== Anime and Manga ==
* Garterbelt from ''[[Panty and& Stocking Withwith Garterbelt (Anime)|Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt]]'', who was a [[Jerkass]] up until he got killed, then, with the blessings of God, became immortal and lived through all of the world's history from the dinosaurs to the present. {{spoiler|In Episode 13, it appears he's killed. Twice. However, he always put himself back together afterwards.}}
* In ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]] Z'', the [[Filler]] and [[Non-Serial Movie]] villain Garlic Jr. wishes for immortal life from the Eternal Dragon. The only thing that stops him is knocking him into a dark prison called the Dead Zone (which presumably would kill anyone mortal), and the first time that didn't take. The second time around he has no way of ever getting out of there again, and will foreseeably [[Immortality Hurts|be stuck there for all eternity]] while drained of most of his power.
* The [[Big Bad]] from ''[[Ninja Scroll (Anime)|Ninja Scroll]]''. If there was a way to kill him, none of the other characters found it.
* Madoka Kaname from ''[[Puella Magi Madoka Magica (Anime)|Puella Magi Madoka Magica]]'' wishes to {{spoiler|change the [[Magical Girl]] system and becomes the embodiment of hope in the process, losing her earthly self but ascending to God status}}, putting this trope into full effect.
 
 
== Comic Books ==
* Doctor Manhattan from ''[[Watchmen (Comic Bookcomics)|Watchmen]]''. The only thing that slows him down is the same thing that gave him his powers, and since he already overcame that problem to begin with, it's more of a minor hindrance than anything else.
* In some incarnations, [[Superman]], especially the ''[[Smallville]]'' version; in one episode a boy with the power to see how people will die (by touching them) touches Clark Kent and does not see a death, only some funky visual effects.
* Mammoth Mogul from the ''[[Sonic the Hedgehog (Comic Bookcomics)|Sonic the Hedgehog]]'' comics, is essentially an [[Alternate Company Equivalent]] of Vandal Savage. When he finally realizes he can't beat Sonic, he decides to simply wait until Sonic is too old to oppose him.
* In ''[[No Hero]]'', {{spoiler|Carrick Masterson is immortal. He can't age or get hurt by anything. He does feel pain. That's it.}}
* In the [[Marvel Universe]] Amatsu-Mikaboshi was revealed to be this, being as it is the [[Anthropomorphic Personification]] of the nothingness before Creation. It is not only older than the universe, it is older than the universe before that and the one before that, stretching back to the Beginning.
Line 33:
 
== Fanfic ==
* In ''[[Keepers of the Elements (Fanfic)|Keepers of the Elements]]'', all of the Immortals are this, but [[Big Bad|Radcliffe]] is losing his.
 
 
Line 39:
* Almost all ghosts in ''[[Ghostbusters]]'' that are not at least a Class 7 are this, which is why they get trapped and sent into the containment unit.
* In the film ''[[Wishmaster]]'' the Djinn claims to be this, to justify why nobody can simply wish him to die- as an eternal being, he simply ''cannot'' be destroyed.
* In a similar vein, [[Satan]] in ''[[End of Days (Film)|End of Days]]'' mocks [[The Hero]] for thinking he can beat him, since ''"you are just a man, and I...am [[Large Ham|FOREVER]]"''.
* [[Ramin Bahrani]]'s short film, ''[[Plastic Bag]]'', ends with a lamentation by [[Werner Herzog (Creator)|the narrator]] that amounts to "I wish I could die."
* John Hancock and Marie Embrey from ''[[Hancock]]''. They can be killed, however, if a specific circumstance happens: {{spoiler|If two immortals are close to each other.}}
 
Line 47:
* The Tucks in ''[[Tuck Everlasting]].'' They don't age, and nothing they've encountered yet can kill them.
* In ''[[A Canticle for Leibowitz]]'', [[Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane|if the old man really is]] the [[Wandering Jew]], he's got this. (He's old, but he does not age. Assuming it really is the same man over all the sections of the novel.)
* Eru from ''[[The Silmarillion (Literature)|The Silmarillion]]'' and Tolkiens' other works is also this, being an [[Expy]] of [[God]] himself. The temporal, physical world was created partly for death to exist in the first place, in order to resolve the climatic conflict between Good and Evil.
** [[God of Evil|Morgoth]] is the only true example of this in Middle-Earth. The elves are [[The Ageless]], and most other Valar and Maiar ''can'' have their bodies destroyed, but can just make new ones. But Morgoth turned the ''entire planet'' into his [[Soul Jar]], meaning he literally cannot die until the end of time. Doesn't save him from being a [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]] at several points, but technically he's ''still'' out there, waiting...
* The Ellimist and Crayak, from [[KAK. A. Applegate]]'s ''[[Animorphs (Literature)|Animorphs]]'' series. While not all-powerful, they are quite god-like, often use the Yeerks and the Animorphs as [[Cosmic Chess Game|"chess pieces"]] in their game, and have been living for thousands if not millions of years.
* Windle Poons from ''[[Discworld (Literature)/Reaper Man|Reaper Man]].'' He returns as a zombie, and despite the best efforts of his colleagues (and himself), he just ''will not die''. However, it's possible he wasn't really a zombie, due to [[Death Takes a Holiday|Death Being Fired]], as other zombies are apparently capable of dying or at least being harmed.
* ''[[The Divine Comedy]]'': Not only God, but all souls are subjected to this kind of immortality, no matter if they are in Hell, Purgatory or Paradise. [[Captain Obvious|Their mileage varies about this status.]]
* [[HPH.P. Lovecraft]]'s Great Old Ones, or at least Cthulhu, have this form of immortality. In ''Call of Cthulhu'' Cthulhu gets a boat driven through his skull, turning his head into green paste. It reforms pretty much instantly. In writings of one of the later mythos writers, he's also gotten vaporized by a nuclear strike, only to reform himself. According to some writers, they can be killed by another Great Old One (or other godlike entity) while other sources state that they are completely unkillable.
 
