[[Weaksauce Weakness|Weaksauce Weaknesses]] are great to exploit, but [[Captain Obvious|suck to have]]. However, clever and enterprising creatures of the night, aliens, mutants, robots or what-have-you's can create a limited resistance or immunity by counteracting its effects. [[Kill It with Fire|Vulnerable to fire?]] Asbestos-fiber suit! [[Holy Burns Evil|Holy objects repel?]] Wear a [[For Science!|Darwin-fish]] [[Hollywood Atheist|necklace!]] Does [[Kill It with Water|water dissolve you?]] Coat yourself in water-proof paste! This doesn't even need to be limited to clothing, a [[Weakened by the Light|sun-blocking satellite]] and a [[Protective Charm]] are among many possibilities to counter their weaknesses.
Usually this resistance is [[Power At a Price|limited in some way]], it may be bulky or conspicuous, [[It Only Works Once|only works once]], or rubs off over time. It's also possible for an enemy to somehow nullify the resistance with a counter... [[Crazy Prepared|unless they have a counter to that counter]].
Commonly used in response to the [[Kryptonite Factor]] when [[Kryptonite Is Everywhere]]. Speaking of Kryptonite, it certainly helps when you're [[Fight Off the Kryptonite|trying to fight it off]]. Contrast [[Flaw Exploitation]].

* An episode of ''[[The Powerpuff Girls]]'' involves the head honcho of thing that go bump in the night, The Boogie Man, launching a giant disco ball into space to block out the sun so all the monsters can come out during the day and party ALL NIGHT LONG!
* Zim of ''[[Invader Zim]]'' is burned by water, so he cooks up a paste-based film coating to protect himself.
* On the ''[[Futurama]]'' episode "A Tale Of Two Santas", Leela tries to destroy [[Bad Santa|Robot Santa]] with a [[Logic Bomb|paradox]]. Unfortunately, Santa comes equipped with paradox-absorbing crumple zones.
** [[Fridge Logic|Though to be fair, Leela didn't actually use a paradox.]]
