that point was to test Tim Drake. Ra's now knows that Tim will sire a worthy heir -- and a mysterious female companion assures him that she'll "get right on that". The results got Tim on the AttemptedRape page. He even lampshaded that this was how they got Damian.
* One of the major plotlines of ''ComicBook/{{Starman}}''. Jack Knight was [[spoiler:raped by the second Mist (daughter of the first) primarily so that she would have a bargaining chip]]. Jack eventually [[spoiler:gives up superheroing entirely to raise his son]].
* In the ''Franchise/{{Superman}}'' comics (and at least one episode of ''WesternAnimation/SupermanTheAnimatedSeries''), alien queen Maxima wanted Supes, both as a perfect mate and a genetic goldmine. His consent was purely optional, as far as she was concerned.
** Also, this can be seen as the motivation behind the creation of Connor Kent/Kon-El Superboy, who is a clone made from the genes of Superman and ComicBook/LexLuthor. Luthor obviously denies this interpretation vehemently.

* One ''ComicBook/{{XXXenophile}}'' story involved the Devil finally getting his chance to produce the Anti-Christ, and picking his "perfect couple" at a singles' bar. [[spoiler:And then God keeps talking about how cute and innocent they are, the Devil keeps pushing them to get kinkier as a result, and the astrologically correct time passes without the couple ever engaging in vaginal intercourse -- meaning no Anti-Christ was conceived.]]

* A possible example in ''LightNovel/KazeNoStigma''. Ayano's dad might just be trying to set up the BodyguardCrush between her and ultra-powerful Wind Contractor Kazuma for the short-term gain of entering someone that powerful into the family, but it seems rather more likely that he's planning for the long term - unfortunately, the series ended with [[DiedDuringProduction the writer's death]] before we could find out what the offspring of a Wind Contractor and a top-notch Fire Mage would be like...

* This is the basis of the plot of ''Literature/{{Maburaho}}''; Yuna, Rin, and Kuriko were all ordered to get their hands on Kazuki's powerful genes for the good of their upper-class family bloodlines. On the other hand, Yuuna at least had already been in love with him since childhood. And as the series goes on, Rin and Kuriko start to love Kazuki unconditionally as well.

** He also stole Scott Summers' DNA, looking to find out why Scott's father, the son of a powerful mutant - Colonel Alex Summers a.k.a. Havok - didn't have powers, and was surprised to find out the potential power of the Summers' genome. [[spoiler: He used it to create Remy LeBeau a.k.a. Gambit]].

* According to the ''Literature/MalleusMaleficarum'', this was how demons reproduced in the human realm, not being capable of conceiving children themselves. A [[HornyDevils succubus]] would seduce a man and collect his sperm. She would then pass it on to an incubus, her male equivalent, who would then mate with a human female. The resulting child would be a cambion, a half-demon. This admittedly ignores the fact that it is still human sperm being used in the insemination (Heinrich Kramer was writing without modern knowledge of genetics and the biology of sexual reproduction). [[http://www.cracked.com/article_21788_5-seemingly-sane-celebrities-with-bizarre-paranormal-beliefs.html Incidentally]], this was one of the occult subjects that Music/DavidBowie became obsessed with during his cocaine addiction in TheSeventies.

* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS7E2Design Desire]]" has the cast investigate a possible rape; it turns out the ''woman'' rendered the man (who they thought did it and had already made his life Hell) unconscious and then stole his sperm for her father's crazy genetics program. At the end of the episode's first part, she had given birth to the guy's kid. It turns out she actually made a living off of this, selling the sperm from several successful men to a eugenicist fertility clinic.

On the other hand, Yuuna at least had already been in love with him since childhood. And as the series goes on, Rin and Kuriko start to love Kazuki unconditionally as well.

* ''Manga/TwoThousandOneNights'' had stories on a group of [[SpacePeople New Generation]], a new strain of humans who became adapted to space, collecting genetic samples (both through sexual intercourse and laboratory methods) from older generation male. [[spoiler: Later, the final chapter explained their motives on collecting primeval genes--including almost harvesting children of 400-year old DNA from the beginning of the manga--which are needed to diversify the gene pool for their eternal voyage on board their ship Tachyonian.]]

