* Creator/JRRTolkien. Sauron appears in ''Literature/TheSilmarillion'', ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'' and ''Literature/TheHobbit'', though in ''The Silmarillion'' he's TheDragon and in ''The Hobbit'' he's an offstage cameo[[note]]until the movies gave him some AdaptationExpansion[[/note]].

* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1987'', Shredder is invariably the antagonist in each episode, sometimes with help from Krang; other times the two are working against each other. One episode had a series of mysterious occurrences befalling the turtles and at the end of the episode it was revealed that Shredder had been behind those too.

* Lex Luthor (played by Creator/GeneHackman) appears in three out of four of Creator/ChristopherReeve's Superman movies: ''Film/SupermanTheMovie'', ''Film/SupermanII'' and ''Film/SupermanIVTheQuestForPeace'', and also appears in ''Film/SupermanReturns'' (played by Creator/KevinSpacey); Luthor plays more or less the same role in all of these. The only reason he's absent from ''Film/SupermanIII'' was precisely because producers wanted to avoid this trope. However, that movie features a character who's basically identical in characteristics and intentions (and who was originally supposed to be Luthor).
