Recursive Creators: Difference between revisions

 

{{examples}}

* In the ''[[Marvel Universe]]'', the [[Sufficiently Advanced Aliens|Celestials]] created the Kree, who in turn created [[The Inhumans]].

 

 

== [[Literature]] ==

* The eponymous (and autonomous) spaceships of [[Fred Saberhagen]]'s ''[[Berserker (Literature)|Berserker]]'' series.

* The Hypotheticals from Robert Charles Wilson's novels ''Spin'' and ''Axis'' are of the Von Neumann type seen below

* The short Novel ''Model II'' by [[Philip K. Dick]] has a handful of US Marines find out what has been happening since they gave the deadly robots built to fight off the new URSS the capability to reproduce simply because they were so dangerous nobody wanted to work on them anymore. It's not pleasant.

 

* There's a ''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'' example, when the android Data creates its own android offspring, Lal.

* Cylons in ''[[Battlestar Galactica]].'' It didn't turn out well for them, either.

 

== [[Western Animation]] ==

* A good one from ''[[Transformers]]'' Generation One. Wheeljack creates tbe Dinobots from scratch. Years later Grimlock, leader of the Dinobots created the Technobots from scratch. Arguably all of the Transformers count since they were given life by Vector Sigma, a computer, and built by the Quintessons. Not sure if they're fully machine though.
