Resistance

Summary
Resistance is the ability to have high durability or ability to fight against specific powers and abilities, in addition to levels normally proportional to their durability or conditions. For example, even someone with human lifting and defense power could withstand a gravitational pressure 1000x higher than the earth if it had sufficiently powerful Gravitational Resistance.

Note that Resistance differs from resisting things through pure durability. For example, Vegeta is able to resist gravity tens, if not hundreds of times that of the earth not because it has Gravitational Resistance, but because it has durability and lifting strength high enough to do so. To have resistance, it is necessary to be able to resist something that beings of equal level to his would still be severely affected.

There are countless types of Resistance, such as Spiritual Resistance, and Physical Endurance.

Applications

 * Neutralization: With sufficiently high resistances, it is possible for the user to ignore attacks from the enemy, nullifying its effect on them.
 * Invulnerability: With sufficiently high physical resistances, the user is able to completely ignore attacks that do not have very high power.

Notable Users

 * Thor Odinson (Marvel Comics) - Thor has resisted countless mental attacks of the highest level, being able to ignore even spiritual and molecular attacks.
 * Excalibur (Warframe) - Excalibur, like all Tenno, can resist attacks capable of cutting molecules, taking conventional damage instead.
 * Tarrasque (Dungeons & Dragons) - Tarrasque has countless resistances that make it virtually unbeatable in combat, from magical to mental resistance.
