Supernatural Durability

< Peak Human Durability
 View source


"It's called unbreakable skin, fool."
― Luke Cage (Marvel Comics)
"We've trained our bodies such that we can turn them into 'iron carapaces' if we so choose..."
― Blueno describing Tekkai/Iron Body (One Piece)
"And she just doesn't get hurt! When she's wrecking the towns, sinking battleships or eats direct gun or cannon fire. Her tough as nails body simply doesn't suffer as much as a scratch! As you said, she really is an iron balloon!"
― Capone Luke "Gang" Bege on Charlotte Linlin/Big Mom (One Piece)
"You think a little heat is gonna bother me? I'm Lobo, I ride through the cold of space and the heat of blazing suns!!"
― Lobo after tanking Superman's Heat Vision (DC Comics)
"All that for a drop of blood."
― Thanos after Iron Man's repeated assault (Marvel Cinematic Universe)

Also Called

  • Advanced/Immense/Mega/Unnatural Durability
  • High-Level Superhuman Durability
  • Near/Nigh-Absolute Durability
  • Near/Nigh/Semi-Invulnerability
  • Super/Superhuman Durability
  • Super/Superhuman/Supernatural Toughness
  • Supernaturally Dense/Resilient Tissue

Capabilities

The user's body tissue, skin, muscles, bones, etc. are extremely resilient, allowing them to withstand harmful forces on the body such as crushing weights, impacts, pressures, changes in temperature, etc. Also, users usually possess drastically enhanced levels of strength and stamina, due to how durable their body has become, allowing them to resist tearing muscles and/or breaking their bones.

Applications

Levels

  • Peak Human Durability: User has conditioned durability at the peak of human limits. Users can resist being jump by multiple assailants, hit by a wooden bat, survive stab/bullet wounds, and even survive against superhumans. Users can survive explosions equivalent to grenades. They can fall from small buildings without breaking their bones. Users can endure pain over 35 decibels to 50.
  • Enhanced Durability: User's durability is beyond peak human limits, but not too high superhuman levels. Bullets ricochet from them, survive getting hit by most speeding vehicles, small to moderate explosions (pounds to tens of tons TNT equivalent). They can endure events that humans are less likely to survive but are not impossible.
  • Supernatural Durability: User's durability is greatly superhuman, being in six main types.
    • Type I: Users can resist being hit by trucks, buses, trains, and speeds over subsonic speeds, endure scorching temperatures that can make humans die, or freeze liquids in minutes, moderate to massive explosions (tens to hundreds of tons TNT equivalent), getting shot by piercing ammunition.
    • Type ll: Users can resist getting hit by objects moving at the speed of sound. Endure massive to atomic explosions (hundreds to kilotons TNT equivalent), getting shot by missiles, most temperatures not commonly created on Earth, less destructive natural disasters.
    • Type lll: Users can resist being damaged by objects of supersonic speeds, atomic to hydrogen explosions worth of energy (kilotons to hundreds of megatons), endure natural disasters and created ones, and some dangerous forms of energy (radiation, chemicals, toxins, etc), tolerate armor penetration shots and survive asteroid impacts.
    • Type lV: Users are close to near-indestructible, able to endure being hit by objects at hypersonic speeds, resist enormous hydrogen explosions ever recorded, and theorized to volcanic eruption worth of energy. Tolerate temperatures near kelvin and below negatives worth, endure some cosmological/energy events (solar storms, wide-scale asteroid fallout). Users can even survive a planetary collision.
    • Type V: Users are virtually invulnerable to all who encounter them. They can endure being hit by projectiles near or at the speed of light, endure gigatons of energy and explosions that can destroy continents, planets, or planetary systems. Endure temperatures most inorganic materials won't survive and survive highly destructive universal events (supernovas, hypernovas, high particle collisions, and around black holes).
    • Type Vl: Users are considered indestructible with few exceptions. Able to survive the elimination of a galaxy, universe, and the multiverse and entities near absolute level, rare cosmological events, and objects beyond the speed of light. Only physical entities/forces close to near-omnipotent can defeat and injure the user.
  • Invulnerability: User cannot be injured by any form of physical damage.

Variations

Associations

Limitations

  • Not complete invulnerability.

  • May have a set duration.
  • User may sacrifice flexibility and speed for strength and durability.
  • User may be notably heavier than their overall size would suggest.
  • May complicate receiving medical treatment.
