'''Daredevil:''' Try it with [[SuperSenses hyper-senses]].

Maybe a soldier has fought his way through an entire enemy platoon and endured bullet wounds without complaint. Maybe an AdventureArchaeologist has made his way through a {{Booby trap}} and snake and spider-infested Pharaoh's tomb in a relaxed way, while constantly making wisecracks. It doesn't matter, because when the action is over and his wounds must be treated, he ''will'' wince the instant a bandage or cotton swab soaked in antiseptic touches his skin.

Maybe a soldier has shot his way through an entire army without complaint. Maybe an AdventureArchaeologist has been through a trap-filled tomb while constantly making wisecracks.

* ''{{LightNovel/Durarara}}'' subverts this with Heiwajima Shizuo. While he already was established at having such superhuman physical capabilities that almost nothing could actually endanger his life, the end to episode 22 makes it seem as though he actually has been seriously injured, by way of [[spoiler: multiple gunshots]]. However, we find that in episode 23, [[spoiler:he has walked all the way to Shinra's apartment unaided with little difficulty; he then claims that at first, he ''hadn't even noticed he'd been shot'' until he saw the blood, merely thinking he slipped and fell in the rain. The specific trope's subversion comes into play as Shinra is removing the bullets from his wounds and bandaging them up: he shows no indication of being affected by it at all, and in fact berates Shinra ''while he's operating on him'', demanding that he hurry it up so he can go and get his revenge]]. That's just how he is...
