The Gorgon from Star Trek (played by lawyer Melvin Belli), who equips the children with strange powers (invoked by up and down motions of a clenched fist) to influence the minds of the crew and take Enterprise away from Triacus, toward Marcus 12, and away from their legitimate destination, Starbase 4 and...

Ted Kennedy the Senator from Massachusetts, who equips the Democratic presidential election campaign with Mary Beth Cahill (invoked by up and down motions of a hand clenching a rocks glass filled with Scotch) to influence the minds of voters and take America out of the war on terror, toward John Kerry, and away from their legitimate leader, George Bush 43.

UPDATE: Richard has spotted another Gorgon in the news.
