Just been thinking about how characters from Sentinels of the Multiverse don't always tend to be 'alive' in the way we understand it. I was thinking of gathering a list, as my own reference/amusement.
Ones I can think of, off the top of my head:
- Dark Watch era Mr Fixer, a ghost haunting his own corpse
- Fanatic... I can't put that into a simple sentence.
- Absolute Zero, who doesn't eat, breathe or sleep
Any others we know of?

Medico and Writhe fall into this to me to a degree moreso Medico being pure energy. The Operative gets resurrected like Fixer and who knows what her status is.

Omnitron.
Haka. (Does he even need to eat and sleep?)
DW Nightmist, she's almost all mist.
Doctor Medico, he's all energy.
The Idealist. Is she alive in a legal sense? How on earth did Dr medico adopt her?
Progeny. What even are they?
Biomancer.

"Aliveness" in the Sentinels verse seems to revolve around the twin ideas of sapience (re: stuff like how discussion of what beings could become a Virtuoso seems to revolve around sapience and what counts as being sapient) and some sort of nebulous idea of the "soul" (re: stuff like the weird Void afterlife thing, Fixer's situation, how Idealist wasn't seen as being truly alive until she got that life energy spark, etc.)
Though granted this still raises about as many questions as it answers.

Visionary w is slowly dying and by tactics is essentially a walking corpse before her death. La capitan who should have died when she fell through that time vortex.
