History Main / NighInvulnerability

* In ''Film/TheCrow'', when he comes back from the dead, Eric is completely invulnerable to being shot or hurt, until [[spoiler:a mystic determines killing the man's crow companion leaves him vulnerable]].

* [[Film/TheBlob1958 The Blob]], [[Film/BewareTheBlob in all three]] [[Film/TheBlob1988 of its film appearances]], is an astoundingly tough, featureless MightyGlacier of a BlobMonster that simply shrugs off anything it can’t assimilate. It barely seems to notice when a high-voltage power line is dropped on it, poisons and acid only discolor it for a moment, fire does absolutely nothing, and blowing it up will just make it into an AsteroidsMonster that is now spread out all over. Kinetic weapons like bullets can knock it back a bit when it’s still small, but with no lasting damage. The only way to stop it is to freeze it solid, and even then, it just becomes a MonsterInTheIce subjected to HarmlessFreezing, and it’ll get right back to work if it thaws. It’s telling that all three movies end with a SequelHook, as the creature has only been frozen and there’s simply no known way to put it down for good.

** ''Divine Protection'': The character itself is not a god, but can survive anything due to intervention of a favorable god/guardian angel/spirit of parent that has been [[AscendedToAHigherPlaneOfExistence 'struck down and become more powerful than you can possibly imagine']].

* ''[[SuperToughness Made of Diamond]]'': The power of the ImplacableMan and TheJuggernaut, [[NoSell nothing does anything to this being]]. [[Radio/TheFrantics Not a boot to the head]], or [[ImmuneToBullets a bullet to]] [[EyeScream the eye]], or [[DropTheHammer a sledgehammer to]] [[GroinAttack the groin]]. Sufficiently strong characters ''might'' be able to [[BlownAcrossTheRoom knock them through a wall or mountain]], but just one hit like that won't have any lasting effect. This is generally what people first think of when referring to this trope.

** White dwarfs and neutron stars, the other type of stellar corpses, are much less tougher than black holes (which easily destroy either one with their tidal forces, and same for a neutron star against s white dwarf), but by human (and non-degenerate matter) standards are still unimaginably tough-- especially neutron stars, being able to [[StarKilling destroy]] [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1986ApJ...306..543S a star]], and even [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorne-Żytkow_object live within one]]. Barring collisions [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_Ia_supernova between]] [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_star_merger them]], or sucking too much matter from a companion star that would cause them to collapse, the only ways to self-destroy them are proton decay (if that's possible at all), imploding into black holes (which would finally evaporate away in Hawking radiation), or the most massive white dwarfs (or rather ''black'' dwarfs, having long cooled down) [[https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.02296 self-destructing as supernovae]] (which would take '''''[[TimeAbyss far longer]]''''' than a black hole fading away).

* UsefulNotes/BlackHoles are, for all intents and purposes physically and utterly invulnerable. Throw anything into the event horizon: hyper-giants, neutron stars, [[WeaponsKitchenSink the kitchen sink]], even another black hole, etc.; and you'd simply end up with a [[FeedItWithFire larger, more powerful]] black hole. The fact of the matter is, [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption nothing can escape its gravitational force]], and the only method we know of to destroy a black hole would be Hawking Radiation. For your typical supermassive black hole, that means it [[TimeAbyss will take upwards of around 10^70 years]] so it would be best to stay away from them. [[YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive Good Luck!]]
** White dwarfs and neutron stars, the other type of stellar corpses, are much less tougher than black holes with the latter easily destroying the former two with their tidal forces (same for a neutron star against s white dwarf), but by human (and non-degenerate matter) standards are unimaginably tough, especially neutron stars, being able to [[StarKilling destroy]] [[http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1986ApJ...306..543S a star]], and even [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorne-Żytkow_object live within one]].
