** Wolverine is the most stand-out example; for decades (in RealLife), it was unknown just how old Wolverine was, but it was known that he had at least fought through one or both of the World Wars and he is still extremely healthy in various far-flung {{Bad Future}}s. It wasn't until 2001's ''ComicBook/Origin2001'' that it was revealed he was born in the late 19th-Century, thus not quite immortal, but extremely long-lived.

* ''WesternAnimation/{{Igor}}'' has Scamper, a talking rabbit who was given immortality from a serum and is a snarky DeathSeeker.

* The roster for ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' has at various times included the gods Hercules, Gilgamesh, and Thor, and the Eternal Sersi.
* Orlando has been in multiple incarnations of the ''ComicBook/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', formed centuries apart. The first time Mina looks through the records, she assumes it's a LegacyCharacter situation. [[spoiler: Orlando winds up sharing his/her immortality inducer with Mina and Allan]].

* ''VideoGame/{{Onmyoji}}'': Yaobikuni, who ingested mermaid flesh to become the only immortal among the game's four protagonists. This becomes important to the plot at one point, where she's the only one truly BarredFromTheAfterlife while the rest of the group, while still alive, can enter the afterworld by way of magic.

* In ''Literature/TheHobbit'' and ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings'', elves are described as immortal. The only elf in the main party of both books is Legolas.

* In the audiobook series ''Cheese Runners'', the chief engineer is Zook, an immortal whose primary character trait is being suicidal due to the fact that he has lived for so long. VenturousSmuggler Captain Fisch is constantly having to either talk him out of killing himself or finding some preposterously dangerous thing for him to do to keep him entertained.
* In ''Literature/FarRainbow'', Camill is the only resident of the title planet who isn't particularly afraid of the [[ApocalypseHow P-Wave]], because, as one of the few successful human-machine mergers, he is functionally immortal. Dying and coming back is painful for him, but as he tells Gorbovsky, "Tomorrow morning, I will wake up on a empty planet, all alone, surrounded by snow and ash."

!Examples:

** Connie is definitely an inversion, however. As an ("honorary") member of the Crystal Gems, she is the sole full-fledged human. [[spoiler:Even Lars, another human who joins forces with them, later becomes immortal.]]

** In the original timeline, Maxi became immortal after he was wounded by shards of the [[EvilWeapon Soul Edge]]. Thus, when he began traveling with his companions Kilik and Xianghua again, he had basically become immortal.
** Inverted with Ivy, who was the TokenGoodTeammate amongst he BigBad trio of herself, Astaroth and Nightmare. Of the three, she was the ''only one'' who ''wasn't'' immortal--at the time. After [[DefectorFromDecadence leaving the group upon realizing she was being used]], she later became immortal after a confrontation with her father, where she absorbed [[YourSoulIsMine all of the souls he himself had stolen]] and became immortal herself.

** Possibly inverted with Steven. By default, all Gems are immortal and never age from the moment they're created, including the veteran members of both the Crystal Gems and the Diamond Authority. Steven, however, being a HalfHumanHybrid, grows up from a baby to a teenager through the course of the show. It's speculated that [[ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty he may stop aging at some point]] but no one knows for sure at the moment.
** Connie is definitely this, however. As an ("honorary") member of the Crystal Gems, she is the sole full-fledged human. [[spoiler:Even Lars, another human who joins forces with them, later becomes immortal.]]
