Talk:Invulnerability

Immunity
It feels like we're lumping two different (though somewhat similar) powers under one name. One power could be defined as imperviousness/resistance to physical injury that might seriously harm or even kill a mortal being. The second could be defined as a creature's immunity to supernatural attack or weapons. They're not interchangeable, and some beings have one but not the other--and some have only shades of the powers, at that. For example, Sam is immune to other special children's powers, White Light, and other forms of demonic attack in certain situations, but he is not completely immune to demonic powers, not at all immune to attacks by other supernatural beings or forces, and not at all invulnerable to mortal damage or death. An arachne is invulnerable to bullets and fire, but not to decapitation. Demons are invulnerable to falling out a building and being stabbed, but most of them are not immune to holy water, salt, iron, exorcisms, or devil's traps, which all humans are immune to. Lucifer is immune to the Colt and Kali's fire, but he is not immune to Gabriel's telekinesis. Perhaps we could create a separate page for Immunity and list a character as having it if he shows resistance or imperviousness to supernatural powers, objects, forces, etc., and edit Invulnerability so that it is purely a show of resistance or imperviousness to physical pain, damage, injuries, mortality, etc., etc. Your thoughts, my dear fellows?NaiflidG (talk) 23:01, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
