Whenever Mitch Shelley/The Resurrection Man (DC Comics) is killed, he returns to life with a new power that correlates in some way to his death.
Having eaten the Revive-Revive Fruit/Yomi Yomi no Mi, Brook (One Piece) was able to come back to life once...
...though he has several other new abilities and powers thanks to his status as an animated skeleton.
The prototype virus that Albert Wesker (Resident Evil) injected himself with did not activate until after he let himself be killed by the Tyrant.
