Thus, Nicholai abruptly departs. Along the way he falls into a sink hole, lands in a sewer passage full of poisonous gas. This gas also happens to be flammable and the place goes up like a match when Nikkie stumbles over a stick of TNT left by bank robbers who's heist ran afoul due to the viral outbreak. He is then blasted clear across the park and lands in a ravine filled with bees. Zombie bees. He will emerge without a scratch in the final act.
Aha, I am invincible! Unfortunately, my helicopter seems not to be... (sent blasting off again)

Unlike my colleagues, I seem to have a tendency to stay alive. Since this morning I've been bitten, shot, bombed, electrocuted, almost drowned, almost fallen to my death, and strangled. Rasputin wasn't so lucky! But here I am, exposing myself to radiation. Why not?! Let's add to the list! Maybe I can get burned, stabbed, and poisoned before the day is done.
It'll take more than being tied to a lit keg of explosives and tossed into a pit of acid filled with mutant, acid-resistant flying piranhas equipped with flamethrowers and battle axes while venomous, mechanical, missile-launching Morris dancers armed with liquid hydrogen harpoon guns are overhead; riding giant rabid killer bees with side-mounted death rays to kill Othar Trygvassen!
But it turns out I am not such a one as stays dead forever, especially when I only fell eighty floors to the pavement. I am made of sterner stuff than that.

Cuz when it feels like a kick in the teeth, I can take it
Throw your stones and you won't see me break it
Say what you want
Take your shots
You're setting me free with one more kick in the teeth!

Look, one time when we were little, we went iceskating together, and she fell through the ice. She was under there for three hours, and when they pulled her out, not only was she still alive, she was pregnant.

Don't get up. You have been shot. Sadly, it was not fatal. I have removed the bullet... and three others, a blowgun dart, two shark's teeth, a tip of a bayonet, a twisted paperclip, and a meager handful of buckshot. You may want to learn how to duck.

It’s been my privilege to fight side by side with Captain Cortez since the Battle of Steel Cross back in 853. In that time, I’ve seen him surpass virtually everything the Apothecariate taught me about the augmented physiology of the Adeptus Astartes. To my knowledge, only two of the small bones in his right foot are still intact. The rest of his skeleton has been shattered at one time or another, and most of his body is covered with a thick layer of scar tissue. I’ve seen him lead a charge into a breach with a broken back, fight for six weeks without food or water, and rouse his men for one last desperate push with four-fifths of his lifeblood pooled around his feet. There’s something else there, something keeping him alive when logic dictates that he should have died long ago. I can only conclude the Emperor has him marked for a grand fate indeed.

This raving creature had to be silenced, but doing so proved maddeningly impossible. How had he survived the stockades, the icy waters, and the knives I delivered so enthusiastically into his back? How had he returned, time and time again, to rouse the townsfolk with his wild speculations and prophecies?

A [felon] well known in our town twisted off one day and added attempted murder to his curriculum vitae by hitting his lady du jour in the head a couple of times with an axe. Not one to leave a job half-done, he dragged her out to the lake, wired her up to a cinderblock and shoved her off into the water. Wonder of wonders, she survived.

Hunting guides will still tell you that the minimum round to equip yourself with to ward off a charging bear is the 44 Magnum. Bears are just so huge, and also polar bears specifically, just have so much fat that it almost acts as kind of a lardy type of armor and they also have a decently thick coat of fur on top of that.

Darcy: (off-panel) You are nowhere NEAR the hunter you claim to be...or you would clearly know-

Professor Willow: That's odd.
The Brigadier: What is it?
Professor Willow: Wilkins, you must have made a mistake. This man (the Doctor) hasn't fallen from two hundred feet.
The Brigadier: Well, he certainly did, I saw him fall!
Professor Willow: But there doesn't appear to be a single bone broken.
