Smuin Ballet's The Christmas Ballet, which the late choreographer Michael Smuin premiered in 1995, has earned its spot among the myriad of Bay Area holiday entertainments. This year's opening night at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts — performances run through Dec. 28 — was packed with a casually dressed yet festive crowd of all ages, including grandparents with their elementary school age charges. (Gratefully absent were the toddlers that flood ballet performances). It was probably the most diverse and receptive audience an evening of ballet can muster these days.

Came Back Strong
Master Kavar: I thought you had died in the Mandalorian Wars...The Hero is fighting The Dragon, or the Big Bad, and finds out he is hopelessly outmatched. The villain decides to go ahead and kill him off, and it's over. The hero is dead. Or is he? Perhaps he was Only Mostly Dead, or Death Is Cheap. Maybe The Medic was able to bring him back. Either way, he starts to fight again, and reveals that thanks to his defeat, he Took a Level in Badass and may have access to powers that he never had before. Congratulations, he just Came Back Strong. It's not a Desperation Attack or Heroic Resolve, but a permanent increase in one's Power Level. It could be that dying has opened his mind to new possibilities, he literally trained in hell, he was granted access to new spirit powers, a MacGuffin is used to help him return and he gains special abilities from it, the process that was used to revive him also repaired and/or strengthened his body (or gave him a new body better than the old one), or maybe his race just makes him stronger from death. Villains do this a lot too, of course. Many are the heroes who have watched their nemeses perish, only to later find their foes risen from the depths of Hell with greater power than ever before. Contrast Came Back Wrong and Resurrection Sickness. Compare Heroic Second Wind, which is similar to this without the nasty implications of death. Death-Activated Superpower is a subtrope. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware.
Kreia: "Die"? No - became stronger, yes.

Anime and Manga
- Dragon Ball Z,
- Saiyans have this as a racial ability, called "zenkai" (full release): if a Saiyan can recover from a near fatal injury, they receive a power-up. Vegeta uses this to his advantage on Namek by having Dende heal him after intentionally letting Krillin almost kill him.
- Later, Cell self-destructs and re-forms thanks to having the Namekian Healing Factor turned Up to Eleven, and gets a power boost because he has Saiyan cells. This is the last time this Saiyan trait is specifically mentioned. Even worse, his death happening in close contact with Goku allowed Cell to learn his Instant Transmission technique (he also claims to know the Spirit Bomb, but doesn't use it in the anime.)
- There's also the example of dying and then training in the afterlife, especially with King Kai. Goku learned the Kaio Ken, Spirit Bomb (AKA the Genki Dama), and gained his Super Saiyan 2 and 3 forms this way.
- There's also Freeza, who is maimed and near death when his shattered body is discovered by his father and rebuilt with cybernetics to be even stronger than before. It doesn't help. Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F toys with this, as the mere act of Freeza coming back to life isn't what powers him up; it's the realization that he can't just coast on his natural power, which leads him to train for the first time in his life and achieve a Golden Super Mode that puts him nearly at the level of a Physical God.
- There's also Shenron once Dende became Kami who is now able to grant two wishes instead of one (they tried to allow him to grant three, but Piccolo tells them that letting him do that would prevent him from reviving multiple people.)
- In Zatch Bell!, Kiyomaru dies or comes very close to it in Faudo, and when he reawakens his heart power is massively increased and he gains the Answer-Talker ability. An innate and little understood psychic power, you get this power by having the potential and strict training (like Dufort) or coming back from the dead (like Kiyo). Answer-Talker grants the user the ability to answer any question as well as being able to understand things from on the spot and become an instant expert on subjects. Dufort used this to great effect during his battle with Kiyo and Kiyo himself uses it to guide his allies to victory with perfect strategies as well as for more mundane things like predicting weather or reading a dead language no else can.
- The best way to increase one's spirit energy in Shaman King is to die, severely injured, or be in a near death state because this brings one closer to the spirit world. All of the main warrior characters die at least once in the manga, and some die several times. In the anime, the Tome of The Shaman enabled the main characters spirit energy to raise, and after Len and Yoh had nearly been killed they came back stronger, with Len curbstomping 1/3 of Zeke's followers combined with The Power of Friendship, and Yoh was able to give his brother a Villainous Breakdown.
- In Aflame Inferno, the main character gets possessed by Inferno after his nearly fatal blow.
- Kazuki of Busou Renkin gains his renkin as his heart because he almost dies. He also pulls this trope again in episode 14.
- Yusuke from YuYu Hakusho did not awaken his spirit powers until after his death, and later he awakened his demon powers after his second death. It's outright stated that the latter instance happened because of the former. At the time of his first death, Yusuke was merely a slightly strong human. At his second, he was an A-Class fighter who could send someone flying with the shockwave of a relatively weak punch.
- Phoenix Ikki in Saint Seiya. Every time he's killed, he comes back twice as strong. Given that he died quite a few times, he's an undisputed powerhouse now.
- In Bleach, the straightest example would be Ichigo's near death, or hollow, transformation to regain his spirit powers. The normal example of dying and becoming a shinigami or a hollow does not work because you never come back to life, you stay dead. Ichigo's Hollow form is a unique example. Whenever Ichigo is Only Mostly Dead or outclassed and exhausted it tends to take advantage of his weakness by taking control of his body.
- After Ulquiorra blasts a hole straight through Ichigo's chest, the Hollow's powers go completely insane (seemingly neither Ichigo nor his Inner Hollow, which while vicious is also quite coherent, is in control, and instead their combined powers form a being of pure instinct), and tears apart Ulqiuorra and nearly kills Ishida. It also tanks everything thrown at it and is only stopped by one of its own attacks
- In Princess Resurrection, one has to die in order to become an immortal blood warrior.
- Brook from One Piece plays this somewhat straight. He died and came back as a skeleton, so, while he isn't explicitly stronger, he is much faster now, a lot harder to kill, and able to do things like run on water or jump distances that are ridiculous even by One Piece standards. This is all explained by skeleton!Brook apparently having the same level of strength that human!Brook did, but vastly lower mass.
- In Fullmetal Alchemist, Ed and Al both nearly die when they try to resurrect their mother. They barely survive and gain the ability to use alchemy without circles, and Al is also a Made of Indestructium Animated Armor. Overlaps with Blessed with Suck, since Ed lost a leg and an arm in the process, and Al loses his entire body, and cannot eat, sleep, or experience any senses aside from seeing and hearing.
- Earlier, their father had his body replaced by a Philosopher's Stone containing over 500,000 souls, granting him near-immortality. This is actually what leads to him disappearing - he's very happy that he's survived long enough to meet his wife and children, but can't bear the thought of out-living them as well. During his research to making him fully mortal, he discovered Father's nation-wide circle and set out to stop it.
- Code:Breaker's Ogami pulls this trope twice. The first time when he was a child and received the Emperor's flame, and the second when Yuuki kills him and the Emperor allows him access to the next flame for making the correct choice.
- Tsukune Aono from Rosario To Vampire combines this trope with Came Back Wrong via liberal use of vampire blood. Later it's just this trope when he learns to control his Super-Powered Evil Side. Ultimately, Tsukune outright becomes a vampire, which in this story has very few downsides.
- In King of Thorn, Marco Owen is killed by Zeus. However, another character sacrifices her life to bring him back, and the new Medusa-enhanced body she gives him has useful new abilities such as a resistance to Zeus's electrical attacks.
- In Digimon Adventure, every time Myotismon is killed, he eventually simply comes back in a more powerful form. Until the Grand Finale of Adventure 02, where his soul is blown up, most likely rendering him Deader Than Dead.
- In Mahou Sensei Negima!, it is later revealed that Negi died from Heroic RROD after his fight with Dynamis, and came back via Magia Erebea, fusing with it in the process.
- A few characters in Psyren.
- Kabuto Kirisaki got his full PSI power after he takes the brunt of an attack meant for Ageha.
- Caprico got her PSI power after she fell off a cliff and hit her head as a child.
- Kagetora got his PSI powered up after he nearly got killed a few times, got tortured, had a house dropped on him, and had to dig some people by a mad man and his lackeys.
- Oboro Mochizuki greatly enhances his PSY after he gets a big hole punched into his chest and thrown half dead into an old Tavoo core factory where he fuses with them.
- Over on Naruto, you could technically apply this to anyone brought back through Edo Tensei / Reanimation, since the zombies it creates can regenerate from ash and have unlimited stamina. Too bad you still have to follow the summoner's orders unless you're Itachi or Madara. The stand-out example would be (the REAL) Madara. He's physically in his prime but has all the modifications he could only make after he was too decrepit to show them off, and doesn't have to worry about little things like being bisected.
- Surprisingly Madara came back even stronger after being truly resurrected through Rinne Tensei. Apparently, having a real body gives him access to techniques enough to curb-stomp the 9 bijuus, Naruto, Sasuke and Tobirama altogether.
