History Main / InvincibleVillain

* Thawne. The man comes back from being killed off (as in [[RetGone complete obliteration from existence]]) repeatedly and only half of them get a {{Handwave}}, he is an extremely good manipulator and the only times Barry faces off against him that are not a CurbStompBattle in Thawne's favor are the season finales (with many of said defeats being something else other than the heroes weakening/killing him). [[spoiler:He also killed Barry's mom, and like [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}}} in the original comics]], the bad guy [[MakeWrongWhatOnceWentRight going back in time to ruin things]] goes flawlessly but the good guy trying to do something about it [[ButterflyOfDoom only brings misery]].]] It takes until the GrandFinale for him to finally get it for good.

* ''VideoGame/DyztopiaPostHumanRPG'': Although Asterisk can be defeated in a boss fight, it's clear he's holding back to a more reasonable level to challenge Akira. It turns out [[spoiler:he's actually Ophiuchus, the God of Cycles, and is so strong that he can oneshot Aphos, a powerful angel. Even the BigBad Zazz stood no chance in his past fight with Asterisk, which is why he had to negotiate with Asterisk in order to get the archdemons to revive humanity. In the ending, Akira doesn't bother trying to challenge Asterisk and instead seeks a compromise to delay humanity's revival long enough for the party to reform society]].

** Enel from Skypeia arc, even by the high standards later in the series and standards of other Devil Fruit users (Logia or otherwise) is nigh-unbeatable and ludicrously powerful. Case in point when Wyper uses [[KryptoniteFactor Seastone]] to render Enel tangible and use the Reject Dial on his heart he straight up kills Enel — who then proceeds to use his ShockAndAwe powers to (somehow) '''''restart his own goddamn heart''''' and come back to life and kick ass, the only similar feat from
a villain that comes close in the series is Domflamingo using his string powers to fix his organs after Law gets him with his Gamma Knife attack and even then Doflamingo didn’t just uno reverse card death like said aforementioned ArcVillain. It was only due to the good fortune of Luffy’s RubberMan nature being unaffected by Enel’s Devil Fruit that a victory could be won for the heroes. Hell, not even the vacuum of space can kill Enel as his cover story shows. There’s no telling how powerful Enel would be if SerialEscalation were applied to him, as it was with Rob Lucci.

* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'': [[spoiler:After decades of being hyped up as TheDreaded across the entire ''Frnachise/{{Nasuverse}}'', Lostbelt 7 finally introduces ORT, the [[UltimateLifeform Ultimate One]] of Mercury (although the Lostbelt reveals it is actually the Ultimate One of the Oort Cloud. The FinaBossPreview alike hammers in just how tough ORT - the fight is initially set up as though ORT has a single, million point health bar and one extra bar after that. But when you get past that bar, the symbol changes to reveal ''a total of ten heath bars, with the one you brown through being number one, and the next bar having ten million hit points''. Oh, and it should be noted that ORT is ''level 1'' during this fight. When you get to the actual fight at the climax of the Lostbelt, you have to fight ORT across multiple stages, with each break bar depleted causing it to change classes. Additionally, ORT not only has a plethora of debuts and buffs to make your fight miserable, but servants defeated by ORT are flat-out ''eaten'', [[ForcedCharacterSelection preventing you from using them again in the battle]]. And when you finally defeat the [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot cyborg space spider]], it pulls one more trick and ''hijacks the Throne of Heroes to summon itself as the Grand Foreigner'', something that should be '''''[[BeyondTheImpossible completely impossible]]'''''. And even when you defeat that, it summons itself ''again'', because it has a renewable catalyst in the form of your ally, Kukulkan, who is actually ORT's disembodied heart - defeating it for good requires her to pull a TakingMeWithYou on ORT via an attack that totally obliterates both of them, just to be sure that ORT can't come back. It's explicitly that ORT ''cannot'' be defeated by the power of mankind and Earth alone, and this fight proves why - ORT's CannibalismSuperpower allows it to subvert anything the world and humanity throws against it and use them ''better'' than we ever could. Oh, and just when it seemed like ORT was hopeless enough, the one you fight in Lostbelt 7 is actually ''weaker'' than the one in Proper Human History, precisely because it is missing its heart]].

