Wonder Woman. She seems distinctly stronger and more invulnerable then she once was (and can now truly fly, not just “float”). But she still uses her bracelets to deflect bullets. You know, ordinary bullets? Meaning a mere 9mm slug could hurt her if she didn’t stop it?

Lobo. He gets in lots of fights, gets cut up a lot, and relies on his regeneration power to heal. But he’s also gone hand to hand against Superman. You know, “can bore through miles of solid rock at supersonic speeds” Superman? It’s really hard to tell because Lobo has been mostly consigned to a parody version of the DC Universe, and it’s funnier to see him having to cope with being put through a bacon-slicing machine than to have him be too tough to be hurt by mere steel.
As tough as he needs to be. He’s basically the Wile E. Coyote of the DC universe.
Except he manages to get his roadrunners quite often (and what he does when he gets them…whoooo boy).
But, yeah…he’s as tough as is useful for the story. If he’s fighting Superman he’s one tough mofo, but not quite tough enough. If he’s hanging with L.E.G.I.O.N., the main man is as tough as they come. If it’s his own book…he’s as tough as would make the gag work best at the time.
I take it that while her bare skin may be tougher than a mortal’s, her bracelets are made from a much stronger material. Given the choice of taking a bullet to the chest which even if it can’t penetrate will probably hurt and deflecting it, which would you choose?
But Lobo is the man who beat up Santa Claus.
That’s impossible!
Lobo doesn’t really exist.
Lobo can’t be that tough; he lost to Wolverine. :rolleyes:
See, that’s why democracy sucks.
Didn’t Wolverine beat he Silver Surfer once?
Agreed. Aquaman over Namor? Robin over Jubilee*? Superman over the Hulk? Pffft.
*Why the hell were they even fighting in the first damned place?
It was over who was cuter.
Otherwise the blue Transformer and the red Transformer would destroy the universe. Or something.
Bullets can still hurt her and she can be cut with sharp objects. She described it to Wonder Girl once thusly: she can take huge amounts of punishment (being punched with Superman’s full strength) fine, but if enough force is concentrated into a very small space (a bullet or the edge of a sword), it can penetrate her skin. She said it was like trying to pound the flat end of a nail into a board vs. the sharp end.
Well Superman over the Hulk makes sense to me but Superman over Thor is just wrong…hijack over!
I think Lobo’s powers tend to vary as each situation warrants. He almost beat Superman while he was drunk (Lobo that is) though he did lose to Wolverine in the shortest fight in history. It was almost as if the writers were too ashamed to try and drag it out.
