This trope is normally associated with characters whose prophesied (or at the very least, expected) return indicates a salvation of some sort, similar to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. The character in question may or may not be fully aware of the Messianic Archetype role he or she is supposed to fulfill with his or her return to a society in desperate need of a hero to either set right what once was wrong in his or her absence or to bring them to The Promised Land. The reasons for the character's absence in that society can include going on a long journey or going into self-imposed exile from the society that doesn't see any need for him or her or even accidental Time Travel into what turns out to be a Bad Future. Sometimes it may even involve the death of the original hero and that his or her return would come in the form of some future incarnation, like a Clone Jesus. In any case, the return of said character with whatever power he or she may display to provide deliverance will validate the faith of those patiently waiting for the character's return as they have elevated him or her to messianic status during the absence. Related to Rightful King Returns. Not related to Boldly Coming. For the X-Men crossover, see X-Men: Second Coming. |

Aleph in Shin Megami Tensei II, an artificial Messiah created by the Messians after they got bored waiting for the real Second Coming. Needless to say, YHVH is pretty pissed at this. Aleph isn't even the first, either; the Heroine and the Law Hero of Shin Megami Tensei I, which takes place decades earlier, are both declared to be the Messiah. The Heroine was said to be the Messiah because she remembered her past life, and the Law Hero was resurrected by God to lead the Messians. |

In The Chronicles of Wormwood, Wormwood's friend Jay is the Second Coming of Christ, although he's not entirely lucid for most series because he has severe brain damage as the result of a cop caving in the side of his head with a nightstick. Lift the dreadlocks on his right temple and you can see a three-inch scar. His daddy sent him to Earth in the freaking sixties. Police Brutality at its finest. He does recover naturally by the end of the series and decides to host a talk show to start helping people again.. | |

The Allagan Empire in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn resurrected their legendary first emperor, Xande, to lead them into a new golden age after a long period of stagnation. The Allagan Empire did indeed experience a dramatic resurgence under Xande's rule, but ultimately he subverted this trope, embracing nihilism in the face of having accomplished everything and deciding to destroy the world, only to destroy his own empire instead. | |

As of Wax and Wayne, Survivorist lore states that the Survivor survived death, and will return for his followers in their time of need. Given that he died onscreen in Mistborn and his subsequent revival was explained as a ploy, it seems like more religious lionization... until he appears sixteen years after his death in The Bands of Mourning. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Agahnim sets himself up as this in the back story. In a period where Hyrule is simultaneously ravaged by plagues, famine, drought, and other hardships, he appears out of nowhere and works miracles to set things right. He becomes a hero to the people and the King declares him to be the second coming of the Sages of old and appoints him his priest and second-in-command. Granted, he does herald the return of someone from the past... In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, everyone expected the Hero of Time to return to deal with Ganondorf when he was released from his imprisonment, but he didn't, which led to the flooding of Hyrule. This didn't deter the surviving citizens of Hyrule from dressing up boys in the garb of the Hero of Time in the hope that they can one day instill the same level of courage in them to defeat evil. However, years later, a new hero who ended up bearing the Triforce of Courage was recognized by Ganondorf as "the Hero of Time, reborn". Even Hyrule Castle is seen to be honoring the Hero of Time as a Messianic Archetype. |

In Legion, the pregnant woman is carrying the child who's meant to be the second coming of Christ. However, as a rather bizarre twist, God has decided he's had enough of mankind so he's sent his angels to kill the woman, prevent the second coming, and end the world. This in effect would make the child an Anti Anti Christ. | |

Futurama had a throwaway reference to Jesus's second coming in 2443, which was not described, but was apparently very destructive. The show proper is set six centuries later, so one can draw their own conclusions. However, the Professor occasionally swears by Zombie Jesus. | |

Warhammer 40,000: One of the main problems the Imperium faces is the God-Emperor's current state. Some believe he will someday return to his full power, others believe the Golden Throne keeping him "alive" must be unplugged so that he can be returned (which could very well doom the Imperium as a whole if they're wrong, as currently the only thing He's capable of doing is projecting a psychic beacon without which FTL Travel is impossible for Imperials), still others are looking to jump-start him by finding all the demigods he sired during his millennia of Walking the Earth and sacrificing them simultaneously... and naturally each faction believes their interpretation is correct and the others are dangerous heretics who must be corrected with fire. There was a Second Coming in the form of the Primarch Roboute Guilliman being restored from stasis, being utterly horrified at how far the Imperium had fallen from its height, and after a few choice words with the Emperor, started trying to fix it up. Unfortunately, while he's not directly responsible for it, the galaxy as a whole is now even worse off with a supermassive Warp storm cutting it in half. |

Superman in Kingdom Come, who left Metropolis when he realized that the people desired a hero like Magog over a hero like himself, returning to deal with a generation of heroes who patterned their ethos after Magog. Pastor Norman McCay sees this return as the prevention of the upcoming superbeing Armageddon at first, but then immediately his visions reveal that Superman's presence would catalyze the coming doom, not avert it. | |

Played with on Family Guy; Peter meets Jesus working at a record store and believes it's the second coming, only to be told that it's not the case and that he comes back every hundred years or so to catch up with the world. | |

In Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome, Max is mistaken for the second coming of Captain Walker, a pilot who left children of a plane crash behind with the promise that one day he will return to take them to "Tomorrow-morrow Land," or back to civilization as it once was. | |

In Dragons in Our Midst, the main character, Billy Bannister, is the second coming of Arthur. The entire plot is built around the Arthur/Christianity principle. | |

Blood of the Tribades: The vampires' religion teaches that Bathor, who's sort of their Christ figure, will one day come again. In the finale, she does. | |

Dreamy Smurf in The Smurfs (1981) dreams that he has been taken to the land of the Pookies, who have been waiting for his return to deliver them from the tyrannical Norf Nags. The end of the episode, however, may suggest that it was otherwise, as Dreamy trips over a crystal similar to the ones seen in his dream. | |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: In "Rightful Heir", a Klingon religious caste tries to use cloning and memory construction to recreate their local Messiah, Kahless, so that they (with him as their puppet) could take over the Klingon Empire and "restore it to greatness". When the plot is revealed, one of the monks involved points out that for all anybody knows this could be exactly what Kahless had in mind when he promised to return. The episode ended with the truth being revealed, and both the clone and Klingon society took it remarkably well: as a compromise, Kahless II ends up becoming the figurehead Emperor (a previously vacant position). In the episode "Devil's Due", the Ventaxians are fearful of the Second Coming of their Satanic Archetype Ardra, who according to their legend had the people make a Deal with the Devil that she would give them 1000 years of peace and prosperity in exchange for them being made her slaves upon her return. As it turned out, it was a con artist using advanced technology who was posing as Ardra and taking advantage of their legends in order to con the people out of their resources. |
