miscellaneous [loved trope] the hero pathetically begs the villain for their life
The examples are:
The Wicker Man: In the end, the protagonist begs for his life while being burned alive inside the titular object
Ibitsu: This manga is about an unknown supernatural entity that chooses people to force them to become its “older siblings,” obviously isolating them from their loved ones and killing anyone who gets in the way. When the protagonist is about to be killed by it, he gets down on his knees and begs for mercy.

The scene in the park is literally Jean and her sister taking over innocent people's bodies for fun. That's a huge abuse of their power and horrible invasion of people's privacy and robbing them of their agency. By definition it's not rape but in the way it completely invades a person's mind and body and robs them of their agency, there are similarities.
Both Jean and her sister should never have been harmed by Damage Control, but they ABSOLUTELY needed to be detained. That girl needs Professor Xavier to straighten her out ASAP.
