“Mortal” means “subject to death,” so without qualifiers “immortal” should mean something cannot die at all. But of course everything in the real world dies eventually, so when used on real things it’s being hyperbolic. Since there’s a supernatural being in the comic, all bets are off.
By definition, an immortal should not be able to die, but it depends on the writer. You’re correct that nothing says they can’t experience pain, though.
True. It’s the best outcome if they’re unable to make it home. Gross, though.
But it IS a problem for the astronaut, as “I don’t want to die!” implied they didn’t want to lose sapience. Only a problem until it happens, of course, but then, so is death.
