Line 11:
Not to be confused with [[No One Could Survive That]], where the person in question is ''thought'' to have died. If someone survives a [[Mortal Wound Reveal]], it is necessarily this trope.

Line 48:
** He does believe in the Lady, as shown when he meets her (also, gods on Discworld vandalize the houses of non-believers). He just doesn't believe she is the one who always saves him.
** Rincewind does not actually sustain any life-threatening damage. He is just always saved just in time.

* [[Milton Jones]]. He falls from a plane above the former Yugoslavia but survives by landing on a snowman... he's pushed into a printing press by Chris Evans but rescued by Esther Rantzen... he's stranded in the Arctic but saved when Agnitha from Abba turns up and gives him a snowmobile...

* Real life example: Rasputin if the stories are to be believed (which they aren't -- his killers made him out to be an all-but-unkillable monster because it made ''them'' look like incredible badasses). He was supposedly stabbed, shot, poisoned, and drowned, [[Rasputinian Death|naming another trope]] in the process. Cause of death? Hypothermia, from being drowned in an icy river. And he was in the process of clawing his way up from under the ice when he died.▼
* Has happened [http://www.greenharbor.com/fffolder/ffallers.html a few times] in real life.▼
* [[wikipedia:Tsutomu Yamaguchi|Tsutomu Yamaguchi]]. Dude survived both nukes and outlived the pilots.▼
* Hitler survived a briefcase bomb detonating just a few feet away from his legs. All that was ruined as a pair of trousers. Averted however since that while the blast appeared as something that should have been fatal or at least crippling, Mythbusters proved that the way Hitler stood made it much less dangerous than it had seemed. .▼

** Later [[Justified Trope|justified]] in that [[A Wizard Did It|the Wizard That Did It]] wants to keep them alive for various less-than-altruistic reasons.

* Starscream of ''[[Transformers]]'' can be like this in several of his incarnations. Occasionally he ''doesn't'' survive...and ''comes back anyway''.
** Beast Wars tried to hand-wave it by saying Starscream's spark was mutated in a way so it can never join the Matrix, but also made it completely indestructible. They also tried to clone his spark, resulting in Rampage, who's spark could apparently be cut by an energon blade without lasting damage (although it does cause him great pain) whereas other sparks in the situation are destroyed.
* ''[[Inspector Gadget]]'' alternates between being saved by Brain (who often takes the bullet in the process) and sheer luck. And it's hilarious.
Line 102 ⟶ 95:
* ''[[Beavis and Butthead]]'', especially in the earlier episodes, often experienced things that should've killed them like the tornado episode for instance.
* The Joker in the Batman series has survived falls and explosions, and seems immortal, hence the term [[Joker Immunity]]. {{spoiler|Ironically he is [[Killed Off for Real]] in the Batman Beyond movie}}
* In [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E15 Feeling Pinkie Keen|Episode 15]] of ''[[My Little Pony:
