Nigh Invulnerability / Fan Works

• The Bridge has this for both franchises. Ascended alicorns and earth ponies are much more durable than most might think and are much tougher than other Equestrians. Natural alicorns are even tougher, having the abilities of an earth pony increased up to eleven. Kaiju are naturally tough as well, even when tuned down into Equestrian or human bodies in the Equestria Girls world. Godzilla Junior withstood getting bashed through a brick wall by an enraged Luna and promptly got right back up.
• Child of the Storm, being a world in the middle stage of Superhero Prevalence Stages and well on the way to the later stage, the appearance of this is really kind of unsurprising. Examples include Thor, Loki, Asgardians and Olympians in general, the Hulk, someone in an Iron Man armour and Kryptonians.
• Citadel of the Heart:
  • The Diatrex species as a whole, no thanks to them being modeled purposefully after the infamous Carnivores Tyrannosaurus rex, in which the only way initially known to kill them is by a shot directly in their eye. However, they fall victim to the brute force Mirror M displays, so how do they keep up? The Omega Diatrex; the Omega Diatrex is an enhanced specimen so powerful that even Phase 3 Mirror M struggles against it, to the point what would be fatal injuries on anything else, the Omega Diatrex shrugs off. Highlights include having one of Mirror M's scutes shoved into it's eye piercing the other end of the skull, a painfully dislocated jaw, broken bones in both arms, and a tail so heavily broken it bends in ways it's not supposed to. All of these injuries inflicted are mute, however, unless it's Kernel Sphere can be taken out. However, to even grab said Kernel Sphere has Mirror M shove an absurdly volatile explosive into the Omega Diatrex, pick up and throw it into high orbit, explode into smithereens, and then grabbing the Kernel Sphere once it's fully exposed. Even in spite of that, the Kernel Sphere has to be crushed using both of Mirror M's hands, with Mirror M forcefully overclocking the stimulant implants on his arms to where his muscles bulge to impossible degrees to gain the Super-Strength required to destroy the Kernel Sphere in his crushing grip. After all is said and done, the fact Mirror M is still alive after having fought tooth to claw with a Worthy Opponent such as this also attests to how durable Mirror M himself is. He is supposed to be an incarnation of an Ultimate Lifeform after all.
• Fallout: Equestria has Steelhooves and most other Canterlot ghouls, who regenerate when exposed to taint or radiation. Not to mention his Powered Armor. They're still vulnerable to decapitation though.
• Fate of the Clans: Servants are spirits. Because of this, they're incredibly durable and conventional weaponry is useless on them. They can only be harmed by attacks with a magical, spiritual, or conceptual enchantment. Include their Class and Personal skills and they can be a pain to fight. A weapon forged before the Servant was born will also do the trick but it can't have been broken or it'll forever lose the necessary amount of Mystery. Anything contaminated with magical energy can also damage them.
• In Power Girl fic A Force of Four, Kara Zor-L is as incredibly tough as any Kryptonian.
• Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic Gankona, Unnachgiebig, Unità: Like in canon, almost nothing can kill the countries. It's due to their ability to regenerate and somehow survive just about anything...except for the killing of their lands.
• In Hellsister Trilogy, the main character can withstand anything less potent than an exploding star. Unfortunately, she keeps running into enemies like Satan Girl, Mordru or Darkseid who are even more physically powerful or are able to bypass her invulnerability.
• In Imaginary Seas, Percy has three forms of invulnerability. Owning the pelt of the Nemean Lion grants him invulnerability to man-made weapons, he has the Curse of Achilles (aka Andreias Amarantos), and the blessing of his father in the form of Poseidon Asphalios, making him immune to damage so long as he's on the sea. Unfortunately for him, all of them are useless against the Greek gods.
• In The Immortal Game, Earth ponies are portrayed as the physically strongest and toughest race. Applejack takes those qualities up to eleven, and though her massive degree of Super-Strength is useful, her greatest asset is an immensely powerful Healing Factor that allows her to recover from just about anything. She also wears an armor that is also almost indestructible (yet not as much as Applejack herself). Naturally she is the Stone Wall of the group, and her fellow Mane Six members can safely take refuge behind her, knowing that she can withstand any attack.
  • Every alicorn is also this to some extent (as alicorns are also presented as Physical Gods in this setting), but none quite as much as King Titan. Alicorns' power increases with age, and Titan is by far the oldest alicorn...
• In Kara of Rokyn, Lex Luthor finds a way to transfer Superman's powers to Starfire -nothing to do with the Teen Titan- and Cyber, making both women able to tank nukes.
  "Quite right. We could hit those women with thermonuclear missiles. So could you. But if their powers really are on a level with Superman's, we wouldn't be doing much more than throwing beer cans at them."
• In Superman/Evangelion crossover Last Child of Krypton, Shinji Ikari is Superman with everything it entails. At one point he gets hit with one dozen of nukes and survives.
• The Last Daughter has Taylor. The only thing shown to hurt her is the explosion from killing Behemoth. Even suplexing Behemoth from outer space doesn't hurt her in any significant way.
• Later, Traitor: In Maloof's mind, his mental version of Mikhail is a brute that can shrug off any physical attack. It takes a severe electrocution to knock him out, and even then that only lasts for a few minutes before he's back up again. It's revealed that since everyone at camp thinks Mikhail is an untouchable fighter, he's completely unstoppable in Maloof's mind.
• In Neither a Bird nor a Plane, it's Deku!, Izuku is Kryptonian and almost nothing in the setting can cause him serious physical harm. He has been stomped on by robot T. rexes, shrugged off point-blank explosions, blasted square in the chest with a gun designed to rip apart atoms, and exposed to gas that kills any Earth life in seconds and can melt any metal on Earth without even a scratch. Aside from his physical resilience, he's also resistant to extreme temperatures, going out in near zero degree weather in clothing intended for fall. He's so tough that it often works to his advantage offensively, as most things will break with a head-on collision with him due to how much tougher he is.
• The Good Hunter from The Night Unfurls feels no pain and can simply resurrect upon death. The one time someone manages to kill him via an assassination only succeeds in making the Hunter angry.
• Pony POV Series:
  • The Alicorns and Draconequi, who are Physical Gods. While they can die, it takes an unholy amount of punishment to do so and being spirits, the only way to TRULY kill one is with Entropy's power or special supernatural weapons. Otherwise just their mortal form is destroyed and they survive, only they can no longer manifest in the mortal world. They're the Made of Diamond and Healing Factor types, as they're extremely hard to hurt and can regenerate from nearly any damage (Alicorns by regenerating, Draconequi by erasing damage). Rancor, the Draconequi of Passions, Violence, and Revenge, has the added bonus of being immune to physical violence, meaning the only way to actually hurt her is to use methods that don't qualify as violence. However, being a young Draconequus (relatively speaking) she hasn't learned to erase damage yet and has to recharge herself to heal from damage.
  • The Elders. They're The Omnipotent and Eldritch Abomination level beings, so killing them is next to impossible and even avatars of them can be ungodly difficult to take down. In addition, they're Multiversal Singularities, meaning even if you kill one they're still alive in every other universe they exist in.
  • Then there's Santa Hooves, who is literally impossible to touch with anything but good intentions. As a result, any attack just bounces off, phases through, or is simply ignored. This includes Discord's power. How he does it is unknown, and even Discord is completely shocked and frustrated by it.
• In Raindancer, Izuku's Quirk grants him the "Made of Liquid" version, making physical attacks virtually useless against him since they pass through his body harmlessly and trying to crush him just results in him splitting into droplets that can quickly reform or even attack others. He can be struck if he's caught off guard while he's flesh and blood, but he can quickly heal away any injuries by returning to liquid form.
• The Secret Return of Alex Mack: Several heroes and monsters show degrees of this.
  • Alex in her silvery form can feel pain, but being basically made of liquid, she's Immune to Bullets and can survive being squashed under cars and buildings without lasting harm.
  • The Downingtown Blob Monster is apparently immune to kinetic force, and highly resistant to fire or electricity since it will immediately consume the damaged cells to minimise its losses (and will then keep eating everything around it to regenerate and grow).
  • The silicate monsters are immune to pretty much everything except being injected with specific radioactive isotopes such as strontium-90. And possibly starvation.
  • Gojira shrugs off massed fire from tanks, ships, and multiple nuclear weapons.
• Sonic X: Dark Chaos:
  • Lord Maledict, being both a Physical God and a Humanoid Abomination, has this. He completely no sells every single attack from Sonic and his friends, even in their Super forms. However, because of his sheer power, his physical body is slowly dying off on its own.
  • Astorath the Prince of Darkness is so physically strong he's completely unaffected by warship-class weapons fired directly at him. It's why Cream fights dirty and throws Cheese directly into his eyes.
• In The Story to End All Stories, the Nothing appears to be unstoppable.
• In Superman story Superman of 2499: The Great Confrontation, the invulnerability of the Els varies after centuries interbreeding with humans and sometimes Amazons. The direct descendants of the first Superman and the original Supergirl are virtually undamageable; their relatives tend to be less tough.
• In Supergirl/Evangelion story Superwomen of Eva 2: Lone Heir of Krypton, Asuka Langley Sohryu is Power Girl and later Supergirl. She soon realizes she is unusually sturdy...
  The huge hunk of what was now little more than scrap metal impacted the bottom of a tall stack of junked cars, which began to wobble dangerously. Recovering her balance, Asuka turned around… just in time to see an avalanche of metal and glass come falling down upon her.
  The cascade of ruined cars soundly buried the Second Child, but the onslaught wasn't quite done yet. The gas tank of every old vehicle that was sent to the dump was supposed to be drained before it was consigned to a place where it could be left to rust until it was sold for scrap or parts. However, the dump happened to employ a few rather lazy individuals who didn't care if gasoline leaked out of corroded tanks and contaminated the land, and who didn't believe anything would ever set off the combustible liquid.
  A tiny spark from all metal scraping against metal formed and, by sheer misfortune, happened to drift into an open gas tank. An orange fireball leapt up with a great woomph! sound, billowing inky black smoke into the air, and several similar blasts followed, in a cascade effect as explosion begat explosion. In seconds, the fallen stack of cars was a great pile of twisted, burning metal.
  For several seconds, said pile lay there, smoldering undisturbed and looking about as serene as such a thing could possibly look.
  Then a car was thrown into the sky as Asuka burst out of the great mess, flying into the air to hover a few feet about the pile of burning cars.
  "Holy…" she breathed as she looked at the devastation she had emerged from, then looked down at her hands.
  Despite the amount of punishment her too successful attempt at lifting the heaviest thing in the dump had put her through, there wasn't a scratch or a burn anywhere on her. She'd known she was tougher than normal humans—crashing through a building and not receiving the slightest injury had been enough to prove that to her—but this was beyond the pale. Having a pile of cars fall on top of her and then burst into flame hadn't even hurt in the slightest!
  Hovering there, Asuka silently began to wonder if perhaps she could have survived if Shinji had never sent Unit One plunging into the molten lava of Mount Asuma.
• In Supergirl (2015) story Survivors, Kara and her cousin have this power. Kara is shot by a trigger-happy farmer shortly after crash-landing... and she doesn't even notice the bullets.
• The Rubric Marines from Thousand Shinji are nearly indestructible due to the severe technologic gap. Their Powered Armors are too sturdy and advanced.
• The Three Legacies: Kaito has a legacy called 'Immunity' which allows him to not get hurt too badly in any fight.
• The Hidden One in Ultraman Moedari can literally take on any form he wishes, making it almost impossible to harm him.
  • Mater Mundaram is not made a physical matter, so she is also nigh invincible.
  • On a somewhat lesser scale, Ultraman Finem can survive almost anything, including being smashed flat and is able to turn into a black hole.
  • Ultraman Lugeno is very heavily protected when in his Lucis form, so much so that throwing a star at him is useless.
    • Ultrawoman Lunaram can actually fly through a star and convert it into energy for a fight when in Regina mode.
• Subverted in Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Supergirl crossover The Vampire of Steel. Kara's friends believe her to be completely invulnerable, but Supergirl warns them that, being magical creatures, vampires can in fact damage her.
• What About Witch Queen?: in "Steel and ice" it turns out that Queen Elsa can be cut, decapitated, strangled and have part of the brain removed and just plain won't die. Madsen and the assassin who tried to kill this person both speculate that only destroying the heart might finish this person off.
• Paul in With Strings Attached. He needs it, since he's holding a shitload of energy inside him and would explode quite thoroughly without it. He is literally Made of Diamond; his hair, nails, and teeth are either diamond or diamond-like. Presumably his bones are diamond too. He has so far been invulnerable to most everything, including dragon fire, but he has no resistance to intangible things like wraiths, and the Hunter's BFS once cut him just enough to draw blood.
• The World is Filled with Monsters: Blightweaver the Giant Spider. Conventional weapons bounce off its shell. When the dangerous and volatile moonfire is used to take it down, after having been used to spectacularly incinerate its brood, it does absolutely nothing to it. Ultimately, the only thing that manages to harm it is one of its own offspring's fangs, driven into its eye.
