Durnik was a normal man who died and came back to life with sorcerer powers (which makes him ageless so semi immortal) are you thinking of when he was infused with the Orb’s power to battle a demon? That’s the only thing I can think of that made him godlike.
Errand was raised to godhood in the series but he was the god that was meant to be instead of Torak. I don’t think he counts because he was immortal before hand (it’s implied he was centuries old at least, he survived a direct blast of dragon’s fire, he also did a bunch of other stuff I can’t remember at the moment) as he was a potential god before hand I’d say he was like Jesus in the OP’s example. Only the ‘good’ prophecy being destroyed could have prevented him from becoming a god.
Doctor Who’s old teacher Borusa won the game of Rassilon for which the prize was eternal life - turned into a statue, and kept alive and self aware forever.
Mawdryn tried to steal the Timelord secret of regeneration and thus lived in constant pain, unable to die.
From Babylon 5, I think the guy’s name was Jason Trueheart, maybe Ironheart…something like that. He was a rogue telepath, and through some mystic process evolved into a “Being of Light” for lack of a better term.
Kes, from ST: Voyager did something vaguely similar.
Gord of Greyhawk, from a series of AD&D books by E. Gary Gygax…think he became a sort of demigod.
Milo Morai, from the Horesclans series…one of several “Undying” people in that universe, but his origins are unclear…and he can be killed, by drowning…but otherwise he’d live forever.
Jean Grey, of the X-Men. She became the Phoenix–some sort of immortal primal force of the universe.
Wolverine, also of the X-men. Dude regenerates to such an extent that killing him is virtually impossible. I am sorta curious as to what would happen if you split him in half, vertically. Would each half regenerate, and now you’ve got a tag-team?
Actually, the Romulus thing would have worked in my story; it’s close to Enoch & Elijah. I’ve moved past that passage, but I’ll make a note of it anyway.
Depending on which variety of the Camelot legend you like, King Arthur is taken away from his last battle with Mordred, badly wounded, to recuperate and await Britain’s call if he’s ever needed again, as “the once and future king.”
Well, for one, it would be damn near impossible to do that. Since he’s whole skeleton is coated in adamantium, you’d have to have an adamantium blade of some kind, and to top that off it would have to be swung by someone really strong.
But let’s say The Hulk is really pissed off (again…) and decides to chop him in half, I’m guessing whichever half has more mass is the one that would regenerate.
In Mike Carey’s Lucifer graphic novel series, there is Elaine Belloc. We first meet her as a fairly ordinary 13-year-old schoolgirl in London, whose only “un-ordinariness” seems to be some sort of psychic power. By the end of the series, she has…
