Damage is frequently done to characters that should hurt or incapacitate them, but is easily shaken off. Nobody ever breaks a rib or other bones unless that specific broken bone becomes important later on. This isn't Super-Toughness or Nigh-Invulnerability, where the character is supernaturally protected from harm. This is the ability to shrug off blows that would disintegrate a human body when you technically shouldn't be able to do so. Robots, Mutants, Mages, Ki using Martial Artists, etc. do not count. Having a story-enabled reason for not being a bloody smear immediately takes one out of the running for this trope. Certain Required Secondary Powers may also induce this and it is particularly true for Super Hero characters to have "increased strength and endurance" in their portfolio, even if never outright explained or stated. How else can someone whose sole power is throwing flame take being thrown off a multi-story building as no big deal? The line gets fuzzy between Badass Normal and Charles Atlas Superpower where somehow a "normal" person has become invulnerable to the effects of injury by willing themselves uninjured. Modern special effects are somewhat to blame for this, as they frequently up the forces involved to look more dramatic. This sometimes approaches cartoon-esque extremes, such as a person getting smashed through concrete or brick walls and being able to get right back up again with only negligible injury. By extension, blunt damage, concussions, and other side effects of "non-lethal" fights or a Tap on the Head never have unintended fatal consequences — death can only happen with intentionally-lethal weapons, like swords or guns. Even with normally-lethal weapons, the hero may intentionally inflict flesh wounds instead of shooting to kill. This trope also enables our hero to take a bullet in some critical area (chest, shoulder, etc.) and continue to fight as though nothing had happened, even if they should be Overdrawn at the Blood Bank. It makes you wonder why, for all the supposed beatings they have received themselves over the course of a show, the hero/heroine never suffers any long-term scarring or lasting physical injury. One especially tenacious example is the lack of punch drunkenness. Indeed, unrealistic lack of damage from head injuries leads to the widely prevalent Sub-Trope: Hard Head. Punch-drunk boxers are the classic Real Life example of what happens to someone who takes repeated pummeling damage in many fights year after year. However, the American National Football League presents a better sampling. To survive more than a couple of seasons in the league is a guarantee of a lifetime of painful, lingering damage to battered joints, bones, and connective tissues. That life is also going to be about ten years shorter than that of the average adult American. The heart and body organs build up scar tissue likely to fail when the athlete is in his fifties and sixties. This condition is known as Dented Iron. Between them, Made of Iron and Hollywood Healing cover the two main varieties of action hero — the Terminator-type that can walk unscathed through a bomb-blast, and the hero who does get hurt badly but somehow always comes back to triumph in the end. The polar opposite of this is Made of Plasticine. A character who doesn't just shrug off extreme damage, but doesn't sustain any damage at all, is Nigh-Invulnerability. Characters who are Made of Iron, if they die at all, often die Rasputinian Deaths. If two Made of Iron characters go up against each other, it often leads to How Much More Can He Take? fights. A character who is Made of Iron isn't necessarily literally made of iron. If he happens to sink in water and die as if he were, that's Super Drowning Skills. If a person has this kind of durability as a superpower, it's Super-Toughness. When the character does sustain grisly, incapacitating injuries but keeps going anyway, it's Normally, I Would Be Dead Now. If the character's durability is justification for putting them through a lot of physical stress for the audience's amusement, you probably have an Iron Butt Monkey. See also Charles Atlas Superpower, as being Made of Iron is one of its more common effects. Not to Be Confused with Maid of Iron in any variation. |

In Worm, Skitter. Her sheer toughness is demonstrated on several occasions, but the most vivid demonstration comes in 19.2 when she walks up to a hero who uses his power to sort-of cure her, a power which as a side effect transfers her injuries to him. She was prepared to fight without healing, but Tattletale convinces her to go through with it anyway. Afterwards, the hero needs the help of two people just to stand. | |

Cody Rhodes is one of those WWE wrestlers who doesn't get injured very often. Case in point, during the November 14, 2012 episode of WWE Main Event, Rhodes suffered a strained shoulder. Miraculously, Rhodes returned on the December 10, 2012 episode of WWE RAW (sporting a mustache, nonetheless). At Hell in a Cell 2022 Rhodes took on Seth Rollins in the main event despite having a completely torn pec. |

