* In ''Videogame/TalesFromTheBorderlands'', Handsome Jack, the villain of ''Videogame/Borderlands2'', has managed to return in the form of an [[VirtualGhost AI Copy]] that finds himself within Rhys' cybernetics, acting as both a mentor figure as well as pushing him towards worse acts. [[spoiler:In the final episode, Rhys finally manages to get rid of AI Jack by removing the cybernetic eye that he's uploaded to and is given the option of either [[DeaderThanDead crushing it]] or keeping it]].

Misuse, if the man's alive it can't very well be Post-Mortem now can it?

* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanBeyondReturnOfTheJoker'': It appears that the years-dead Joker is mysteriously alive again. It is eventually revealed that while the original Joker really is dead (the circumstances of his death being revealed in the movie), he unfortunately had one last trick up his sleeve. Specifically, the new Joker is actually the former Robin Tim Drake, on the verge of having his original personality permanently overwritten by a microchip implanted in his brain containing an upload of the original Joker's consciousness and DNA.

* A variation of this occurs in ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'', where it is eventually revealed that the Shredder keeps an online backup of his mind, in case his body is ever destroyed. After he was written out of the series -- exiled, but not killed -- the writers had that backup infect, rewrite, reformat, and eventually take over the mind of the cybernetic villainess Viral from the Fast Forward season, therefore allowing a new version of the Shredder (fittingly titled "Cyber Shredder") to enter the fold in Back to the Sewers.

** Slade makes a very effective one in "[[Recap/TeenTitansS3E5Haunted Haunted]]". He was thrown into a pool of lava in the second season, but the dust in his mask left a chemical substance that made Robin see, hear and feel Slade, even when he wasn't there. And as a final touch of paranoia, it turns out that ''someone'' deliberately triggered this effect from outside the tower...
** Slade is brought BackFromTheDead by Trigon in the following season. Whether he triggered the above plan himself is never stated.
