In normal living things, pain functions as a warning system for the body that tells it to try and get away from whatever is causing the sensation. However, sometimes someone can't feel pain for whatever reason, usually due to nerve damage or other factors. Fiction likes to explore this idea and will often explore the consequences in a very philosophical way.
For humor purposes, a man may sometimes gain a temporary version when Distracted by the Sexy.
As in Real Life, a person like this is very likely to accidentally injure themselves and not realize it for some time. In fiction these people also tend to develop a skewed perception of reality and may take to killing people for fun.note There's a slight nugget of truth to this. Slight. People in pain have a tendency to show more empathy to the suffering of others, while people on pain killers shows a decrease in empathy. However, there is no literature that shows that sufferers of congenital analgesia show any anti-social tendencies above the normal rates. Other times they're simply shown as tragic individuals who are literally out of touch with the rest of us.
It may become a Disability Superpower if the advantages are played up far more than the disadvantages. This is also a common feature for Super Soldiers, especially disposable ones. In such cases, the massive crippling drawbacks of not feeling pain tend to be downplayed, or, if addressed, aren't seen as a problem since they won't be alive long enough for them to have any effect.
It's also a common trait of androids and other robotic characters. As artificial constructs with computer "brains", there's no need for any warning system about damage they've received to actually be unpleasant, just like how real-life non-sapient computers don't feel pain from error reports. If an artificial lifeform can feel pain in the same way we understand it, that's a sure sign of Ridiculously Human Robots.
Contrast Frozen Face, also stemming from nerve damage.
See also Made of Iron and Nigh-Invulnerability for when a person resists damage, but may still feel something. This trope may result in a Major Injury Underreaction, though the latter is usually a temporary state of affairs. When a character with this trope is thought to be immune to emotional pain as well, they may eventually break down and ask Did You Think I Can't Feel?. When a character feels pain just fine but simply ignores it to keep going when a normal person would be debilitated, that's an example of Heroic Willpower and not this trope.
Can be a sub-trope to Master of Your Domain wherein the character is technically capable of feeling pain but can turn it off by an act of conscious will.

Terminators are robots encased in flesh, and don't register pain at all from damage to either the flesh or their actual bodies, although in Terminator 2: Judgment Day when the T-800 is asked if his (many) bullet wounds hurt, he states flatly, "I sense injury. The data could be called pain.", suggesting that what they receive is more like an error or damage report than a true pain-like sensation.

Kane had this as part of his power set when he first introduced. The novel Journey into Darkness, an attempt to put together all of the bizarre crap they've thrown into his backstory, tried to set up the reason behind this as being because he has a condition called HSAN, which stands for Hereditary Sensory and Autonomous Neuropathy. Essentially, he was supposed to be completely incapable of feeling pain. However, even the book mentions that while his case is severe, it does seem to have some limits. Like everything else with Kane, this has been either forgotten or outright ignored as the years have gone by.

Astro Boy: Being a robot, Astro is supposed to be immune to pain, though this was sometimes portrayed inconsistently over the manga's long run, possibly justified by his AI developing to be more humanlike. Indeed, for example, in Volume 7 when Hamegg has Astro in the circus, he beats him with an electrical whip. It very clearly hurts Astro, as he cries out in pain and begs him to stop before collapsing.

Used to disturbing effect in Tokyo Ghoul.
Juuzou Suzuya mentions that he doesn't experience pain, allowing him to completely ignore things like being disemboweled and getting his leg cut off. It turns out to be the result of his beloved Mama training him to no longer feel pain, through a childhood of extensive torture. Oh, yeah, did we mention he was castrated during his childhood? No wonder this guy is so screwed up.
The Aogiri Executive Noro, who doesn't respond to being peppered with ammunition, stabbed through the stomach, kicked in half, and breaking his own neck to look at something behind him. Even other Ghouls think he's creepy.
In the sequel, Seidou Takizawa claims that he doesn't feel pain anymore because he's used to it.

In Area 88, Greg is impervious to pain. In the manga and OVA, he sterilizes a shrapnel wound by pouring alcohol directly on it. In a manga issue that did not make it stateside, he sterilizes a wound by pouring gunpowder from a bullet into it, then igniting the gunpowder with a lit cigarette.

Played realistically in an issue of X-Men. Professor X feels no pain in his lower legs because he's paraplegic. He was crawling through a tunnel and caught a snag; when he ripped himself free, he didn't realize until later that he had ripped the skin on his leg and was worried that he'd bleed to death before reaching the X-Men.

Batman: Arkham Knight: Professor Pyg, the villain of the side-mission "The Perfect Crime", kidnaps victims and surgically alters them into genderless lobotomized "Dollotrons". The Dollotrons are unique from the other enemies in that they lost the ability to feel pain as a result of Pyg's surgeries, allowing them to get up and shrug off Batman's attacks, necessitating that the latter knock them out directly. In game terms, Batman has to land a Combo Special Move, beatdown, or environmental attack; just beating them up means they'll get up again.

Arrow:
Season 2's Story Arc is built around Mirakuru, a Super Serum developed as part of a World War II Japanese military program. People who use it become Super Soldiers, which gives them super strength and a massively impressive Healing Factor, which together means that they just shrug off whatever they're hit with, not even seeming to notice it.
In the Season 3 episode "Corto Maltese", Thea Queen is undergoing Training from Hell from her supervillain father Malcolm Merlyn. At the start of the episode, he pours scalding hot tea over her hand and she begs him to stop. At the end of the episode her brother Oliver is surprised when someone accidently spills a cup of hot coffee on Thea's hand and she doesn't even flinch.
A Season 5 Villain of the Week named Derek Sampson is exposed to a chemical bath that seems to act as a poor man's Mirakuru, enhancing his strength and making him completely impervious to pain. However, unlike with the Mirakuru, his Healing Factor is slow, and as such he's taken down with a dose of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome — just because he can't feel his tendons being cut, doesn't mean he's not immobilized when it happens.

