Eventually, one of them is. In video games, this is often a Recurring Boss. There can be several reasons for this: 1. The character is just that tough, and their killers want to make absolutely sure that they go down and stay down. 2. The character is backed by Powers That Be or some other supernatural thing. 3. The first fatal thing that happens is relatively slow-acting, and knowledge of it leads them to do something drastic. 4. Someone really hates them. 5. It's funny. Because the trope involves death, mark any necessary spoilers --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ... Copied to Clipboard!

Not to mention In MGS3 alone Big Boss gets his bones broken and thrown off a bridge by his mentor, gets electrically tortured by Volgin, loses his eye, falls off a waterfall, nearly drowns, and maybe even eats expired food!

He keeps not dying from all those things well yeah, that's what the trope is someone who keeps having things happen that could be fatal, only for them to keep surviving (but then eventually dying anyway) --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

I was interpreting it as still somewhat in relatively short order, but hey if that's not a qualifier than by all means Big Boss counts. In which case, I have another one.
