Dean Winchester faced death so many times in Supernatural that it almost became a running theme. From the literal trips to Hell and Purgatory to fending off apocalypses, survival was owed more to his skills as a hunter and his love for family. Even when the odds were grim, his bond with Sam and the mission to save humanity gave Dean a purpose to keep going. Although Dean met his demise in the series finale, his legacy as a fighter who has defied death countless times puts him at the top of TV's list of ultimate survivors.