Haven:
Nathan Wuornos. Initially he calls it idiopathic*meaning no known cause neuropathy, but it's a Trouble: a supernatural curse, within the context of this show, that prevents him from feeling anything. He can still feel Audrey Parker, who has Anti-Magic powers, which he once uses to identify a shapeshifting impostor. It's not discussed, but it seems to be coupled with a sort of minor healing factor. Even after getting his hands severely burned by a red-hot gun, he requires little more than a bandage and it heals with no scars. This is likely why he suffers from few of the side afflictions you would expect from someone with no pain. Some examples of this in action include:
In the episode dealing with a "Groundhog Day" Loop, Nathan is hit by a car. The injury is fatal and he collapses not long afterwards, but he is able to get up after the initial impact and claim to be fine.
Nathan shares some childhood instances where he didn't realize he was injured. One time he crashed his sled into a tree, and not realizing he was injured got up to keep going. It wasn't until another girl started screaming that he realized he had bones sticking out of him and was covered in blood. He also mentions a time Duke and other kids slapped tacks into his back (under the guise of congratulatory pats on the back) placing bets on how many they could fit in (16) and once again, he didn't notice until someone screamed at the blood.
However, as Troubles show up on a regular cycle, Nathan felt pain and other sensations normally in early childhood and also for an inter-Troubles period of late adolescence/youth... just not during the period of the show.
The show also highlights how this impacts his everyday life, too. Once he and Audrey get comfortable with each other, he asks her to check the temperature of his coffee so he doesn't burn his mouth. And in "Close to Home", a shot of his kitchen reveals it to be covered in notes reminding him his stove burners go from warm to hot, and that the knives in his knife block are sharp. He also has handle mitts on all of the pots on the stove, despite it not actually being on.
In the final episode, when all Troubles are neutralized, he permanently regains his ability to feel.
A bad guy who stole Nathan's ability is defeated because his arrogance over not being able to feel pain makes him subscribe to The Law of Diminishing Defensive Effort, and he's downed by bullets.
Nathan's biological father Max Hansen had this too. Max's former cellmate explained that he used it to be nearly unstoppable in prison brawls.

One of House's patients had CIPA — congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis. The episode makes a point of portraying the condition relatively realistically — in a scene which is as interesting as it is hilarious, she and House (who is in constant chronic pain in his right leg) get into a whine-off over which of them has the worse deal, with the patient making clear the real downsides of her condition: she has to wake up every morning and check manually to see if she scratched her corneas while sleeping, she can't run anywhere without examining her toes for swelling, she needs to set an alarm to remember that she has to use the bathroom, etc. She also ends up suffering a multitude of problems at once, not realizing anything until something goes wrong (i.e. she turns out to have a severe fever and doesn't realize it until she suddenly passes out), with her inability to feel her own symptoms making it harder for the doctors to narrow down what's wrong with her. Eventually, they do find the culprit in the form of a 25-foot tapeworm in her large intestine, which House extracts after slicing open her stomach without anesthesia (although the lack of anesthesia obviously doesn't bother her at all).

Butterball in Avengers: The Initiative has Nigh-Invulnerability and complete immunity to pain but is obese and weak. Unfortunately, he also can't feel anything else, and his invulnerability means he can't lose weight or improve his muscle tone. He reveals this when a teammate offers to have sex with him, as normally her fire abilities would burn her partner. He explains that while he wouldn't be hurt, he also wouldn't be able to get any enjoyment out of the act.

Kahlua in Rosario + Vampire, thanks to a "charm". While this made her nearly unstoppable in battle, as she was nearly impossible to knock out, her superior realized that this prevents her from knowing when her body is too damaged to go on. Thus, he pulls her back because as one of the world's greatest assassins she's far too useful to let her die pointlessly.

Yukari from Murciélago does not feel pain, which allows her to shrug off blows that would put a normal person out of commission. This is also best seen when she loses a leg and arm and only reacts to the amputations with surprise.

Heroes:
Subverted with Claire; given her penchant for mangling her body for the flimsiest reasons (*cough* garbage disposal *cough*), you'd think she doesn't feel pain. However, in her own words, she feels pain: she's just learned to endure it and get over it quickly. This is also believed to be a trait of Wolverine.
Played straight in the 3rd season, where Claire seems to lose the ability to feel pain after Sylar pokes around in her brain. She's quite upset by this, as she felt that the ability to feel pain made her human. It seems like it's going to result in her finding purpose in other people's pain. It's a good thing she can withstand pain, and good thing she can heal, since just bumping into someone will rotate her head 180 degrees.

Renard from The World Is Not Enough cannot feel pain due to a bullet in his brain that is slowly working its way through. And this somehow turned into immunity to third-degree burns. Because he couldn't feel the hot rock he was holding, it apparently didn't damage his hand at all, unless he just doesn't care — Renard is depicted as something of a Death Seeker who knows full well his days are numbered.

As the Friday the 13th series progressed, Jason Voorhees seemed to gradually lose the ability to feel pain, with only extremely severe attacks (like the ones inflicted on him during the fight in Freddy vs. Jason; see him stumble in one scene) fazing him.

Serina: The nops are a species of herbivorous marine bird that have been domesticated by a species of sapient, carnivorous marine bird known as the daydreamers as livestock for several million years. Eons of living a heavily regulated life as cattle has dulled not only their intelligence, but also their ability to feel pain. They'll continue to graze even if they're being Eaten Alive until they're too injured to keep functioning, although the daydreamers will still kill them before eating.

In Cruelty, one character is punched in the face and bloodied. He is kneed in the groin. He feels none of it and proceeds to hand out an ass-kicking. He is drugged to the gills.

Tales Series:
The infamous Coffee Mindfuck in Tales of Symphonia involves Lloyd tricking Collette into thinking that the hot coffee he'd handed her was ice-cold in order to make her admit that she'd lost her sense of touch, and by extension, her sense of pain as she's transformed into an angel. She gets better, though.
Tales of Arise: The protagonist, Alphen, can't feel pain due to the metal mask he (unwillingly) wears. It becomes a blessing in disguise for him: not only can he endure more punishment, it also nullifies Shionne's Curse of Thorns and allows him to wield the Blazing Sword, which is way too hot for anyone else to use. It's noted that his pain immunity doesn't mean that he's invulnerable, but luckily, Shionne can heal him with magic. When the mask eventually comes off, he starts feeling pain, but continues using the Blazing Sword anyway through sheer Heroic Resolve.

Pump Six and Other Stories: As part of their trans-human nature, characters from "The People of Sand and Slag" don't exactly feel any pain, even if their limbs are cut off (they do that for fun) or their organs are smashed into pulp during jumping out of a chopper without a parachute. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome occurs as this makes them extremely clumsy since they can't even fathom what pain or harm is. The story revolves around three security guards finding and adopting a stray, unmodified dog. "You have to treat it carefully", one of them points out at one point — "See how it doesn't immediately heal if I hurt it like this."

Shira from Blade of the Immortal lost his sense of pain due to brain damage suffered when Magatsu sent him falling off of a cliff. Luckily, the ridged sword that Manji owned tore Shira up so badly that the psycho's limited regeneration was slowed down by the damage he sustained over the course of their final fight. It still took a Big Damn Heroes moment from Magatsu to take him down, though.

The Night Unfurls:
Kyril is not insensitive to pain, but the fact that he can shrug off debilitating injuries, as well as possessing Blood Vials that heal him completely speaks volumes regarding his pain threshold. It is then subverted in Chapter 14, where he gets struck by the tendrils of a mutated war chief. Chuckling to himself that it has been far too long since he felt pain like this, it marks the original story's Serial Escalation.
Shamuhaza's half-insect, half-human Elite Mooks don't seem to feel any pain. Luckily, they can still be killed.

