* ''ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogArchieComics'': In ''#200'', Eggman is seemingly defeated for good, and mentally breaks down after too many defeats at the hands of Sonic. After several issues of Eggman being locked in asylum, he slowly starts to regain his sanity, and after many more issues of the Freedom Fighters facing various different threats, Eggman finally returns in ''#224'' to reclaim his role as the main villain.
* ''ComicBook/DarkEmpire'': Emperor Palpatine is BackFromTheDead in clone bodies while still commanding a large military, and he has more super-weapons than ever before.
* ''[[ComicBook/{{SpiderMan}} Spider-Man]]'':
** [[Characters/MarvelComicsOttoOctavius Doctor Octopus]] is a mainstay in Spider-Man's Rogue Gallery since his first appearance in the 1960s, recurring as a Big Bad in the 60s and 70s. Some of its major recurring appearances include:
*** Founding of the Sinister Six ("Amazing Spider-Man Annual" #1, 1964): he is the mastermind behind the joining of forces of Spider-Man's then major villains: Sandman, Vulture, Mysterio, Electro and Kraven the Hunter. He still leads new incarnations of the Sinister Six decades later in two 1990s storylines, in ''Return of the Sinister Six'' (ASM #334-339) and ''Revenge of the Sinister Six'' ("Spider-Man" #18-23), and ''Ends of the Earth'' (ASM #682-687) in 2012.
*** ''The Master Planner Trilogy'' or ''If This Be My Destiny...!'' (ASM #31-33): Dr. Octopus takes on the moniker of "Master Planner", commiting heists of technological equipment.
*** The Owl vs. Octopus War ("Spectacular Spider-Man" #72-76): in the early 1980s, Dr. Octopus comes into blows against The Owl, a Daredevil villain and another aspirant to the position of New York crimelord.
*** More recent examples include the last arc of ''ComicBook/BrandNewDay'', ''The Origin of the Species'' ("Amazing Spider-Man" #641-647), and his GrandTheftMe of Peter Parker's mind (in "Amazing Spider-Man" #699-700 and for the whole of "The Superior Spider-Man" #1-31).
** The Chameleon:
*** He was the very first costumed criminal Spider-Man has ever faced, in his first issue, even, of his regular comic book, "The Amazing Spider-Man" (not counting retcons).
*** During Gerry Conway's second stint in the late-1980s in both "The Spectacular Spider-Man" and "Web of Spider-Man", the Chameleon was one of the masterminds of the Kingpin Vs. Lobo Brothers Gang War, along with Hammerhead ([=SpecSM=] #150-154 and [=WSM=] #50-55).
*** He was also the [[spoiler:apparent]] Big Bad of the long-winded and infamous arc of Peter Parker's parents in the early- to mid-1990s ("Amazing Spider-Man" #365-367, then #386-388) that led to ''[[ComicBook/{{TheCloneSaga}} The Clone Saga]]''.
* The Shredder was the BigBad of the first issue of the Mirage ''Comicbook/{{Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles|Mirage}}'', in which he was killed off. He returned several story arcs later and took up his role as the Turtles' main adversary once again.
* ''[[ComicBook/{{XMen}} X-Men]]'':
** Magneto (Erik Magnus Lensherr) is a recurring example, being a mainstay of the X-mythos since 1963:
*** In the mid-80s, during Chris Claremont's long run in the main X-book at the time, Magneto is on the road on a HeelFaceTurn: with Xavier's blessing, he becomes the Institute's Headmaster, a member of the Storm-led X-Men and mentor to the New Mutants. This goes on until an ''Inferno'' epilogue in ''The New Mutants'' #75, wherein Magneto (by then the White King of the Hellfire Club, in a position shared with Storm) expels Shaw and becomes the Gray King.
*** As the X-Men march to the end of Claremont's run in the early 1990s, in a subplot in ''Uncanny X-Men'' #274-275, Magneto uses his powers to kil Zaladane, despite Rogue's pleas to the opposite. This basically cements him back into enemy territory.
*** Then, he was supposed to die for good in 1991, in Chris Claremont's (then) last arc for the X-titles, when Asteroid M crashes on Earth. However, he resurfaces in the 1993 crossover ''Fatal Atractions'', where he 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).
** Immortal mutant Apocalypse debuted as a X-Factor villain -first- in the late-1980s, during ''The Fall of Mutants'' (1987). He later appears as the villain for the last arc for the original X-Factor team before the creation of the Blue and Gold X-Men Teams in 1991. Despite a short appearance during ''The X-Cutioner's Song'' and ''Onslaught'' and being Cable's ultimate nemesis, he only comes to the forefront of the X-vllains with ''Apocalypse: The Twelve'' and ''Ages of Apocalyse'' in 2000. It should be noted, however, that ''The Age of Apocalypse'' (1995's crossover) ''does'' feature him as the Big Bad, but occurs in an alternate reality that is undone by time travel.
