Description
Sometimes called "enhanced durability", Superhuman Durability is a term used to describe the ability of some characters to withstand unnaturally high levels of physical harm. It differs from invulnerability because they can still sustain damage from a sufficient source. Some characters may only withstand sharp attacks, blunt attacks or are vulnerable to energy.
Capabilities
The user's body-tissue, skin, muscles, bones, etc. are extremely dense/solid, allowing them to withstand harmful forces on the body such as crushing weights, impacts, pressures, changes in temperature, etc. In addition, users usually possess drastically enhanced levels of strength and stamina, due to how durable their body has become, allowing them to resist tearing muscles and/or breaking their bones.
