Resurrection Man and Kim Rebecki to safety back in Metropolis. The demon remarks that Resurrection Man's soul grows more powerful with each resurrection, and is curious to see what the result of this will be. After he leaves, Resurrection Man and Kim ponder their future. Powers It was confirmed by Vandal Savage and the Phantom Stranger that Mitch Shelley has lived many lives across history, dying only to be reincarnated later. In each new life, he gained access to the memories of his past lives, making him essentially the same person living throughout history. What gave him this unique ability is unknown. The Phantom Stranger implied that in each life, Mitch had a single super-power, which might also be connected to why he gains a different power each time he resurrects. In his current life, Mitch Shelley was injected by sub-atomic "tektites" based on the same microscopic technology that grants Vandal Savage his own immortality. The tektites reacted to Mitch's unique nature, giving him not only the ability to resurrect fully healed from all forms of death (including cremation and seeming disintegration), but to have a different additional super-power each time he does so. When he next dies and resurrects, this power will be exchanged for another. The time it takes Mitch Shelley to resurrect varies with each occurrence. The process may take moments, minutes, or hours. Beyond this unique immortality, Mitch seems to usually have only one super-power at a time, though sometimes the singular power can be used in a variety of ways. There seems to be no limit to the nature of the power Shelley might possess. His temporary abilities have ranged from minor shape-shifting (the ability to alter his skin color) or heightened perception (X-ray vision) to energy/matter manipulation. It was hypothesized by some characters that the power Mitch gets with his resurrection is often a defensive response influenced by the method of his previous death. After dying in a fire, Mitch resurrected with flame-based abilities and immunity to burns. After being atomized in a nuclear blast, Mitch resurrected as a sentient shadow who was only tangible when he concentrated, meaning he had a body that couldn't be injured (except by bright light). When he died from pain inducement, Shelley resurrected as a woman incarnation with higher pain tolerance, then reverted to his former physical form during his next resurrection. Shelley himself has no control over
