* The Sphinx, an enemy of [[Nova]], was an Ancient Egyptian Priest given immortality and great powers by a gem he found in a mysterious temple. But he came to [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|regret living for thousands of years]]; his main motivation was to find a way to end his own existence. |

* [[Vandal Savage]] was a Cro-Magnon man named Vadar Adg who found a strange meteorite that fell to Earth one cold night. He fell asleep near it, being bathed in its rays during the night, and he woke up an immortal being. However, the meteorite's effects aren't permanent; Vandal occasionally needs to eat the flesh and organs of his own descendants to maintain his immortality. |

* The Detian retrovirus in ''[[Undocumented Features]]''. It's only available thanks to a [[Sufficiently Advanced Alien]] who gives it out as a reward for service to the galaxy and life (and with one very notable exception it can't be reverse-engineered). Unlike many other examples, though, the immortality it grants is inheritable and passed on to the recipient's offspring. |