Subverted in HFIL: while the soul bodies the various characters have are, for all intents and purposes, indestructible, they can still feel all sorts of pain, whether it's from Goz and Mez clubbing them in the head, Freeza crushing Cell's neck with his tail, or the Ginyus trying to rip Raditz' limbs off. The latter actually learned about their Nigh-Invulnerability this way.

RWBY: The villain Hazel Rainart's semblance, Numbing Agent, has this effect. Of course, as someone else points out, it doesn't stop him from actually taking damage, just feeling it, but given that he's a 8-foot-tall mountain of muscle with a strong aura and a Bare-Fisted Monk fighting style, it tends to mean he can just barrel through anything that doesn't immediately kill him to paste his opponent. He also uses it to shove Dust crystals straight into his arm- the pain would be incapacitating for any normal person, but for Hazel it just enhances his punches.

Dawn of War:
Orks have Mad Doks and their Fightin' Juice, which causes affected ork squads to not die while the effect lasts. Knockback still affects them, so it's possible (and very much in the spirit of orkyness) to have the dok use the juice on himself/his squad, plant a Big, Bulky Bomb in the middle of a crowded melee and take flight unscathed.
The Space Marines' Word of the Emperor has a similar effect but applied to squads around the Librarian who uses it. An occasional bug causes the game to forget about the "while it lasts" part, meaning the effect never ends. The God-Emperor's Angels of Death indeed...

People high on Bliss don't feel it even when they injure themselves. Boris falls on the curb during the opening segment and just starts laughing rather than holding the injury or any other expected response. The addicted mob keeps coming after the team despite Wheeler setting the grass on fire, and Boris throws himself through a window with no apparent reaction. Gi even suspects he doesn't know how badly injured he is.

Bane's mask in The Dark Knight Rises is nominally meant to supply him with anesthetic gas that reduces the pain from a serious injury he suffered in the past. The fact that Bane inhales the anesthetic implies a general effect rather than being specialized to one area (as it would be in an injection), rendering him immune to all other pain — such as when Batman is beating him senseless. The only time he reacts in pain to a hit is after his mask gets damaged in the final fight, seconds before Catwoman blows him away with the Batpod's guns.

If the Titans in Attack on Titan feel any pain while being slashed and shot, they sure don't show it.

Three Finger, One Eye and Saw Tooth, the main hillbillies in the Wrong Turn series, are stated to have a severe case of congenital analgesia (meaning they feel little or no pain) in Wrong Turn 4: Bloody Beginnings. This led to a period of presumably exploratory Self-Harm in their youths; Three Finger bit off and ate his missing two digits, One Eye gouged out and ate one of his eyes with a fork, and Saw Tooth began grinding his teeth against walls.

Izuku in Death Need Not Apply has a pain tolerance so high that he might as well not feel pain. During the U.A. entrance exam, Izuku is functionally Quirkless and still gets enough points to enter the hero course by beating the robots to death with his bare hands then ripping off pieces to use as improvised weapons. In chapter six, Izuku is stabbed with so much broken glass that he clinks with every movement and shows no reaction at all. The only time so far Izuku's shown to actually feel pain is when he grunts slightly after getting hit in the face by Mina's acid.

Blackbirds RPG:
The Undead have the "Flesh of the Undead" rule, causing them to ignore injuries such as broken limbs and concussions due to their lack of ability to feel pain.
Those afflicted with the Plague of Beauty begin to feel less and less pain as their condition progresses, preventing them from realizing that the disease is slowly dissolving their internal organs. Unfortunately, this abruptly ceases to be the case right before the disease agonizingly kills them.
The Golden Messiah's influence, known as the Fervor, causes his followers to slowly transform into gold, with the practical benefit that golden body parts cannot feel pain. Just like with the Plague of Beauty, this stops working right before their agonizing death as molten gold overtakes their remaining organs and central nervous system, transforming them into an inert gold statue.

Inuyasha:
Miroku drinks a poison that will make him insensitive to pain every time he sucks miasma into his Wind Tunnel so that he's able to protect the ones he loves and keep fighting, even though it'll only kill him faster. He's well aware of the downsides, but does it anyway.
During her brief period as Naraku's Unwitting Pawn, Sango had a Shikon Jewel shard embedded in her body that rendered her unable to feel pain, with the idea that she would fight Inuyasha to the death if she didn't know how badly she was hurt. Indeed, Inuyasha has to explicitly point out to her that she was bleeding all over the place during their fight. When Naraku later retrieves the shard from her body, Sango is promptly incapacitated from the pain and ends up falling into a coma for over a week.

Roger in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. "No pain!" [dish to own head] "No pain!" [another one] "No pain!" [yep] He probably could (and would) have continued on indefinitely if Valiant hadn't stopped him. Interestingly, this only works if Roger's prepared to take the hit — he can still be incapacitated through pain if he's not ready for it. (Chalk it up either to his being a toon or to his stuntman training.)

The Twilight Zone (1959):
In "The Lateness of the Hour", a young woman realizes that she is just another robot that her "parents" built. She has a Freak Out and starts slamming her hand against a wall, screaming about how she can't feel any pain.
In "Uncle Simon", the niece of a cantankerous inventor finds herself forced to deal with a robot of this type for the sake of an inheritance.

A variation in Hurog with Oreg, who has two "bodies" — the keep that he is bound Genius Loci of and a human body which he can manifest at will. Protagonist Ward questions him about this and he admits that damage to the keep doesn't cause pain, though he does notice it... but damage to the manifested body does, mostly because it amused the man who created the binding spell.

This plays a role in revealing Simpson's culpability in murdering Clemons in Jessica Jones (2015). Simpson burned the body and the crime scene to hide details of the murder, but during the process he received some burn injuries which he couldn't feel thanks to the combination Super Serum/Psycho Serum he was taking. Because he didn't feel the burn he didn't think to cover it up to hide his involvement, and between that, some suspicious behavior, and knowing some things he shouldn't, Jessica quickly realizes that he was responsible.

Some Malfeas Charms in Exalted make it so that while you do feel pain, it doesn't actually affect you. At Essence 5+, with By Agony Empowered active, you can have multiple open aggravated wounds, and yet you keep fighting at full capacity until your Incapacitated health level gets marked off with aggravated damage. With the right Overdrive charms and Driven Beyond Death, you can arrange to then stand up again, go One-Winged Angel, and wreak havoc, still without being debilitated by your wounds.

Darkman has this as one of his three powers. After gaining third-degree burns over most of his body, experimental surgery is performed to ease his pain. Afterwards, he can feel nothing all over his body. Starved for sensory input, his brain makes his adrenal gland go wild, giving him unusual strength. His final power is scientific, as he can create synthetic skin to appear as anyone he likes by grafting on a new face. Why Darkman doesn't get horrible infections and die from his constant injuries is anyone's guess.

