*If only they had found some way to kill the dr...* ** *2. The Daleks *These iconic *Doctor Who* villains were originally just a one-off alien enemy, sneaked into the show despite a prohibition against "bug-eyed monsters" from the show's top producers. In fact, the Daleks are decisively destroyed at the end of their first story, with no chance they'll rear their shiny dome heads ever again. But then the audience loved the Daleks. Their debut caused a huge improvement in ratings for the show<http://tardis.wikia.com/wiki/The_Daleks_(TV_story)>, which led to them becoming one of the Doctor's major enemies. The Daleks have since appeared in some capacity in 12 out of 26 seasons of the classic show, and every season of the modern series. And the Daleks' creator, Davros, had a similar arc, being killed off in his first appearance and then coming back to become a mainstay.
