* ''TabletopGame/MagicTheGathering'': The Phyrexians are constantly improving upon their [[CannonFodder mechanical fighters]], and they [[HordeOfAlienLocusts recycle the flesh of fallen enemies to create new soldiers]] (called ''newts''). 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.
** ''ComicBook/TheDeathOfSuperman'': It's revealed that Doomsday has this as a superpower: he revives and evolves immune to anything that killed him before.

* 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.
