9	* ''Series/AgentsOfSHIELD'': The Ghost Rider is virtually unstoppable; Daisy's powers only slowed him down, he punched his way out of a containment module no other powered being has ever breached through force, Mace barely stood his ground in a straight fight with the Rider, and the ghosts posed no threat to him whatsoever. The only time he ever seemed seriously threatened was when he was bombarded with lethal amounts of radiation, subjected to impossible quantum fluctuations, and impaled twice through the chest with giant spikes. Even then, he was still alive and fully capable of holding a conversation despite the intense pain. [=SHIELD=] recruits him instead of bringing him in for multiple murders because a) most of their enemies are people Ghost Rider would target anyway, and b) there's absolutely nothing they could do to stop him. [[spoiler: Even [[ArcVillain Aida]], who has the powers of multiple Inhumans, runs away in terror whenever he gets close.]]
10	* ''Series/{{Angel}}''
11	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FWLsCoNEc4 The Beast]] ''dear god'' the boys Angel, Wesley, Gunn and Lorne throw literally everything they've got at him (including MoreDakka from Wes) and just he [[NoSell no sells all of it]] while kicking their asses into next week. Even with Faith (a Slayer) couldn't faze him, [[spoiler: the only thing that can kill him is a knife he crafted from his own bones, which [[SuperPoweredEvilSide Angelus]] [[InTheBack shanks]] him with in a sneak attack]].
12	** In the first episode that Hamilton appears in, he is The Juggernaut. In the FinalBattle he effortlessly overpowers Illyria below, Connor and Angel and isn't effected by any attacks. [[spoiler: [[FatalMistake Unfortunately]] during his EvilGloating to Angel he reveals that he has the [[PowerOfTheBlood blood]] of the Senior running through his veins, Angel (a vampire) quickly takes advantage of this]].
13	** [[PhysicalGod Illyria]] even more so before she got [[DePower depowered]] by Wesley's black hole gun. Before this she could [[TimeMaster stop time]] and at one point effortlessly kills Spike, Wesley, Lorne, and Angel in a confrontation before time gets reset and Wes brings her down [[BroughtDownToBadass to a less godly level]].
14	* ''Series/{{Arrowverse}}'':
15	** Supergirl. While downplayed in [[Series/Supergirl2015 her own show]] thanks to how powerful the villains are, her appearance in the 2016 crossover special shows that she's ''absurdly'' overpowered compared with Earth-1's heroes, with their training consisting of Kara hovering in one spot while easily countering any attempt to so much as touch her. It's telling that The Flash wasn't involved in the training, and when she became BrainwashedAndCrazy, he ''used'' her being a Juggernaut to his advantage by virtue of being fast and tricking her into destroying the MindControlDevice.
16	** ''Series/TheFlash2014'''s version of [[KillerGorilla Grodd]]. While dangerous enough with his PsychicPowers, as a physical threat he is for all purposes of the series unbeatable. In his first encounter with the Flash he caught a supersonic punch that had earlier been used to defeat a {{Nigh Invulnerab\|ility}}le villain and every subsequent blow on him had no effect until the Flash threw him in front of a subway train. Even this only inconvenienced him as he was pushed to another location; getting hit by the train didn't do any real damage. When he reappears in Season 2 the Flash is just as powerless against him [[spoiler: and Grodd is only stopped by sending him to a parallel Earth where he'll be happy and won't hurt anybody. And now Grodd wants revenge, assembling an army of sentient gorillas and planning to invade Earth 1 using the "vibing" power of the mind-controlled Gypsy, after Barry defeated the more sensible Solovar, resulting in Grodd usurping control over Gorilla City]].
17	* ''Series/BabylonFive'':
18	** In the BackStory, the Earth-Minbari War went this way, with the Minbari playing the part of the giant cart. The Minbari had an advantage in hyperspace technology (allowing them to unleash devestating {{Hyperspeed Ambush}}es), as well as very effective [[StealthInSpace stealth technology]], meaning that they could wipe out half of a human fleet before the humans had a chance to acquire their targets.
