body power
Invulnerability
Resistance to physical harm that would kill or maim an ordinary body — distinct from healing, which repairs damage after it lands.
How it works
The body itself resists penetration, impact and heat rather than recovering afterwards. The two are routinely confused, and the difference decides most fights: a healer bleeds and continues, an invulnerable character never bleeds. Almost every version has a stated exception — magic, a specific wavelength, a named weapon — because a character who cannot be hurt has no stakes.
Who has invulnerability
Across 4 universes. This list crosses publishers — something no single wiki can do, because every franchise keeps its own separate database.

The feat ledger
Every entry cites the work it comes from. Feat means it was shown in the work; Statement means a character or narrator said it. Nothing here is a fan estimate unless it is tagged Calc.
Superman — Bullets flatten against him without breaking skin — the defining visual of the power
Superman — Magic and kryptonite are the stated exceptions, so the invulnerability is conditional by design
Hulk — Withstands artillery and orbital re-entry without penetration
Saitama — Takes attacks that destroy the landscape and is not scratched — the joke and the premise at once
Saitama — Never explained beyond his training claim, which the series treats as deliberately absurd
Monkey D. Luffy — Rubber body renders blunt force and electricity ineffective, but not blades
Doomsday — Adapts after death to become immune to whatever killed him
Colossus — Organic steel form turns aside munitions and sustained impact
Colossus — He is vulnerable in human form, so the power is a state he must enter
Luke Cage — Unbreakable skin, the power the character was built around
Luke Cage — Damage requires cutting the skin, which is why he is written as hard to injure rather than unkillable
All Might — Absorbs attacks that level buildings while still standing
Cyborg — Armoured chassis rated to take Justice League level punishment
Sung Jinwoo — Damage that would kill a hunter is shrugged off after his reawakening
Starfire — Withstands energy weapons that would kill a human outright
Monkey D. Luffy — Blunt force and bullets deform his body without injuring it
Saitama — Emerges undamaged from attacks that destroy the surrounding terrain
Doomsday — Adapts to become immune to whatever killed him previously
Doomsday — His creation by repeated death and cloning is the stated mechanism for the adaptation
Sung Jinwoo — Takes wounds that would kill a rank-S hunter and continues
Sung Jinwoo — Regeneration and durability both scale as he levels
Cyborg — Armoured chassis withstands attacks that would kill his human half
Cyborg — Damaged components are replaced rather than healed — the stated trade
All Might — Absorbs blows that destroy the surrounding buildings and keeps standing
All Might — His injury places a shrinking daily limit on the powered form — a hard clock on super strength
Neutron — His containment suit is what keeps him alive as much as it protects others
Neutron — Without the suit his body would disperse, the stated condition he lives under
Luke Cage — Bullets flatten against his skin without penetrating
Mera — Withstands full ocean-trench pressure unprotected
Mera — Takes energy attacks that would kill a human without lasting injury
Killer Frost — Immune to cold entirely, and unharmed by her own output
Killer Frost — Heat-based attacks feed her instead of hurting her, which makes Firestorm a poor counter
Black Lightning — Immune to electrical attack, including his own output
Black Lightning — Absorbs an incoming current rather than being harmed by it
Sub-Zero — Immune to cold, including his own output
Denki Kaminari — Immune to his own current, though not to anyone else's
Denki Kaminari — Absorbs an electrical attack rather than being harmed by it
Supergirl — Bullets and shells flatten against her without effect
Supergirl — Kryptonite and magic affect her exactly as they do Superman
General Zod — Withstands attacks that would destroy a city
General Zod — Kryptonite and red sunlight remove his advantage entirely
The Thing — His rock hide turns aside munitions without injury
The Thing — He cannot revert at will, which is the tragedy the character is built on
The Thing — Needs no protection in vacuum for short periods
The Thing — Brief reversions to human form are always undone, deliberately
Bizarro — Conventional weapons have no effect on him
Bizarro — Blue kryptonite affects him where green does not, the inversion applied to weaknesses
Ocean Master — Withstands full trench pressure unprotected
Ocean Master — His claim to the throne is written as legally sound, which complicates him
Bizarro — Survives attacks that would destroy conventional weapons entirely
Kenpachi Zaraki — Takes wounds that would kill any other captain and keeps fighting
Kenpachi Zaraki — Fights one-handed by choice as a self-imposed handicap
Kenpachi Zaraki — Survives injuries that would kill any other captain, repeatedly
