Virtual Ghost: Difference between revisions

* ''[[Red vs. Blue]]'' offers an interesting take on this: {{spoiler|Church is killed early in the series and "comes back" as a ghost. However, in ''Reconstruction'' he finds that he is an AI based on a (living) person's mind.}} The newest series, ''Recreation'', seems to be about {{spoiler|bring Church back to "life" with the remnants of his digital memories, themselves manifested as an AI.}}

** {{spoiler|Tex}} may be a more straight version of this trope.

* Possibly Franz Hopper from ''[[Code Lyoko]]''; his daughter Aelita was thought to be a Virtual Ghost, but is actually a digitized person who has survived for years in [[Cyberspace]]. Ulrich also spent one episode as a sort of Quantum Ghost due to his mind being accidentally separated from his virtual body.

* Borderline case: Watson in ''[[Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century]]'' -- he's not so much a digital recreation of his namesake as a [[Robot Buddy]] who consciously chose to imitate Watson to the best of his abilities.

** He did this ''twice''. First to mess with whoever tried to shut down Mainframe's core manually, second time as a distraction. He was more or less intangible both times.

* In the ''[[Batman Beyond]]'' episode "Lost Soul", Robert Vance does this to himself so that he can advise his company from beyond the grave.
