* In ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2003|TMNT: Back to the Sewer]]'' it is revealed that the Utrom Shredder periodically uploaded a copy of his mind as a back-up; if he ever died, that copy was then re-downloaded into a clone body. Before that, Professor Honeycutt (aka "The Fugitoid") combined this with [[Lightning Can Do Anything]].
** Professor Honeycutt (aka "The Fugitoid") combined this with [[Lightning Can Do Anything]] in his origin story. After receiving a distress call from Sal, his robot assistant, Honeycutt tried to untangle Sal from the wires he was tangled in, but was struck by lightning and had his body disintegrated. Fortunately, Honeycutt had earlier created a device that allowed the user to mentally pick up objects - him to pick up objects allowed his mind to be transported or transferred into Sal's body. This event turned Honeycutt into the Fugitoid.this later lets him copy his consciousness between computers, allowing him to [[Disney Death|survive his own heroic sacrifice]].
* The title characters of ''[[The Venture Brothers]]'' had their minds uploaded by Doctor Venture because they're death-prone and he keeps a stock of clones ready to replace them. That... sounds really bad on paper
** It is revealed that the Utrom Shredder periodically uploaded a copy of his mind as a back-up; if he ever died, that copy would then re-downloaded into a clone body. However, this did not come to pass, and the program remained unnoticed in a Foot Clan data vault until the events of the 7th season ''Back to the Sewers''. Viral (a living computer virus) came across the vault and tried to access it, unknowingly triggering its defense measures when she tried to tap into its contents. The Shredder data then infected and reformatted her into a vessel for the new Cyber Shredder.