** While more of an AntiVillain, [[Characters/MarvelComicsMagneto Magneto]] has been this for decades, to point where both X-Men and Avengers snark and express exasperation over how unkillable he is. Just power-wise Mags has the ability to kill everyone person with iron in their blood (which most living things) with his magnetism and even if you do land attacks on him he has barriers powerful enough block hits from Thor and Hercules. Even without putting his mutant powers into consideration he’s been absolute {{Determinator}} since Auschwitz who walk off and wiggle out of near death multiple times, everything from his asteroid crashing to being blasted by Exodus.

** Frieza is so far beyond any other characters when he is introduced that it's considered insane to even stand up to him. Going by power levels, Goku at the beginning of the series before he fights Raditz has roughly 2% of Vegeta's initial power. Vegeta has roughly 0.015% of Frieza's power at that time. Even when Goku first arrives on Namek after all his training, his power is still only 0.1% of Frieza's. He kills Krillin with barely a thought after [[NoSell shrugging off]] a [[FinishingMove fully powered Spirit Bomb]]. The only reason he didn't outright kill Goku or the other surviving heroes is because he enjoyed [[ColdBloodedTorture toying with them too much]], which eventually leads Frieza to push Goku to his RageBreakingPoint and make him ascend to Super Saiyan. Very few future villain (at least canon ones) enjoy such an enormous power advantage over the heroes, except for Cell (eventually), Buu [[PhysicalGod Beerus his twin Champa]], Jiren, Broly and Cell Max.

* ''Literature/TheBeginningAfterTheEnd'': As Arthur is an InvincibleHero, it is rather fitting that the BigBad Agrona Vritra is this trope to maintain the sense of narrative tension. Although Agrona has never been in any major direct confrontation, he is heavily implied to be much more stronger than Arthur due to being an [[PhysicalGods Asura]], and in the setting even [[ThoseWereOnlyTheirScouts the weakest of the Asuras]] can give the strongest mortal mages pause. However, where Agrona truly demonstrates his invincibility is that he is an unparalleled {{Chessmaster}} and ManipulativeBastard, able to OutGambit practically everyone else in the setting, including Kezess, the ruler of the Asuras who is also a {{Chessmaster}} and ManipulativeBastard in his own right. Case in point, every time Kezess sent assassins after him, Agrona was able to dispose of them and use these failed attacks to gain favorable terms over his nemesis. He was able to conceal his plan [[spoiler:to summon a being known as the Legacy, and by the time Kezess caught wind of it, the Legacy was already summoned. In his rashness, Kezess not only failed to kill the Legacy, but in doing so ended up obliterating all of Elenoir, an action that alienates not only the populace of Dicathen but also the rest of the Asuras. Not only that, he was able to [[NiceJobBreakingItHero take advantage of Arthur's decisions to further his own goals]], such as his introduction of a steam engine (which his servants reverse-engineered to create an armada of steamships) and the beast will he gave to Tessia (which gave him control over her life and later used to blackmail her parents into collaborating with him), as well as his liberal usage of TargetedToHurtTheHero to weaken Arthur. Even when Arthur CameBackStrong as a aether-wielding demigod, reconquered his homeland, and returned to Alacrya to assist Seris's rebellion, Agrona is unfazed by this sudden turn of events. He had already hunted down down most of Seris's supporters, forced her and her closest allies into hiding in the Relictombs, and was able to manipulate public opinion by framing Arthur for the murder of a Sovereign and directing their animosity towards him and the other Asuras]].

* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'' makes it abundantly clear that [[TheEmpire Big Brother and The Party]] are this. While ''theoretically'' they could be toppled by a rebellion among the proles, organizing such a rebellion would be virtually impossible, and their control of the flow of information is so tight that even for the people to know life would be better without them is impossible. And even if the regime was toppled in one of the three nations, there are still two more to attack the newly freed nation...
* The Literature/LincolnRhyme series relies heavily on these to fill out pages. Count the number of times Lincoln nearly closes in on the villain only for him or her to find a way to slip away unscathed, or for it to be revealed that it was all an elaborate ruse to distract Lincoln and the cops from the villain's real target / goal, or for the story to jump forward and reveal that they had their eyes on the wrong guy while the villain escaped in disguise, etc, etc.

