Line 210:
* A copyright issue forced the retconning of ''[[The Invisible Man (novel)|The Invisible Man]]'' into this in ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]''.
** That, and the original character (Griffin) was an [[Ax Crazy]] psychopathic rapist, which would've been harder to squeeze into a heroic role than the film's formula-stealing burglar.
* ''[[The Princess Bride (film)|The Princess Bride]]'': The Dread Pirate Roberts. The pirate captain who took Wesley as a protégé was in fact the fourth man to have the position, later [[Passing the Torch]] to Wesley himself. as he told Wesley, the name was the important part - nobody would be afraid of the Dread Pirate Wesley. It is implied at the end of the movie that Wesley in turn passes the title to IndigoInigo, seeing as IndigoInigo has no idea what to do now that he's achieved the goal he's pursued so long.<ref>This is also a [[Stealth Pun]]: In Inigo's own words, he has been in the revenge business for decades. The Dread Pirate Roberts' ship is ''The Revenge''.</ref>
* Several exist in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' universe. Perhaps most notable are Jango Fett and Boba Fett, who becomes the best bounty hunter in the galaxy just like his genetic dad was twenty years prior.
* After the original Chatterer was killed in ''Hellbound: Hellraiser II'', two new character with similar attributes (Chatter Beast and Torso) showed up, with an entirely new Chatterer (dubbed Chatterer III, even though Chatterer II was just the original with enhancements) eventually appearing.