Dimension 20: In Mentopolis, this is Hunch Curio's shtick, if his highest stat being Sturdy didn't give it away. This really comes into play in the final battle, where, after perhaps the worst roll imaginable where he was hit with a roll of 59 and defended with a measly 1, he gets knocked clean out of the station and lands in the rail yard- and still gets up, ready for more. In a system where, rules as written at least (and admittedly 'rules as written' isn't a big deal here), a roll difference of ten should be enough to kill or injure for life. | |

Sluggy Freelance: Oasis might also count. She's been through many No One Could Survive That! moments, including two explosions and a sniper bullet to the head. How she does this is not yet explained, and may or may not be a superpower she was given by Dr. Steve. Her "sister" Kusari has also survived being stabbed through the chest and even decapitated, again by means unexplained. It's eventually revealed they're both a collection of clones, with Oasis being linked to a Kill Sat AI Hereti Corp has been trying to take full control of for decades. | |

The Twilight Child: The main character is capable of taking several beatings, despite by all indication being a regular Unicorn. She gets knocked off a building, and lands incredibly hard. It barely phases her. She gets kicked through a door and into a wall. She just gets right back up again to fight the guards who kicked her. She gets a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown that outright breaks several bones. She heals what she can and ignores the rest. Then she gets hit by a blast of magic capable of knocking out Princess Celestia. It doesn't completely kill her, but it does render her Only Mostly Dead. The fact that her mother is Twilight Sparkle might have some hand in this. | |

8-Bit Theater: The entire cast has exhibited this despite not having any apparent magical protection. One member managed to survive having Australia dropped on them. That one member? The SQUISHY FREAKING WIZARD. Fighter himself has survived several stabs to the back of the head courtesy of Black Mage and it isn't likely he's ever felt a thing. Hell, he even had one used as a lightning rod to channel a Lightning Spell directly into his brain. That particular spell actually INCREASED his intelligence instead of dealing any damage whatsoever! |

Wouldn't you believe it but Zack Ryder has become one. In the month of January 2012, he's been assaulted by Kane in ways that other wrestlers his size would be dead by now. He's been dropped from ten feet in the air, had three powerbombs on his cracked ribs, got chokeslammed through the stage before finally having to be put away with a Tombstone Piledriver by Kane at the Royal Rumble before he has to be put out for a while. | |

Combagals in Furry Fight Chronicles are naturally tough because of their training. Fenny defeated Roora in spite of suffering a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown with a Groin Attack at the end, even able to make a comeback while Roora was entertaining the crowd. Muko has Stone Wall levels of resistance even before starting her Combagal training. It took prolonged beatings from Kalita and Nyarai to defeat her in spite of being superior opponents. |

Whateley Universe: Generally averted despite the presence of superpowers. While Exemplars - those whose power buffs all normal human traits and abilities to peak human or even super-human levels - shade from 'slightly tougher than an ordinary human' to 'bulletproof against most small arms' depending on power level, they are far from invincible, and even the Nigh-Invulnerable characters can and frequently do get injured. Lancer is a Flying Brick, and in his Fall 2006 combat final, he got a dislocated shoulder that sent him to the hospital. He still won, though. Phase seems to be in dire need of her roommate's healing salves on a regular basis. | |

Darwin's Soldiers has a surprising amount of Made of Iron characters. Alfred shrugged off at least two point blank gut shots from a pistol and continued engaging Marcus in a fist fight. Marcus is an ordinary human Dragonstorm agent. He was capable of taking on two beings with Super-Strength, even after he had been punched several times by them. |

Because he personifies most bruiser tropes, it's no surprise that Popeye was Made of Iron back when he got his start on Thimble Theatre. In his first few story arcs, Popeye takes some brutal beatings and manages to come out on top. When in one fight he takes several handgun rounds in the gut, he manages to still win the fight before passing out. In the hospital, in addition to the bullets that put him there, knife blades, tips of pool cues and many, many other indications that you should see the other guy. The animated cartoons take this even further. Bullets bounce off him. | |

