Line #32 PlayingWith/TheJuggernaut


1	'''Basic Trope''': A character who's damn near unstoppable.
2	* '''Straight''': [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Hellraiser]] is an utterly unstoppable force, having SuperStrength and SuperToughness that lets him shrug off even the strongest attacks. He's attempting to get to the headquarters of the SuperTeam, punching through everything in his way.
3	* '''Exaggerated''':
4	** Hellraiser [[NoSell doesn't even notice]] the desperate attacks of an entire army trying to stop him. He defeats them all with an OffhandBackhand so casual, one wonders if he was just scratching his shoulder.
5	** Hellraiser is so immoveable, not even the laws of physics can do anything to slow him down.
6	* '''Downplayed''': Hellraiser [[ImplacableMan can't be permanently stopped]], but there are ways to slow him down or HoldTheLine against him.
7	* '''Justified''':
8	** Hellraiser has insane superpowers, including SuperToughness, that outclass the heroes' by a mile. Hellraiser also has [[StrongAndSkilled better control over his powers.]]
9	** Hellraiser is [[KillerRobot a machine]], and thus doesn't need to stop for normal things organic life needs. He is eternally sustained by the world around him, and his metallic body makes him practically immune to regular attacks.
10	** Hellraiser is undead and benefits [[RemovingTheHeadOrDestroyingTheBrain from zombie durability]] or [[YouCantKillWhatsAlreadyDead undead immortality]].
11	* '''Inverted''': Hellraiser is easily stopped by something as minor as a gust of wind.
12	* '''Subverted''': Hellraiser is initially unstoppable, but then the main characters find his AchillesHeel and drive him to his knees.
13	* '''Double Subverted''': ...then Hellraiser TurnsRed and the AchillesHeel is no longer effective.
14	* '''Parodied''':
15	** Maximilian Khan, stage name "Hellraiser", sits in the sidelines during a football game, requesting the coach to let him play. The coach refuses as he wants the match to be fair. When they begin to lose, the coach puts Max on the field who then turns the tide in their favor.
16	** Once he gets inside of the super hero lair, Hellraiser starts to say something, and then suddenly realizes he forgot why he was coming. He then apologizes and walks through the walls outside.
17	* '''Zig Zagged''':
18	** Hellraiser suffers from periodic VillainDecay. Whether or not he is unstoppable, and how unstoppable he is, will [[DependingOnTheWriter depend on the writer]]. At one point the entire Justice Consortium couldn't even scratch him. Another time, he's defeated by [[AchillesHeel striking a pressure point]].
19	** The SharedUniverse has well established CharacterTiers. Hellraiser will casually CurbStompBattle street-level heroes. {{Flying Brick}}s and {{Reality Warper}}s are able to harm and annoy him to an extent, but not enough. [[PhysicalGod Planetary, universal]], and other {{Invincible Hero}}es make short work of Hellraiser.
20	* '''Averted''': Hellraiser is a normal member of the RoguesGallery who happens to have impressive, but not overwhelming, strength and durability.
21	* '''Enforced''':
22	** "We need to create characters that far outclass the main cast to establish PowerLevels."
23	** "We need a HopelessBossFight against a major villain to show how strong he is."
24	** "We need a bad guy that the heroes chase through the duration of the plot to keep things interesting."
25	** "We need a big threat to justify a CrisisCrossover."
26	* '''Lampshaded''':
27	** "Your efforts are pathetic and futile. Nothing can stop me."
28	** "Hellraiser just won't go down!"
29	* '''Invoked''': "I assure you, Hellraiser, this serum and armor will make you unstoppable."
30	* '''Exploited''': TheMaker wants to test the heroes' resolve against overwhelming odds, so they grant Hellraiser unstoppable power.
31	* '''Defied''': After [[AwesomenessByAnalysis analyzing Hellraiser's fighting style and weaknesses,]] the team's OmnidisciplinaryScientist creates weapons and gear made to quickly incapacitate Hellraiser, and gives a couple to each member of the SuperTeam.
32	* '''Discussed''': "We have to stop Hellraiser!" "Stop him? STOP HIM!? What do you think we've been trying to do all this time?!"
33	* '''Conversed''': "[[CosmicDeadline The episode's almost over,]] and Hellraiser is still going. I'm sure they'll [[DeusExMachina find some way to take him down]] soon..."
34	* '''Deconstructed''': Hellraiser the Uncontainable is [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin literally uncontainable]]. He's so rampant that both the heroes and villains [[EnemyMine decide to form a temporary truce]] as he poses a threat to both of their goals. While they cannot harm him, they easily overwhelm him.
35	* '''Reconstructed''': Hellraiser constantly deals with group fights, as he is well aware of his own power. He is skilled in the ConservationOfNinjutsu, and knows how to handle himself. Their efforts amount to a rain of arrows clanking on a tank roller.
36	* '''Played for Laughs''': Hellraiser charges at a police checkpoint, and [[HeroicWannabe Raccoon Kid]] gets ready to stop him. Despite his best efforts, he fails to even get Hellraiser to notice him.
37	* '''Played for Drama''': The main characters feel completely worthless after their failure to stop Hellraiser. It gets so bad that they have to accept help from a lowly [[SpiderManSendUp Tarantu-Dude]] villain [[ShockAndAwe Electro]][[EmpoweredBadassNormal -]][[TheBrute Man]] just because Electro-Man has both the brawns AND the extra lightning powers to match Hellraiser!
38	* '''Played for Horror''': Any fight against the Hellraiser plays out like a MookHorrorShow.
