When The Wild Wind Blows took over a decade from first ideas to finished song, so maybe that?

Invaders ?

These are good calls (if we consider "Invaders" a rewriting of "Invasion", albeit a very radical rewriting), but unfortunately not the correct songs!

Clue #1:
This song includes a returned favor.

Clue #2:
It took the song you are looking for quite some time to fully develop.

Clue #3:
The song you're looking for was never a single and was played only in one tour. And not even in all shows. Managed to leave the mark tho.

Wrong guesses: The Trooper, 22 Acacia Avenue, The Man Who Would Be King, Virus, When the Wild Wind Blows, Invaders
 
All guesses wrong. But one of you came really close to one clue!

Clue #1:
This song includes a returned favor.

Clue #2:
It took the song you are looking for quite some time to fully develop.

Clue #3:
The song you're looking for was never a single and was played only in one tour. And not even in all shows. Managed to leave the mark tho.

Clue #4:
In the lyrics of our song, you find:
- a polyptoton
- the title of a very popular series of dark fantasy RPG videogames
- a Marvel superhero's name
Furthermore, I can say none of you mentioned the correct album yet. But again, one of you came really close.

Wrong guesses: The Trooper, 22 Acacia Avenue, The Man Who Would Be King, Virus, When the Wild Wind Blows, Invaders, Journeyman, Sea of Madness, Hooks in You

Explanations:

Clue #1:
This song includes a returned favor.

Clue #2:
It took the song you are looking for quite some time to fully develop.
—> "The Mercenary" is one of the three songs discarded from Virtual XI and resumed and perfected during the Brave New World sessions.

Clue #3:
The song you're looking for was never a single and was played only in one tour. And not even in all shows. Managed to leave the mark tho.
—> Not a single, never made its way into a setlist after the BNW Tour; it wasn't played in 4 or 5 shows, but it left the mark since it's included in Rock in Rio.

Clue #4:
In the lyrics of our song, you find:
- a polyptoton
- the title of a very popular series of dark fantasy RPG videogames
- a Marvel superhero's name
Furthermore, I can say none of you mentioned the correct album yet. But again, one of you came really close.
—> In order: "Hunted, hunter, which are you?" is a polyptoton; "Diablo comes again": Diablo is a popular series of dark fantasy RPG developed by Blizzard North (later continued by Blizzard Entertainment); "Iron will, iron fist, how could it have come to this?": Iron Fist is a Marvel superhero.