In volume 2 of The Heroic Legend of Arslan, Dariun is forced to fight a duel with a giant who supposedly couldn't feel pain on behalf of one of the prince's allies. In the end, it was shown to be partly true: the giant certainly didn't react to a massive diagonal slash down his chest, but Dariun's thrown sword plus a timely lightning bolt causes him to scream in pain and give up the fight.

Dungeons & Dragons:
Immunity to pain isn't a much sought-after ability since it has little effect in the game. Only a few spells, feats or special abilities are described as using pain to cause Status Effects. Creatures immune to critical hits (constructs, elementals, oozes, plants and undead) are also considered immune to pain.
A couple of drugs from the Book of Vile Darkness, Sannish and Luhix, can grant immunity to pain for a few hours. Sannish last longer, is cheap, has little side effects and isn't too addictive. Luhix (made from plants from the Abysses), on the other hand, is insanely expensive and its vicious addictive level makes it closer to a slow poison than an actual drug — without magic to counter the lasting effects, a single dose is likely to kill even a high-level character in a few days. However, Luhix is stronger as it can protect from pain-induced damage, while Sannish only protects from penalties.
The Paladin spell favor of the martyr grants immunity to pain attacks and non-lethal damage, as well as a long list of status ailments, and even allows to stay functional at negative hit points.
The Bard spell empyreal ecstasy induce a pleasurable fuguelike state that renders the subjects immune to pain penalties (but not damage) and mind-affecting spells, although it also makes it difficult to concentrate. The higher-level Cleric spell sublime revelry gives the same advantages without the negative effects.
The Cleric spell undead mask gives the subject many traits of The Undead, including their immunity to pain.
The Exemplars of Evil sourcebook offers the "Feign Death" alternate class feature for monks, rogues or rangers. It puts the subject into a catatonic state similar to death, where he or she no longer feel anything, including pain. The sole little drawback is that one can no longer move at the same time.
Dragon #313 introduces several "half-undead" templates, among which are the Ghedens, living beings mixed with the essence of mindless undead such as zombies and skeletons by some necromantic intervention. As a result, they have the "Dead Nerves" ability, which makes them incapable of feeling pain, and thus immune to nonlethal damage, stunning or death from massive damage.
Trolls in the Mystara setting feel no pain in addition to traditional D&D-trollish Healing Factor. The combination has led them to develop a fondness for games in which participants toss their own or others' severed arms, legs and heads around.

Dwarf Fortress:
Many supernatural creatures, including vampires, werebeasts in their transformed state, night creatures, forgotten beasts, angels, demons, and Bronze Colossi are immune to the effects of pain, which makes them far more dangerous. Most mundane creatures in the game can be killed by inflicting harm, which causes them to pass out from pain, leaving them vulnerable to a Coup de Grâce. Typically, a creature that doesn't feel pain must be killed by blood loss or dismemberment. This means blunt weapons are much less useful against such creatures.
One forgotten post states a Forgotten Beast causes a player's military to lose their skin, their eyes, and permanently paralyze their peripheral nervous system. Thanks to the player's medical skills, the Military becomes a force of skinless, eyeless, Legendary military that, thanks to the nerve paralysis, felt no pain.

Several different characters in Joe Abercrombie's The First Law trilogy displays this power. Ferro Malljin feels little to no pain due to being part-demon. Logan Ninefingers can't feel pain when he's overtaken by The Bloody-Nines, but DAMN can he ever feel it afterwards... Also, all of The Eaters lose the ability to feel pain — or anything else, for that matter. Which, along with their Healing Factor, makes them really hard to torture.

Berserk: This is one advantage offered by the Berserker Armor. While wearing it, the wearer feels no pain from wounds he receives, allowing him to fight without distractions and unleash the full potential of the human body. Unfortunately, pain exists for a reason: wearing the armor can easily result in broken bones and torn muscles from the overexertion, but the wearer doesn't notice until they try to take the armor off. During battle, the armor compensates for the damage by shoving a bunch of iron spikes through the broken bones to set them. It's unclear whether the armor accelerates healing or if it's the elf magic Guts is treated with afterward that allows him to keep his body in one piece.

Slightly Damned:
Demons are a downplayed example as things that would be agonizing to humans (for example being stabbed in the side with a scythe) will only faze them momentarily then they'll be right back fighting. However when they go berserk, they become short-lived mindless killing machines that in addition to getting a massive boost to physical and magical power become unresponsive to pain. We see this in action during berserk Sakido's rampage through the forces of hell she doesn't even react to a fire demon's breath.
When Buwaro drinks a magic potion that makes him change into an even larger berserk form, one of the signs that his star pendant is keeping him somewhat sane is that the blast of lightning from a wind demon does cause him obvious pain.

Deconstructed with one-shot Batman villain the Gork. In addition to giving him enhanced strength and durability and adding shields grafted under his flesh in certain areas, the experiments that made him superhuman also removed his ability to feel pain. However, because he couldn't feel pain, he didn't know he was overexerting himself until it was too late. So his inability to experience pain ended up killing him.

Rogue Legacy has Congenital Insensitivity to Pain as a trait your heroes can have. It's one of the worst in the game, though - instead of giving you any benefits, it removes your HP gauge from the HUD. Unless you're very good at math (as the damage numbers still pop up when you're hit), you'll never know how badly injured you are until it's too late.

Trolls in the Mystara setting feel no pain in addition to traditional D&D-trollish Healing Factor. The combination has led them to develop a fondness for games in which participants toss their own or others' severed arms, legs and heads around.

Star Trek:
Not exactly no pain, but Vulcans can suppress pain with mental discipline much the same way they suppress emotion. As Tuvok points out after being tortured, this only works to a certain extent, beyond which "we must simply endure the experience."
Played straight with Star Trek: The Next Generation's Data, who is an android, with a single brief exception in the movies (see entry under "Films").
Also played straight for Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor, who is a hologram. This actually causes some difficulties because, being a doctor, this means he's treating patients with no concept of what it feels like to be in their position, leading him to sometimes be condescending and dismissive, at least until Kes teaches him a small lesson in empathy. Averted in "Future's End", when the episode's antagonist, Henry Starling, tortures the Doctor by adding a subroutine that allows Starling to induce painful sensations at the press of a button.

Harry Potter and the Natural 20: At one point, the story notes that pain, by D&D rules, has no functional meaning outside of storytelling and fluff. It doesn't cause any penalties, debuffs or negative effects in any way (even the spell Symbol of Pain is dangerous solely because of the penalties it causes, rather than the pain), so pain only matters to the extent that you want to roleplay that the pain bothers you. The protagonist, Milo, is such a dedicated munchkin that he almost never roleplays anything disadvantageous unless it leads to some advantage further down the line. This makes him functionally immune to the Crucio Curse. Technically, he feels pain; he just doesn't care.