* ''Literature/TheUnexploredSummonBloodSign'' has [[spoiler:the White Queen]], the most powerful being in the setting. She almost inevitably wins any fight; she's only defeated by somehow turning her own power against her or by making use of hundreds of Unexplored-Class Materials (each of which is ''more powerful than any god''). Even if she's destroyed in battle, she can never be permanently killed. Kyousuke can generally foil her individual plans, but this doesn't matter to her. Because she's [[spoiler:in love with him, any opportunity to see him is its own reward. And being immortal, she has literally all the time in the world for one of her plans to succeed]].
* ''Literature/BloodMeridian'' has a possibly literal example in [[spoiler:Judge Holden]]. While it's [[MaybeMagicMaybeMundane never made entirely clear]] what's going on with him, his unusual appearance, apparent ability to be in more than one place at a time, [[ManipulativeBastard unnatural skills of persuasion]],and physical strength ''well'' beyond what seems appropriate even for someone his size ([[spoiler:at one point he one-hand's ''a Howitzer'']]) suggest that he is likely some sort of HumanoidAbomination. [[spoiler:One character tells another not to be an idiot when he suggests killing the Judge, after seeing what Holden is capable of]]. The last line of the book is a description of [[spoiler:the victorious Judge dancing naked in a bar, loudly declaring that he will never die]].

** Yhwach's power "The Almighty", allows him to manipulate and nullify any foe's special abilities just by observing it once, and gives him the ability to see everywhere and everywhen, allowing him to counter possible futures. His Quincies are infected with pieces of his soul, allowing him to absorb their souls and abilities, empowering him when they die. [[spoiler:He easily defeats Yamamoto, Ichibei and Ichigo, uses Ichigo's power-ups to gain access to the Soul King, whom he wishes to destroy. He is so overwhelmingly powerful that all the series’ heroes and villains -- including [[Godzillathreshold Aizen]] -- team up together to stop him; it also requires a special arrow crafted from Yhwach's secret weakness being fired by Uryuu, who is uniquely immune to Yhwach's power. Even then after he’s finally defeated, Yhwach’s corpse is turned into the new Soul King to protect the balance between worlds.]]

** '''[[PredecessorVillain Madara Uchiha]]''', perhaps one of the most ridiculous examples of this trope in all of fiction. [[spoiler:Even though he's supposedly been dead for a while, he eventually comes back as an immortal, regenerating being with unlimited [[{{Mana}} chakra]], can summon a massive Susanoo construct that causes a high degree of damage by simply swinging its sword, and is capable of creating clones both indistinguishable from and as powerful as himself. Seven of the strongest people in existence barely inconvenienced him, and even Naruto has failed to significantly hinder him. But even when it seems that the heroes finally find a way to beat him, [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands he simply pulls out a new ability from nowhere]], or [[DiabolusExMachina an unexpected event happens which plays to his advantage]], [[AssPull even if was previously shown to be impossible]]. WordOfGod states he has no weaknesses. Even though one of the morals of the series was supposed to be that the new generations would surpass the old, to Madara this apparently does not apply. As it stands, he has almost every power in the series available to him, and is inexplicably more powerful than anything that should be able to kill or wound him. Kishimoto stated at Jump Festa 2014 that OnlyTheAuthorCanSaveThemNow had hit WritersBlock at this point. The solution he came up with was for Madara to be backstabbed by Kaguya Ōtsutsuki, one of only two beings who is truly stronger than him, and for her to take over as the villain. [[AntiClimaxBoss And then Kaguya puts up much less of a fight then Madara ever did]] (so that there is less than any other antagonist in the series) and is defeated in about ten chapters while it took Madara over a hundred ([[ArcFatigue nearly a sixth of the]] ''[[ArcFatigue entire series]]'') to finally go down.]]

