* A variant and proxy example in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII''. When Sora "[[FromACertainPointOfView died]]" at the end of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'', Ansem the Wise (under the name [=DiZ=]) agreed to help Naminé and Riku revive him. However, Ansem wanted to use the reanimated Sora for revenge against Organization XIII, especially against their leader Xemnas. Things don't go as planned; Sora [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance eventually]] comes to sympathize with most of the Organization, Riku abandons Ansem when he learns the truth, and even Ansem himself admits his mistakes in the end and becomes TheAtoner.

* In ''Literature/TheDarkHunters'', this is the way the Goddess Artemis gains the titular warriors who work for her in the fight against the SoulEating Daimons. After a person dies, at the moment of there death they can make a call to her so that they can return to life as an extremely powerful and immortal supernatural being. They can then kill the person who wronged or killed them. In return for this, they become Dark hunters who then help her to protect humanity.

* [[spoiler:Catelyn Stark]] from ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'' is resurrected at the end of the third book after being murdered along with most of her family in a massacre called the Red Wedding.

* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'': In the episode "[[Recap/SupernaturalS05E16DarkSideOfTheMoon Dark Side of the Moon]]", two other hunters kill Sam for inadvertently starting the Apocalype, then his brother Dean so he won't be gunning after them the rest of his life. He tells them point blank it won't work (because of their own vital role in the battle between heaven and hell, the Winchesters have a limitless resurrection voucher).

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', 1st Edition AD&D Fiend Folio. Certain exceptional characters have a chance of coming back from death as a revenant (a type of undead) to gain revenge on their killer(s). The revenant will ceaselessly track down the creatures that killed it and slay them without mercy. Once it has completed its task it will disintegrate.
* ''TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms'': 3rd Edition. supplement ''Faiths and Pantheons''. A ''zin-carla'' is a type of undead created by a priestess of the drow {{Top God}}dess Lolth, whereby the spirit of the subject is forcibly returned to its body to carry out a task imposed by the priestess. If the creator loses control of the zin-carla for any reason, it will become a free-willed undead that will seek only vengeance against its creator and will crumble to dust if it succeeds in killing her.

* ''VideoGame/LegacyOfKain'': Both Kain and Raziel are resurrected and manipulated by Mortanius the Necromancer and the Elder God respectively to take revenge on those who killed them. [[spoiler: As it turns out, [[WellIntentionedExtremist Mortanius]] had good reason for doing so, while the [[ItsAllAboutMe Elder God]] didn't.]]

** Sigma gets increasingly obsessed with revenge on X and Zero every time they kill him. Though part of it is that Sigma acknowledges the two of them as the ones who foiled his plans a lot, so that he wants them dead to ensure his real plan (creating a world for robots) can go smoothly.
** Vile gets resurrected by [[BigBad Dr. Doppler]] in ''VideoGame/MegaManX3'' to [[ResurrectedForAJob capture X to be studied]] but makes it clear he's got a score to settle and is going to kill X no matter what, which Doppler is begrudgingly okay with so long as he gets it done. When he's destroyed a second time, he vows to come back ([[VideoGame/MegaManX8 which he does]]) for revenge again and again:

* In ''[[Franchise/AceAttorney Phoenix Wright - Ace Attorney: Trials And Tribulations]]'', [[spoiler:one of the two antagonists (although not the culprit) of the final case is [[BitchInSheepsClothing Dahlia Hawthorne]], the same woman Mia Fey successfully proved guilty of murder in the first (though [[AnachronicOrder second chronologically]]) flashback case -- she was sent to the gallows and hanged for her crime. Since Mia is now dead as well, which means that Dahlia has no way of getting revenge on her directly, she agrees to Morgan Fey's plan to get Pearl Fey to channel her spirit, upon which she would murder Mia's younger sister Maya. Their mother Misty Fey discovered the plot and got Maya to channel Dahlia's spirit herself to prevent Dahlia from [[HiddenInPlainSight finding her]].]]