Transformers: Prime:
Soundwave seems to be this way if his fight with Wheeljack is any indication. Part of this might be the fact that he has no face or voice to show his reaction to being hit.
Deliberately stated as being an advantage Nemesis Prime had over the other Autobots, being almost purely automaton meant it didn't feel tired or the strikes of its opponent while the others had to recover from being knocked around.

Asagami Fujino in the third The Garden of Sinners chapter is insensitive to pain both physically and emotionally, though she keeps this a secret from everyone else so they don't think she's abnormal. She has even been repeatedly raped by a gang because of her passivity and her unwillingness to tell anyone about her 'pain'. She starts getting her sensation back in fits after one of the gang hits her with a baseball bat. The pain makes her feel more alive... and murderous. They die messily. It turns out that the lack of pain is the result of her father medicating her as a child to seal her psychic powers before they got out of hand, which has now backfired. One disadvantage to not being able to feel pain is that she doesn't even realize she has appendicitis, and would have eventually died from it if Shiki had not intervened.

In Cynthia the Mission, the Ripper of 2010, aka Yumiko, has this problem. Unfortunately, when she saw a show that talked about how normal humans have natural limits thanks to pain, she realizes she can do whatever she wants and normal humans can't stop her. She's proven wrong the second time she attempts to escape the insane asylum she's in, and the big sister of the girl whose eye she stabbed out kills her with a neck-shattering kick.

For an entire episode of the short-lived series O'Grady, nobody feels pain for a while on account of the ever-present "Weirdness" that plagues the town. Everybody enjoys the opportunity to do some "Groundhog Day" type stunts they normally would never have gotten away with, until, of course, The Weirdness wears off and their physical senses fully return. Ouch.

Kingdom Death
One of the Disorders a Survivor can get is Immortal. As long as the Survivor is Insane, they suffer no physical damage. Instead their insanity gets slowly whittled away until they're no longer insane and start to take actual physical damage.
In the end-stretch of the base campaign, Survivors can unlock Metabolic Surrender, which allows them to ignore all previously sustained damage or negative attributes... at the cost of dieing at the end of the round.

Yomiel in Ghost Trick, who proves it to Cabanela at one point by slamming his fist down on a boiling hot stove and holding it there. This is due to the fact that the Temsik fragment lodged in Yomiel's body is constantly rejuvenating his body to the state it was in (i.e. perfectly healthy) the moment before he died. And thanks to the ending, it's a possibility that Sissel might now have this trait too.

In Heroes of Might and Magic VI (Well, technically, Might And Magic Heroes VI, for unexplained reasons), the 'Cyclops' (which is the Champion-level creature of the Barbarian faction) has the special ability Insensitive To Pain, apparently due to being heavily warped by demonic energy. In gameplay terms, it means that whatever damage is inflicted on a Cyclops, won't affect it until its next turn — a potent ability, since it enables the Cyclops to always counterattack with his full strength, even if the attack should've killed him. And better yet, it can trick people into wasting more attacks on a unit that is technically already dead — he just hasn't realized it yet. Oh, and if you're clever, there's a number of spells you can use to take further advantage of it in various insidious ways... so in that universe, at least, being unable to feel pain is a definite advantage.

The Courier from The Blacklist has congenital analgesia, and as a result often stores evidence inside his own body for safekeeping and is immune to physical torture. His brother explains that because of this their abusive dad was frustrated that his physical punishments never had any effect and resorted to more extreme measures, such as making his son fight a dog in a ring while the neighbors watched, and even without the lack of pain since such a thing could and did warp his personality pretty badly. After he's captured one of the FBI agents is forced to impersonate him at a meeting with a client and is asked to prove his identity by demonstrating this, which he does by cutting his arm open and pretending not to feel anything. The client is suitably impressed since she already knows he's not really The Courier for unrelated reasons and only asked to see if he'd actually do it. At the end of the episode we also see a case of Surprisingly Realistic Outcome when it comes to this, since rather than shrugging it off after getting shot multiple times The Courier collapses from the massive damage to his body and dies.

Technically, Maytage of Flipside does feel pain, but she's trained herself to "accept" it, rather than the natural gut instinct to "deny" the pain being inflicted.

The Unsullied (elite eunuch slave soldiers) in A Song of Ice and Fire are dosed with an elixir called the "Wine of Courage" that deadens the sensation of pain from a young age. Gregor Clegane is a variation in that he's almost always doped up on Milk of the Poppy to take the edge off his crippling migraines, so any pain on top of that tends to be both deadened and irrelevant in the face of the splitting headache he usually has.

Deconstructed in One Piece. Moria's zombies don't actually feel pain despite reacting like they do; the response to pain stimuli is ingrained behavior in the animating shadow. Once reminded that their bodies can't feel pain, zombies will ignore even the most damaging attack. While fighting a giant zombie, Chopper, the team's doctor, tells it that the fact that it can't feel pain is its greatest weakness, as it has no way of knowing how much damage its body parts are accumulating until they're so injured that they simply stop responding altogether. The Straw Hats eventually beat it by first crippling its right arm and then shattering its spine, leaving the thing laying on the ground wondering why it can't move.

In Karas, the hero, born to a rather messed up mafia family and more apparently his brother is his father, and for half the series, he's in a coma, acting through a projection into an animated suit of transforming samurai armor, and after dying, he's reborn through the will of the City, says he feels no pain, allowing him to be the enforcer to said mafia family, taking 9mm shots and still remaining at full functionality. He also comforts a girl attempting to treat his wound he got from a demon during the local Apocalypse by saying he feels no pain so he's all right. Apparently, no sensation of pain means the wound is ... just not there. There is a justification to this, but it's not pretty: through the production of incest, it gave him a condition to which if he were to even lose his arm, he would not feel it.

Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget: One of the first signs that something is off about the chickens in Fun-Land Farms is that they don't react to potential injury. Molly first discovers this when she barrels into a hen trying to climb up a slide and the hen doesn't show any pain or annoyance. Once she's sensitized to this, she notices all sorts of other similar behavior, such as one chicken who's head-down in a golf hole, being lightly whacked with a putter, and not yelling or trying hard to escape. It's a result of the mind-control collars.

Yakuza: Like a Dragon; one sidequest has Ichiban encounter a man who is such a hardcore masochist that he cannot feel any pain, and it's made him depressed as now he can't get any stimulation from his favorite hobby. The party wails on him for almost a minute and causes no damage whatsoever. It ultimately takes the other focal character of the sidequest, a timid cashier that moonlights as a Dominatrix, to finally get him out of his funk. Completing said sidequest unlocks "Mr. Masochist" as a summon who buffs the defense of the party via granting them his ability to not feel pain via grossing them out.

Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords has an inversion of sorts with Darth Sion. Not only is he in constant agony holding his broken body together with the Dark Side of the force, but he exploits his self-torture to more easily tap into the Dark Side and is virtually indestructible in conventional battle. In your first encounter with him, you can only retreat as any wounds you inflict only help him.

A variation occurs in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx: the Spartan-III soldiers of Gamma Company have been given a cocktail of chemicals that prevents their body from going into shock when gravely injured, to give them an extra edge in combat; at one point when a soldier is hit it doesn't immediately register, and he only collapses once he loses enough blood for his heart to stop working, since he lost most of his chest. This comes at the cost of them needing to take anti-psychotic medication to suppress the negative effects it had on their brains.

Tales of Arise: The protagonist, Alphen, can't feel pain due to the metal mask he (unwillingly) wears. It becomes a blessing in disguise for him: not only can he endure more punishment, it also nullifies Shionne's Curse of Thorns and allows him to wield the Blazing Sword, which is way too hot for anyone else to use. It's noted that his pain immunity doesn't mean that he's invulnerable, but luckily, Shionne can heal him with magic. When the mask eventually comes off, he starts feeling pain, but continues using the Blazing Sword anyway through sheer Heroic Resolve.

One of Dr. Stylish's mooks in Akame ga Kill! is a Cyborg whose enhancements include a lack of any sense of pain. While he was sufficiently mechanical to be immune to the One-Hit Kill function of Akame's sword (which only works on biological life), she eventually causes enough damage that he can no longer fight back. Before he dies, the mook lampshades that feeling pain is actually a useful thing.

In Black Mask, members of the rogue Super-Soldier unit have enhanced strength, speed, agility, and no longer properly feel pain. Sometimes this adequately explains situations where they continue fighting as if nothing has happened despite suffering grievous injuries, sometimes it's pure Rule of Cool and Artistic License – Biology.

Chronicles of Darkness:
Promethean: The Created: Prometheans have this as one of their special tricks — whereas other supernaturals (and mortals) start taking wound penalties at a certain level, and have to roll to resist passing/bleeding out when their health meter fills with bashing/lethal damage, Prometheans will continue onward even if they're losing limbs, not falling down until they're dead. And even that doesn't stop them.
In both the Old and New World of Darkness, Werewolves and Vampires ignore wound penalties during frenzy.
Mage: The Ascension included the merit "Insensible to Pain", which allows the character to ignore wound penalties.

Forward's Zoa is a robot with no sense of pain. It primarily makes money as a sexbot, and its lack of pain awareness and easily reparable body mean it makes a fair chunk of that catering to torture fetishists or people with anger management problems who have no moral outlet for their desires with human partners. Human protagonist Lee is horrified, but Zoa reassures them it really doesn't suffer from it, and considers it far preferable to childcare, its original intended use. Artist Tailsteak likened it to shooting enemies in a video game and asked readers to consider if they were more shocked by the idea because Zoa looks like a woman rather than a man, a non-gendered humanoid, or a non-humanoid.

Rimuru Tempest in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has the [Pain Nullification] skill as part of his original starting set after his reincarnation, which ensures he doesn't feel pain no matter what attack hits him even if it blows away part of his body. The negatives of this are covered by the fact he lacks any valuable organs to damage being a slime and he has the [Self-Regeneration] skill unique to his new species, meaning usually nothing short of something destroying every last part of himself (which he would definitely notice happening) would be able to kill him. In fact, the only attacks he can feel pain from are ones that deal direct damage to his soul.

Elmyra of Tiny Toon Adventures was often shown shrugging off her pets' attempts at self-defense through this trope.

Warhammer 40,000:
"Feel No Pain" is a universal special rule, which allows models to roll a dice and potentially disregard a wound even after they fail their normal armor save, provided the wound wasn't dealt by a weapon that would have invoked the Chunky Salsa Rule. In some cases it's understood that this rule reflects the unit's superhuman physiology, in others it simulates the effect of having a medic in the squad providing some battlefield healing. For some specific examples from the rules and the fluff:
Among the followers of Chaos, Khorne's Berserkers are so lost to their bloodlust that they're able to ignore most injuries, Plague Marines of Nurgle as so bloated with corruption that they won't react to any wound that doesn't immediately kill them, while followers of Slaanesh do notice pain, and enjoy it.
Among loyalist Space Marine chapters, Salamanders get a chapter trait that gives them an FNP roll against wounds caused by flame weapons, reflecting their background as a cult of blacksmiths on a highly volcanic world. The Blood Angels' Death Company, meanwhile, are not only insane with bloodlust, they're also hallucinating the events leading up to their Primarch's death.
Orks have such an extremely robust (and partially fungus-based) physiology that they can survive decapitation long enough for a Dok to set them up for a "body transplant." On the subject of Ork physicians, it's an open question whether a Painboy gives his mob an FNP roll because he's on-hand to provide medical care, or whether they're so afraid of said medical care that they're willing to disregard a little thing like a bolter round blowing a chunk out of them.
The Cult of the Wrath Unbound can enter a euphoric killing trance known as the Khaélas Maenaid. Most Drukhari Wyches are savage and Ax-Crazy in combat as a matter of course, but this states drives their killing instinct Up to Eleven and causes them to attack friend and foe alike in a frenzy of unstoppable violence, undaunted by injury or fatigue.
The tabletop RPG system has Feels no Pain as a minor mutation, offering a larger number of Wounds while mentioning no external signs of mutation, making it one of the more beneficial mutations.

The Pain Editor in Shadowrun is bioware (artificial organ implant) which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Cyberpunk 2020 has a similar gadget, only this time is a chip if memory serves. One of the arguments for the superiority of cyberware over the less invasive bioware is that cyberware's simsense (what allows you to feel through the artificial limb) can be turned on and off at will; someone stabbing you unexpectedly in a cybernetic limb will hurt as much as getting stabbed in a normal arm, but you can turn that off immediately and perform such feats as grabbing the smoking barrel of a gun without feeling pain or suffering damage.

In Gensokyo 20XX, we have a subversion with Reimu, who can feel pain, although she may as well not feel it, seeing as she doesn't respond to it, at least mentally. Justified, as she was conditioned that way, so she wouldn't really know to respond to it, as the instinct was removed from her unless said injuries/painful situations were called to her attention. In that vein, she doesn't seem to respond to discomfort as well. This was changed in 20XXV, when she was kicked in the face and responded, causing her to fly into a rage and stab the perpetrator.