** But even then, [[spoiler:the Light is not defeated. Most of the members go scot free and Savage is able to salvage some of his plan, by using the Warworld to threaten the rest of the galaxy to stay away from Earth. At the very end, he steps onto Apokolips itself and is revealed to have a working relationship with Darkseid. And in [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueOutsiders season three]] they ''still'' come roaring back, destroying the Justice League's operational capacity through [[MutantDraftBoard political dissent]] in a matter of weeks and forcing them to do the faked-but-not-faked-well-enough-[[AesopAmnesia because they learnt nothing from the last time they pulled an undercover scheme]] schism that is the "[[GodzillaThreshold dire, desperate attempt to bring the fight to the Light]]" this season]].

** ComicBook/{{Apocalypse}}, while he has suffered VillainDecay now and then, is still this for the most part. At his least powerful he's effectively matched both Thor and Hulk and endured their attacks, taken on entire teams of X-Men and Avengers, kicked the shit out of both Phoenix and Nate Grey, both Omega Level Telepaths, and in ''ComicBook/AgeOfApocalypse'' AlternateUniverse even killed a Celestial. Even if you can kill him (which is extremely difficult thanks to his Celestial armour), he can still regenerate FromASingleCell thanks to his molecular manipulation powers, meaning he unless you can destroy him completely and utterly, he will come back. However it's worth noting he is much less invincible without the Death Seed that the Celestial gave him.

** [[spoiler: [[FallenHero Griffith/Femto]]]] is a PhysicalGod in a mostly LowFantasy setting (and most of the non-LowFantasy elements are his direct minions). He can NoSell cannonballs, magic lightning and even [[spoiler:a RealityWarper sword forged over hundreds of years specifically to kill him]]. He mentions he's a VillainWithGoodPublicity to the point where most of the world believes he's the second coming of CrystalDragonJesus; it's been stated that trying to fight him, let alone beat him, would be akin to the characters in a story trying to challenge the author. [[spoiler:Griffith does at least one major weakness however, he is explicitly SharingABody with Guts and Casca’s son whose form he used to become corporal again. This means despite his supremacy Femto can still be affected by the toddler whose body he is inhabiting i.e come the full moon the child takes Griffith over and goes to pay his parents a visit. Griffith seeing this a threat to his plans, soon has to kidnap Casca under the [[TheChessmaster reasonable assumption]] the child won’t leave Falconia if his mother is there.]]
** The [[OurDemonsAreDifferent Godhand]]. Because they can casually manipulate the currents of destiny itself, they are practically untouchable and cannot be killed through conventional means. [[spoiler: However, Guts' Dragonslayer ''has'' directly managed to harm Slan's physical manifestation, and several characters such as the Skull Knight and Schierke have speculated that the Dragonslayer has bathed itself in so much demonic blood that it is capable of harming any supernatural creature. And reveals of Skull Knight's own past in the Fantasia arc reveal that Godhand members have fallen in the past]].

* ComicBook/{{Darkseid}} veers into this territory, especially after his ''ComicBook/FinalCrisis'' appearances after all his 90's VillainDecay had been reversed. Not only is he by far the single most powerful being in [[Franchise/TheDCU the entire DCU]][[labelnote:*]]those Creator/{{Vertigo|Comics}} guys like Michael and The Endless were ExiledFromContinuity and replaced with pale imitations who were of no help[[/labelnote]], to even reach him in the first place, you have to go through his armies and lieutenants, most of which rival Franchise/{{Superman}} in power level. He's powerful enough that [[NoSell most attacks won't even feel like a breeze to him]], his physical strength outclasses Superman's, ''and'' he possesses the Omega Beams, which can basically do anything he wants. And of course, he's TheChessmaster, always three steps ahead of all his enemies. Subverted again in ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueIncarnate'' where the Empty Hand the Right-Hand of the Great Darkness quite literally [[CurbStompBattle stomps]] Darkseid in True Form. In fairness while Darkseid is omnipotent within the DC multiverse, outside of it he’s still pretty much a fledgling compared to a conceptual entity like the Great Darkness.

*** [[spoiler:This gets zigzagged in the series' official mobile game. Walpurgis is defeated, but it takes almost the entire cast introduced up to that point to kill her, and even then, they needed a blessing from Madoka to win.]]

