"Morphology: Dark Samus. Reborn, enhanced, and vengeful. Enhanced beam system and Boost attacks added to arsenal. Stealth field generator present in armor. Tactical scans have identified several new battle systems in the armor of Dark Samus. She now wields a potent variant of your Charge Beam. Her Boost attack has been augmented, and the ability to render herself invisible is present as well. Bioscans suggest that Dark Samus can reform her body short of total atomic disruption. Extreme caution recommended."

As long as one drop of the oil exists, the joyous work continues.
Magic: The Gathering about New Phyrexia

Goku: How did you
Cell: You weren't here for this, but TL;DR: Piccolo's cells.
Piccolo: Okay, I am... ninety percent sure I can't do that....
Cell: We'll figure that out later.

Faethor Ferenczy: For years without number they suffered a plague of starfish, in such quantities that they ruined the fishing and their great weight broke the nets. And the policy of the fishermen was this: they would cut up and kill any starfish they hauled in, and hurl it back to feed the fish. Alas, the true fish does not eat starfish! And worse, from every piece of starfish, a new one grows complete! And "naturally", every year there were more. Then some wise fisherman divined the truth, and they began to keep their unwanted catches, bringing them ashore, burning them and scattering their ashes in the olive groves. Lo and behold, the plague dwindled away, the fish came back, the olives grew black and juicy.
Thibor: Now you tell me, what starfish have to do with you and I?
Faethor Ferenczy: With you, nothing, not yet. But with the Wamphyri... why, "nature" has granted us the same boon! How may you cut down an enemy if each lopped portion sprouts a new body, eh? And how may any mere man kill a vampire? Now see why I like you so well, my son. For who but a hero would come up here to destroy the indestructible?
Necroscope II: Wamphyri

"It's all in here, it's part of my design: Every cell has a life of its own! I can't die; it's impossible! Even if I self-destruct I will always come back!"
Cell, immediately before the page quote, Dragon Ball Z

Hasdatean: You are too weak to destroy a blood elder... but you could wound them. To reform a whampyri body from dust is a long and... agonising process.
Father Lucian: So in their next lives, they might strive to be without sin.
Hasdatean: So in their next lives, they learn to fear the stake.