- The said curb-stomp resulted in Naruto and Sasuke having a near-death experience. They came back, with Rikudo Sennin's powers, namely Rikudo Senjutsu and Rinnegan, power-ups enough to match the now Jichuuriki Madara.
- Attack on Titan: Eren Yeager suffers the loss of An Arm and a Leg and then ends up being swallowed by a Titan while rescuing his best friend. Good thing his Lovecraftian Superpower decided to manifest...
- Tenchi and Sasami end up with this thanks to Tsunami in the Tenchi Muyo! OVA. Tsunami bonds with Sasami and Tsunami ends up rescuing Tenchi from death after a counterattack ended up backfiring. Now Sasami's stated to become Tsunami in the future and Tenchi is now the avatar of that universe's God.
- In Puella Magi Madoka Magica the Movie: Rebellion, Sayaka Miki comes back to life as a master swordswoman, able to pull off tricks like stabbing Homura's time shield before she can use it to freeze time. It's explained that she gained the memories of her past incarnations from the "Groundhog Day" Loop, giving her tremendous experience. She also gained the ability to summon her witch form, Oktavia von Seckendorff, to assist her in battle.
- Battler, from Umineko: When They Cry, takes Dlanor's Red Key through the chest at the climax of Ep5. His death gives him as much time as he needed to think back over the mysteries of the novel, realise what he'd been missing, come to understand the Truth of the Game and will himself back to life as one of the most Bad Ass and powerful characters in a series filled with already-overpowered characters.
- Ryougi Shiki in Kara no Kyoukai gains a stronger version of the same ability when one of her two personalities dies, leaving a hole to Akasha in its place. Effectively her new second personality is the universe itself, and possesses unlimited power.
- Kagerou Project: Played straight with every main character, who all came back with super powers after dying on August 15th. The best examples are Takane Enomoto and Haruka Kokonose, both rather ill in life, who came back as an immortal digital being and a super-strong version of himself, respectively.
- Tokyo Ghoul plays with this trope.
- Ken Kaneki emerges from each brush with death more powerful than before, essentially being reborn in a stronger form. The series begins with him barely surviving a Ghoul attack, and ending up transformed from a normal human into a Half-Human Hybrid. Some time later, he is tortured for over a week and kept in a near-death state until he begins to hallucinate and ends up symbolically killing his humanity, devouring the symbolized form of his Ghoul half and emerging with his powers fully awakened — with a new Red Right Hand including white hair to fully symbolize his transformation. His quest to become more powerful eventually leads to a third "death", as the insane Kakuja "Centipede", a state he describes as devouring himself and dying. At the finale, he is again left in a near-death state after his battle with Arima. In the sequel, he is revealed to have become Amnesiac Hero Haise Sasaki and is shown to have gotten even stronger as a result.
- In the sequel, former Plucky Comic Relief Seidou Takizawa combines this with Came Back Wrong. Revealed to have survived being Fed to the Beast through the same Emergency Transformation that Kaneki once endured, he returns as an incredibly powerful (and deranged) Half-Human Hybrid. He quickly establishes himself as a major threat, slaughtering his way through every Investigator in his path.
- This is essentially how Tenchi came across his God-like potential in Tenchi Muyo!. The first time, he's nearly killed by a reflected shot by the Souja and only saved by Ayeka's guardians and Tsunami. When Tsunami heals him, she lets him know of his power, which allows him to beat Kagato. The second time, he took an attack meant for Ryoko by Z, which skyrocketed his powers to God-tier, literally. After the second one, Tsunami, Tokimi and Washu agree that he needs to come into this power a lot more naturally and hit the Reset Button. He's much stronger in the new timeline.
Card Games
- Yu-Gi-Oh!: According to the Gagaga Academy Tospedia card storylines, "Reaper" was on the verge of death due to the out-of-control magic he was using. "Hierophant" and "Empress", unwilling to stand aside any more, were determined to try and save his life by exorcising the Dark Magic inside him by amplifying the Light Magic that existed inside him all along. At the end of the intense conflict between Holy and Wicked magic, he ended up being revived in a miracle.
- Magic The Gathering:
- In the game itself, there are cards that trigger Came Back Strong in both players and creatures. Tuktuk the Explorer does this to himself: As a 2/2 for three mana, he's beneath the curve. When he dies, you put a 5/5 token into play called Tuktuk the Returned.
- The new "Undying" rule leads to creatures that die returning from the graveyard with slightly higher power and toughness, but die permanently if killed while stronger. If combined with persist (which leads to "came back weaker", but die permanently if killed while weaker), the conditions counter each other and you can get creatures that simply never die.
Comic Books
- Watchmen's Dr. Manhattan also fulfills this trope, although it's not solely his death that is the catalyst of his powers, but the way he died. That is being disintegrated at the sub-atomic level but remaining conscious and disembodied for months before figuring out how to make a new body.
- In the original Thanos stories in the 1970s, this was how Adam Warlock "finally" defeated Thanos.
- Thanos himself is later resurrected with a considerable power boost from Mistress Death.
- In Invincible, Allen the Alien becomes stronger every time he regenerates from life-threatening wounds. At the beginning of the series, he was barely able to fight the Virtumites one on one. Now he's more than a match for one or two of them. With the exception of Grand Regent Thragg.
- This temporarily happened to Doctor Doom in Mark Millar's Fantastic Four run. He gets thrown to the past by a villain called the Marquis, and survives as he put it "by sheer hatred", Pre Retcon that is. Dark Avengers shows readers that he's saved by the time traveling Thunderbolts. It still doesn't explain his supposed power-up being lost, though his power up was regarded as Canon Discontinuity by all the other writers since.
- This is Superman foe Doomsday's power; whenever he is killed, he is able to come back to life, with an added resistance to anything that had ever killed him before.
- In volume six of Scott Pilgrim, Scott gets killed by Gideon, gets trapped in limbo, comes back (because of his extra life), and defeats Gideon, thanks to the power of understanding.
- Phoenix from The Dark Phoenix Saga, overlapping with Came Back Wrong—at least until the Retcon that the "Jean Grey" from the shuttle crash to her death on the moon was an impostor.
- Later, in the Planet X arc of New X-Men, Jean and Wolverine are headed into the sun, and Wolvie kills Jean to spare her the agony of incineration. She soon awakens in full Phoenix mode, reshapes the asteroid into a ship with the power of her mind, and easily returns to Earth. And this time, she came back right.
- In the Star Wars Legacy comics, Big Bad Darth Krayt comes back from the dead and is no longer bothered by the crippling Yuuzhan Vong implants while also becoming more formidable and Drunk on the Dark Side than ever. He then attempts to invoke this trope on Cade Skywalker, hoping Cade will have the same reaction with The Dark Side and finally be his disciple, but it just encourages Cade to embrace the Light Side and kill Krayt.
- Doctor Strange, as part of his trials to become Sorcerer Supreme, had to meet Death in combat. When he realized he couldn't defeat or escape Death, he surrendered entirely to it, died, and was restored to life—now functionally immortal.
- Technically Superman following The Death of Superman. His revival and being utterly supercharged by the Eradicator's Heroic Sacrifice gave him a massive jump in power.
- Completely by accident, this is what happened to Damian Wayne at the end of the Batman storyline, Robin Rises.
- Über had the character "Katyusha" Maria, a Russia sniper exposed to the substance that makes superhumans but also often kills. To say her reaction is severe is an understatement- she literally wakes up in a mass grave, but once the process is complete becomes one of the most dangerous Ubers in the war.
- Sonic the Hedgehog: Half of the Knothole Freedom Fighters gets utterly trashed by Eggman (who himself Came Back Strong from a mental illness) and all SatAm characters are eventually wiped out of an existence by the Genesis Wave... except Eggman's plan fails at the last minute during the history rewriting process. The result is that the new incarnation of the team not only regain the memories of their past life, but also become a lot stronger and properly equipped. Bunnie is back into her rabbot state, Antoine gains new sword skills, Rotor is younger and more active, Sally and Nicole are smarter, and King Max is no longer a nutcase. Lastly, the team gets a flying base and personal hoverboards for all the ground units that tremendously increase their mobility and teamwork.
- In Violine, Muller comes back after surviving his aparent death at the jaws of crocodiles, losing his arms, and replacing them with mechanical ones with claws, giving him increased strength, and taking a level in badass, revealing himself to be the series' Greater Scope Villain.
Fan Works
- Due to the spell in question being far more powerful, Jesse McNally in The Hell-er-Nator: Chaos Machine comes back to life with the powers and experience of Immortal Iron Fist.
- In Crossed Paths, several of the heroes' old enemies get resurrected and are tougher than ever. The swordsman whom Indiana Jones infamously shot can now deflect bullets with his sword and fight evenly against someone of Samurai Jack's caliber. Demongo is no longer a Squishy Wizard, etc.
- In the Death Note Revenge Fic, Apples Equals Cyanide Equals Light, Light Yagami becomes a Shinigami after his death, which makes him nearly immortal, along with other advantages.
