"When a man is faced with his own death, he finds the impossible less of a barrier."

― The Prince (Prince of Persia: Warrior Within)

"Even in death, the human body still remains active. Hair and fingernails continue to grow. New cells are produced... and the brain itself holds a small electrical charge... that takes months to dissipate. The T"-"virus" provides a massive jolt... both to cellular growth... and to those trace electrical impulses. Put quite simply, it reanimates the body."

― Red Queen (Resident Evil)

"I never saw it coming... but I felt it. I tried to vibrate my inner molecules to save my brain even as the bullet was tearing through. And in that moment, that very infintesimal split-second before death, I drew the Speed Force into me with every ounce of willpower I had left. I literally bought time. I'd expanded my moment of dying into days, maybe weeks... but it's like operating in a fog. Everything's a little unreal, and warped. I feel like I'm walking through water sometimes, and then when I speed up, I can feel my life slipping away."

― Professor Zoom (Suicide Squad: Hell to Pay)
