not a comic, so this might not count, but Captain Jack regenerated from a skeleton in Torchwood: Children of Earth.
Does the Hulk need air?

They also (oddly) tackled on some mystical angle to Wolverine's healing factor - he has to fight for his soul in the afterlife each time he dies.
I'm actually not too bothered by that one, since it was an attempt to justify the silliness of how extreme Wolverine's healing factor had become, and to retcon it back to a saner level. Wolverine had made this "deal" with Azrael, the Angel of Death, that he could come back from the dead if he won a fight. But there was a story (that I've read about, but not read) in which Wolverine took action that forfeited that deal. So now his indestructibility is gone; his healing factor is no longer a guaranteed get-out-of-death card. And that's definitely not a bad thing. Sure, the story that led to it is silly, but no sillier than the exaggerated indestructibility it remedied.
Nit-picky point-- That was actually the Skrull imposter (Black Bolt's abduction was shown to be inbetween Silent War and World War Hulk). We don't know if the Skrull's voice was as powerful as the real Black Bolt of if Hulk could have withstood the real thing.
Yeah he needs air all right, the original Hulk was a bit of a mindless brute who tossed around tanks and survived gunshots
Then his strength got pumped up like crazy and he lifted a mountain in a story arc called "Secret Wars"
but he still needs air
Finally in recent years Reed, the Sorcerer and Tony Stark got stick and tired of this idiot turning into a giant muscular green monster so they strap him on a rocket and fire him into space. ..I think Xavier and Blackbolt were involved in a lesser extent but anyway they blast the green nuisance off to the stars. What planet? That's not important. The important thing for Reed et al is Hulk was out of the way
Anyway he ends up on this planet where he experiences a whole world of pain, has to do Russell Crowe impressions fighting to death in arenas.

He gets a gal preggers, fights more wars, they think he's a savior but no, and finally sees his new planet get nuked
[/spoilers]
...Finally he's thinking about getting off the planet
By this stage Hulk's muscles are popping out his ears and he's on full on roid rage. Now he's so strong he's superman strong, he doesn't need to breathe in space anymore.
But he never figured out the flying thing.
Don't worry the Green man tapes himself onto the side of a spacecraft and points it back at Earth.

It was less than that. They didn't have Jack's entire body in the body bag. (It looks like they had his head, part of his chest, part of his arms, and no legs.) The question I have is this -- knowing that they didn't get all of Jack Harkness, there are still parts of him around the Roald Dahl Plass. Could those parts also regenerate in fully-grown Jack Harknesses?