* ''ComicBook/{{Invincible}}'' #110: Anissa, one of the female Viltrumites, approaches Mark about conceiving a child with her. She needed to [[ANaziByAnyOtherName fulfill her racial duty]] by bearing a child but refused to sleep with an Earthling to do so. Mark, as a half-Viltrumite, was good enough for her purposes.

* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has Sinister up to his usual shenanigans, genetics wise, though in a slightly different fashion:
** He telepathically manipulates Mrs Figg and Dumbledore's other observers to hide how Harry's being treated by the Dursleys so he can have free-rein to study him (being intrigued by the potential impact of magical genes mixing with the psychic potential of the Grey family, to whom Lily was related - he was very surprised when he found out that thanks to James having been an amnesiac incarnate Thor, there was a good deal more to Harry than met the eye).

** He's also mentioned as having been a lurking presence in Nazi death-camps, known as 'Nosferatu', who creeped out even the Nazis, and who sticks firmly in Magneto's memory.

* Happens to the protagonist of ''Film/{{Cthulhu}}''. As he's gay he turns down an offer to be a ChosenConceptionPartner, whereupon the woman concerned drugs and rapes him.

* An episode of ''Series/DoogieHowserMD'' had a new female department head try to get artificial insemination using Doogie to produced a genius child, but Doogie thought she meant the old-fashioned way. Their coworkers called her out on how creepy this was.

** ''VideoGame/FireEmblemGenealogyOfTheHolyWar'' sees [[BigBad Manfroy]] hunt down the descendants of Loptous in order to breed them together, thereby providing a host for the evil god. [[spoiler:He succeeds.]] This incestuous evil plan works because genetics ''[[AWizardDidIt do]]'' [[AWizardDidIt work that way in the game]]. The whole thing is played very much for the {{Squick}}, and to show just how much of an irredeemable bastard Manfroy is because a) one of the required children is [[spoiler:''[[IHaveYourWife the main character's wife]]'' (Sigurd's spouse and one of the local {{White Mage}}s, Deirdre))]], b) the other child is [[spoiler: a former WellIntentionedExtremist [[JerkAssWoobie whose life sucked ever since he was a little boy]], Duke Alvis]] and c) the future host (their kid), [[spoiler: Prince Julius]], [[UsedToBeASweetKid formerlly sweet yet frail]]. [[spoiler: Said plan is also Manfroy's perdition... Alvis and Deirdre ''happened'' to have '''twin''' kids, with the non-Loptous child being [[SpannerInTheWorks Princess Julia]], the person able to wield Narga... the magic that works directly as ''the opposite to Loptous' powers''. And not only that, but she managed to join LaResistance - led by her ''other'' brother (Deirdre's son) with Sigurd, Seliph, an excellent warrior who inherited Sigurd's [[HeroicLineage own Holy Blood]]...]]

* In ''WesternAnimation/FriskyDingo'' Grace Ryan uses some of Xander Crews's sperm she froze to impregnate herself. An unrelated ant-mutation causes it to go horribly, horribly wrong.

* In ''WesternAnimation/MoralOrel'', Stephanie thwarts Reverend Putty's flirtations by revealing that he's her father by way of this trope. Putty is rather pissed that his ''trash can'' got more action than him, and also he ([[VirginShaming who would love nothing more than to lose his virginity]]) would have impregnated her mother the old fashioned way if she had just ''asked''. They salvage the emerging relationship and bond as father and daughter.

* In ''{{Literature/Hannibal}}'', Barney (the intern at the facility Lecter was imprisoned at in ''Literature/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'') was hired by Mason Verger's sister for this purpose in a rather odd twist: [[spoiler: she's infertile, and wants Barney to help obtain Mason's semen to impregnate her lesbian lover. It's the only way for the child to be a blood relative and inherit a trust fund.]]

* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'': "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS7E2Design Desire]]" has the cast investigate a possible rape; it turns out the ''woman'' rendered the man (who they thought did it and had already made his life Hell) unconscious and then stole his sperm for her father's crazy genetics program.
