* ''[[ComicBook/{{XMen}} X-Men]]'': in 1993 crossover ''Fatal Atractions'', Magneto (Erik Magnus Lensherr) suffers a mindwipe by his friend/enemy Professor X and becomes catatonic. For the most of the '90s X-titles, Magnus is down for the count as far as X-Big Bads go. A RedHerring appears in 1996, with Joseph, at first thought to be a younger version of Magnus, [[spoiler:but later revealed to be a clone]], but he only reappears with a bang with 1998's crossover ''Magneto War''. In the meantime, the X-titles contend with the alien Phalanx (in 1994's ''Phalanx Covenant''), Apocalypse (in 1995's ''Age of Apocalypse''), Onslaught (in 1996) and Bastion/Operation: Zero Tolerance (in 1997).

Dukat first appeared in the pilot episode and was the de-facto BigBad of season 1, which mostly had VillainOfTheWeek stories, and was a recurring villain throughout the seasons 2 and 3. In season 4 he was eclipsed by the [[TheEmpire Dominion]] and went through a quasi HeelFaceTurn, but midway through season 5 he joins up with the Dominion and becomes TheHeavy of the Dominion War arc, even capturing the titular station. After being defeated be again becomes a recurring villain until the end of season 6, where he starts worshipping the [[LegionsOfHell Pah-wraiths]]. He is one of the two main villains of season 7, alongside the Female Changeling, culminating in him becoming TheAntiChrist. He is the last villain to be defeated in the show, dying in a duel with [[TheHero Sisko]] in the last few minutes of the finale.

Note that the villain has to be returning as the main villain after a period of absence to apply. If they return to serve as a minion of the new Big Bad, that's DemotedToDragon, though the two may overlap if the villain [[DragonAscendant successfully takes over as the Big Bad]]. Compare HijackedByGanon, where an old villain is revealed to be behind a new one. Contrast ExBigBad, where a former Big Bad reappears but no longer as the main threat. Not to be confused with OverarchingVillain, where the villain is around for the majority of the story, though can overlap if the Big Bad returns often enough. Compare DragonAscendant, where a former minion of a previous Big Bad takes their place later on. A SuperTrope to VillainOnLeave, a more specific trope when villains skip an installment of their franchise before coming back.
