Why do you think The Undertaker worked where other similar gimmicks failed?

I was looking at some early Undertaker matches and before he became "The American badass" or the "Lord of Darkness", I was wondering why do you think he was able to stick around for soo long as "an undead wrestler" where other gimmicks like Adam Bomb (a superpowered survivor of the Three Mile Incident), or Papa Shango (a voodoo priest) didnt? Both Bryan Clark and Charles Wright had long careers after there original gimmicks faded. They were both very agile for there size, just like taker was. Why do you think that Undertaker was able to get over where other gimmicks failed?