- In Super Sentai Vs Power Rangers The Liveblog, after a heroic sacrifice by having the All-Stars defeat them before they transformed into Radiguet's monsters, the Scouts return with stronger powers granted by the Phantom Ranger, Sentinel Knight, and Aka Red. Mako gains stronger Wind-based powers, Tori would have a stronger control over water, Xander gains access to stronger Forest-themed magic, Dan can manipulate shadows and have more powerful Energy attacks, and Mao would get all the Yellow Rangers' Keys without the need to borrow any of them from the past heroes. The sixth scout, Sean, becomes the Ultimate Red Legendary Ranger, gaining the powers of all the past Red Rangers.
- In the Pony POV Series Dark World Arc, Twilight has her Element of Chaos ripped out by Angry Pie, causing her to begin rapidly aging to death. However, she gets Trixie's Element of Magic from her grave (it's heavily implied to have been a gift from Trixie's spirit), restoring her and teaching her all of Trixie's spells.
- At the end of Dark World, Rarity, now the Alicorn of the Mortal World Queen Libra, is given the chance to bring everyone who died as a result of Discord and his minions' actions Back from the Dead. Due to Heaven encouraging continuing the pursuits you did in life if you genuinely enjoyed them and they weren't evil, now possibly studying under the spirits of past masters in that craft, several ponies were subject to this trope. For example, Apple Pie's sister Poison Apple has spent the time since her passing until now training in alchemy with Zecora and came back with much more advanced knowledge to the point of being able to whip up a brew to melt the bars of a prison cell.
- Species-wide example in the Warhammer 40,000 Dark Fic, The Age of Dusk. Most factions believed the Orks were eradicated back in the 51st Millennium, but this is not the case: Ork spores lay dormant on several planetary ecosystems, which over a long time finally grew back as Orks, only this time they are far more disciplined and organised than before. Also happens with the Eldar god of murder, Khaine, who is resurrected by the Dark Eldar - Khaine mops the floor with Slaanesh, when the first time they fought, Slaanesh shattered Khaine into pieces.
- This happens to Sing in Kung Fu Hustle. Beaten practically to death, he somehow emerges from his cocoon of bandages as a superpowered master. The beating apparently opened all the previously blocked chi paths in his body, unlocking his heavily-foreshadowed hidden potential.
- Star Wars's Obi-Wan claims that if Vader strikes him down, he'll become even more powerful. Obi-Wan's spirit makes a few appearances in the rest of the series, but whatever power he does have seems limited to influence. He's probably referring to merging with the Force.
- Revenge of the Sith reveals that Obi-Wan learned this trick from Yoda, who himself learned it from the Force-ghost of Qui-gon. It's not clear how Anakin/Vader learned to do it.
- Charlie St Cloud: After almost dying in a car accident, Charlie gains the ability to see and speak with the dead.
- Resurrection (1980): After surviving a car crash that killed her husband, a woman finds that she has miraculous healing powers.
- Sara of The Craft nearly died but she managed to invoke the power of Manon.
- Happens twice to King Ghidorah in the film GMK. Once when Mothra sacrifices herself and Ghidorah absorbs her essence to become stronger and once when Ghidorah absorbs an artifact from the shrine in which he was placed/worshiped. However, it's still not enough to defeat Godzilla.
- Occurs to Godzilla himself in Godzilla VS Mechagodzilla II when Rodan sacrifices himself to revive Godzilla after Mechagodzilla nearly kills him. Godzilla becomes more powerful because of it and gains his most powerful attack-the Spiral Beam, which he uses to utterly obliterate Mechagodzilla.
- Neo of The Matrix only gets to awaken his spoon-bending powers after being killed by Agent Smith in the first movie.
- Alex Murphy is killed in action in RoboCop (1987), but he is reconstructed as the titular cyborg, an implacable crime-fighting machine.
- A premature death (usually violent) is what awakens the quickening of the immortals of Highlander which enables them to live forever and rapidly heal from any injury.
- Jason Voorhees from the Friday the 13th films. In his first appearance (which happened in the second film; his mother was the killer in the first movie) he's just a regular human. A very large, strong, and tough human, but still a human. But after he's killed he comes back as a near-unstoppable undead abomination. This only gets worse in Jason X when he's accidentally upgraded with cybernetic implants.
- In Scott Pilgrim Vs The World, Scott gets killed by Gideon, gets trapped in limbo, comes back (because of his extra life). He manages to reconcile with Kim, apologize to both Ramona and Knives for cheating on both of them, and then finally kicks Gideon's ass.
- In The LEGO Movie, Emmett becomes a Master Builder after "dying", getting a glimpse of the human world, and returning.
- In Avengers: Age of Ultron, the Avengers keep destroying Ultron's mechanical chassis, only to have him upload himself into increasingly upgraded physical forms. In the climax, the main Ultron body is made of Vibranium.
- In Dune, Paul Atreides almost dies when he drinks the Water of Life, and when he wakes up he is the Kwisatz Haderach.
- To a lesser degree, every Reverend Mother. Until they drink the Water of Life, the Bene Gesserit do not possess any special powers beyond the Charles Atlas Superpower. After managing to drink the Water, internally convert it into a Super Serum, and survive, the Bene Gesserit emerges with access to Other Memory (the genetic memory of all her female ancestors). Not every Bene Gesserit survives the test. In fact, the prequel novels show that it took many decades for Raquella Berto-Anirul's accident (she manages to survive a poisoning attempt) to be successfully recreated.
- Norma Cenva is a borderline example. A Muggle Born of Mages, she is short and unattractive but possesses an incredible scientific mind. Many years later, she is captured by the Cymeks, and the danger activates her previously-latent Psychic Powers. The burst of psychic energy kills every Cymek around her and also obliterates her own body. Using her newfound abilities, her disembodied consciousness rebuilds her body molecule-by-molecule in a new, much hotter form, based on a composite of her female ancestors' looks. Not only does she become the most powerful Sorceress of Rossak, but she eventually becomes the very first Navigator (when she eventually allows her body to mutate, previously keeping it unchanging through sheer force of will). Unlike other Navigators, she is also able to fold space without a Holtzman engine.
- In The Lord of the Rings, Gandalf the Grey dies and comes back as Gandalf the White with augmented powers and authority. He is a lesser-angel figure on a mission from greater-angels and hasn't completed his quest so he is sent back and the restrictions previously placed on his power (to prevent overreliance or corruption) are relaxed.
- Stephen King's The Dead Zone: A man is critically injured in a car accident and is in a coma for five years. When he wakes up, he has psychic powers, including precognition and psychometry.
- Dreamcatcher by Stephen King (book and film): Jonesy's near-death experience is necessary for him to fight off Mr. Gray to the point that the heroes' mentally-retarded messianic spirit guide appears to him in a vision to make him almost kill himself so as to prepare him to battle aliens.
- In Eoin Colfer's The Supernaturalist, people who've undergone a near-death experience can see the Parasites - not always permanently, but that's how it is for all the named characters - and are therefore able to fight them. (So can Bartoli babies, but that's beside the point.)
- In the TabletopGame.Magic The Gathering novels, a Planeswalker only has full access to their powers after experiencing extreme physical trauma (sometimes, but not always, death).
- A Madness Of Angels by Kate Griffin begins with the protagonist being mysteriously resurrected, possessed (and empowered) by the "blue electric angels" of telephony.
- The Dresden Files:
- In Grave Peril, at the climax of the book Harry is killed by the Nightmare in his dreams, and is immediately revived via CPR. When he comes back, Harry has created a ghost of himself (ghosts being psychic copies of the individual who died and are created at the moment of death) and the two proceed to whup ass. While doing so, Harry eats the Nightmare in his dreams and thus absorbs his magical power, allowing him to come back with so much strength that he vaporizes a pair of vampires almost instantly with no effort.
- To some extent when he was assassinated—he was already the Winter Knight, but he was incredibly drained and had nothing material left—not his house, his car, his weapons, his pets, his equipment, only a single change of clothes... and then he spent most of a book as a powerless ghost. Now? The Winter Knight is back in town, and just dictated terms to Queen Mab.
- In Skin Game, Murphy's improper use of the Sword of Faith led to Nicodemus shattering the blade. However, the power wasn't truly gone, and when Waldo Butters proved himself worthy of being a Knight, the Sword reconstituted itself in into a genuine Lightsaber. This is because of his deep belief in the morals of Star Wars.
- A variation happens in the Dragaera novel Issola when Lady Teldra gets killed with a Morganti weapon. Vlad uses it to create a new Great Weapon, which makes him permanently stronger, starting with slaying a Jenoine.
- There's a short story where colonists on an alien planet deal with escalating threats from local fauna, starting with pests that feed on their crops and working up to large predators. Eventually someone works out that it's the same life form, coming back stronger each time they wipe it out. He realizes this just in time to stop them from killing an alien that looks human:
"I think we can deal with this one. What I don't want to face is what comes next."
