Character shields

I say Homer. Kirk got into some scrapes, but he fell and had a couple rocks land on his chest and he died. Homer plunged over the side of Springfield Gorge twice and lived. The Potter brat has only been trying his luck for four or five years (only one going by the movies). Homer has been risking his life stupidly for more than a decade, longer if you count flashback sequences. Jar-Jar's doesn't count because he turned out to be a Plot Device, and anyway there's a good chance he might die in Ep. 3.

Do commercials count as examples of character shield strength?

Considering how fucked up Simpsons continunity is (HOW many times have Bart and Lisa started summer vacation/started the school year and yet still are in the same grade?), yeah, why not use commercials for other characters.

I would like to vote for almost every character from Marvel Comics.

There is only one with the greatest of Luck and Charater SHIELDS!


CONAN!

Think about it Acient Evil, Undead Spirts Evil Sorccers and beatful women, Every fucking time Conan gets board somthing happens and he somehow stumbles through

Need change of Senriory? BLAM welcome to Hell Conan! And your the new Lord of Darkness with accombing Succbi because you some-how killed Lucifer, don't ask, sure you could stay BUT THATS NOT OUR CONAN! oh no! he's of to the Oriente to show some Evil Soul Stealing Kung-Fu masters so Conan broadsword umm fOO!(Remeber fokes Conan an't that bright)


Over and over agian the man just by movies has been killed twice and kicked his way through the Underworld just to come back to life one of those, Defeated(Comics) over 200 Acient Evils, Smacked down Supreme evil three times and been with one woman for every hour of his life it seems like the idiot Gets Sexs kills stuff then more Sex and more killing stuff over and over and over!

And he has no RIGHT to be kill any of the shit he does, He annilates 300 Year old Sorccerers with a Few Stabs(Like that would fucking Work! Fireball? he somehow manges to save aginst it EVERY TIME)

It was once said that if Conan and Cluthuth where to fight each other, Cluthuth would be the Victory but only after Conan expired from Old age and NOT from the Battle and EVEN THEN he might come back to life to pick up where there Reaper made them leave off!

If there was any justice or logic, Homer Simpson would be dead thirty times over. The fact that he's still alive showcases his invulnerable Character Shield.

Must be Homer. He gets consistently put in situations where he should, by all rights, die. The others simply have some fortituous event occur so that they are able to survive.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Homer Simpson. He's needlessly risked life and limb for 36 years and is none the worse for the wear. He's survived all sorts of stupid and dangerous stunts. The man is invulnerable!

Starblazers, they survived more concentrated shit that should have been lethal than anyone else I can think of off the top of my head.
On second thought, I'll have to wait to see if Nom Anor survives to the end of NJO. How many times has his failure supposed to have brought on his execution?

I would say homer, but int he end he's merely a cartoon carater in the tradition of Wiley E. Cyote, daffy Duck, and the lot... with the inherent invunrability that comes with.



Personally I say Tylor from Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Yes he's a cartoon, but he's a cartoon that theoretically represents a normal human with all the inherent vunrabilities.

From the poll, Homer. From all characters, possibly Rick Hunter. The guy had at least three aircraft destroyed from under him, and WALKED AWAY from all but one of those, and the last was when he took a few dozen indirect missile hits. The guy's bloody invulnerable (and incompetent with women, but he's in good company there :( ).

What about Doomsday from Wing Commander? I think he had twice as many aircraft destroyed.
