Line 14:
The above steps are sometimes not intentional. For example, [[Dying to Be Replaced|Bob could be killed and replaced by Dave]] to boost slumping sales only to provoke [[Replacement Scrappy|backlash from the loyal fans]], [[Unexplained Recovery|so the old character is brought back]] [[Broken Base|only to provoke a similar backlash from David's new fandom]] making the creators turn to this trope as a compromise.
{{examples
* [[Iron Man]] Tony Stark is replaced by James Rhodes. When Stark returns to the role, Rhodey becomes [[War Machine (Comic Book)|War Machine]], which is basically [[Iron Man]] with [[More Dakka]] and a military background.
* [[The Mighty Thor|Thor]] was bonded to another mortal temporarily. When Thor was separated and banished, the mortal, having been valorous and physically dependent on the joining was given his own powers to become Thunderstrike.
