* Come ''Anime/BorutoNarutoTheMovie'' and the ''Manga/{{Boruto}}'' retelling, the previous IdiotHero Manga/{{Naruto}} is now a calm and mature adult. He's the Hokage and is the leader of his village. This also applies to most of his generation as well.

* Tommy in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', who returns to superheroing as the team mentor figure after taking seven years off for college, graduate school, a doctorate program, and wildly successful research on superpowered dinosaur cyborgs. It is unknown, but doubtful, if the character slept between his departure in 1997 and return in 2004.

Tommy in ''Series/PowerRangersDinoThunder'', who returns to superheroing as the team mentor figure after taking seven years off for college, graduate school, a doctorate program, and [[GoneHorriblyRight wildly successful research research]] on superpowered dinosaur cyborgs.

** Adam from ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and ''Series/PowerRangersZeo'' returns in the 15th anniversary special "[[Series/PowerRangersOperationOverdrive Once A Ranger]]". He serves as the de-facto leader of the Ranger veterans. Later in the 30th anniversary special ''Film/MightyMorphinPowerRangersOnceAndAlways'', he and ImpliedLoveInterest Aisha are the leaders of [[SpacePolice Space Patrol Alpha]].
** For the 25th anniversary special "[[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Dimensions in Danger]]", Wes from ''[[Series/PowerRangersTimeForce Time Force]]'', Koda from ''[[Series/PowerRangersDinoCharge Dino Charge]]'', and Gemma from ''[[Series/PowerRangersRPM RPM]]'' have established an inter-dimensional alliance that connects all three Power Ranger timelines (the main universe, the [[RobotWar post-apocalyptic]] ''RPM'' world, and the AlternateHistoryDinosaurSurvival world of ''Dino Charge''), and in their spare time arrange [[SecretTestOfCharacter Secret Tests of Character]] that help younger Rangers unlock new powers.
** Dr. K from ''RPM'' gets two guest appearances in ''Series/PowerRangersBeastMorphers'', where she imparts some hard-earned wisdom onto Nate Silva. She can relate to his problem of [[spoiler:accidentally releasing a humanity-hating computer virus that wants to end the world.]]
** Downplayed with Billy, who returns from ''Mighty Morphin''' and ''Zeo'' to mentor team [[Series/PowerRangersCosmicFury Cosmic Fury]]. Billy was always TheSmartGuy, strategist, and weapons designer back in the day, so not much has changed other than his age and experience level.

* In ''Anime/{{Gatekeepers 21}}'', several of the heroes from the original ''VideoGame/{{Gatekeepers}}'', now grown up, are around as commanders, mentors and even parents to the new cast, and [[spoiler:one of them has become the new series' Big Bad]].

* ''Fanfic/IAmNotGoingThroughPubertyAgain'': The time travelers (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Hinata) have matured remarkably over the years; which is why they had no intention of going back in time even if they knew it was possible. Naruto sealed away those scrolls for a ''reason''.

* Zuko, Katara, and Toph all act as mentors to Korra at some point in ''WesternAnimation/LegendOfKorra''. Zuko, in particular, has calmed down a lot from how HotBlooded he was in his youth. Katara is still the same TeamMom as she always was (and is now a literal mom) but her temper never comes through. Toph isn’t quite as snarky as she used to be and is a DotingGrandparent oddly enough. And as Roku did to Aang in the ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'', an older Aang acts a spirit guide to Korra, since he is now the previous Avatar.
* Ahsoka Tano in ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars'' was Anakin's snippy, reckless KidHero Padawan. In ''WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels'' she's become a leader in the early rebellion and has matured into a warrior and mentor.
