*** Blanks inspire instinctive repulsion in almost all sentient beings. Because the soul itself resides in the Warp, being in the presence of one is disturbing because you can subconsciously sense your very soul being suppressed. In weaker blanks, this is just a mild sense of discomfort. For the strongest blanks, known as Pariahs, it becomes homicidal rage. To a psyker, it's agonizing pain. Needless to say, blanks tend not to lead long lives unless they get trained to control their "gift".

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In the episode "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS1E6EscapeClause Escape Clause]]", a man makes a DealWithTheDevil to gain immortality, which is effectively immunity to death. He claims to have murdered his wife so that he can experience the electric chair, but his lawyer manages to get him life in prison. [[KarmicTwistEnding Since he can't die, he's going to be there a long time]]... at least until [[spoiler:the devil shows up and mercifully gives him a fatal heart attack]].

** Audrey, on the other hand, is [[AntiMagic immune to all the Troubles]]. This is mostly a positive, since it means she's able to tell when [[RippleEffectProofMemory something has gone wrong]] and keeps her from being affected by Troubles that change people's behavior It's a drawback, however, when the Troubled person is a RealityWarper. Being immune to the Troubles, she can't see what everyone else is seeing, and it makes it more difficult to help.

* ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder'': [[spoiler:Like in the comics, Jane's time as Thor occurs when she was dealing with a severe bout of cancer. Mjolnir's healing powers didn't register the cancer, but it did clean out the chemo drugs she was taking to deal with it. This would lead to her dying of the cancer by the end of the movie.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Minecraft}}'': The Illagers' [[BeastOfBattle Ravagers]] take [[ImmuneToFlinching 75% less Knockback from attacks]]. This backfires against the Villagers' Iron Golems, whose attacks cause a knockback that launches targets into the air and away from them, usually requiring the Golem to get back into range for the next attack. Due to the Ravager's knockback resistance, it gets knocked back a lot less further, allowing the Iron Golem to attack and kill them faster.
