-Superman-like characters who are so tough they can get hit with lava, acid, tank round, etc and not even FEEL it.-
Oh, they feel it, it just doesn't hurt.
Consider how you can put a 5 gram weight on your finger and you feel it just fine. Or you can put a 10 pound weight on your hand and you feel it a lot more, but it still doesn't hurt.
Touching =/= hurting. You can be very touch sensitive while still being injury immune.
The characters for whom it's otherwise (Max Damage) are a minority with a specific weakness, but the normal way makes sense.
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
