Morgan le Fay (Marvel Comics) has been 'killed' more times and in more varied ways than any other villain in the Marvel Universe. Despite this, she has survived each and every single time, most often appearing seconds later after her 'death' seemingly unharmed.

Phoenix H.png

Phoenix (Valkyrie Crusade) will always be reborn, each time with a different personality.

After destroying his clock and absorbing its magic, Caliborn (Homestuck) achieved unconditional immortality, in which he would resurrect regardless of his death being heroic or just, and like all god tiers, both his body and soul can come back from destruction.

While his physical bodies can be destroyed, Sephiroth's (Compilation of Final Fantasy VII) will and consciousness live on within the Lifestream as a kind of poison, allowing him to endlessly resurrect himself.

Dracula (Castlevania series) every time he dies he resurrects a hundred years later unless an external force resurrects him sooner.