Heavily tainted Drow in Drowtales merge with a demon and have a reduced sense of pain as a result, and in cases of extreme tainting it makes the Drow more or less unstoppable, which proved to be a huge problem with a group of tainted Drow decided to attack the main city. Naal, a girl who is so badly tainted that she shouldn't even be alive, comments that "I broke one of my fingers this morning, and I didn't feel anything." Later, an Imperial Guard gets gravely wounded on the head, but doesn't feel anything. Everyone including the guy is freaked out about it. One of the forum admins later clarified that this only applies to people who have either been tainted accidentally or with an intentionally faulty process and that "merged"/safe tainted, who go through a special ritual devised by Snadhya'rune creator of said faulty seeds have a completely normal pain response, which might seem odd until you remember the massive disadvantages that come from this trope.

God of War (PS4): The Stranger that Kratos fights at his home claims to be incapable of feeling anything from Kratos' attacks, coupled with having an exceptional Healing Factor that immediately regenerates his injuries during the battle, including getting hit hard enough to crash through solid rock and keep going. Atreus deduces his identity as the Norse god Baldur, son of Odin and Freya, from this. When Freya heard a prophecy that Baldur would die "a needless death", she reacted by casting a spell that removed his ability to feel. However, in addition to pain, it also prevents him being able to feel things like touch, taste, smell, and pleasure. By the time the story begins, Baldur has been living like this for at least 100 years according to himself. Similar to his mythical counterpart, getting stabbed with mistletoe (in-universe, the broken-off tip of a mistletoe arrow that he accidentally strikes when attacking Atreus) removes his invulnerability and returns his ability to feel (though it's not what ultimately kills him unlike the myth). The resulting influx of sensory ability, after having been starved of it for an entire century quickly drives Baldur into fits of psychotic glee as he sustains injury after injury in the ensuing battle with Kratos.

Sia from Crepuscule, due to being a mutant, has a diminished sensory system, leading to this. He can feel some degree of pain if the injury's really bad, but for most the part, nothing. It's mentioned to be part of what makes him a great swordsman, as he won't stop even when wounded, but it's also left him feeling rather bored with everything in life, as this also applies to his sense of touch in general.

Zombies in All Flesh Must Be Eaten who have the Senses trait "Like the Dead" don't feel pain. "Like the Living" or better gives them that quality back — even though they don't suffer real damage from heavy blows, it feels like it, and thus they lose their next action if they take significant injury from a single attack. The sourcebook Atlas of the Living Dead adds the Feel No Pain quality, which removes that drawback from the higher Senses traits, allowing for zombies with incredible perception and a complete lack of concern about injury.

The present-day killer in the Criminal Minds episode "Painless" suffers from Pain Asymbolia after surviving being at ground zero of a bomb blast, which means he can still register the sensations of pain, but pain no longer bothers him. This phenomena is discussed within the show and is far from being a superpower: it's mentioned that people who feel no pain suffer a big increase in injuries because they miscalculate what they can do, the killer's attempt at Self-Surgery after cutting himself on some glass is a butcher job, and he drops dead after being shot twice, with the first shot alone knocking him off his feet.

String Theory (2009): Phineas is a sociopathic Serial Killer who's incapable of feeling pain due to congenital analgesia (a real medical condition), and who's Covered in Scars from attempts to feel it anyway. When he's given a drug that causes him genuine pain for the first time in his life, he finds it almost a religious experience.

Much like Jason in Friday the 13th as described above, Michael Myers from Halloween usually reacts very little to injuries. A couple shining examples come from the two most recent films, Halloween Kills and Halloween Ends. In Kills, even after Michael is beaten down with baseball bats and knives, as well as being shot several times by the mob, he gets back up to kill most of the mob as if nothing happened, just when they assume he's dead. In Ends, while his numerous injuries have caught up with him, making him noticeably weaker than before, he still makes no real response when Laurie slits his throat wide open, besides ripping one of his pinned hands free to try and strangle her as he's bleeding out, before Alyson intervenes.

Ed, Edd n Eddy:
Ed can give Soundwave a run for his money. He endured being crushed by a house, smashing through a brick wall, being twisted around, etc... all the while laughing his ass off.
Completely inverted with Eddy's brother, something as small (in this show's standards) as a door ramming into his face knocked him out-cold, complete contrast towards everyone else being Made of Iron.

Several types of entities in Deadlands Feel No Pain, including some Player Characters that are Blessed with Suck. Like the Bruce Banner example in the Comic Books section above, these beings can usually still feel when something's wrong, but the sensation isn't described as unduly distracting. Excessive injury can still cause penalties to dice rolls, though, because it's hard to walk without your favorite patella, and it's hard to maintain balance without your spinal column.

League of Legends:
The mage Swain first came to attention of the Noxian government when he limped into a medical ward with his leg broken and the bone visibly protruding. The doctor who treated him noted that he showed no distress, and had no reaction to the bone being snapped back into place.
The champion Sion also has an ability called Feel No Pain, which has a chance to reduce the damage taken from attacks. He even says as much as a voice line.

Traditionally, zombies and many other undead don't feel pain — their nervous systems aren't running. Alternatively, they feel, but not pain. This is used in Marvel Zombies for the creepifying factor — a bone tears its way out of Bruce Banner's stomach, and he reports in horror that it doesn't hurt... but he can still feel it.

In Deadpool (2016), Ajax's pain receptors were burned off by his mutation, allowing him to keep fighting despite grievous injuries up to and including a sword through the chest. However, unlike the Merc with the Mouth (who feels pain but doesn't care) he lacks any sort of Healing Factor, so he pays for it later.

Sword of the Stranger: The Ming warriors have this thanks to a special anesthetic drug, allowing them to shrug off all but the most deliberating or instantly-fatal wounds and keep fighting. The exception is Luo Lang, who's too much of a Blood Knight to use it, as he feels it would take the fun out of his fights, but he doesn't need it since he's the Master Swordsman of the bunch. Its effectiveness can't be denied, as combined with their natural skills, the Ming are able to dominate most fights where they're outnumbered, and one who ends up captured by the Japanese is able to ignore all the torture they put him through. However, they tend to miss important cues in the heat of combat, like when Feng Wu gets stabbed through the throat with his own sword and he's only able to stumble around in shock trying to find his weapon before he expires. Plus, when the drug wears off, all the pain comes rushing back, as what happened to the previously mentioned tortured Ming who immediately started screaming and writhing before giving up what he knew before getting put out of his misery. The Japanese general Shogen Itadori manages to get his hands on the drug before the final battle and uses it to go on something of a power high, though it doesn't save him from being fatally shot while he's distracted, and Luo Lang offers Nanashi some of it before their final fight to help with his injuries but Nanashi refuses to Lang's surprise and approval, as he states pain is what makes him feel alive.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, most of the forces of Yliaster are really robots, so they don't feel anything when their bodies get torn apart. At one point, Aporia takes advantage of this when he faces Jack Atlas, Lua, and Luca at once. The duel makes their cards real, so they actually get hurt whenever they take damage, but he is unaffected.