- In the world of The Belgariad, resurrection in any form was impossible until the Orb Of Aldur was recovered.
- When Durnik, (aka 'The Man with Two Lives'), was killed by Zedar, the Gods conferred and agreed unanimously to allow his resurrection by Belgarion, Errand and the Orb at Polgara's pleading. He went from being an ordinary man, to being an immortal Sorcerer later proven capable of slam-dunking a DEMON LORD singlehandedly.
- Earlier in the series, Belgarion brings back a colt that died immediately after birth. The horse the colt grows into is supernaturally strong, able to translocate, apparently highly intelligent (well, for a horse, anyway), and quite probably immortal. Fitting, as he turns out to be fated to be the horse of a god. Belgareth and Polgara conclude that the only reason that Belgarion succeeded in resurrecting it was that he didn't know it was impossible. Well, that and doing it in a cave the Gods had used as a meeting place before they left the world.
- Trapped on Draconica: Dragokin Erowin can handle mooks. After dying and becoming an angel she can effortlessly No Sell the Big Bad's best shot.
- This is a belief of the followers of the Drowned God in A Song of Ice and Fire. "What is dead can never die, but rises again, harder and stronger." They invoke this in a baptism ceremony in which believers are "drowned" and revived through CPR. The most devout believers do this multiple times.
- The Last Dragon Chronicles: Agawin in The Fire Ascending after he absorbs Galen's tear. And again, when he 'dies' and becomes Alexa. Yes. Alexa.
- In Dragon Blood, Oreg comes back, after Ward killed him. Not only with stronger magic, he's also a dragon.
- Firefight: Megan Tarash. Most of the time, her Epic power allows her to bring shadows of other worlds into this one, which is mostly a roundabout way of making illusions. But right after she dies and her Resurrective Immortality kicks in, she is strong enough to make the shadows she brings through fully real, making her a straight-up Reality Warper. Unfortunately it's accompanied by partial memory loss and confusion, limiting its usefulness until she overcomes her weakness and the negative side effects disappear.
- In "The Stones Are Hatching", Alexia/Aisling, subtly. After he resurrection, her white hair turns red, her shadow and reflection are back, and her features are slightly different, implying that the damage done to her by studying dark magic has been repaired.

- "Hidden", Clark comes back from the dead with all his powers restored. But at what cost?
- In "Bizarro", Chloe's latent meteor power activates and resurrects herself.
- Buffy the Vampire Slayer:
- When Xander resuscitates Buffy from her death at the Master's hands, she comes back stronger, knows instinctively where he's going, and is no longer vulnerable to his hypnosis.
- She also seems to be stronger after her second death, given the way she pwned the leader of that demon gang (who tore off a vampire's head with his bare hands!).
- This is what happens in Kamen Rider 555 when someone is killed and revived as an Orphnoch.
- Kamen Rider Agito introduces Gills, who died of his powers breaking down his body but was revived by a psychic with healing abilities. The result not only cures him of his degrading body but grants him the power to become Exceed Gills.
- Gentaro Kisaragi, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Fourze, is killed in #31 by Kamen Rider Meteor (who made a Deal with the Devil with the Ares Zodiarts to save his best friend), only for Kengo to use the Cosmic Switch (which they hadn't been able to get to work before that) to revive him, giving him his Super Mode in the process.
- Kamen Rider Wizard:
- Phoenix, one of the Greater Phantoms is able to revive himself every time he is killed, just like the mythological bird he takes his name from. According to him, every time he is revived, he gets stronger.
- Subsequent episodes bear this claim out. He not only become immune to the same attack that killed him previously it takes more attacks of a similar level to take him out the next time, more resistant to all attacks in general and the time he takes to regenerate and recover become shorter and shorter each time. This ability ultimately means Haruto can't kill him and has to turn him into Sealed Evil in a Can by trapping him in the sun.
- Happens later with Dragon, Haruto's Inner Phantom and the source of his magic. The Legion Phantom enters Haruto's underworld and ends up destroying him in the resulting fight. Eventually, Dragon is brought Back from the Dead by Haruto's absolute refusal to give up hope no matter how heavily the odds are against him. This results in Dragon being able to grant Haruto access to Infinity Style and gives Dragon the power turn into the Axcalibur sword.
- In Charmed, when Cole arrives in the underworld, he finds that the souls of demons have their powers eaten by the creatures that live there. He decides to get in on that action, and collects enough powers to return to the land of the living, and with almost every demonic power there is. Unfortunately, it eventually drove him crazy, and he wanted to die, but couldn't.
- The Lord of the Rings example is parodied in Mystery Science Theater 3000, when TV's Frank is ushered into Second Banana Heaven by Torgo the White.
Frank: Hey, they fixed your knees!Torgo the White: ThErE aRe No BuM kNeEs In My WoRlD, cHiLd.Frank: How about your voice?Torgo the White: W...wHaT aBouT mY vOiCe?
- The six Million Dollar Man, is literally based on this trope "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better...stronger...faster."
- In Norse Mythology, Odin impaled himself on Yggdrasil and after he came back to life nine days later, he knew magic.
- Inuit mythology:
- Sedna is just an ordinary woman until her father chops off her fingers and throws her into the ocean. She becomes the goddess of the ocean, the most important goddess of the Inuit cosmology because it's only with her on their side that the people can avoid starvation. Her fingers turn into seals.
- Another version has her being thrown in the ocean first, followed by the chopping off of her fingers (which turn into seals), hands (which turn into walruses) and finally her arms (which turn into whales) to get her to stop clinging on to the boat.
- In Yoruban mythology and Santeria, Shango. He was an ordinary king until he hanged himself and became one of the most powerful (and popular) Orisha. His salute means "the king is not hanged".
Tabletop RPG
- In Anathema, players start the game by dying. They come back as basically the grim reaper on steroids.
- In Brave New World characters gain super powers by undergoing a near-death experience while in mortal danger.
- In the Pathfinder tabletop game, being born dead and then coming back to life is one of the possible origins of a sorcerer's powers.
- Geist The Sin Eaters: As mortals, Sin-Eaters typically have some sort of connection to fate or the world of the dead (represented by glimpses of ghosts or strange hunches). Once they die, however, a geist offers them the chance to come back, and when they accept, they gain access to a whole suite of powers.
- In order to become an Abyssal Exalted, you have to be on the exact verge of death at the time.
- Third Edition's Liminal Exalted are made when someone tries to bring someone Back from the Dead and attracts the gaze of a powerful entity in the Underworld, which imbues the corpse with new life and power. These newborn beings are not the people they were made of however, even if they have some of their memories.
- In Dungeons & Dragons, this is how the Risen Martyr Prestige Class works. A saintly character is temporarily resurrected after their martyrdom and given extra powers to complete their unfinished task.
- Warhammer 40,000 has at least two versions of this.
- The Sisters of Battle have their Holy Living Saints, revered fallen martyrs who return to the battlefield as miraculous glowing giant warrior of faith when called by their pious sisters to fight in the Holy God Emperor of All Mankind's name.
- The Space Marines have their Dreadnaughts. A doomed Space Marine, if deemed suitable, can be inserted/sealed in a "Combat Sarcophagus" which makes the Space Marine even deadlier in battle.
- Chuubo's Marvelous Wish-Granting Engine: in the Glass-Maker's Dragon campaign, playing "The Other One" - i.e. an OC rather than modifying one of the pregenerated characters - involves dying quite early on and coming back on a Miraculous Arc.
Video Games
- Zettai Hero Project: Unlosing Ranger vs. Darkdeath Evilman has this as one of the core mechanics. Every time you get killed, you lose the items you're carrying and get sent back to level 1, but your basic stats increased depending on your "total level earned", and stats boost you get from level up depends on your basic stats. As Pirohiko says, a hero always comes back from the brink of defeat to save the day!
- Mega Man X's Zero died the first game, was rebuilt in the interim, and came back with upgraded armor and weapons in the second game. A lesser version occurred with X5 and X6. He didn't get new armor, and the offensive boost was a tweaked Arm Cannon, but he did gain a Double Jump as a standard ability.
- Used in the Disgaea games. You level up, then you reincarnate into a new body that starts with better stats. The game more plays with this trope.
- Sonic the Hedgehog (2006) features the controversial kiss from Princess Elise that not only revives Sonic from dead-but-not-really-death but transforms him into Super Sonic for the final boss.
- BlazBlue: Ragna nearly bled to death after Terumi cut off his arm and burned down his home. Then he was bitten by a vampire and fused with the corpse of an Eldritch Abomination. This gave him the Azure Grimoire and Soul Eater powers which turned him into a One-Man Army. The bad news is that if he uses them too much, he will turn into the aforementioned Eldritch Abomination.
- Happens in Jade Empire when your Spirit Monk is killed by the main villain, then finds the last piece of the Dragon Amulet while fighting his/her way back from the spirit world.
