History Main / FeelNoPain

* In ''ComicBook/AllNewWolverine'', Alchemax attempts to duplicate the super-soldier ComicBook/{{X 23}} repeatedly and strips the resulting clones of their ability to feel pain before four of them escape. The youngest of them, [[YouAreNumberSix X23_4GAB]] a.k.a. Gabby, turns out to be the only one who inherited Laura's HealingFactor and [[GoodThingYouCanHeal abuses it far more lightly]] than most who must bear even transitory pain (i.e., severing a middle finger as a gag gift for ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}).
* Midnighter from ''ComicBook/TheAuthority'' has the ability to turn his pain receptors on and off. [[http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Midnighter_(Wildstorm_Universe)#Powers_and_Abilities He's fought with a broken neck, amongst other things.]]
* The one-time ''ComicBook/TheAvengers'' villain Monsieur Khruul employs a group of henchmen who have been injected with a special drug that prevents them from feeling pain. Swordsman finds this out [[CurbStompBattle the hard way]].
* Butterball in ''ComicBook/AvengersTheInitiative'' has NighInvulnerability and complete immunity to pain but is obese and weak. Unfortunately, [[BlessedWithSuck he also can't feel anything else, and his invulnerability means he can't lose weight or improve his muscle tone]]. He reveals this when a teammate offers to have sex with him, as normally her fire abilities would [[PowerIncontinence burn]] her partner. He explains that while he wouldn't be hurt, he also [[CantHaveSexEver wouldn't be able to get any enjoyment out of the act]].
* Deconstructed with one-shot ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' villain the Gork. In addition to giving him enhanced strength and durability and adding shields grafted under his flesh in certain areas, the experiments that made him superhuman also removed his ability to feel pain. However, because he couldn't feel pain, he didn't know he was overexerting himself until it was too late. So his inability to experience pain ended up killing him.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Cruelty}}'', one character is punched in the face and bloodied. He is kneed in the groin. He feels none of it and proceeds to hand out an ass-kicking. [[spoiler: He is drugged to the gills.]]
* One issue of ''ComicBook/GlobalFrequency'' has a special operative of the titular organization called in to deal with an assassin who stole his [[MasterOfYourDomain biofeedback techniques]] (pain-negation) techniques. What ensues is a brutal, bloody brawl that fails to incapacitate either combatant until the operative ''rips off the assassin's arm'' and ''shoves it down his throat''.

* ''ComicBook/LobsterRandom'' has this as a result of [[spoiler:his claws]]. It also gives him no empathy whatsoever with his torture victims.
* In ''ComicBook/MarshalLaw'', superheroes created by the US government have a spinal implant that blocks pain signals.
* Traditionally, zombies and many other undead don't feel pain -- their nervous systems aren't running. Alternatively, they feel, but not pain. This is used in ''ComicBook/MarvelZombies'' for the creepifying factor -- a bone tears its way out of Bruce Banner's stomach, and he reports in horror that it doesn't hurt... ''but he can still feel it''.
* In ''ComicBook/NextMen'', Bethany is [[NighInvulnerability Nigh-Invulnerable]], but the side-effect of this is that she can't feel ''any'' physical sensation, including pain.

* In ''ComicBook/{{Venom}}'', the Xenophage explains that its species does not have pain receptors.
* Played realistically in an issue of ''ComicBook/XMen''. Professor X feels no pain in his lower legs because he's paraplegic. He was crawling through a tunnel and caught a snag; when he ripped himself free, he didn't realize until later that he had ''ripped the skin on his leg'' and was worried that he'd bleed to death before reaching the X-Men.
