how are they still alive welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
counting down our picks for the top 10
hardest to kill TV characters before we
begin we publish new videos every day so
be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’ll be looking
at the TV characters who have survived a
huge number of near-death experiences as
well as those who died but can’t seem to
stay dead
we’ll be excluding truly immortal
characters like Nathan from misfits who
resurrect themselves and semi immortal
ones like the doctor of Doctor Who that
regenerate into a new form also because
death will be a consistent talking point
there will be spoilers ahead number 10
Claire Bennet heroes and heroes reborn
this cheerleader rarely needs saving
Claire Bennet is a young woman with the
power to regenerate from nearly any
wound she has survived Falls from huge
Heights a car crash and even having her
skull cut open by the murderous Cylon
who is a notable figure in his own right
while Claire’s ability to regenerate
from fatal wounds is powerful enough
that we considered leaving her off this
list the fact that she does meet her
final death in heroes reborn means that
she can actually be killed just with
great difficulty
number 9 dr. Daniel Jackson Stargate
sg-1 Earth’s foremost expert on cultures
dr. Daniel Jackson is an archaeologist
who has been through enough scrapes that
he’d give Indiana Jones a run for his
money
as part of sg-1 the frontline team sent
out to explore the galaxy through
stargates dr. Jackson has been shot at
and even tortured but it’s his tendency
to die that makes him notable dr.
Jackson has been shot multiple times
died of radiation poisoning and being
stabbed through the chest on a
disintegrating spaceship
Daniel survives all of these through a
combination of advanced alien healing
technology and ascending to a higher
plane of existence number eight
Sydney Bristow alias the lifestyle of a
globe-trotting secret and often double
agent is no picnic at Sydney Bristow can
attest along with a host of emotional
traumas including the deaths of friends
and loved ones amnesia and more
betrayals from the average reality show
Sydney injures a glut of near-death
experiences as well having been shot
several times almost strangled and
barely survived a car crash
given the show’s predilection for
cliffhanger endings though it’s no
surprise that the creators would want to
put the protagonist in so much danger I
need anything
number 7 Jon Snow Game of Thrones a
bastard son and a formidable former
brother of the Nights Watch Jon Snow has
seen more action in peril than most of
the cast of Game of Thrones surviving
heroine climbs and epic battles with men
both living and dead
the man who quote knows nothing has even
come back from the dead after suffering
betrayal in a show where anyone can die
John is on a short list of people who
got a second chance
beric Dondarrion has come back more than
once but the fact that we see more of
what Jon goes through gives us more of a
connection with him
I mean after escaping death so many
times is then he wonder he’s always
pouting
number six Rick Grimes the walking dead
one of the primary protagonist of the
series Rick Grimes has faced death and
the dead quite frequently right from the
show’s beginning when he comes out of a
coma
rick has escaped undead hordes as well
as an impressive number of murders and
sometimes cannibalistic fellow survivors
Rick manages to walk away from the
beaten choked and eaten on several
occasions often only by the skin of his
teeth given that he’s the leader of a
group of survivors in the post
apocalypse it’s only fitting that he can
seemingly survive anything
number 5 Murdoch a Guyver
[Music]
while the titular hero has defied death
plenty of times it’s this more ardent
nemesis that makes our list Murdock is
an assassin who’s sadistic and gleeful
enjoyment of his job made him a very
entertaining character his conflicts
with MacGyver were often overly
complicated and full of disguises but
almost always concluded not only with
Murdock’s defeat but also he’s apparent
death these have included multiple falls
being trapped beneath the collapsing
building and electrocution followed by a
fall into a pool set on fire
murdock always returns though proving
that he’s a master of survival and not
just disguise number four Cordell Walker
Walker Texas Ranger in a world where
there is no Chuck Norris there is
Cordell Walker the titular Texas Ranger
isn’t impossibly skilled an honorable
man whose usual method of fighting crime
is to use one of his patented roundhouse
kicks to knock the bad guys into the
next week however his modus operandi
doesn’t blend well to facing any armed
opponent or at least it shouldn’t
[Music]
Walker manages to survive situations
that should kill him with dubious
regularity from gunfire to poisonous
scorpions Walker is larger than life and
a good thing too otherwise he’d be dead
number three Buffy Summers Buffy the
Vampire Slayer everyone’s favorite
snarky Slayer Buffy Summers faces more
death and danger than most teenagers
regularly battling demons monsters and
naturally vampires no idea what you’re
dealing with given her rather grim
destiny Buffy comes close to dying on a
near daily basis though her
preternatural strength along with her
trusty gang of friends definitely helped
her out of most of the situation’s she
finds herself in
however the Slayer does end up dying
twice in the series the first by
drowning and the second by sacrificing
herself to save the world again Buffy
doesn’t let something like dying stand
in her way though number two Dean and
Sam Winchester supernatural the
Winchester brothers can even give Buffy
a run for her money
Sam and Dean have been raised to fight
evil since they were children and it’s a
mission they pursue with incredible
success but not without going to hell
and back along the way literally the
brothers have also been to heaven
purgatory and many more supernatural
locales combined the brothers have died
over a dozen times in a variety of ways
and have endured pain and loss to such a
degree that it’s frankly amazing that
they’re still kicking and kicking ass
before we get to our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions let me die please
please
please I’m begging you got me thought
you should have left me to die back
there on that beach number one Jack
Bauer 24 a federal agent and the bane of
terrorists and other bad guys everywhere
Jack Bauer has foiled at least nine
spectacularly threatening plots and at a
blistering pace in the course of his
24-hour marathons of saving the day Jack
is being tortured stabbed overcome drug
addiction volunteered for multiple
suicide missions and generally put
himself in more danger than most real
people will ever experience our
survivability is all the more impressive
since most of his death-defying
experiences take place in single days do