19	** In the show's setting, the Shadows' warships [[spoiler:and later the Vorlons as well]] play this role versus the younger races in battle. Taking a Shadow Battlecrab out in open combat usually requires multiple ships acting in concert laying into it, or having friendly telepaths lay down the PsychicStatic to temporarily disable the Shadow ships.
20	* ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'':
21	** Adam. It's obvious that everything before the enjoining spell had no effect on him.
22	** Glory, even more so than Adam. Being a PhysicalGod, Glory is pretty much unstoppable.
23	** Before either of them, there was Mayor Wilkins, who was completely impervious to all forms of harm for the 100 days immediately before [[spoiler:becoming a full-blown demon. His demon form ''could'' be killed, but [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill you would need a pretty insane amount of destructive power to do so]]]].
24	* ''Series/ChouseishinSeries'':
25	** Cabryon, the FinalBoss of ''Series/ChouseishinGransazer'', to the point of deflecting all of the Chouseishin's attacks and blasting [[CombiningMecha DaiSazer]] apart before it had a chance to be fully formed.
26	** [[BigBad Kaiser Hades]] proves to be this once he [[OneWingedAngel assumes]] his daikaiju form in ''Series/GenseishinJustiriser'', throwing off all of the Genseishin's attacks up until they unlock [[MidSeasonUpgrade Ryutos]].
27	** Dark Geran in ''Series/ChouseiKantaiSazerX'' is virtually implacable, both for being incredible durability and its ability to infect its opponents with [[TheCorruption darkness corruption]] that wears them down simply by touching them.
28	* ''Series/DoctorWho'':
29	** Daleks frequently wind up in this role.
30	*** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E6Dalek "Dalek"]] is a particularly good demonstration: the Dalek goes on a rampage, killing over 200 people in the process. It is only stopped because Rose manages to talk it down because it was contaminated with her DNA, not because of any weapons.
31	*** Dalekanium is possibly the best armour in the Whoniverse, rendering weapons from any time useless against the Daleks. On top of that, they have a forcefield that ''vaporizes'' bullets a few inches from their shells, and they seem impervious to energy weaponry as well. If there's ever a weapon with enough sheer output to kill a Dalek, it either tends to be a one-shot that burns itself out in the process, or is carried by another Dalek, as their weaponmaking is even ''better'' than their armouring, and can thus one-shot anyone.
32	** A less obvious answer: the Flood in [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E16TheWatersOfMars "The Waters of Mars"]]. As the Doctor says in the episode, water is patient — it might be slow, but the only way to ''stop'' it is by blowing up the whole base.
33	** [[Recap/DoctorWhoS37E5TheTsurangaConundrum "The Tsuranga Conundrum"]]: The Pting can eat through anything that would attempt to restrain them or block their path, and cannot be harmed by any known weapon. The ship's computer simply advises staying far away from them.
34	* The Ganmeisers of ''Series/KamenRiderGhost'' are near-immortal guardians of the Ganma World [[spoiler: and the mysterious Great Eye]] with ElementalPowers to boot.
35	* In ''Series/TheMandalorian'', there are the Dark Troopers, mechanical weapons of destruction designed to replace the normal Storm Trooper. Shoot them OutOfTheAirlock? Oops, they got rocket thrusters. Shoot them with blaster bolts? Armor's tough enough to withstand that. Flamethrower? Tank that. A Flying Bird used by Mandalorians? Sorry, not a scratch. It takes an group of fighters, three of which being Mandalorians and one of which being [[spoiler:Boba Fett himself]], to take it down. Thankfully, when they deal with a group of them, there's one threat to them that takes them out: [[spoiler:Another Jedi, in this case ''Luke Skywalker himself''.]]
36	* In ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'', season 4 dealt with the Dark Matter Anomaly. The mysterious NegativeSpaceWedgie proved to be a baffling yet extremely dangerous anomaly. Spanning a whopping ''five light years wide''[[note]]For comparison, our Solar System to Alpha Centauri is 4.3 light years.[[/note]], it created a gravitational disturbance that ripped planets apart. Attacking it with Quantum Torpedoes proved useless, deploying probes just left them destroyed, using a super weapon in the center of the anomaly brought in through unique transporation methods destroyed it... only for its creators to make a new one right where it was before, even stronger. The Federation had to initiate FirstContact on the complete and utter fear that their ''weapons'' were stronger than this.
