* Arcana Comics's hero ''Kade'' was the prophesied hero who would free the world from the demon Apollyon. When word of the prophecy reached Apollyon, he had every boy born under the Black Sun a.k.a Eye of God (a special eclipse) killed. Kade's mother was murdered during this period and baby Kade died from exposure. But the supernatural energies of the Black Sun had re-animated Kade's body and trapped his soul inside of it. So growing up for 21 years, Kade never realized he's actually dead, just that he doesn't feel any physical sensation. Kade would later learn that the Black Sun has made him the champion against evil and as an undead, he won't age and will only die if killed with violence. Kade learns to repress his rage at his lack of sensation, as well as growing kinder to others.

* Played with in ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies''. While most zombies ''are'' flesh-eating monsters, they [[RevenantZombie retain their intelligence]] and are able to act rationally so long as they keep their HorrorHunger in check. Certain zombies also possess altruistic qualities such as Zombie Spider-Man who constantly has MyGodWhatHaveIDone moments and eventually turned on his fellow zombies to side with the humans, while Zombie Colonel America still retains a degree of honor and promises to let survivors die painlessly first.
* Dead Girl from ''ComicBook/XForce'' is a mutant whose power is to return from death as a RevenantZombie. She's not only friendly but also a superhero who protects her friends and even starts a romantic relationship with one of her teammates.

* ''Film/ShaunOfTheDead'': [[spoiler:Ed becomes this at the end]], [[DownplayedTrope sort of]]. While they have to chain him up to keep him from biting anyone, it otherwise seems like he's fine to play video games with Shaun in the latter's shed.]]
