Who's stronger, Vecna or 11?

It's a close debate, but most fans and analyses suggest Vecna is currently more powerful due to his mastery and connection to the Upside Down's hive mind, though Eleven possesses greater raw potential and a key advantage through love and connection, making her a potentially stronger force when supported by her friends, notes Screen Rant, Reddit. Vecna has had decades to grow in the Upside Down, enhancing his dark powers, while Eleven's growth has been hampered by trauma, though her love-fueled power surge at the end of Season 4 showed immense development, suggests Reddit users, Screen Rant.

How did Dr. Brenner recreate 001?

Dr. Brenner recreated 001's (Henry Creel's) powers by studying his genetic mutation and applying lessons from Project Indigo, using psychedelic drugs (like LSD) and sensory deprivation on pregnant women, then taking their children (like Eleven and 002) to Hawkins Lab to develop similar abilities through experimentation and indoctrination, essentially breeding psychic children by manipulating the genetic fallout from his mother's past drug use, as explained in a Facebook post by Erin Rhodes. He discovered Henry's powers stemmed from his mother's past LSD use during the MKUltra experiments, and replicated this by giving other mothers similar drugs, resulting in children with powers, according to a Reddit thread.

Why does William Afton always say I always come back?

William Afton always comes back in Five Nights at Freddy's (FNaF) because his soul is tethered to his physical form (often the Spring Bonnie suit) by immense agony, guilt, and a refusal to die, allowing him to survive multiple fiery "deaths" and manifest as Springtrap, Scraptrap, Glitchtrap, and other entities, driven by his villainous will and the suffering he inflicts, often through remnants or digital viruses. His persistence is also a narrative device, making him a classic horror villain like Freddy Krueger, essential for the ongoing story.

Yes, Will Byers develops powers in Stranger Things Season 5, but they aren't his own; he can channel Vecna's power through his deep connection to the Upside Down's hive mind, allowing him to manipulate the creatures and even fight back, famously causing a nosebleed like Eleven when using them.
