** A strange case happened in ''VideoGame/MarioKartWii'''s online play when Nintendo started getting serious about crackdowns on cheaters, mostly going after those who used infinite spawns of particular items. This caused there to be more and more people who cheated in this way. The more Nintendo tried to catch the cheaters, the more of them there were until, at its worst, there were more {{Griefer}}s than regular players. When Nintendo backed off and left everybody alone, the griefers all vanished, leaving online play the same as it was before. To this day, no one really knows where all the cheaters came from -- whether they were just trolls who wanted to ruin it for everyone or people who just didn't like being told what to do is up for debate.
* The Pirate Bay, sink a pirate ship, two more shall rise from under the water, no matter how many times the site gets shut down, it never goes down permanently, it's incredibly easy to put the site back up again.

*** In 2024 Nintendo forced Yuzu into shuttering its emulator project for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch Switch]] which the company deemed as having facilitated piracy (the Yuzu team tweeting that they were able to boot the then-upcoming ''VideoGame/LegendOfZeldaTearsOfTheKingdom'' days before its official release certainly didn't help, as was their Patreon page where they earned millions from donations). Unsurprisingly, Yuzu's open-source nature spawned not just one but several forks which aim to pick up where the original emulator team left off.
* The Pirate Bay, sink Bay--sink a pirate ship, two more shall rise from under the water, no matter how many times the site gets shut down, it never goes down permanently, and it's incredibly easy to put the site back up again.again. The decentralised nature of [=BitTorrent=] certainly helps, unlike earlier protocols such as Napster which relied on a central server for indexing. While [=BitTorrent=] does rely on tracker sites which can be vulnerable to law enforcement action, there are ways around this such as the use of DHT (distributed hash tables) which sort of acts as its own tracker and communicates with other DHT nodes, thereby negating the need for a tracker site.
** Same goes for Gnutella, another decentralised peer-to-peer file sharing protocol. While [=LimeWire=] was forced to shut down due to legal pressure by the RIAA, this only affected [=LimeWire=] as it only served as a ''client'' to connect to other users on the Gnutella network. The shutdown prompted third parties to fork the project, the most notable being [=WireShare=], which was initially known as [=LimeWire=] Pirate Edition until the former [=LimeWire=] team filed a cease and desist against the team responsible for the Pirate Edition fork.

* In ''MarvelSnap'', Arnim Zola references the famous HYDRA motto both in one of his voice lines and in his effect - he destroys an allied card and creates two copies in the other locations. The Sentinel Nimrod is a more direct example, as if it's destroyed it spawns two more. And yes, if one of ''those'' is destroyed, it also spawns two more.
