Well, I always thought the best way to bring a villain back was to use a computer program. See, given a sufficently comlicated program, and a sufficently powerful computer you could (in theory) use character traits from a person''s life to duplicate his personality in a computer. What''s worse than a villian? An all-knowing, nigh-killable super-villian who can laugh at you from a computer screen and has direct input from any number of interface hookups.

In the 5th element, one of the holy warriors supposed to defend "the 5th element" that were killed at the beginning of the story is ressuscitated by recreating her body from what they found of her remains : a finger.

actually the warrior WAS the fifth element (dont worry not spoiling the film you find that out about 5 mins after you first see her)

You''re certainly not ruining it for me. I''ve seen the movie fifty million times. It used to run on Sci-fi repetitively. And I used to love it.

I was thinking about writing a Stargate SG-1 fanfic where a Goa''uld''s conscienceness (sp?) was uploaded into a computer on an over-industrialized planet. He then would proceed to take over all industrial machinery and mass-produce Jaffa-like androids, wipe out all biological creatures, et cetera, work on creating a power source that would last forever, and SG-1 would come and detinate an EMP bomb so they can salvage nearly everything. I guess it could be done with some other villain.

you could also not explain at all why he come back and for the hero and the viewer it will be a complete mystery which will remain unsolve, and you can use these arguement bottom because the hero seek how the vilain come back each time he was kill, and then find clue but it''s always wrong at the very end because even when the supposed mecanism is destroy (i e the clone factory is destroy) the bad guy still come back and the hero is drive crazy at the end

Part of the reason for explaining why or how a villain came is because it''s fun to come up with stuff like this. At least for me it is. I like to come up with the origins of villains and magical items and weapons and so on so forth.

maybe his past self travel to the future to continue his job or maybe alternate dimensions.....like Jet Li's 'The One'

Actually the Fifth Element was love. That was the whole point of the film.

Yes, but Leeloo was the embodiment of the fifth element. Only her love would do it, not anyone else''s.

A faithful servant, of course.

Well, with his disappearance in the past, it would change the future so he wouldn''t die at all. No one besides them two would know the truth. I don''t like time travel anyone. It''s far too fickle for my liking. In my point of view, everyone who writes about time travel screws up somewhere along the way.
