** Which makes a little bit of sense as he litterally ''cannot'' die. ''Ever''.

* [[Red Shirt]] - Mr. Immortal is essentially a full red shirt army by himself. He even got a red shirt during Glx-Mas.

* [[Resurrective Immortality]] / [[Complete Immortality]] - Mr. Immortal's only superpower is the ability to resurrect in perfect health immediately after dying, regardless of the method of death. It is implied that he is ''homo s. supreme'', having evolved beyond death, and will survive to see the end of the universe. Not really an attractive prospect. He can take advantage of it by killing himself to heal any persistent injuries, so it's not entirely a bad thing.

Plus, #3 of the 4-issue-special is called "Mistaken Identity Crisis".

** Issue #2 of that series had an extended sequence with the GLA reaching out to every superhero they could think of to join their team - and all of them saying no. This was a reference to the then-recent first issue of DC's ''Villains United'', where Lex Luthor's villain squad contacted every baddie imaginable to join up, most of them saying yes.

** "You call yourself 'Flatman'? Do you have a sidekick named 'Ribbon'?" -- paraphrased from one of their earliest appearances.

* [[The Slow Path]] - Squirrel Girl travels to the future and meets Mr. Immortal, only to find he isn't there using a time machine.

* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]] - Squirrel Girl.
