Think of evil. Not Saturday Morning Cartoon evil, or Hollywood Blockbuster evil, but festering, seething, irredeemable evil. Who do you think of? Why, Adolf Hitler, of course! Orchestrator of genocide, enemy of the free world, and a really, really bad artist to boot. Thank goodness he killed himself in that bunker back in 1945, right? Right? ...Because if he somehow came back, we'd all be screwed. Maybe there's some nutjob who hasn't given up on the idea of the Third Reich, the Aryan Nation, the Thule Society, or any one of the other things Hitler had a hand in, or maybe they're just doing it For the Evulz, but bringing back Hitler for the express purpose of having him take over the world is a recurring villainous plot in fiction, and is often treated as synonymous with opening the gates of Hell and letting Satan and his minions run free or summoning down one of H. P. Lovecraft's many Eldritch Abominations to destroy the minds of all mankind — that is, The End of the World as We Know It. Of course, in reality, Hitler was a mere mortal rather than the very spirit of evil given human form, and bringing him back from the dead would in all likelihood not make The Legions of Hell Take Over the World. As a matter of fact, the reason why an Inglourious Basterds-type situation didn't happen in reality is because the Allies realized that Hitler's incompetent leadership was practically winning the war for them. On a practical level, cloning Hitler (a favorite method) would likely result in a completely different person who just so happened to look like Hitler. And in fact, a man who looked like Hitler would probably have less of a chance to end up in a position of power in today's world than just about anyone else. Though to be fair, most people probably wouldn't even recognize Hitler without the 'stache. We Didn't Start the Führer, meanwhile, is a better way to justify this trope by making Hitler a literal force of evil rather than rolling with the ironic premise that it's something in the genes. Sub-Trope of Resurrected Murderer. noreallife |

Fantômas: In a multi-issue storyline in the late 70s (likely inspired by The Boys from Brazil) a young Son of Hitler shows up, starts the Fourth Reich, takes over France, restarts the Holocaust(!!), and captures and tortures Fantômas (something no other villain in the series had ever managed to do.) His downfall only came when he became obsessed with Fantômas' follower, agent Taurus... a Black woman! | |

Averted in the non-canon Dragon Ball movie Dragon Ball Z: Fusion Reborn. A reincarnated Hitler marching through the streets of a major city at the head of a line of Panzers is played for comic relief, not horror, and is easily defeated by a couple of children. It's the reincarnated Frieza that's treated as a problem... for about three seconds. | |

In the Faction Paradox novel Warlords of Utopia, which involves a war between a parallel universe where Ancient Rome never fell and a parallel universe where the Nazis won WWII, ends with the son of Hitler, raised from birth to be Hitler times a thousand, escaping to our world, planning to wreak havoc. He is hunted down by the protaganist, who finds him in a small villa in Brazil. He is, for all his education and pure distilled evilness, little more than just another pathetic white supremacist. He's squashed like a bug. | |

Glemmy Toto of Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ claims a blood relation to the Zabi family. Though the final show is vague if this is true or how, he was intended by the writers to be the artificially-conceived son of Gihren Zabi, who is both based on Hitler and infamously accepted a comparison to him as a compliment. Glemmy's manipulations ultimately cause a civil war within Neo-Zeon and escalated the rest of the conflict, causing countless additional deaths. It seems Glemmy was put into power by his adopted family, which he uses as a stepping stone to greater things. | |

The Twilight Zone (1959): The episode "He's Alive" sees Hitler's ghost inspire and direct a young American neo-Nazi, eventually driving him to kill a friend to make a martyr for his cause, and later murder an elderly Jewish man. At the end of the episode, Hitler's spectral shadow glides along a wall, seeking a new apprentice, as the narration proceeds to inform the audience that as long as bigotry and racism exist, Hitler will always be alive. | |

Played with in Persona 2: Innocent Sin, where Hitler is resurrected via the power of rumors and a conspiracy theory suggesting he escaped instead of committing suicide and attempts to take over the world. This Hitler turns out to be fake, though. He also turns out to be none other than Nyarlathotep himself. Be afraid. Be very afraid. | |

Hilariously subverted in Lupin III: The First. Gerald and the Ahnenerbe organization are Nazi holdouts who believe Hitler is still alive in South America, based off a mysterious photo of him they have discovered, and their Evil Plan is to secure the Doomsday Device for him to use in reestablishing the Third Reich. Once they have it, an aging Hitler actually arrives at their base in Brazil and the overjoyed Gerald shows the Führer how to use it... at which point "Hitler" yanks off his mask and reveals himself as Lupin, tauntingly informing Gerald that not only is Hitler obviously dead, but that photo he based his whole crusade around is a fake made by Interpol Nazi Hunters to draw out targets. Oh, and since Gerald just showed him how to control the weapon, he has set it to self-destruct. | |

In The Venture Bros., a group of villains who want to resurrect Hitler (through cloning, and a dog reincarnation of him) are featured in the first episode of season four. It's Played for Laughs, of course. Brock kills the dog, then remarks that he can check one more thing off the list of cool stuff he never thought he'd get to do. And kinda, Girl Hitler. But she's actually kind of one of the good guys, helping lead La Résistance to free her country from the super-villain dictator who rules it and establish a free democracy. |

Given a subtle nod in Hellboy (2004) when Professor Bruttenholm casually gives a date for Hitler's death much later than 1945 — and, more concretely, establishes that Hitler had indeed used the power of legendary artifacts such as the Spear of Longinus to cement his power base. | |

In the Doctor Who Past Doctor Adventures novel The Shadow in the Glass, the Sixth Doctor and the Brigadier discover a Fourth Reich led by Hitler's son using alien technology (albeit alien technology that the Nazis have mistaken for a supernatural artefact), but this trope is defied as the Doctor proclaims that even Hitler Junior knows that there is no place in the modern world for his father's philosophy, justifying why he continues to hide away rather than mount his new campaign even though he is now the same age as his father was when Hitler committed suicide. | |

The cult of the Nazis who fled to Latin America in Vatican Miracle Examiner plays this trope in a rather crazy way using Hitler's sperm, frozen in a cryocamera, to impregnate young girls and get "Hitler's son" (in a funny way considering him a reincarnation of the "father"), all under the guidance of Satan — who is actually a mass hallucination from the drugs they have taken. | |

The Wolfenstein-inspired Doom mod "Astrostein'' goes further, and has the player time-travel into a future where the Nazis have ruled for just shy of a century thanks to use of a time portal to win the war. The final mod reveals that Hitler, in a device not unlike the page image, is kept alive as the power source for the Nazis' primary base in the Bavarian Alps, with everything losing power when you finally kill him. | |

In the Hellsing fanfic Hellsing: Demon Reborn, it's revealed that a reserve unit of Millennium led by the real, still-human, and very elderly Major, has been guarding Adolf Hitler after resurrecting him. His new body is still cooking, but is stated to be made with demonic magics that would turn him into an unstoppable juggernaut. Integra, knowing just how dangerous Hitler was as a mere mortal, is convinced allowing him to fully rejuvenate would lead to The End of the World as We Know It and works with Alucard and Seras to prevent his full revival. Indeed, when he finally gains a fully functioning body, he's able to fight Alucard to a draw. | |
