Immortals
Hi all,
Just wondering which of the popular comic book characters are true immortals.
For example, I used to think Kal El was an immortal, but he clearly gets old and stuff, so I assume he isn't.
So who is genuinely immortal? And I mean someone that won't die because of age, not that they can't be killed.
Vandal Savage is obviously one, but I would like to know the more common characters that I haven't really thought about if they are immortal or not, e.g. Wonder Woman.
🙂

Deadpool, Mr. Sinister, Apocalypse to name a few.I'm not entirely sure how far Wolverine's healing factor pushes his age, but I don't think he's an immortal in that sense, at all.

Fury says Wolverine hasn't aged a day since WW2. /shrug
Thanos being dead and all, is dead 'Pool even still cursed?
Pretty much all of DC's pantheons (Greek, Scandinavian, African, New Gods)
Arion the Immortal (well duh), Doomsday, Resurrection Man, Hawkman, Hawkgirl, Shazam (the wizard), Swamp Thing (I think), Deadman, Hourman (the android), Etrigan and all the demons, Onymar Syn, Guardians of the Universe, the Controllers, Cyborg Superman, Phantom Stranger,

Wolverine does age, there was that wolverine the end comic, although that was a possible alternate future/universe that still showed wolverine ages and could die of old age

He also looked more or less the same in Millar's FF run (450 years into the future), Here Comes Tomorrow (150 years into the future), and in Timestorm (90 years into the future)... aside from missing his arm that is.

All we know for sure is that he hasn't aged a day since the day Fury met him during WW2. Other than that we have a few alternate realities where he has aged, and a few where he hasn't.
Also Bloodscream is pretty immortal. He doesn't age and he's picked up his head and reattached it mid-combat and Antman enlarged from inside of him exploding him into millions of pieces... which he apparently healed from.

In (I think) the Endangered Species one shot, Wolverine thinks of life in the future. He is slightly older and tending the graves of his fellow X-men. Whether he's right or not, the in continuity Logan thinks he ages and outside of a specialist in genetics or biology, he is probably the person best qualified to judge that.