Kohaku from Tsukihime is a purely psychological (though apparently no less effective) version of this trope. One scene has her cutting her finger, then claiming that if she just tells herself she's just a doll, she won't feel the pain. She really does believe she's just a doll, who has to act human to fit in. And the "doll" thing was a defense mechanism created to deal with much worse things than mere cuts.

At the start of the fifth season of Gossip Girl Chuck Bass is unable to feel anything at all, be it physical or emotional. He doesn't fully realize this until he crashes with his motorcycle and feels nothing only to later find half his abdomen is bruised. He goes as far as paying people to beat him up in the hopes that he'll feel something but nothing works. The reason why he can't feel any pain is said to be a form of PTSD after going through way too much crap in season four, culminating in letting the love of his life go so she can marry a prince and have her fairytale fantasy come true. This all lasts until the third episode where Blair tells him that she's pregnant and he's not the father. He ends the episode crying on his bed, comforted by his dog, feeling both the emotional pain of losing Blair and the physical pain of all the injuries he's sustained over the past three episodes.

Scanners Live in Vain: In this story, deep space is flooded with a kind of radiation that causes debilitating pain in living creatures. In order to get around this, passengers are placed in cryogenic suspension for the trip. Ships are primarily crewed by "habermans", convicted criminals whose sensory nerves have been severed to render them immune to the pain... at the cost of causing them to lose all senses other than sight. Since it's not a good idea to leave murderers and rapists in sole charge of helpless passengers, the haberman crews are supervised by the titular Scanners, an elite body who volunteer to undergo the haberman process. While Scanners do have access to "cranching" technology, which temporarily restores the disabled senses, it is still a major sacrifice. Much of the story consists of the POV character meditating on what the Scanners have lost by the change.

Brisingr, the third book in the Inheritance Cycle, as well as the final book, Inheritance, had soldiers who could feel no pain due to magic. Unless a blow hit/affected something exceptionally major (their lungs/heart/head), they'd just keep coming and often destroyed morale and/or army cohesion, though they're otherwise affected by stuff, i.e., severing nerves in an arm would lose functionality for said arm, which they'd notice rather than the pain/lack thereof. The spell has been cast by the Big Bad Galbatorix, who has essentially weaponized this.

The youngest of them, X23_4GAB a.k.a. Gabby, turns out to be the only one who inherited Laura's Healing Factor and abuses it far more lightly than most who must bear even transitory pain (i.e., severing a middle finger as a gag gift for Deadpool).

In Dawn of a New Age: Oldport Blues, Devin was born with nerve damage that renders him immune to pain. Since people always mock or pity him when they find out about his condition, he wishes he could live a normal life without it. On the flip side, he can control his newly acidic blood with his acid manipulation power, so not feeling pain when he cuts himself to gain access to his blood is a plus.

Citizens of The Culture are wired so that while their other senses are normal (and in the case of sexual arousal, heightened), they don't feel pain to a great extent.

Also played straight for Star Trek: Voyager's Doctor, who is a hologram. This actually causes some difficulties because, being a doctor, this means he's treating patients with no concept of what it feels like to be in their position, leading him to sometimes be condescending and dismissive, at least until Kes teaches him a small lesson in empathy. Averted in "Future's End", when the episode's antagonist, Henry Starling, tortures the Doctor by adding a subroutine that allows Starling to induce painful sensations at the press of a button.

The Mountain starts the battle with the Wolf on painkillers, which lets him ignore a painful wound. Doesn't save him though.
The Nurglite mercenaries the Wolf brings to the Battle of Winterfell shrug off horrifying damage without even appearing to register it.
The Technically-Living Zombie Mountain is even tougher, now able to stand getting stabbed all the way through without slowing down. Still not enough to save him.

The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant: This is the primary effect of the titular character's leprosy. Modern medicine means that it won't kill him directly, but the damage it's already done to his nerves means that he has to live in a perpetual state of paranoia, constantly checking himself for injury. This is why he is so adamant that the Land cannot be real: If he allows himself to accept the healing the Land offers, he'll lose that protective paranoia, which will kill him when he returns to his original life.

Tortogs in the DragonMech setting only really feel pain when something punches through their shell. It's what makes them great smugglers — when night is virtually guaranteed to bring anything from a stinging micrometeorite hail to a full-on orbital strike, you don't need speed to get around — you need durability, and tortogs are good at durability.

In the Best Friends Whenever episode "A Time to Double Date", a guy named Drake keeps asking Cyd to punch him in every part of his body and doesn't feel anything.note Ironically, he does feel pain when Cyd high-fives him claiming that his palms are his "weak spot"

In Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, cyborgs have pain inhibitors installed into their brains so that pain would not affect them during combat and debilitate them. Losing limbs or eyes to them is nothing more than annoyance, demonstrated when Sam chops off Raiden's left arm and cuts his left eye. They have support teams monitoring their bodies for damage instead. Later on, Raiden urges Doktor to turn off the inhibitors so that he could draw on the sensation of pain to unleash his Jack the Ripper persona.

In The Mask, villain Pretorius considered this part of the key to The Mask's powers and tried to reproduce it in himself.

YuYu Hakusho:
Hiei and Kurama were battling a giant construct designed not to feel pain. They're quick to demonstrate why not realizing how much damage your body is taking really isn't as good an idea as it seems.
Doctor altered his body chemistry to both feel no pain and to never lose consciousness. He explains this to Yusuke after he barely reacts to a limb being shot off.

Hayden, the protagonist of darkSector, has congenital insensitivity to pain. This is the reason he can use the superpowers given to him by the mutagen he has been infected with during the story, as it is revealed later than normal humans go insane from the constant pain it gives them.

Kakon from Kuro Shouri can't feel pain anymore after being experimented on. It doesn't give him any real edge in battle, and on occasion he gets hurt without even realizing it.

All For Luz:
One of the Quirks Luz has taken is "Pain Nullification" and it allows her to completely nullify any and all pain of any kind. It's usually used as Required Secondary Powers alongside her Super Regeneration and Shock Absorption. So far only the Quirks of Riley Stewardson, Sophia Humbolt, Jonah Smith and the Golden Guard have been able to bypass this.
In the past, All For One once possessed the "Pain Blocker" Quirk which functioned similar to the above example. He eventually gives this Quirk to Gigantomachia to become a more effective bodyguard.

Justice League Unlimited: Ten of the Royal Flush Gang was said to not feel pain. This didn't stop him from making pain-like grunting sounds during his fight with Superman, though. Given that it was the Joker who said that, and the character otherwise just displayed generic Super-Strength and Nigh-Invulnerable abilities, it's likely that Joker just thought it was more interesting to describe Ten that way.