- Warcraft series :
- Second generation Death Knights combine this trope with a bit of Came Back Wrong. Most Death Knights are already powerful Warriors or Paladins to begin with, but when they are raised they are imbued with powers over necromancy and disease, making them the Scourge's most powerful soldiers. This is less evident in World of Warcraft due to the obvious balance issues making Death Knights more powerful than the other classes would cause, but from a lore standpoint it remains true, even though it only translates into a higher starting level.
- In World of Warcraft Cataclysm's Rage of the Firelands patch, you confront Alysra and defeat her single-handedly in a quest. After you do so, some Druids of the Flame arrive, and revive her as a fire hawk, resulting in her flying off to the Firelands and becoming a much more difficult raid boss that requires 10-25 players to defeat.
- Ingvar the Plunderer in Utgarde Keep combines this with Trick Boss. After he's reanimated as an undead, his abilities become more powerful. Similarly, the Black Knight goes from being defeated alone in a quest to being a 5-man dungeon boss in Trial of the Champion. The Scourge had a habit of handing out this type of upgrade during their heyday.
- Fallout: New Vegas starts with your character getting their brains blown out and kicked into a shallow grave- and surviving. Depending on how you build your character (or perhaps even regardless of how), you will almost certainly be miles ahead of any NPC stat-wise. When you think about it, how many other couriers in the wasteland have cheated death, developed a skillset that ends up determining the fate of an entire region and its population, faces off against the worst mutations of the Wasteland (including Deathclaws, Cazadores and drugged-up raiders), demolished or deflected 1 or even 2 armies and getting vengeance on their would-be murderer in the middle of it all? Perhaps only Ulysses...
- Happens to the Big Bad of Final Fantasy II. The Emperor comes back to life as a lich king, having taken control of Hell and its legions. In Soul of Rebirth, his good side took over Heaven.
- In Final Fantasy IV this happens to a few bosses. When you kill the Earth Fiend Scarmiglione, he comes back as a zombie, attacking from behind or Dr. Lugae, he comes back as a cyborg.
- Final Fantasy VII's Big Bad Sephiroth was seemingly killed by Cloud years before the game begins, but his powerful will enabled him to resist being absorbed into The Lifestream and pull a Grand Theft Me on Jenova. Following his second death, he is resurrected in Advent Children, and Word Of God states that he had "ascended to a new level of existence" in the interim.
- This is how you beat Izanami in Persona 4, with a little help from The Power of Friendship.
- Before the events of Tsukihime, Tohno Shiki has the ability to see "things which are hidden". When he is killed and brought back to life, this mutates into the ability to see death, allowing him to cut anything by tracing its "lines of death" or destroy anything by stabbing its "point of death". This manages to be even more overpowered than it sounds, but Shiki has to wear Anti-Magic glasses to prevent going mad (besides the obvious reasons, just looking at a "very immortal" character for too long can cause brain damage).
- The Nameless One in Planescape: Torment sometimes regains memories after he dies and comes back, which can translate into more experience points, and hence more power.
- In Starcraft II, one mission against a Hybrid Monster named Maar has him repeatedly assaulting your small base. If you kill him, he keeps coming back, larger, with more hit points and a more powerful attack.
- Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey:
- The Tyrants you defeated in the first four sectors come back in new, terrifying forms in Sector 6, Fornax, but not before declaring a personal war on you, Captain Hello, Insert Name Here.
- Additionally, Commander Gore is killed very early into the mission. However, the forces of the Schwarzwelt bring him back as a puppet and an observer, in a type of zombie called Ubergestalt. When he shakes off control, he reveals that not only has he regained his humanity, but he now possesses supernatural abilities and superhuman traits. Not only does he go from a Sacrificial Lion to one of the most pain in the ass bosses in the game (in the routes you fight him on), but he also demonstrates the ability to see potential futures.
- In the Ogre Battle series (and Tactics Ogre games from the same universe) it's possible to resurrect your fallen units as undead. They have a weakness against enemy clerics, but are often much stronger then they were when they were alive. In Knight of Lodis it's possible to resurrect fallen knights as Angel Knights, one of the best classes in game, which isn't weak against holy.
- It could be said that Commander Shepard of Mass Effect 2 does this, as he/she is rendered clinically brain dead by the Collectors, then brought back by Cerberus with cybernetic enhancements, enabling Shepard to have Regenerating Health, Bullet Time for Soldiers using Adrenaline Rush, Infiltrators using sniper rifles, and Vanguards coming out of Charge, the ability (along with certain mercenary bosses) to wield weapons like the Claymore that normally break people's arms, and Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism based scarring.
- In Touhou 13: Ten Desires, Toyosatomimi no Miko wakes up from a sleep of over a thousand years to be the Final Boss of the game. While her judgment may have been impaired immediately after waking, her skill with danmaku wasn't.
- Red Savarin from Solatorobo says he feels better than ever after his brush with death. It eventually results in him being able to Trance and become extra-powerful when he feels the need to protect someone.
- Asura from Asura's Wrath, after dying once, comes back and can now utilize his Six Armed form (Which at one point was only usable with his daughter Mithra's Help) as well as newer, more powerful forms after it.
- In an ending from Marvel Vs. Capcom, Jin proceeds to destroy Onslaught's soul in a sacrificial attack. Suddenly, Ryu wonders when Jin will be coming back.
- In Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magick Obscura this is the result of sacrificing yourself to Velorien, the All-Father, after figuring out the riddle of the old gods.
- It seemed that Albert Wesker, the villain of first Resident Evil game, got a Karmic Death by the Tyrant's claw to the stomach, but, thanks to death-activated experimental virus he injected himself before, he returned as Umbrella's perfect creation: an unstoppable Lightning Bruiser retaining his human appearance and mind.
- In Wizard101 when Malistaire is brought back as a Lich by Morganthe, he is much more powerful than he was originally and he is completely invulnerable to attack and the only reason that the player is able to win the fight is the damage done to the battlefield while killing his minions causes the ground to break under him when he tries to finish the player off.
- In Devil Survivor, there are two fights against the vampire Kudlak. If he's killed in the first one, he gains a level boost for the second. If you kill him in the second battle, a sympathetic character is Killed Off for Real. [[note]]You're supposed to let Mari kill him, as she's currently under the effect of his Kryptonite Factor and can make him stay dead this time. She's present in the first battle too, but the 'kryptonite' is not.
- Pretty much the premise of [PROTOTYPE], Alex Mercer starts as a normal human but after dying, he falls onto the virus he had unleashed, gaining super strength, speed and becoming basically invincible. It turns out that he never did come back, The Virus took his form.
- In Knights of the Old Republic, Darth Malak expresses his disbelief that despite his betrayal leaving Revan half-dead and amnesiac one year earlier, he's not only rediscovered their training, but if returned to the light side, have somehow become even stronger than he ever was as a Sith.
- Knights of the Old Republic II: The game has an... Interesting take on this trope. The Exile is a former Jedi who has 'died' by losing all access to the Force and only regains it through a bond with Kreia, another former Jedi who has 'died' ideologically, twice. In Star Wars the Force pretty much is life/God, so to lose all access to it is a state most Force-sensitives would see as equivalent with death.
- A more minor version happens to Kyle Katarn in the Dark Forces Saga. His version only goes as far as giving up the Force, but the Big Bad believes that his time away has made him stronger.
- The Undead of Dark Souls I and Dark Souls II have this mixed with Came Back Wrong. On one hand, they gradually lose their memories and humanity until they turn into mindless Hollows. On the other hand, they're basically immortal, will not hollow until they have lost the will and purpose to continue, apparently have no need to eat, drink and sleep and have the potential to aquire, through the use of souls, physical and/or mental prowess well beyond human limits.
- Scar actually manages to do this twice in Kingdom Hearts II. During the first Pride Lands segment, Simba flings Scar off a cliff. Scar comes Back from the Dead as a Heartless with Elemental Powers. He retains his appearance and intelligence as he does so, something that only Xehanort had been able to do before. The second time, you go to the Pride Lands, he's psychologically tormenting Simba with shadowy avatars of himself, which combine into the Kaiju-sized Grroundshaker Heartless, which once again is only outsized by Xehanort's World of Chaos form. All that's left now is for his Nobody to show up and we'll be three for three.
- Tarnum of Heroes Chronicles. A ruthless Barbarian leader (though he didn't start out that way) engages in a Combat by Champion with King Rion Gryphonheart and loses. After getting to the Barbarian afterlife, he is denied passage by the Ancients, who send him back as an immortal, forced to forever walk Enroth (and later Axeoth) until he redeems himself enough to be allowed to join the Ancients. Throughout the different chapters, Tarnum becomes many things, from knight to mage, and tries to atone for his mistakes. At the end of the Barbarian campaign in Heroes Of Might and Magic IV, he finally succeeds (by helping another Barbarian to unite the tribes without becoming a tyrant) and chooses to stay instead of joining the Ancients.