 
== Live-Action TV ==
* ''[[The X -Files]]'': Alfred Fellig in "Tithonus" was this until {{spoiler|he managed to look into Death's eyes.}} It is possible that he passed this condition to {{spoiler|Scully.}}
* ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'': as part of the Mayor's Ascension he becomes completely unkillable and unharmable (but he's still a germaphobe). Once he completely Ascends he becomes killable, and Buffy kills him.
* Captain Jack in ''[[Torchwood (TV)|Torchwood]]'' and ''[[Doctor Who]]'' is this. Blow him up and the body gradually begins to reassemble. He has been stated to age ''very'' slowly.
* In ''[[Supernatural (TV series)|Supernatural]]'', [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] claims he is the one thing in existence that will last forever.
* The evil liquid entity Armus in the ''[[Star Trek: theThe Next Generation (TV)|Star Trek the Next Generation]]'' episode "Skin of Evil" is stated to be immortal and unkillable. He has already spent an immeasurable amount of time on a barren, uninhabited planet after his creators left him there. {{spoiler|Picard ensures that [[And I Must Scream|he will be trapped there for as long as possible without any means of escape]].}}
 
 
Line 69:
== Video Game ==
* The immortals of ''[[Lost Odyssey]]'' are completely indestructible in the story -- but [[Gameplay and Story Segregation]] means they function like [[From a Single Cell]]-like immortality during gameplay (can be hurt and [[Only Mostly Dead|"killed"]] during gameplay, but revive on their own).
* The Unbreakable Darkness of ''[[Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable (Video Game)|Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha As Portable]]: The Gears of Destiny'', an [[Eldritch Abomination]] that was sealed in the Book of Darkness. Despite looking like a little girl, she's older than the previously established immortals of the series. She's also unable to die [[Death Seeker|no matter how much she wants to]], a fact demonstrated when she takes the strongest attacks in the entire franchise without receiving a scratch even when she's at just a fraction of her full strength.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Fujiwara no Mokou]] and [[Living Forever Is Awesome|Kaguya Houraisan]] from ''Touhou'' are immortal in the truest sense. While it functions like [[From a Single Cell|From A Single Cell]] they literally cannot die. Due to the laws of reality in Gensokyo when someone enters an area desegnated as the afterlife, where people can come and go, they count as dead. Mokou and Kaguya near literally run into a wall they cannot pass. One character has the power to cause anything to die at will. The two immortals are completely unaffected. They will probably exist til the end of time.
* The Nameless One from ''[[Planescape: Torment]]'' {{spoiler|had his mortality stripped from him}} and is therefore a true immortal in the exact literal sense. There are ways that will kill his body (thus, for all practical purposes of gameplay, kill him) due to ruining his [[Healing Factor]] ([[And I Must Scream]] scenarios, being killed by a God or god-like being like The Lady, cremation, dissolved in acid), but on a spiritual level he will never die: His spirit can never move on, he can never reach the afterlife, and {{spoiler|because the Grim Reaper essentially sees him as a blank in the books, someone else dies in his place every time he would die instead.}}
 
 
Line 81:
* The [[No Name Given|Narrator]] of [http://www.everything2.com/user/santo/writeups/Immortality%2Bblows Immortality Blows] has immortality "so perfect" that he/she [[Apocalypse How|survives the end of the world]]
* The golem girls in ''[[Wapsi Square]]'' have this kind of immortality.
* The character Anne Poole, from ''[[Fine Structure (Literature)|Fine Structure]]'', is cursed with this form of immortality. She is indestructible and immortal, which becomes a problem near the beginning of the story when she's accidentally teleported into ''solid rock''. By the time they get to her, she's gone insane from deprivation. Of course, she eventually gets better, and she goes on to live tens of thousands of years longer; it's revealed that she actually goes through phases of insanity, as the human mind isn't meant to have that kind of continuity.
** From the woman herself:
{{quote| ''Sometimes the discovery becomes massive and everybody in the world finds out at once and I end up on a pedestal. Sometimes they make me their leader, sometimes they call me an abomination, sometimes I get arrested and studied, usually it's all of this at once. I've been everywhere. I've done everything, spoken every language, built a pyramid, survived re-entry. History goes in cycles. If you watch it for long enough you can see the tipping points coming and be there when they happen. I invented fire, the wheel, the electric motor, antibiotics, you name it, every era, every country. Fought in X number of wars. Once, I actually ruled the whole world.''<br />
''I've walked on the Moon barefoot.'' }}
* The [[SCP Foundation (Wiki)|SCP Foundation]]:
** SCP-682 is described as a "Hard-to-Destroy Reptile". It's basically a homicidal, regenerating dinosaur that adapts to whatever you throw at it. They haven't tried things like nuclear bombs on it yet, because the last thing they need is a radioactive, red hot homicidal indestructible dinosaur. Between experiments, they keep 682 stored in a tank of acid, because while that won't ''kill'' it, not having a muscular structure will at least make it hard for it to cause any trouble. Though it still manages to break out of it occasionally.
** There are other complete immortals in the SCP holding cells, including the Demon Born of War and Abel, but 682 is probably the most famous.