37	* In ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'', the titular superweapon of the episode "The Doomsday Machine". A massive funnel-like device the length of multiple ''Constitution''-class starships, its entire hull is made up of neutronium, the material found inside white dwarf stars (which, in real life, a matchbox-sized sample weighs ''six million tons'') which allows it to shrug off phaser fire like it was nothing. Its opening is a massive antiproton energy cannon that can critically damage a combat-ready ''Constitution'' with just one shot. Oh, and it uses that same cannon ''to destroy planets so it can refuel itself''. The only way the crew of the ''Enterprise'' was able to defeat it was taking its sister ship, the ''Constellation'', and fly the heavily-damaged, barely moving hulk into its maw and self-destruct it. Even then, it didn't destroy the weapon, just damaged its insides so it could be shut down.
38	* The first appearance of the Borg in ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' certainly makes them look unstoppable, but their second appearance really drives it home. The Enterprise is helpless to stop the Borg Cube from abducting Picard, and attempts to destroy it from the inside and a jury-rigged WaveMotionGun are only minor setbacks. Later, the Borg destroy thirty-nine Federation ships without a scratch, and every planetary defense between Saturn and Earth crumbles without much of a fight. Plus, the ''Enterprise'' nearly burned out its own engines trying to keep up with it.
39	** And [[Series/StarTrekVoyager later]], there was Species 8472, who waltzed through the Borg ''in the heart of the Borg's own empire'' like they weren't even there. They were that tough [[VillainDecay for about two episodes]].
40	* ''Series/{{Supernatural}}'':
41	** Dick Roman. Being a Leviathan, he is immune to all normal weapons as well as to typical monster weaknesses, and can shrug off things like having a car dropped on him or getting decapitated. However, as the head Leviathan, he takes things a step further by also being able to shrug off being hit with the one weakness of ordinary Leviathans, [[spoiler:Borax cleaning products. The only way to kill him is by stabbing him with "the bone of a righteous mortal, cloaked in the three bloods of the fallen." Even then, the subsequent explosion will [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu drag his killer to Purgatory]]]].
42	** [[{{Satan}} Lucifer]] is one of only five life forms in the entire universe that can't be killed by the Colt and tears through [[PhysicalGod literal gods]] like a hot knife through butter.
43	* In ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' and ''Franchise/PowerRangers'', the most humongous of the HumongousMecha often play the Juggernaut role. At least in the beginning when they are introduced, to emphasize their awesomeness. Later, [[SortingAlgorithmOfEvil tougher monsters tend to show up]] to match them.
44	** Often a villain or MonsterOfTheWeek meant to serve as fodder for a MidSeasonUpGrade SuperMode is this, necessitating the upgrade in the first place by [[NoSell walking through every attack used on it]]. A stand example include Killer Ghost from ''Series/BakuryuuSentaiAbaranger'' which not only shrugs attacks from the heroes weapons, they actually break against it.
45	** Character specific example in form of ''Series/SamuraiSentaiShinkenger'' with the BigBad Dokoku. While he plays OrcusOnHisThrone for most of the series when does finally get up both TheStarscream Akumaro (whom was a DragonInChief till he revealed his own agenda) and the Shinkengers are powerless against him, and it's revealed the only reason he has defeated them is because he dries up quickly when not submerged in the Sanzu River. [[spoiler: When he pulls a reluctant DevourTheDragon]] this weakness is removed leaving the only thing with a chance of stopping him a unique sealing kanji, but [[spoiler: the sacrifice of the minion in question made him immune to it]] which for series purposes made him indestructible, when human sized at least, except for [[spoiler: a [[AchillesHeel weakspot]] he absorbed his minion into which was also what made him immune to the seal]].
46	* In the second season premiere of ''Series/TerminatorTheSarahConnorChronicles'', Cameron goes berserk and starts trying to kill John Connor, and proves next-to-impossible to stop, even with TheSlowWalk due to a damaged leg. Eventually, the only way she is defeated is when [[spoiler:John and Sarah crush her between two tractor trailers, and even ''then'' she's just pinned]].
