** In "The Frustrating Thing About Psychopaths" Henry is stabbed from behind by the killer, puncturing his lung and vena cava, and he's left on the front steps with the blade still going all the way through him, bleeding to death internally. Henry can't reach the hilt enough to remove the blade or even stabilize it, but he struggles to his feet and staggers inside and down a hallway to attack the killer, who is in the middle of strangling the Frenchman. In the ensuing struggle, [[spoiler: Henry is thrown back against a cabinet, then flung sideways across a door such that the doorframe slams into the hilt sideways, presumably swinging the blade through his abdomen even further, but even that doesn't stop Henry. Only when they both tumble down a flight of stairs is Henry taken out of the action, by a broken neck.]]

Added DiffLines:

* ''Series/{{Forever|2014}}'': Henry is injured just as easily as anyone else, and only heals naturally or when he [[ResurrectiveImmortality dies and vanishes]], but he occasionally pushes through injuries that should have been incapacitating.
** In the pilot, after getting shot, Jo is left barely conscious. Henry gets shot, and is able to not only get up, but charge the killer and tackle him hard enough to break a railing and send them both over the edge of the building doing so.

* ''Series/TheWalkingDead'': Rick has ''feet'' Made of Iron. He hobbles out of a hospital loading dock down metal mesh work stairs, wanders around a city, and rides a bike (pedals have some pretty big protrusions and ridges for traction) all completely barefoot. Granted, he probably has other things on his mind, but still...ow.

* ''[[Series/WonderWoman1975 Wonder Woman]]'': Major Steve Trevor is punched, struck, clubbed over the head, and knocked unconscious so many times that the time he'd have to spend in a hospital recovering from just the blows to his head would far outstrip all of World War II. For example, in "Wonder Woman meets Baroness von Gunther", Steve is knocked out in a barn with a beam so large that it was a significant demonstration of [[SuperStrength Wonder Woman's strength]] that she could lift it off of him and toss it away. That's right, this massive beam was still crushing the back of his neck when Wonder Woman arrived but he recovered without a problem.
* Vyvyan from the ''Series/TheYoungOnes''. At one point, [[TooDumbToLive he stuck his head out a train window,]] which leads to OffWithHisHead. His reaction? His body stops the train and walks out to get his body while his head yells at him for taking too long. Another time he ate a television set to hide it from the bill collector, only for it to be plugged in and he was electrocuted. Minor shock.

* ''Series/TheMuppetShow'': Beaker regularly gets electrocuted, set on fire, has body parts fall off (his nose once, and his hair twice), and other such comedic accidents, but every time, he survives it and comes back without a scratch on him. On one occasion, he survived being ''turned into a ghost''.

** Charles Gunn has survived things that would certainly kill even the supernatural characters. At one point in Season 5 he gets trapped in a Hell Dimension where he has to get his heart cut out god knows how many times, TheDragon Hamilton comes in and offers him a DealWithTheDevil and Gunn like a true badass refuses instead choosing the torture as punishment for his actions [[spoiler: i.e inadvertently getting Fred killed]], even Hamilton is somewhat amazed. In the last episode Gunn fights a army of vampires and shows up later bleeding to death but still able to stand.

* Charlie from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' is considered to be "nearly indestructable" by his friends, especially when it comes to [[ExtremeOmnivore eating]]. This is justified, as, among other things, Charlie has literally been shot in the head[[note]]with a flare gun[[/note]] with no repercussions.

* ''Series/ThePurge'': Being stabbed in the eye, shot in the chest while wearing a bulletproof vest and kneecapped have little effect on AngryWhiteMan Joe in the first season finale, whereas in real life most people would be incapacitated by the pain.

** Day 1: Grazing bullet wound to the gut. Overall it's one of the more minor ones on this list. Also had to contend with [[YouShouldKnowThisAlready Nina]] after this.
