* A not-quite-heroic example: Nod fanatics in ''[[Tiberium Wars (Fanfic)|Tiberium Wars]]'' tend to employ a very potent drug that can, among other things, keep their blood oxygenated for at least a full minute after ''their heart has stopped'' and they're clinically ''dead.'' The drug and its use are based on real-life accounts from US military personnel who fought militia and insurgents using similar drugs (primarily [[wikipedia:Epinephrine|epinephrine]]).
