Urban legend tells of a drifter wandering the side roads and back streets of the USA, a man who won't - can't - stay dead. A ''[[Resurrection Man]]''.
 
The legend is true. His name is Mitchell Shelley, and he's wandering the Earth, trying to do good by others where he can. Every time he dies, he comes back with a new superpower.
 
Mitch was originally the star of his own [[DC Comics]] ongoing back in the [[The Nineties|1990s]]., created and written by [[Dan Abnett]] and Andy Lanning (later known for [[Annihilation]], [[Nova]] and [[Guardians of the Galaxy]]). His first appearance was actually ''"Resurrection Man''" vol. 1 #1 (May, 1997). The series lasted for 27 issues, from May, 1997 to August, 1999. Focusing on his search to discover the truth about himself and his powers. Since the end of his original series, Mitchell has had guest appearances in various titles. He returns to the spotlight in a new Abnett/Lanning series as part of DC's [[New 52]] relaunch in September 2011.

* [[Amnesiac Dissonance]]: Turned out Mitch wasn't a very nice guy in his pre-Resurrection Man life, a corrupt lawyer deep in mob business. He seems to have been better in previous incarnations.
** The New 52 version was even less of a nice guy in his fomer life; {{spoiler|he was running the nanobot project, and conducting illegal human testing}}.
