* In ''Film/ZombielandDoubleTap'', Columbus notes in the opening narration that since the last movie, the zombies have evolved to the point where [[EliteZombie Elite Zombies]] have shown up. [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons Homers]] invert this, and are fat and stupid, like their namesake, and not considered wasting bullets on. [[Creator/StephenHawking Hawkings]], in contrast, are intelligent, able to to figure out how to open electronic locks or climb ladders. Ninjas are ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, able to quietly ambush their prey. Finally, during the movie the heroes discover the [[Franchise/{{Terminator}} T-800]], zombies that are fast enough to dodge bullets, durable enough that even the DoubleTap (or even more than that) isn't enough to take one down, and named for sharing the deadly persistence of their namesake.

You wouldn't even know that the first Phyrexian was a vanilla 0/3. New Phyrexia has moved past its original mono-black affinity and now has factions aligned with each of the colors, and a wider variety of abilities pertaining to each faction.
* ''TabletopGame/YuGiOh'': The continual onslaught against the Worms served as a catalyst for their evolution, and new forms that could withstand the continual attacks began to appear as a result.

* ''Franchise/MarvelUniverse'': The Brood are giant wasp-like aliens. Their Queen lays eggs inside their victims, which keep their hosts alive until they hatch. When this happens, the host and the symbiote merge into a fully grown Brood with the host's special genetic abilities. The process is almost flawless, as the Queen was very surprised when Wolverine's HealingFactor kills the symbiote she implanted in him.

** As a meta-example, many villains evolve throughout the decades to better reflect their adversaries and the time. ComicBook/LexLuthor has gone from foreign dictator to insane scientist to politician to business man to reflect the changing views of society, and many of Batman's villains have ceased to be gimmicky tricksters and evolved into dark and insane psychopaths. In ''Film/TheDarkKnight'', ComicBook/TheJoker himself is described as a terrorist, playing on the recent fear of terrorism striking the west over the the last decade.

* In ''Franchise/StarWars'', this was the idea behind the [[ReligionOfEvil Sith]]'s RuleOfTwo. After nearly getting wiped out by TheOrder and TheRepublic, Literature/DarthBane took their SocialDarwinist tenets to their logical conclusion and created a system in which there would be a linear MasterApprenticeChain of Sith, each stronger than the last and stockpiling their collective knowledge for generations. It was less effective than he'd hoped for a [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder variety]] [[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget of]] [[TheHeretic reasons]], but still led to them [[Film/RevengeOfTheSith taking over the galaxy]] for a time.