Homestuck: Gamzee received several hundred bullets in the chest, and doesn't even stop smiling. Apparently, clowns in Homestuck are death-proof. On a similar note, Terezi can survive, in order, taking a No-Holds-Barred Beatdown from the aforementioned, having a sword plunged into her chest, being blasted into a mountain, the collision of two planets, and a high-speed jetpack crash. She staggers out of it all bleeding heavily and badly worse for wear, but alive and strong enough to walk, speak, and headbutt somebody in the face hard enough to draw blood. She died after that, but she didn't go until she was good and ready and she still outlived Gamzee! |

The Order of the Stick: O-Chul has survived: being hit, whilst paralysed, by an explosion right next to him that destroyed a castle; fighting a shark whilst tied up and impaled by spikes in a tank of acid; (offscreen) having a staring contest with a basilisk; and being Disintegrated, electrocuted, and hit with a Meteor Swarm. The villains have taken to placing him in psychotically dangerous situations simply to bet on his survival. This is a man who has Chuck Norris jerky for breakfast. Word of God states that O-Chul's Constitution score is in the mid-twenties. In comparison, the average Constitution (health) score is ten. 18 is the normal 1st level human maximum. Normal play rules give a +1 increase to one stat every 4 levels, and 'maximum' level tends to be 20. So even assuming he's level 20 (which he isn't) his CON would still only be 23. All this sacrificing all the others abilities. This means he probably has the Hit Points of an average character twice his level. Also, paladins are traditionally loaded down with class features and abilities that make them rather hard to kill — but O-Chul has mostly fighter levels. Hinjo even remarks that he is the "toughest" Sapphire guardsman. Most characters in OotS seem to have this to some degree. Characters regularly shrug off impalements, stabbings, and tramplings as only minor inconveniences. This could be attributed to the Dungeons & Dragons rules that run the universe. |

Chris Jericho has only suffered two serious injuries to his body in his entire life. One was a broken arm caused by his own stupidity (practicing dives without a mat). The second was a herniated disk, which he suffered training during Dancing with the Stars. Keep in mind he's been in more Elimination Chambers than anyone else, been in more than a few brutal TLC matches, worked for several promotions that specialized in Garbage Wrestling, and works a hard-hitting, high-risk style in which several peers have destroyed their own bodies. | |

Clash of the Elements: Alex Whiter has a ridiculous record of getting hit with attacks that would kill any normal human, which is a bit crazy considering that in spite of his flight he only has an above-average level of strength. Of course, when one takes into considering his Determinator status... | |

Nigel from Rio. First he accidentally flies into a transformer (which causes the whole city to plunge into a blackout) with only some burnt feathers and the sparks shocking him as he flies off. After the climax, although he survived the turbines of the smuggler's plane, he lost most of his feathers and was made fun by the marmosets. |

Most characters in OotS seem to have this to some degree. Characters regularly shrug off impalements, stabbings, and tramplings as only minor inconveniences. This could be attributed to the Dungeons & Dragons rules that run the universe. | |

Subverted with Kitten, who foolishly insults Jade in the Tournament of Villainesses, hitting a Berserk Button and causing her to get blasted by the Dragon Talisman, nearly killing her and giving Jade an My God, What Have I Done? moment (she lampshades the inconsistency). | |

Some of the fights in Weak Hero can get extremely brutal (that rival the likes of Yakuza), with characters being pummelled so intensely that a visit to the hospital would be required at the very least. However, for the most part, they'll show up the next day looking right as rain aside from a smattering of band-aids. | |