* Under a bad writer, the Comicbook/TeenTitans' archnemesis Slade Wilson/ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}} can be this. His most infamous showing was in ''ComicBook/{{Identity Crisis|2004}}'', in which he demonstrated faster reflexes than even ComicBook/TheFlash and enough willpower to convince a ComicBook/GreenLantern ring to not attack him''. The encounter ends with half the ComicBook/{{Justice League|OfAmerica}} on the floor spitting up blood, and Slade quipping that this League, made up mostly of new faces (in ComicBookTime terms, anyway) to superheroing, is so much weaker than the old one... despite the fact that many of them (Wally in particular) are ''far'' more powerful than their predecessors. He is only taken down because ComicBook/GreenArrow catches him off guard and shoves an arrow into his blind eye. You'd think that an [[EyeScream arrow to the eye]] would have done something more than force him to retreat, but he was just fine afterwards.[[note]]To be fair, it was more a BerserkButton that made Slade lose total focus and get sloppy rather than any damage.[[/note]]

* ''Franchise/SpiderMan'':

* Outside of an adult Titan (who are all dead), [[Characters/TheOwlHouseTheCollector The Collector] from ''WesternAnimation/TheOwlHouse'' is so far out of the league of anything in the Demon Realm that he might as well be a god. The primary thing keeping him from killing the heroes with a snap of his fingers is that he doesn't want to kill them. [[spoiler:Even with that handicap, they still cannot defeat the Collector, just convince him to give up. Sure enough, he ends up making a HeelFaceTurn]].

** ComicBook/GreenGoblin much like his AlternateCompanyEquivalent Joker appears to be impossible to kill or at least [[JokerImmunity for very long]]. He’s been sniped in the chest, blown up, brutally battered by Spider-Man, Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, hit with Songbird’s SuperScream which can shatter granite liquify trees and famously stabbed through the heart with his own glider and thanks to his HealingFactor CameBackStrong. Perhaps what makes Norman so hard to kill is own insane VillainousValor and indomitable will as much like his ArchEnemy Spidey he will keep clinging to life and fighting on, being a colossal thorn in the good guys’ side well after many more powerful villains [[KnowWhenToFoldThem would’ve just called it a day]].

* [[Characters/MarvelComicsDemons Mephisto]] everyone’s favourite BigRedDevil unfortunately appears to be this. He’s been blasted by Galactus and Silver Surfer, hit with an anti-matter bomb, reduced Thor and Doctor Strange’s best attacks to TheWorfBarrage and was even okay after TheChosenOne RealityWarper Franklin Richards went all out on him. Mephisto (along with his son/creation Blackheart) has also endured being the perrieal punching bag of ComicBook/GhostRider in various comics with Johnny and co never being able to definitively beat put him down, Alejandra Jones got pretty damn close ripping Mephisto‘s heart out but didn’t kill him due to Mephisto claiming if she did hell would be let loose upon the university. According to Doctor Strange so along as evil as exists as a concept so will Mephisto. He’s also got his own version of ActuallyADoombot with lesser demons taking his shape which can account for some his jobbings.

* Deconstructed with Heimdall from VideoGame/GodOfWarRagnarok. Being the right-hand man of Odin, Heimdall has the power of foresight, which allows him to see the attacks of his opponents before they even happen, which, by all accounts, would make Heimdall impossible to fight. Instead, this ability ends up going to Heimdall's head, causing him to be arrogant and cocky, and as a result is complacent in his fighting abilities because no one has ever actually hit him...[[spoiler:That is until he fights Kratos, who by comparison has centuries' worth of fighting experience behind him and is wielding the Draupnir Spear which has the ability to duplicate itself and explode, which allows Kratos to close the gap between him and Heimdall and eventually finally land a blow and draw blood. The realization that he is NotSoInvincibleAfterAll, and that he has to actually work for this win, [[VillainousBreakdown psychologically rattles Heimdall]], who ends up getting reduced to a flailing snarling beast who loses his foresight ability because he forgets how dodging works, allowing Kratos to gradually wear him down and eventually strangle him to death [[PapaWolf for threatening to kill Atreus.]]]]