- In Shin Megami Tensei IF, this is, in fact, the only way to get stronger. When you fall in battle, you'll gain a guardian demon who's strength is based on how many battles you've won without dying - when the current power curve begins to overtake you, dying again is the only way to surmount it.
- Street Fighter V sees the return of Charlie Nash, last seen blowing himself up to take down M. Bison and his Psycho Drive in Street Fighter Alpha 3. His first gameplay appearance shows that he had to have a lot of skin grafts in order to live but doing so also seems to have given him fantastic new abilities like a Flash Step that allows him to outrun his own Sonic Booms.
- In Sands of Destruction, Kyrie performs a Senseless Sacrifice in an attempt to stop himself from destroying the world (and killing Morte). After he's resurrected atop the Temple of Light, he's both physically and mentally stronger - physically because he gains a fiery red-headed battle transformation complete with glowing lion Battle Aura, and mentally because his death was Morte's Love Epiphany and her returned feelings give him confidence in his ability to change the world for the better.
- Scarecrow was a minor threat in Batman: Arkham Asylum, where his last scene was him nearly being mauled to death by Killer Croc. Unseen, he leaves hints at his survival throughout Batman: Arkham City, and that he plans to return for revenge on Batman who he blames for the attack. He does so with a vengeance as the Big Bad of Batman: Arkham Knight where he has stitched his own face back together, dropped his Large Ham persona for a Cold Ham Soft-Spoken Sadist one (with a strong, new dose of Magnificent Bastard to go with it), unites the villains of Gotham under his banner, unleashes destruction that not even The Joker could match, and ends up being the single most dangerous enemy that Batman has ever faced. In the process, he does what no villain in literally any piece of media has ever done: unmasks Batman in front of the world.
- Undertale has a brilliant example in Undyne if you are on a Genocide run. As you confront the Monster Kid who naively thinks you are a friend being a fellow child, now discovering you are actually the vicious murderer everyone told him about..you can take swing at him only for Undyne to take the mortal blow for him, before sending him again with a brave face. As she starts to fade away she instead thinks about everyone at stake from your evil actions, monsters and even humans she hates, everything in the world. These motivations fuel her immense willpower and determination, causing her to be reborn as Undyne the Undying, a FAR harder boss than anything you've faced so far. Even though she is an enemy and looks quite intimidating, YOU are the force of evil and she is the true heroine standing against you. She even has a unique boss theme for this occasion and is the only boss in the entire run that is capable of surviving more than one of your connected attacks...
- Medievil: In life, Sir Daniel Fortesque was a heroic knight who-... Actually, wait, no he wasn't. He was a limp-wristed charlatan who only got to be the king's champion by talking up his reputation, only to be killed ignominiously when the real fighting started. Everyone who knows the truth about Fortesque's not-so-gallant life and death is quick to mock his inadequacies, but in undeath, he's a pretty decent fighter and with a little guidance from the player, more than capable of thwarting Zarok's plans and living up to the legend, no lies this time.
Web Comics
- In Ava's Demon, the titular character forms a pact with Wrathia in order to do this.
- In El Goonish Shive, the very first antagonist, the Goo, came back as the Omega Goo in the second arc complete with abilities related to the way it was defeated the first time.
- In FreakAngels, all the titular characters have regenerative immortality and sustaining normally fatal injuries expands their already formidable Psychic Powers. Though they don't realize that until Luke gets back up after taking a bullet through the brain, previously they didn't realize that Arkady was more powerful than the rest of them following her overdose (she was rather spacey until she died again by drowning) and Mark didn't realize he had died. Then Connor shot himself to trigger the "upgrade" and gave it to the rest of them.
- In Homestuck, dying upon a Quest Bed ascends players of Sburb to the God Tiers, a tier of power beyond the standard levels which grants the player immense power over their elemental aspect, together with conditional immortality. Thirteen characters have done this: John, Rose, Dave, Jade, Vriska, Aradia, Aranea, Meenah, Jane, Jake, Dirk, Roxy and Caliborn/Lord English.
- Kanaya mysteriously came back as a Rainbow Drinker. It was originally implied Doc Scratch groomed her for this transformation, but later Doing In the Wizard explained this as a trait of the jadeblood caste.
- In The Order of the Stick, during his stay on the Mountain, Roy defeated an evil adventuring party with his dead grandpa, who later trained him in a sword move that can potentially one-shot a high-level spellcaster. He can't actually use it until he purchases the related feat, but when he returns to the living he says he has "this awesome idea for a cool sword move."
- In Our Little Adventure, Jane came back to help her friends as a ghost. Her ghost powers included some nifty new attacks.
- At one point in Schlock Mercenary, Kevyn Andreysan unknowingly has Project Laz'r'us blood nanites in him. They bring him back from the dead (or clinical death, at least) twice—on the second time, Kevyn authorizes an "aggressive reconstruction" that augments his body into a nigh-unstoppable killing machine.
- Zebra Girl references Lord of the Rings by name when evil wizard Harold Duvase kills Jack and he returns to life moments later, much more powerful and calls it "pulling a Gandalf."
Web Original
- The Dragon Ball Z example is played with in Dragon Ball Z Abridged after Dende first heals Krillin and Gohan.
Vegeta: Unlike the runt [Gohan] and I, you don't get a power boost from it.
Krillin: HAX!!! I CALL HAX!!!
- Team Four Star also speculate that this applies to Saiyan sperm cells, and point out that Goten was born after Goku took an apocalyptic punch to the nuts from Super 13.
Western Animation
- Invader Zim had an episode featuring a plot by Zim to do in Dib with time traveling stuffed pigs. It was actually working at first, but just at the point where Dib was almost finished off, the timestream apparently had enough of that premise and started transforming Dib into a massive cyborg murder ninja.
- Parodied on South Park in which Cartman throws himself off a roof in a poorly-planned attempt to fly and wakes up from a coma in the hospital, and the cops who have the Idiot Ball believe he has precognition. Kyle later does the same thing at the end of the episode so people will believe him about the serial killer's identity and Cartman's uselessness. Eerily, the lights flicker violently when Kyle gets frustrated.
- Played With in the series finale to the original Transformers series when Optimus Prime is brought back to life In Its Hour of Need and promptly rebuilt as a Chrome Champion to defeat the Hate Plague.
- In the movie, the nearly-dead Megatron is thrown into space after his and Prime's final battle. Then he encounters Unicron and is reformatted into Galvatron, gaining power great enough to kill a Transformer and blow up planets with one shot.
- The season two opener for Beast Wars ends with Optimus Primal coming back from the dead, complete with a Mid-Season Upgrade. He sweeps in and singlehandedly drives off the Predacon army.
- Tarantulas ended the first season as essentially a passenger in Blackarachnia's body, leaving his own body unoccupied and lifeless. By the time he gets it back, the quantum surge has upgraded it to Transmetal.
- Blackarachnia nearly kills herself trying to upgrade with the Transmetal driver, and died during the attempts to repair her, at which point the driver resurrected her as a Transmetal 2.
- Octus was killed in episode 18 of Sym-Bionic Titan and remained that way through episode 19. Octus is revived in episode 20 by the leader of G3. While he himself hasn't been shown to have become stronger, the Titan gets an upgrade as a result, gaining powerful energy beams and is generally overall stronger. Lance even comments that it's stronger than before.
- Colonel H. Stinkmeaner from The Boondocks was just an annoying, foul-mouthed old blind guy, who got his ass whooped, and died as a result. Come Season 2, we find out he's been spending his time in Hell turning himself into a kung fu ass-kicker. When he gets sent back to Earth via possessing Tom Dubois, he mops the floor with the Freemans.
- Optimus Prime of Transformers Prime spent the start of the third season critically injured and slowly dying until Smokescreen used the power of the Forge of Solus Prime to fix him. He comes back in a new, stronger body, and has gained the ability to fly.
- Megatron would eventually do the same in the Grand Finale movie Predacons Rising thanks to Unicron possessing his body due to the Dark Energon within, gaining a larger, spikier body with a Faster Than Light capability alt form, dark energy weapons, and the ability to raise an army of Terrorcons. He's so strong in fact that not even Predaking can beat him now, but thankfully being enslaved and tortured by Unicorn throughout the ordeal soured him to the idea of conquering anyone else and he leaves Cybertron without a fight after being freed from Unicorn's taint. Also, it's not clear exactly how many of those powers he kept afterwards.

Claudio Pinchi: I really don't understand all these complaints about DOF of M43. I recently bought a GH2 and (among others) the Leica Summilux 25 f1,4 and I can honestly say that DOF and bokeh are absolutely first quality, also compared to the same lens on my 5D (Canon ef 50 f1,4). Seems that many people ignore that DOF is influenced not only from aperture but also distance from subject. I will not buy these new lenses probably... but honestly who can say a 24-70 f2,8 is not an interesting lens? Kit lens in m43 is really poor in quality. People that look for more image quality (at the expense of portability) will surely buy this zoom. What make IMHO m43 still a little lower step to DSLR is the small choice of high level lens. If I look to the shots of my GH2 compared with ones took with DSLR with APS sensor and standard lens... i can say... NO GAME! The small m43 lens make more simple to reach high optical quality.
