I was thinking about what heroes and villians have had more than one body. They got killed and brought back in a new body. I'm trying to think how many there are. I mean how many characters can visit their own graves and say...well there's the body I was born in. Dead and rotting in the ground?
The list so far:
DC COMICS:
The Brain: Yeah he's a box on wheels right as always. But he did get an other actual body for a little bit.
Green Arrow: His original body was killed in a plane explosion and he was brought back in a younger cloned body.
Lex Luthor: His brain was put into a younger cloned body but that was short lived as the demon Neron brought back Lex's original body made younger.
Ultra-Humanite: His original male old proto lex bald mad scientist body, than the female movie star, than the White Gorilla body.
Cyborg/Victor Stone: His original body which got merged with the Technis and evolved into Cyberiad. That one was lost and he got his mind/soul put into a the omegadrome? Or something like that and shifted into a gold tinted body. Than he got a cloned human body which got merged with the omegadrome and somehow Mirror Master converted Victor's 3rd body into a copy of his orignal cyborg form.
Robot Man 1 and 2: 3 bodies for the orignal golden age version. His own body. His robot body and lastly a new human body in the form of his assistant. And than Cliff Steele has his original human body and his various robotic shells.
Red Tornado: Bit complicated with this guy. Depending on the story he's the soul of a alien being who split itself in two beings called Tornado Tyrant and Tornado Champion that got merged back into one and merged with the android body than post crisis Red tornado was a chose Elemental being that merged with the soul of T.O Morrow's dead infant son. Than he got a human body and got a new android body. So quite a few bodies under his belt
Raven: Cult of Blood and Brother Blood brought her back in a new teenage body
Jericho: Raven used the same process that gave her a new body to do the same for Jericho.
Lobo: Brought back mulitple times as a woman and back to himself. Lost count on what body he's on. Last time he was made young and that body got destroyed a new one grown from drop of blood on Apokalips another drop grew into its own idependent being called Slobo.
Kid Flash/Impulse/Bart Allen: He died in his 21 year old body but got ressurected in a new 15 year old body
Livewire: Post Reboot legion. His original body died but his mind/soul lived on in Element Lad's crystaline body. It just got recently changed into a duplicate of his original body.
Iris West Allen: Barry Allen's wife. She had her original body. Than she took over a male juror at Barry's murder trial. Than her future parents put her in a clone body of her original.
MARVEL COMICS:
Baron Helmut Zemo: He got beheaded by Jack Monroe/Nomad/Scourge. Got his mind temporarily placed in Citizen V's body and eventually stole the body of his Heroes Reborn/Cournter Earth counter part.
Drax The Destroyer: His original human body died. And Mentor and Chronos built a new one for him.
Adam Warlock, Gammora, and Pip The Troll: All 3 died and during Infinity Gauntlet. 3 drunk ass criminals died in a car accident. Adam took their bodies and used his power reconstruct those bodies as perfect duplicates of their originals.
Professor X: Original body infected and destroyed by a brood. Transfered his mind/soul to a younger cloned body created by Moira MacTaggert.
Original New Mutans: All killed by the Beyonder who created new bodies for them and brought them back.
Wolverine: While fighting Galactus Logan's entire body was destroyed. Only a drop of his blood survived and a cosmic crystal used that to recreate his entire body and it also kept his mind/soul from passing and laced his mind into the new body.
Psylocke: Switched bodies permantely and her old body died of the Legacy virus.
Apocalypse: He started jumping bodies and when he came back a couple years back he actually came back in his original body.
Red Skull: Came back in a cloned body of Steve Rogers. Than jumped into Lukin's body and now is currently in a Zola robot body.
Fixer: Human body injured. Was set aside to regenerate/repair. Had his mind tranfered into a robotic form called Techno and eventually went back into his human body.
Quasar/Wendell Vaughn: Came back recently in a Quantum Zone Energy Body...though it might not count as it might be possible his flesh and blood body was converted..however during a storyline in his book he did go around in a separate energy body while his human body was dead.
Hope Summers: The messiah baby. MAYBE. Rumor has it that Hope is Jean Grey reincarnated as when asked about it the powers that be kept saying. She has red hair and green eyes what do you think?
Dr. Doom: For a time Doom resided in some innocent bystander's body when his original body was destroyed by Terrex. The Beyonder eventually rebuilt Doom's original body and set things right. Though this falls into body switching sort of like Ultimate Spidey and Wolverine or Reed and Doom in the original FF issues. So hmmm might not count. I looking at more permanent new bodies.
Sasquatch: Original demon possesed body destroyed. For about a half hour in Hulk's body and than for quite some time in the Box bot body. Eventually he got a new female body (supposedly Snowbird's but she came back) and that eventually got turned into a perfect duplicate of his original male form.
Havok: Got knocked out of his original body by a time machine explosion. His body remained in the care at a hospital while his mind got thrown and took over the body of his counterpart in the Mutant X series until it got cancelled and he got put back in his original body.
Deadpool: Just remembered this one. He was part of Weapon X and it souped up his healing factor and made him look normal. Got fucked up dead so bad that only his hand survived. And from his hand a new body grew for good old Wade Wilson. Why? Cause Thanos is a cock blocker and doesn't want Wade hooking up with Mistress Death.
Tony Stark: What a mess this is. Tony's current body is a merging of two versions of Tony. An alternate universe version nick named Teen Tony merged with his at the time dead body. This was done by Franklin Richards during Heroes Reborn. Both bodies were turned into energy, combined, and created Tony's current body. So in a way it is his original body but at the same time it is not. So I would say this is his 2nd body.
I really do hate when two diffrent versions of the same character are merged. Hurts the head.
Captain Britain: He defenetly has had more than one. I know in the Alan Moore/Alan Davis run THE FURY left nothing but a thigh bone left. And Merlyn and Roma used that as a basis to build Brian Braddock a new body. I think for a time Brian was merged with an alternate version of himself called Brittaniac? And than I belive he died again in CB and MI 13 and got yet another new body.
Vision: Poor droid is stuck in a box at the ruins of Avengers Mansion. He was on his 2nd or 3rd body by that point.
Ultron: Bot has gone through so many bodies it's ridiculous.
Jocasta: She's on her what 2nd or 3rd body?
Mandarin: He's long since lost his original body. But has used the rings to steal the occasion poor sap's body and used the rings to reshape that body into a perfect copy of his original.
Gargoyle: Issac Christians was an old man with alzheimer's dying. His Gargoyle body is a demon body his mind/soul was put into.
Thanatos: An alternate Rick Jones. Fought with the 2099 heroes. Was just a energy being until he took someone's body and reshaped it into a copy of his original body. Also fought with Genis-Vell/Captain Marvel III.
Thanos: His original body was turned to stone and crumbled by Adam Warlock. Mistress Death brought him back in a new body.
Black Knight: Dane Whitman's real body got turned to stone. But while it was stone his mind went back in time and took over the body of his ancestor. The Black Knight of the Crusades. Staid their for a couple years and even was friends with the mutant Exodus.
Kang the Conquerer: I forget if he invented it himself or stole it from one of his counterparts. He had tech that let him transfer his mind into his alternate counter parts if he died. He eventually destroyed the tech in Avengers Forever and said he would face death like a man and not cheat it anymore.
Immortus: In Avengers Forever Kang has a temporal split creating a younger him counterpart that Immortus(who was killed in earliler issues) becomes.
IMAGE COMICS:
Spawn: I never read the comics But from what little I know and the movie it seems his original body is in the grave and Al Simmons was going about in a ectoplasmic body created for his damned soul.
I'll keep updating this thing so any more characters out there that fit the bill?
