Scratch

I know, this has been suggested countless times, but I just wanted to give my view on the subject. This is how I think it would work.
[blocks]
Create instance( # )of[ Sprite ]at x: (0)y: (0)
[/blocks]
"#" Meaning the instance would be labeled with a number. The original sprite would be Instance 0. If you were to create an instance with a number label that already exists, then the one that exists would move to the provided position. "Sprite" is the sprite you want to make an instance out of. X and Y is the position you want it to go to.
[blocks]
Delete Instance( # )of[ Sprite ]
[/blocks]
The instances are labeled with numbers, so you could delete a specific instance of the sprite.
[blocks]
Delete Self
[/blocks]
This would delete only the instance it's put in, so you can't put it in the background.

If you put a script in a sprite, then it would apply in all instances. Say you were making a shooting game, then this would be the script to fire:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<set{ v  }to( 1

<when[ space ]key pressed>
<create instance( <{ v  }> )of[ bullet ]at x   x of gun )y   y of gun )
[/blocks]
And the script in the bullet:
[blocks]
<when green flag clicked>
<forever>
<change y by( 10
<if> <( <y position> <>> 180 )>
<delete self>
<end>
<end>
[/blocks]