P.S: i beg your pardon for my poor english ;-)
There are no _equivalent_ 4/3 lenses to a 24-70/2.8 - this would be a 12-35/1.4.
Otherwise, I agree, horses for courses, just make sure to compare properly.
Equivalence is not pedantry. It accurately predicts the behaviour of lenses regarding light transmission, angle of view and DOF. These are crucial ingredients to a photo and calling this pedantry is wrong.
If you find DOF too shallow, that is your right, but you are in no position to decide for anyone but yourself.
The lens does not change. That is correct. But you know how people talk about that a 12mm lens on FT behaves like a 24mm lens behaves on FF? Okay, the same physical formula needs to be applied to the f/#. The same formula can also be used to say how one and the same lens behaves if attached to different sensor sizes (assuming it covers that sensor size).
Larry: Your corrected post is #umm# correct!
fenceSitter: F2.8 on an m43 camera doesn't sound like "large aperture" to me, as far as Bokeh is concerned. If I'm not mistaken, it will be the same as with a F5.6 lens on a Nikon D700.
Comparing to FF is not odd or flawed.
If the prices stay as announced, the FT f/2.8 lens is more expensive than a "FF" f/4.0 (or f/5.6) lens that has better (or the same) DOF control due to the larger (or same) physical aperture diameter.
Just because primes generally offer more DOF control does not invalidate that people also want DOF control from their zooms - or else we would all run around with f/11+ zooms...
Jens_G: Meh. That 12-35/2.8 is basically equivalent to the Nex kit lens. It has the same physical aperture as a f/3.5 on APS.
Actually, the physical aperture (=diameter) of 12/2.8 on FT and 16/3.6 on APS-C are the same. The F-number is different, though (obviously).
Claudio Pinchi: I really don't understand all these complaints about DOF of M43. I recently bought a GH2 and (among others) the Leica Summilux 25 f1,4 and I can honestly say that DOF and bokeh are absolutely first quality, also compared to the same lens on my 5D (Canon ef 50 f1,4).

This is not a 24-70/2.8 lens. This is a 12-35/2.8 lens, that behaves like a 24-70/5.6 would on "FF".
And of course position influences DOF, but for a correct comparison you need to maintain the position and hence perspective - otherwise you are not comparing the same things.
Sabatia: This is exactly one of the directions Pana needs to go to have a fuller system. If the lenses are as fast as 2.8, sharp, and with high color resolution, that would be almost perfect. Having sold all my Canon gear this fall, the two lenses I miss most are the 17-55 EFS 2.8 and the 70-200 f4 L, which between them probably took 75% of my favorite shots over the last dozen years. I suspect that I am not alone in terms of 30/40/50/7D shooters in loving these lenses. So Yeah! Now get them done, glitch-free, and into the stores. And if the 35-100 is f4, but smaller and lighter than the Canon f4, I will be still be very happy.
Canon's comparable lenses at 2.8 cost $1,000 and over $2,000 or $1,400 for the 70-200 f4 IS. I think if Pana can get these out at $1k to $1,200 they will be winners.
PS: While the aperture size on m4/3 will cause loss of a little depth of field compared to crop cameras and more to FF, the brightness is not similarly affected.
12/2.8 on fourthirds is equivalent to 24/5.6 on "FF": Same DOF, same number of photons per second.
Wow, RGB curves, finally! Highlight recovery with (seemingly) much less colour skewing! Geotagging with track import! I might have to abandon XP after all this time.
PS: Good review, thanks.
jjmiphoto: This is too much iOS love, you left out Paper Camera, an awesome Android app that makes lots of awesome looking images.
Hi Simon,
JJ and odoketa pointed out the very strong focus on iOS. JJ merely suggested one Android app.
I think a more specific reply from dpreview could have explained why you looked at 10 iOS apps and 1 Android app - surely you had a good reason for that imbalance. Is it market share? I don't know, I don't have a "smart"phone. Maybe titling this "an overview of lo-fi iPhone apps" would have created fewer false hopes.
tkbslc: "The world's fastest interchangeable camera lens with APS-C coverage in this focal length"
Pretty easy when you use a non-standard focal length like 23mm! :) However, there are multiple 24mm f1.4 lenses out there. I'd almost suspect it is really a 24mm that they labeled as 23mm for marketing purposes.
Francis, you might want to check the Rodenstock first, before getting all haha:
That monster is an ultrawide lens for the 645 format and could probably sink an iceberg.
Magnus W: The GXR is such a great concept! A camera with a swappable camera. Wonder why no one thought of this before.
Some people have a broken sarcasm detector.
obeythebeagle: Looks suspiciously like the classic Leitz 50mm M-series Summicron.
No, the "standard" cropped 645 format does not let in more light and DOF is not more shallow than "FF". Uncropped 645 comes close to FF, but is much more expensive, much more bulky and much slower. If shallow DOF and capturing as many photons as possible per time is what you are interested in, then nothing beats FF in bang for the buck.
This is not due to physics, but due to the available lenses for 645 - that's why FF wins out.
I'm lucky in that I have several cameras with different sensor formats, so I can pick the most suited system to whatever I do.
obeythebeagle: Looks suspiciously like the classic Leitz 50mm M-series Summicron.
A 24/2.8 on the D700 is easily available and lets in more photons per second for the same angle of view. This equates to more shallow DOF, too. Minimum focus distance of Nikon's 24/2.8 is worse, at 12".
However, the Sigma 24/1.8 comes to mind - but that will be a bit larger. Given the ease of operation of the AF/AE lens on the D700 compared to the all manual "SLR Magic" lens, this might be the better compromise.
deletedGregR1: ok, so in that physical size and with a constant f/2, the lens is obviously a really wide-angle piece. and with a wide angle, even at f/2, nearly everything is in focus anyways. just look at their sample pics - HUGE depth of field, especially evident in the golfer pic. i wouldn't be surprised if they cheaped out and simply shot an image at f/8 and then "defocus" in software. hmm, i smell something only slightly more legit than a scam.
Greg: it is "280mm equivalent" but not "f/2 equivalent" - simply f/2.
If we go with the front element of 35mm diameter and f/2, we get a focal length of 70mm. Meaning a crop factor of 4 to reach "280mm equivalent". The 70/2 lens will thus behave like a 280/8 on FF would. Not too bad. I do however think that this overestimates the sensor size. If you look at zoom lenses ending at about 300mm equivalent, you will notice that they are actually slower than focal length divided by front element diameter. The crop factor will therefore probably be larger than 4.
Mistake in preview:
In the "Compared to the Samsung NX100" the small product shots are identical for NX100 and NX200.
> for all intensive purposes
This should be "for/to all intents and purposes".
Also, the link at the top is to the proper test of waterproof cameras but the text says "Click here to read our group test of travel zoom compact cameras" - which probably was carried over from a previous test.
Humboldt Jim: Putting a 4/3 mount on this lens seems a bit silly. Why a big, heavy, complex and expensive "normal" lens on a 4/3 camera? An f 1.4 24 mm lens for 4/3 can be simpler, lighter, less expensive and perform just as well.
Buying an SLR version and an adapter probably makes more sense for owners of mirrorless cameras. Resale value, flexibility.
2manyCameraz: The Pentax brand is in no danger. Only Sony had the EGO problems big enough to nix the multigenerational brand power Minolta & Konica carried. I imagine it all started in the mailroom of Minolta, where Sony's future president vowed to destroy them... and there was also a beautiful receptionist, whose heart belonged to another.
Exx: Ricoh also only buys the camera division, Pentax medical and other parts still belong to Hoya.
(Not sure what arrangement Konica-Minolta had - maybe Sony really had to change the name.)
Derek Bach: My understanding was Hoya have been manufcturing Pentax lenses for some time - how will this change? Also, Pentax have been using Sony image sensors in most recent cameras as have Ricoh whats left?
This is incorrect. Hoya provides glass to all major lens and filter makers, they do not "manufacture lenses", though.
Both companies have a thing for unusual concepts in cameras and user interfaces, but usually with the photographer as the first priority. Probably a good pairing - not sure how the finances will pan out - but we'll see...
I've never seen a sensor looking so lost behind a mount...
Raphael Mabo: I believe this will attract lovers of Lomo, taken lomography into the digital world.
I'd rather put a toy lens onto a Nex or 4/3 for less money with the option to get SLR-like quality with the same camera when I want.

Episode 01 – The Founder's Dilemma.
September 17, 2013 12:03 by kippreport
By Catalin Cighi, managing partner at Cain Hospitality Innovation (CHI)
Call me Cain. I currently own two businesses and I'm invested in several ventures without equity. In most cases, my strategy is clear. I know where I am, where I am going and why. But when it comes to my first company, I face a dilemma that I have yet to overcome.
