Capabilities

The user is immune to physical pain of any kind, being unable to feel any sorts of physical pain, allowing them to think clearly and continue to move without even flinching despite a grievous injury. The user can think clearly, continue to move, ignore torture and generally function in situations where the pain would disable a normal person. The user does not react at all when damaged, they can walk onward as they are being damaged or continue fighting without stopping so long as they can move.

Applications

• Enhanced Endurance
• Enhanced Stamina
• Hunger Suppression
• Immunity to Pain Augmentation/Pain Inducement
• Render pain-based attacks useless.

Techniques

• Flinching Immunity
• Reflex Immunity
• Somatic Pain Immunity
• Unblinking

Associations

• Immunity
• Pain Manipulation
• Pain Resistance
• Pain Suppression
• Reactionlessness

Limitations

• Cannot turn the ability "off".
• May only be immune to certain types of pain. Inability to feel a gunshot does not necessarily mean one can weather mental or emotional pain any better, and they may actually seem worse for the lack of contrast to/experience with more normal forms of pain.
• Not feeling pain may leave the user ignorant of crippling injuries, which may disable them without them even knowing why. The user may even accumulate lethal levels of damage without recognizing the signs until it is too late.
  • This is also why congenital analgesia, the real-life version of this superpower, yields a high mortality rate.
• Not feeling pain will not allow the user to perform day to day activities that are reliant on pain signals, such as urination.
• Immunity Bypassing/Negation, depending on the specific nature of this "immunity."

Dollotrons (Batman: Arkham Knight)

With no ability to feel pain, Peyton Westlake/Darkman (Darkman) takes several seconds to realize his hand has been set on fire.

Bane's (The Dark Knight Rises) mask constantly generates an anesthetic gas that renders him immune to pain.

Due to his immortality, Future Zamasu (Dragon Ball Super) is immune to pain, showing no reaction to Goku Black impaling him through the torso.

Yuki Nagato (Haruhi Suzumiya) shows no signs of discomfort after being impaled with multiple swords.

Sango (InuYasha) was given a Shikon Shard to alleviate her bodily pain, allowing her to continue fighting without noticing the near-fatal levels of bleeding until she was told of it.

Courtesy of pain inhibitors in his cyborg body, Raiden (Metal Gear series) is immune to pain as long as they're active, to the extent he shows nothing more than annoyance at losing his left arm and eye.

Dabi (My Hero Academia) suffered severe damage to his nervous system from his self-immolation, resulting in him losing the ability to feel pain, which he considered to be removing his limits.

Zombies (One Piece) like Oars cannot feel pain due to their pain receptors no longer working, which made them unable to react to crippling injuries until it is too late.

Alphen (ToA).png

So long as his iron mask was at least partially intact, Alphen (Tales of Arise) was immune to physical pain...

...making him the only one capable of either wielding the Blazing Sword or enduring Shionne's Curse of Thorns.

Gatasubal (Yu Yu Hakusho) was specifically created by its creator to be unable to feel pain.