Girl Genius: Considering what he HAS survived, Othar Trygvassen (GENTLEMAN ADVENTURER!) is only boasting a little in the former page quote. The Jaegers as a group tend to be rather durable. One goes so far as to mistake Von Pinn's attempts to puncture his kidney for flirtation. And coming completely out of left field is quiet, unassuming, Mauve Shirt Airman Third Class Axel Higgs. He gets slammed into a stone wall hard enough to leave a man-shaped dent, brushes it off, then cuts the insane clank that did the slamming with a wrench in a single swipe. Eventually we learn he's a Jagergeneral; for some reason unknown even to him, his external physical appearence has never changed over all the centuries of his existence. Minor character Mr. Obsidian is evidently physically invulnerable; both a wrench and a knife shatter when deployed against his skin. |

The Undertaker. At Elimination Chamber 2010, Taker was making his way to the ring in his usual grand fashion (Smoke, fireballs, really slow walk, etc.). Undertaker did his usual pause at the top of the ramp and was engulfed in flames by an errant fireball. Playing it off as being fired up, he ran to the ring, and proceeded to wrestle an entire Elimination Chamber match. He then lost his World Heavyweight Championship to Chris Jericho, but nobody's perfect. | |

Wilhuff Tarkin, Hero of the Rebellion has two examples: Adult Hutts are extremely hard to kill with portable blasters due their thick hides, the mucus said hides secrete, the underskin mantle that acts as a skeleton, and their heavy layers of blubber and muscle. It takes either specialized blasters or ludicrously powerful ones (such as the DLT-19D, capable of outright disintegrating a human) to cause fatal damage. Force Users can make themselves even tougher: A'sharad Hett is shot with a DLT-19D and it takes three full-power shots (it's implied he had died at the second and the third just disintegrated him once he couldn't reinforce himself anymore), and Darth Vader survives being struck by lightning (though it incapacitates him). Both are actually canonical: during Order 66 many Jedi take a ludicrous amount of blasters shots to die, and Vader did survive being struck by lightning. |

Red vs. Blue: Grif. He is repeatedly shot and killed by Sarge and others, to the point of almost being a Running Gag, but always appears alive and fine later on. He's even survived a shot from a tank with no ill effects. The Meta/Agent Maine. Before he got any super-powered armor enhancements, he survived getting shot in the throat nine times, then getting tossed off a speeding truck, bouncing off a vehicle going the other direction at extremely high speeds, and then falling hundreds of feet. The only lasting consequence of this was he lost his ability to speak (not that he spoke much to begin with). In the final battle with him he gets stabbed in the chest by Tucker's energy sword and barely reacts, as well as taking multiple close-range shotgun blasts without any apparent injury. When he finally is Killed Off for Real, fans didn't actually believe it until some characters recovered his armor and confirmed that, yes, he is really dead, and even then it's revealed that getting thrown off of a giant cliff wasn't what did him in; it was drowning. |

Professional Wrestling can wander into this when things go wrong and sometimes even when they go right, generally missed completely by the tendency for people to think "knowing how to fall" equates to "falls don't hurt." See Hell in the Cell, where Mick Foley suffered a concussion, broken ribs, a broken tooth that went up his nose, and a dislocated shoulder after falling from a twenty-foot height twice, and still finished the match. | |

Suicidal Overconfidence: According to Word of God, this trope meant that it took a bit of effort and time for the Kingpin to actually beat Bitsy to death. Not only was he pummeling her repeatedly just for the sake of it, but Bitsy (even as old as she was) was tough enough to require that much force before she eventually succumbed to her injuries. As the author themself puts it, "For all [of Bitsy's] faults she's a stubborn old witch." | |

Child of the Storm has a number of examples, but Harry is probably the best. With human (growing to slightly above Super-Soldier) physical abilities, and without outside intervention, he survives being: stabbed, stabbed and struck by lightning (twice), repeatedly beaten to a pulp by a number of physical vastly superior fighters (in one case, having his arm broken and suffering Metronomic Man Mashing with that arm as a lever), and close proximity to a lot of explosions. Combine this with how ludicrously stubborn he is note after being stabbed and struck by lightning the second time, having been pummelled into a mess by his opponent, he gets up and essentially glues himself back together for another round barely half an hour later and you have a textbook example of this trope. | |

