I have a few questions regarding whether or not Immortality types 2, 3, 5 and 7 apply to this character, Gargos from the rebooted Killer Instinct. (keep in mind this isn't meant to be a CRT, although this topic will be featured in an upcoming one, which will also feature all the evidences and scans of what I say).
He is naturally an incorporeal soul (spawned from a black hole) and originates from the afterlife (or rather the dimension where the souls of people go upon dying). He creates bodies for himself to inhabit, and killing the body would just set his soul/true self free, which can return to the Astral Plane, create a new body and then come back to Earth (although the process requires time and the death of the body weakens his true self).
I believe this could be considered type 5, since his true self already comes from the afterlife and is unbound by it, and to kill him you need to destroy his soul.
I'm not sure about types 2, 3 and 7, since his physical bodies are "artificial" (although biological) things he creates, but aren't naturally part of him, and for this reason I'm not sure concepts like Regeneration, Undeath and Resilient Immortality can be applied to them.
