{{quote| '''V:''' Did you think to kill me? There's no flesh and blood within this cloak to kill. There's only an idea. Ideas are bullet-proof.}}
* Tallulah Black from ''[[Jonah Hex]]'' has survived things like being shot in the head, being horribly mutilated, and {{spoiler|having a baby cut out of her}}. And of course, Hex himself has gone through all of the above (except the last bit) and more ''many'' times, and with only 19th century frontier medicine (sometimes!) available to bring him back.
* [[Sgt Rock (Comic Book)|Sgt. Rock]] often takes a hell of a beating. This trope also applies, unsurprisingly, to his [[Arch Enemy]], "The Iron Major".
* [[Taskmaster]]. Neither getting rammed by a speeding car, nor shot repeatedly, nor being kicked in the face by an enraged [[Spider-Man]] so hard that his body punches an economy-sized hole through the (in all likelihood heavily armoured) wall of the armoury in his hideout/gym will do more than slow him down momentarily.
* In ''Cruelty'', Reis Northcotte is bloodied by a punch and [[Groin Attack|kneed in the groin]], but shows no pain. {{spoiler|This tips off the school nurse that Reis is [[Functional Addict|drugged to the gills.]]}}
Line 176:
* ''[[James Bond (film)|James Bond]]''
** Mild [[Lampshade Hanging]] in the film ''[[Never Say Never Again]]''. Bond visits a health spa in the opening of the film and a doctor notes that his body "seems to be mainly scar tissue".
** Much of the plot of ''[[The World Is Not Enough (Film)|The World Is Not Enough]]'' revolves around the fact that Bond gets a tough-to-heal-from injury early in the film. Doesn't stop him from kicking butt, he just winces manfully when the injury is smacked around.
** The Bond villain Jaws is an even better example, taking massive amounts of punishment in his appearances in ''[[The Spy Who Loved Me]]'' and ''[[Moonraker]]'' and still surviving. (His ''teeth'' are literally made of iron.)
** In ''[[Goldeneye]]'', somehow, some way, Janus is not killed by being inside a chemical weapons plant when it exploded... even though ''he is standing right next to the gas tanks with the explosives on them''. The worst he walked away with was slight scarring on the side of his face. Then he survived {{spoiler|what seems to be a ''1-mile-fall'' from a giant parabolic antenna and into an empty, concrete dam. Granted, he wasn't in great shape, but he was still alive.}} How a regular human could survive this is a downright impossibility. It took {{spoiler|the entire antenna collapsing on top of his head}} to finally kill him.