The Fox and the Hound: Tod, a 13lb fox, takes multiple hits from a 500lb bear, and takes a plummet off a waterfall with said bear. He lived. The bear didn't. Though thanks to the Square-Cube Law smaller animals can survive larger falls without being seriously injured. Chief takes a hit from a train and plummets to his apparent death from a bridge hundreds of feet above ground. He survives with only a broken leg. |

Jacob Starr of Survival of the Fittest is (in)famous for this trope, to the point of handlers referring to its use as "The Jacob Treatment". The character in question, over the course of his tenure on the island, was hit by arrows, burned, shot, cut and stabbed, all without seeming to flinch or even lose any mobility. V3's Rick Holeman also took an absurd amount of injuries before dying. These included getting shot in the chest while still being able to run right over to his attacker, knock her over and starting to beat her down. All the while being stabbed with a knife — then he survived long enough to deliver some last words before finally kicking the bucket. |

Another great example is Kurt Angle. For the uninitiated, he was in the summer Olympics with a broken neck. No, he didn't get it during the wrestling tournament, he had it before the tryouts. Not only did he convince them to let him compete, he won the gold medal. While he's at times injury prone, his neck at least is made of titanium. This is an understandably large point of pride both for his character and in real life. | |

Fantasy of Utter Ridiculousness: Youkai in Gensokyo tend to be this by default as long as they're not facing someone like Reimu. Specific examples include: Rumia was accidentally kicked away by Megas. She got up and flew away a few minutes later, albeit a bit woozy from the experience. Yukari was in Megas's flight path when it made its first accidental entry into Gensokyo, meaning that she got herself slammed by who-knows-how-much-tonnage clear into the Scarlet Devil Mansion's library. A short nap later, and she's fine and dandy. The most blatant examples are the scaled-up Suika and Yuuka, Megas's actual opponents. Suika was subjected to a powerful uppercut-spin kick combo, a colossally-sized warhead, and a chunk of her own Wrecking Machine firebomb; Yuuka was assailed by one of her own bullets accelerated to mach speed, the Nitrous, Megas's Eight-Ball explosive strike, a point-blank barrage of gatling-fired energy bolts, and the Double Deuce.note A double shoulder-chop capable of slicing arms off of opposing mecha. Both times it takes outside interference from Gensokyo's resident incident-resolver(s) to make them stop fighting, and they're still mobile and fight-ready afterwards. |

RPG World often plays with this trope. | |

In ToyHammer, you would think Mike would kill two dozen of the miniature soldiers a day just walking though his house, and that any of the scouts trying to hide in his handbag would get liquefied in a matter of seconds. You'd be wrong. | |

Broken Saints: Oran. Sure, the power of his faith protects him, or at least numbs him to pain, but he still takes way too much punishment to survive, time after time. | |

The two best examples of this trope in You Got HaruhiRolled! are Haruhi surviving a blimp crashing on her, and Kyouko surviving get thrown under a trolley, much to Sasaki's annoyance. | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: In the 48 hours contained within Chapters 9 and 10, Sigrun gets a nasty troll bite on her arm, goes book salvaging on the next day, followed by an evening on which she temporarily gets her energy drained by a ghost, has a fight with a water troll, gets dunked in icy water during the process, and finally has to walk back to the tank with wet clothes in freezing tempearatures with the bite wound re-opened due to having odered the non-combatants to drive away from the action earlier. On the next morning, she's having breakfast with everyone else, chipper as ever. Chapter 14 (two in-universe weeks later) revealed that some of the wounds from the troll bite got infected, but her body still overall took all these injuries in stride. | |

Jack Skellington of The Nightmare Before Christmas manages to get shot down by anti-aircraft flak guns without being blown to pieces. This could be justified, however, by the coffin sleigh taking most of the blow. However, this does not explain how at least a mile-high fall onto a stone angel didn't break any of his bones (the impact from the fall did seem to be strong enough to knock off his jawbone, however). This all still could be justified by the fact that Jack's undead, so he would not feel pain, if it weren't for an earlier scene where Sally accidentally pokes Jack's finger with a needle, and he yelps in pain. It's a little confusing. Most likely, Jack's status as the King of Halloween just makes him immortal. | |
