 A very early treatment from 1974, entitled "Telepathy 2000" takes  place in the future, begins with the protagonist (who is named  Harley Quinn) telepathically raping a woman in a subway, and was set  as a spy movie. In this version, a company called Cytodyne  Amalgamate was breeding evil Scanners to take over the world and the  U.S. Government was employing good Scanners to stop them.
