Sure, Immortals star Mickey Rourke will most likely live forever, but how does he stack up to our picks of favorite immortal characters?
We scoured the pop-culture landscape for the greatest ever living, death-defying characters. Read on for our list of the best immortal characters in all of entertainment.
| 11 | Ra's Al Ghul |
One of Batman's most dangerous villains, The Demon's Head has stayed fresh-faced for 700 years thanks to the tepid pools of the Lazarus Pit, which he has scattered around the world. While that sounds like a good idea on paper, it does make him criminally insane, so you've gotta take the good with the bad in the Bat-verse.
| 10 | Connor MacLeod |
Thanks to The Quickening—and so long as he literally keeps his head on his shoulders—Connor MacLeod of the Clan MacLeod has lived for decades, despite having to change his identity and bouts of amnesia from time to time.
| 9 | Keith Richards |
Scientists believe that the only things that will survive a nuclear holocaust will be cockroaches, bacterium and Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards, and given his years of surviving all manner of temptations and perils of life on the road for the past 50 years, we're guessing even Keith will outlive his post-apocalyptic brethren.
| 8 | Wolverine |
You ask us, it's pretty easy to be "the best there is at what you do" when you've had decades and decades of practice. Granted, what Logan here claims to be the best at is taking on horrible, powerful enemies, and at times coming dangerously close to death, but still, there's no need to brag, Wolvie.
| 7 | Cassidy |
Guys like Dracula and those pretty boys from Twilight and True Blood may get all the shine these days, but for our platelets, they don't come cooler than Cassidy from Preacher. Sure, he'd most likely horribly murder you and leave you drained of the red-bubbly, but at least he'd knock back a few (dozen) pints while he regales you with awesome stories first.
