Nigh Invulnerability/Web Original

Examples of Nigh Invulnerability in Web Original works include:

In the Whateley Universe, they have all of the above. Lancer (and plenty of the villains) is Made Of Diamond. Phase and Jinn Sinclair are Made Of Air (due to completely different powers). Aqueous is The Blob, being composed of living water. Jody Cooms is Made Of Rubber and even calls herself Plastic Girl. Carmilla and Tennyo have the regeneration thing down: Carmilla has been torn in half, and another time decapitated (she was meditating and literally didn't notice until she found the decapitated head which also hadn't died); both fall into the projected avatar/FightingAShadow category. The unstoppable supervillain Deathlist is of the Good Thing You Can Heal type: he's a forcefield-protected head on a robot body with the ability to teleport the head to safety in the worst case scenario; he has killed more superheroes than any other villain in history.
SCP Foundation's SCP-682 has Adaptive Ability and From a Single Cell on top of its Super Toughness.
The Global Guardians PBEM Universe has characters that fit all of the categories on both sides of the law:
- Byelobog really is the "White God" Byelobog from Slavic myth, while Ganesha really is the Indian elephant god.
- Crusader is protected from harm by the power of God himself, as is Mercy, the Anthropomorphic Personification of the popular concept of angels.
- The Shield and Stone are Made of Diamond, as is the Powered Armor worn by the appropriately-named superheroine Diamond.
- La Fantomas is Made of Air.
- Mercury is a liquid metal Blob.
- Cascade and Sand are Made of Rubber (well, Made of Water and Made of Sand, respectively, but the effect is the same).
- Splatterman is a supervillain whose regenerative powers are so quick and effective that he's pretty much immune to all harm.
- Tsugha is an Eldritch Abomination whose "body" is only a part of the larger creature that exists in another dimension entirely.
- Slave is a remote-controlled Super Robot Proxy that's been destroyed dozens of times. Its operator keeps rebuilding him,
- Swarm, a mutant who can transform into a horde of cockroaches and seems to conjure new insects out of thin air when the old ones are crushed and destroyed.
- Los Hermanos has thousands of duplicate bodies and has survived his own "death" dozens of times.
- Fiasco is lucky, and can cause other people to be unlucky. He avoids injury by following Mr. Myagi's advice: "Best defende, no be dere."
In Fine Structure, the Powers are all of the "made of diamond" version. It takes a diamond-tipped syringe to break Arika's skin, and even not even that will work on Jason. But both of them pale in compairison to Anne Poole, who is possibly the single most indestructible object in existence. When she gets thrown into a black hole, the Universe breaks before she does.
The AI gods of Orion's Arm are so invulnerable that one of them engineered an all out war against itself just so it didn't have to expend any energy scraping off some outdated armor.
In Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, Hero Antagonist Captain Hammer has Super Strength plus apparent invulnerability, as in at least one scene he appears prepared to stop a runaway van with his body. This is subverted in Act III when the explosion of Dr. Horrible's malfunctioning Death Ray causes Captain Hammer to experience pain for the first time in his life, revealing him as a Miles Gloriosus.
Red vs. Blue has the Meta, who has survived the following: a missile pod missile, sustained Gatling gun fire, Tex, several point-blank shotgun rounds, a knife in both shoulders and getting stabbed in the torso with the energy sword.
Trogdor the Burninator in his second appearance in Peasant's Quest (A parody of the King's Quest line of games) is invulnerable when you try to kill him. But congratulations on getting to the end!
Salem from RWBY suffers from this as a punishment inflicted on her by the brother gods who created the world, and whom she incited an army to attack because she had a grudge against them. Nothing that can be done to her will kill her -- she can even come back from being vaporized, reassembling herself in a matter of seconds. After untold thousands of years she wants it to stop -- and she's willing to bring about the end of the world to make it.
