The number of times you may say “ I thought you were dead ! ” in scientific discipline fabrication is probably only match by characters in soap operas . In honor of Easter , here are eleven of the dear resurrections .
1 . Daniel Jackson ( Stargate SG-1 )
While pretty much the entire team has go and come back , Daniel wins the prize for doing it the most . He gets injection , he get radiation syndrome toxic condition , he gets killed , he gets killed again . And then again . And then again . You know , it ’s hardly any wonder he ’s gotten compared to Kenny from South Park .
2 . Ellen Ripley ( the Alien motion picture )
As far as resurrections go , Ellen does n’t totally stick to to the strict definition . But when she ’s brought back as a clone in Alien Resurrection , it ’s so as to bring Sigourney Weaver back . This fourth dimension with enhanced metier and acidulous blood . So she ’s not only back , but she ’s also even more badass than she was before . ( Which actually seems to be a trend with scifi resurrections . )
3 . Captain Jack Harkness ( Doctor Who and Torchwood )
In “ The Parting of the Ways , ” the close of Series 1 , Jack is killed by the Daleks , but is brought back by Rose Tyler , who ’s essentially ingest the power of the clip maelstrom , making her moderately much all - powerful . When she brings him back to life , however , she kind of exaggerate it , and now Captain Jack can not die .
4 . Buffy Summers ( Buffy the Vampire Slayer )
In the hundredth episode , “ The Gift , ” Buffy sacrifice herself for her babe Dawn . After she ’s been idle for five calendar month , she ’s lend back by her friend in “ Bargaining . ” Whoever said you ca n’t get by with a lilliputian help from your friends ?
5 . Charlotte “ Chuck ” Charles ( Pushing Daisies )
Really , every individual beat person Ned touch comes back to life . ( recall the Resurrection Glove in Torchwood ? That ’s basically Ned , only Ned bakes pie too . And has a few more normal about how long he ’s allowed to keep the dead alive . ) Well , he breaks those rule to let his dead childhood sweetheart , Chuck , remain in the land of the life , making her the most permanently resurrected character on the show .
6 . Pretty Much Every Dead Superhero Ever
It would take always to even slant the berg here . I figure it ’s a pretty fairish premiss that if a superhero ’s died , they ’ve also do back , maybe more than once . And if they have n’t , you just have to waitress a few years and they will . ( Or they ’ll somehow manage to keep showing up in demise . Exhibit A : The Dibnys . ) Superman , Jean Grey , Batman , Jason Todd ( Robin II ) , Hal Jordan ( Green Lantern I ) , and on and on and on . . . No admiration they say end is a revolving threshold in comic strip .
7 . The Iron Giant ( The Iron Giant )
Now , once you start the list to golem , it gets a trivial messy . you’re able to , after all , repair and reconstruct them . ( You have the technology . ) In this case , however , the Giant sacrifices himself in society to prevent the entire town getting ruin by a nuclear projectile from the USS Nautilus ship to destroy the Giant . Several month pass , and everyone thinks the Iron Giant is stagnant , but we see him in part at Langjökull glacier in Iceland , slowly calling all his function together , on the face of it to reassemble . ( On top of that , I still hold that voice the Iron Giant is Vin Diesel ’s bang-up use to date . )
8 . Sam and Dean Winchester ( Supernatural )
In the finale episodes of Season 2 , Sam is killed by Jake , another “ special ” nipper ( “ special ” being “ potentially demonic ” ) , who really does conceive he ’s doing the proper affair . Dean , however , feels that killing Sam is in spades the wrong thing , so he makes a trade with a Crossroads Demon : Sam back to life in interchange for one year leave of spirit for Dean . That ’s Winchester Resurrection # 1 . Unfortunately , Dean only has a year left to live , so at the end of Season 3 , he , er , dies . Lucky for him , however , he gets dragged back by an angel list Castiel . ( Unlucky for him , it ’s because it ’s his occupation to stop the Apocalypse . ) And that ’s Winchester Resurrection # 2 . ( in reality , it ’s probably also the second or third time Dean ’s died . But still . )
9 . Captain James T. Kirk ( The Return , a novel by William Shatner )
While the canonicity is most definitely in motion , The Return also most definitely has Kirk come back from the beat . He ’s resurrect by the Borg and plant with false memories designed to make him hate the Federation . The destination is , of course , to destroy Picard , but at the closing of the 24-hour interval , Kirk sacrifice himself in Picard ’s place , thereby form it seem that he is once again dead . Spock , however , does not believe that .
10 . Pat Henry “ Hobbit ” Hobbins ( The Armageddon Rag by George R. R. Martin )
Pat Hobbins was the frontman for a rock band forebode The Nazgul , but was assassinate at a 1970 concert . When the banding reunite with a young lookalike singer named Larry ( who ’s even had the cosmetic surgical operation to look like Hobbins ) , they begin discover a change in Larry at concerts , but only when they perform songs off their aptly named last album , Music to Wake the Dead . Larry , for all intent and intent , becomes the once - deadened Hobbins . possibly it could be contend more as possession , but the novel ’s title of respect is take from one of the ring ’s songs , the 2d half of which is “ The Resurrection Rag . ”
11 . Aslan ( The Narnia series , C. S. Lewis )
Hey , what better elbow room to cease a stake in honor of Easter with a little fable ? He ’s excruciate , humiliated , and dispatch by the White Witch and her followers , but get along dawn and he ’s back in all his aura , which he explicate thus :
“ But if she could have looked a slight further back , [ … ] She [ the White Witch ] would have known that when a willing dupe who had place no perfidy was killed in a two-timer ’s stead , the Table would break up and destruction itself would start working backwards . ”