47	* ''Franchise/UltraSeries'' actually plays with this. Most of the {{Kaiju}}, aliens, and villains are only meant to seem totally unstoppable, but with lots of effort, determination, and hope, they can be defeated, which fits the themes of the franchise. There are still plenty of straight examples though (They do get defeated eventually, of course).
48	** From the [[Series/{{Ultraman}} original series]], we have Antlar (who could only be harmed by the Blue Stone of Barraj), Gomora (the first monster defeat Ultraman, and also got his tail blown off yet still able to demolish Osaka Castle), and Zetton (who ''killed'' Ultraman and can create a force field capable of resisting all but the most powerful attacks). Red King was generally [[TheWorfEffect an aversion]] until ''Series/UltraGalaxyMegaMonsterBattle'', where he effortlessly defeated an arm cannon King Joe(see below)
49	** ''Series/UltraSeven'''s [[HumongousMecha King Joe]] was made from an alien metal making it incredibly hard to destroy. Later incarnations also added an arm cannon capable of killing lesser Kaiju in a single blast. The twin-headed Pandon was even worse.
50	** Black King from ''Series/ReturnOfUltraman'' was immensely strong and had skin so thick not even a Specium Ray could pierce his flesh.
51	** ''Series/UltramanTaro'' gives us Birdon and Tyrant. The former killed two Ultramen and had to be defeated by sealing it back inside the volcano it awoke from while the latter defeated ''five'' Ultramen in a row before finally succumbing. There was also the saurian robot Grand King, who took the combined power of 6 Ultramen to kill.
52	** ''Series/UltramanMax'' had IF. The former had CompleteImmortality and an AdaptiveAbility. Final villain Giga Basark was an aversion, despite being a robot standing nearly 400 meters tall! That was because Max was already weakened from earlier when defeated by it, but when he was all freshened up, Giga Basark was killed very quickly.
53	** ''Series/UltramanGaia'' has Zogu, who curbstomped Ultraman Gaia and Ultraman Agul and stood 127 meters tall! And that was only in its first form. The second form stood over 600 meters tall, making her the largest monster in the franchise's 50-year history.
54	** ''Series/UltramanMebius'''s BigBad was the Emperor. To emphasize how unstoppable he is, the mere act of the Emperor ''landing'' [[StuffBlowingUp levels buildings around him]] [[IncendiaryExponent and sets others on fire]]. Likewise, we have U-Killersaurus from TheMovie, an 80 meter monster that took 4 Ultramen to seal away at the cost of draining so much power, they were forced to take human forms for 25 years. When it returned, it had grown 300 meters tall and it took the combined power of 7 Ultramen to kill it after a very lengthy battle. Then, there's the Imperializers, the Emperor's robot soldiers. They have HealingFactor up to [[FromASingleCell single cell regeneration]] and fire off massive blasts of [[MoreDakka firepower]].
55	** ''Franchise/UltramanZero'': The first BigBad, Ultraman Belial defeated virtually every Ultraman in the Land of Light and took on a OneWingedAngel by fusing with the spirits of ''every monster the Ultramen had fought up to that point''. He survived the total destruction of this form and took on another OneWingedAngel in the sequel. Hyper Zetton, a creation of [[OmnicidalManiac Alien Bat]], is like Zetton, except even more powerful.
56	** Greeza from ''Series/UltramanX''. Asides from utterly defeating Ultraman X and his companion Cyber-Gomora in their first battle, it also absorbed dozens of monsters to gain all their powers.
57	* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'': The episode "Warriors", where a supremacist bent on world domination kidnaps a geneticist and uses her research on quick healing to create a prototype enforcer, who is essentially an unstoppable juggernaut who does not so much as flinch at such things as gunfire or having a huge roundhouse kick landed on him. The supremacist uses the enforcer in an attempt to stop Walker and the Rangers; in fact, the strongman is shot dozens of times but it does nothing to even wound him. Eventually, Walker and the geneticist are able to avert the trope.
