Line 31:
== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* ''[[Code Geass]]'': C.C. states that she knew [[Benjamin Franklin]]. The date in the show is in an alternate New Tens.
* ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'': [[Really 700 Years Old|Resident immortal Evangeline]] recalls Negi's
Line 37:
* In ''[[ClanDestine]]'', a group of villains figure out that Adam Destine is immortal based on finding portraits of him, all at the same apparent age, spanning several hundred years.
* ''[[Fables]]'': Tommy Sharp plans to do this to the Fables living in Fabletown. He's been gathering evidence of their inhuman nature; following Bigby and photographing him shapeshifting, but also checking back on the title deeds of the land and buildings in Fabletown - all owned by members of the Fable community since old New York was New Amsterdam and early photos of them dating back into the 19th Century which show that none of them have aged.
* ''[[Preacher (Comic Book)|Preacher]]'': {{spoiler|Proinsias}} Cassidy. He's a vampire and was made one during the Easter Rising in Dublin 1916, which makes him 80+ during the series' run. He tells Jesse all about how he was turned and how he came to America and all the friends he's left behind and lost to old age through the years during a long conversation on top of the Empire State Building. [[Unreliable Narrator|Turns out he missed a few details, though.]]
** The Saint Of Killers got a four-issue mini-series all of his own to tell us about his mortal life in the Civil War and the terrible winter of 1878. He dumps a silver dollar with just that date on the counter of a bar in ''Gone To Texas,'' too.
* ''[[The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen]]'' features Orlando, an immortal [[Gender Bender]] who frequently makes passing mention of the historical figures s/he has met at various points their life.