You see, this first company of mine is a bit of a love affair. It is the reason why I became an entrepreneur. It is the embodiment of principles and ideas accumulated over many years as a strategy consultant. It's that thing I finally got to do after I claimed my independence.
Sounds perfect, right? Well, in many ways it is. Except one.
This enterprise, structured solely for the purpose of making me happy, is utterly dependent on my own involvement – it's not really scalable and certainly not sellable. It is like a jealous partner who claims my entire time and undivided attention. She will accept no less.
This was okay in the beginning. For several years, my experience as an entrepreneur was blissful. With nobody to care for but myself and with my material needs being modest, I could afford to only pursue projects that interested me.
Sometimes I flew high.
My clients included individuals from the ruling elite in the Middle East and companies I was proud to be associated with. My pattern was to approach them with ideas of how their business model could take the next evolutionary leap. Yes, it took several months to hook a client and then several others to reel a project in, but a single fee would cover my needs for one or two years – and so it went for a while.
Other times I crashed spectacularly.
Relying on one client at a time comes at a cost. I thought my approach was nothing less than a return to the old way of doing business. I entertained idealistic visions of two people shaking hands and proceeding to build something great, something that mattered.
The antidote to my hopeless romanticism was brutal. One client implemented my strategy and then proceeded to withhold final payment indefinitely. Calls unanswered, emails ignored and face-to-face meetings that invariably ended with the assurance that a bank transfer would happen that very same evening. It never did – and it took me months to recover.
If life stood still and personal circumstances did not change, I would have probably continued in the same manner, enjoying the freedom to pursue any interest at a moment's notice. But it didn't. I met a girl and one thing led to another.
If you don't already know what I mean, hear me out, fellow entrepreneur.
A moment will come when you realise that all of your furniture is ugly and must go, that your wardrobe does not deserve the name and what you thought was a pretty good life is actually the irresponsible romping about of an economic vagabond.
It's quite strange how a mindset can change when concerns about the future become a factor. When the here and now is not enough anymore and your choices no longer affect just you.
You've probably guessed by now that economic ups and downs are not the healthiest ingredients in a relationship. Actually, even sustained ups are not enough, simply due to the element of uncertainty. The talk of raising children is not entirely compatible with the impulse of rushing off to explore whatever latest scribbling you just made on the back of a napkin.
So, in the coming months, many things will have to change.
Change requires that I rethink my business model for a strategy company focused on business model innovation; that I explore ways to remove myself from the epicentre of my company; that I somehow transform my unique decision-making framework into a process I can teach others, allowing me to target several customers at the same time and be able to deliver, whether I am personally involved or not. Then scaling becomes possible and, eventually, the option to sell. Not that I would actually do that.
All of this was unthinkable just months ago, when I was happy to own a company built on passion that provided me with the opportunity to be self-employed, independent and conduct business according to my own set of principles.
A change in my life requires that I rethink my priorities and my approach towards business. I have given myself two years to achieve a transformation. I have also accepted to document what follows in a monthly column that will read as my entrepreneurial diary.
And as I invite you to join me in this adventure, I ask you to allow me a last moment of utter, unrestrained geekiness:
Entrepreneurship, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the Cain enterprise. Her two-year mission: to explore our strange changing world, to seek out new business models and new partnerships, to boldly create what no one has created before.

This past Saturday (November 1) the Federal Point Historic Preservation Society held its annual Barbeque fundraiser. Though it never dawned on us that the early voting lines would snake around Town Hall ALL DAY it surely made our event a spectacular success! We absolutely sold out of barbeque and provided drinks, sustenance, and bathrooms to the hordes waiting to do their civic duty.
It really was great "Down East" style barbeque, just spicy enough to make it savory smoked flavor and lived up to its reputation again this year. Bowman's-at-the-Beach donated all the slaw and hush puppies we needed. (THANK YOU BOWMAN'S!) while members Cheri McNeill, Annette Winner, Paul Slebodnik, Billy Debnan and Jackie Wiebe donated desserts to be sold along with the dinner plates. The day of the event we had a great turnout of volunteers and want to especially commend Cherie McNeill, Annette Winner, Kay Stains, Paul Slebodnik, Robert Bright, Gerald Bright and Pat Bolander for pitching in and keeping us going under during the onslaught.
A special commendation goes out to Darlene and Leslie Bright without whom this annual event couldn't be the success it is every year. It's Leslie's special "way with the pig" that keeps people coming back each year and Darlene's "executive skills" that mean we have everything we need AND we make a profit. They both put a huge amount of time into the planning and execution of the event, and as always; led, cajoled, and pushed us through another successful fund raiser.
Thanks as well, to the Island Gazette staff who make sure word about all of our programs and events are included in the paper in a prominent and timely manner. Their support is invaluable to us and all the non-profit organizations on the Island and we don't say thank-you often enough.
We welcome everyone in the community to attend our meetings held on the 3rd Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at the Federal Point History Center just southwest of the Carolina Beach Town Hall. And do stop by the Federal Point History Center to see how your donations are being used. We're now open Tuesdays from 12-4 and Friday and Saturday from 10-4.

Celebrating Our Stories: Filipino in Hawai'i
This weekend, Hawai'i's Filipino community holds its biggest event of the year, the Filipino Fiesta, now celebrating its 20th anniversary. HPR's Noe Tanigawa continues a series on local Filipino culture with a look at social mobility.
The 20th Annual Filipino Fiesta begins with a parade at 9am from Fort DeRussy through Waikiki with the festival continuing at Kapi'olani Park until 5pm. Expect a lot of food and entertainment!
The UH Manoa Ilocano Language Program and the Nakem Youth lauched a book last year, "Panagtaripato: Parenting our stories and our stories as parents". It is a book about raising healthy children using the traditions of the Ilokano people.
"Kabambannuagan: our voices, our lives" presents stories from Ilokano youth in Hawaii, growing up with all the struggles and joys. Both books are bilingual in Ilokano and English. Get them through Aurelio Agcaoili or Jeffrey Acido in the Indo-Pacific Languages department at UH Manoa.
Roderick N. Labrador and Theodore S. Gonzalves collaborated on a book of photographs as part of the Images of America series: "Filipinos in Hawai'i" , available through your favorite booksellers.

Under the federal health care overhaul, states have the option to expand Medicaid, the health insurance program for the poor. More than one million people would become eligible for Medi-Cal, California's version of the program. Last week, both houses of the legislature passed bills to approve the expansion but with more benefits than the governor wants to offer. Gov. Brown wants to exclude long-term care benefits for the disabled and also shift certain AIDS and cancer patients into the state run exchange.

Article: ChemInform Abstract: Excess Substrate Is a Spectator Ligand in a Rhodium-Catalyzed Asymmetric [2 + 2 + 2] Cycloaddition of Alkenyl Isocyanates with Tolanes[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Excess substrate has been identified as an unintended spectator ligand affecting enantioselectivity in the [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of alkenyl isocyanates with tolanes. Replacement of excess substrate with an exogenous additive affords products with consistent and higher ee's. The increase in enantioselectivity is the result of a change in composition of a proposed rhodium(III) intermediate on the catalytic cycle. The net result is a rational probe of a short-lived rhodium(III) intermediate and gives insight that may have applications in many rhodium-catalyzed reactions.
Article: Enantioselective Rhodium-Catalyzed [2+2+2] Cycloadditions of Terminal Alkynes and Alkenyl Isocyanates: Mechanistic Insights Lead to a Unified Model that Rationalizes Product Selectivity[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This manuscript describes the development and scope of the asymmetric rhodium-catalyzed [2 + 2 + 2] cycloaddition of terminal alkynes and alkenyl isocyanates leading to the formation of indolizidine and quinolizidine scaffolds. The use of phosphoramidite ligands proved crucial for avoiding competitive terminal alkyne dimerization. Both aliphatic and aromatic terminal alkynes participate well, with product selectivity a function of both the steric and electronic character of the alkyne. Manipulation of the phosphoramidite ligand leads to tuning of enantio- and product selectivity, with a complete turnover in product selectivity seen with aliphatic alkynes when moving from Taddol-based to biphenol-based phosphoramidites. Terminal and 1,1-disubstituted olefins are tolerated with nearly equal efficacy. Examination of a series of competition experiments in combination with analysis of reaction outcome shed considerable light on the operative catalytic cycle. Through a detailed study of a series of X-ray structures of rhodium(cod)chloride/phosphoramidite complexes, we have formulated a mechanistic hypothesis that rationalizes the observed product selectivity.

Cinecycle: It's Your Ride
Directed by Daniel Leeb and commissioned by Hutchinson tires, the short film It's Your Ride features cyclist and city dwellers Alfred Bobe Jr. and Fatimah Durkee, who amidst the chaos of the concrete jungle have created a private and peaceful psychological space as they traverse the streets. The film's gorgeous cinematography and simple storyline speaks to the harmony with one's environment that can be found while riding a bicycle in a city and the synchronistic connection we can have with those we have not even met.
