History HealingFactor / WebOriginal

* ''WebOriginal/KnightsOfJebalot'': The Soulless are able to regenerate from lethal wounds, including being stabbed with a plunger, shot in the head, and hit by a car. [[spoiler: It's because their souls are manipulated by an entity called the Devourer of Souls, who keeps them alive to fulfill its plans.]]

* Most of the population in ''WebOriginal/OrionsArm'' has this thanks to [[https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4e9ad3a4b9387 medical nanomachines in their bodies]]. The rate of regeneration is realistically slow at (on average) 1 mm thickness of tissue regrown per hour.

*** For regen 3 and higher, their blood is a hazardous material, and blood transfusions from such regenerators often end up [[CloneByConversion turning the recipient into a clone of the donor]], often with LaserGuidedAmnesia as a side effect.

*** For regen 3 and higher, their blood is a hazardous material, and blood transfusions from such regenerators often end up turning the recipient into a clone of the donor, often with a MindWipe as a side effect.
*** The worst potential side effect of regeneration is 'regen cancer', which mostly affects those in the regen 3 to 5 range: once a tumor has started, death is inevitable, swift, and gruesome, as their body becomes a mass of out of control cells that eventually explodes into chunks.

* Website/NobodyHere: Much like its real-life counterpart, the titular character in "[[https://nobodyhere.com/justme/axolotl.here Axolotl]]" can regrow its legs, gills and tail after you rip them out, which it even encourages you to do.

* WebOriginal/{{Ultimate}}: Ultimate has one, good enough to heal a shattered ribcage.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation''. Generally speaking, any SCP item tagged "[[http://www.scp-wiki.net/system:page-tags/tag/self-repairing#pages self-repairing]]" will have this to some degree.

** [[https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-4820 SCP-4820 ("The Way Of The Sea")]] is a sailor who gained the power to rapidly regenerate wounds after getting stranded on a desert island. Unfortunately, there were no plants or animals on the island, and he still needed to eat. [[{{Autocannibalism}} It didn't take him long to think of a solution.]]

*** Different regenerators react differently to drugs and alcohol: some aren't affected, or are only affected the first time they are exposed to it; some burn through it very fast, getting the full impact, withdrawal, and recovery in a matter of hours or minutes; and some others, such as Circuit Breaker, have unpredictable results completely different from normal reactions.

** [[http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-633 SCP-633 ("The Roaring One")]]. SCP-638 heals at an abnormally high rate proportional to its consumption of raw meat and wine.

* ''Roleplay/GlobalGuardiansPBEMUniverse'': This was a ''very'' common power.
** The all-time champion was probably Splatterman, so-called because he seemed to end up as {{chunky salsa|Rule}} every time he ended up in combat. Being aware of how quickly he healed, Splatterman would often put himself in position to have this happen, because he knew it wouldn't really slow him down. Leap off the top of a building? Sure. Jump through a wood-chipper? Yep. Swallow the live hand-grenade? You bet. And like a Timex, he took a licking and kept on ticking.
** The villainous Nematode not only regrew parts that were cut off of him, but the parts would regrow into whole beings as well. Cut off an arm, and suddenly fight ''two'' Nematodes.

* In ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' a character starts mysteriously losing body parts. They don't grow back, but the wounds they leave behind heal instantly.

*** While Wildman's body survives the NoHoldsBarredBeatdown Kodiak gave him in their arena match, the result of Wyatt [[BoomHeadshot putting his fist through Tony's skull]] was that his brain regenerated as a blank slate. Wyatt's guilt over this is a significant factor in some of his later actions, but the isolation it caused due to other students being afraid of him was also the lever Freya used to turn Kodiak into her personal enforcer.

* In ''Podcast/TheMagnusArchives'' a character starts mysteriously losing body parts. They don't grow back, but the wounds they leave behind heal instantly.

* This is so common in the ''Literature/WhateleyUniverse'' that there is a Regen ''scale'' describing how fast any mutant recovers from injury. Carmilla once was decapitated: her head grew back while the assailant stared in shock. Tennyo had her entire arm blasted off by a supervillain: she spun around and had completely regrown her arm by the time she got to him, intent on massive retaliation. Other characters have this to a lesser degree, including Generator and Peril.
** Note that regeneration in the WU can end up as BlessedWithSuck in a number of ways, and the potential for problems rises with the strength of the healing (though the specific form of regeneration has an impact as well):

* WebVideo/RickPointBlank: The plot revolves around a serum that heals wounds when it's poured on them and grants a Healing Factor that would make Wolverine jealous when injected. [[spoiler: Unfortunately it also causes insanity.]]

* Veldron of ''Literature/SuperStories'' can [[GoodThingYouCanHeal regenerate when very close to death]], causing many to assume that he has this power all the time. He doesn't.
* In ''Literature/DeadWest'', the aristocrats might have this as a {{Psychic Power|s}}, commonly paired with HealingHands. The Porcelain Doctor has this, too, and he is [[PowerIncontinence "leaking"]], which means Gervas and Thomas also seem to display this. Niall states he cannot regrow limbs, but bones are apparently fair play. A French aristocrat said they can heal everything the body supposed to heal, but brain damage is a though deal. Most likely because their abilities are damaging their brains.
* ''Literature/TrintonChronicles'' has Xiion who heals at a highly rapid rate which he can do at will for a faster rate of healing or subconsciously for a slower but faster-then-normal rate.
* In ''Roleplay/WeAreOurAvatars'', Yasmin can heal incredibly quickly, to the point that she's [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction incredibly apathetic toward pain]]. There's also Ozzy (A.K.A. Gina), Snake, and various other Gods/Characters who have this ability.
* Discussed in a couple ''Website/{{Cracked}}'' articles:
** [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/7-bullshit-video-game-healing-methods/ 7 Video Game Healing Methods Least Likely to Actually Work]]
** Portrayed as undesirable in ''Website/{{Cracked}}'''s [[http://www.cracked.com/article_20241_6-awesome-superpowers-that-would-suck-in-real-life_p2.html 6 Awesome Superpowers (That Would Suck in Real Life)]] because the intense pain would lead to post-traumatic stress disorder.
* Othala from ''Literature/{{Worm}}'' has the power to grant this to other people.
** Then, of course, there's Crawler who can regenerate any injury in seconds - even having half his brain teleported into a parallel dimension - and then [[AdaptiveAbility develops a permanent resistance]] to whatever hurt him in the first place.
** The Endbringers have this as well. It's not fast enough to heal wounds in the same fight they got them in, but it's powerful enough for them to regrow their entire bodies from their cores if necessary.
** Scion has this turned up to eleven. Any wound he suffers heals so rapidly that it's hard to tell he was ever hurt at all. He rarely needs to use his healing, though, as he's so {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le that there's little on the planet that could possibly harm him even slightly.
* ''Literature/EntirelyPresentingYou'': It's one of Alexis Barnett's few powers, and it's her most useful, having saved her from all sorts of damage that a normal person couldn't walk away from. Like [[spoiler: getting her arm ripped off, getting hit by a truck, getting stabbed, twice, among so much worse]].

** [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-2922 SCP-2922 ("Notes From the Under")]]. When a human being implanted with SCP-2922 dies, they go to an afterlife that the Foundation calls Corbenic. The body they have there regenerates all physical damage it takes in seconds.
