Iron Hand vs. invulnerability

[Prodigy]

If a character has the Body Hardening power of Iron Hand in the HUverse, can he injure/affect a character with Major Super Ability: Invulnerability?

[jaymz]

I don't think they can but Dim Mak can.

No.

I do not think Iron Hand can, but some of the chi based attack powers would work.

[rbm10101]

would the minor disintegration work? I would say yes
What about bio ghost and other abilities which damage straight to HP?
I know that Particle beams do half there dmg to invulnerable
Venomous has two versions a minor and major. Some of those abilities do dmg straight to HP and it even mentions in invulnerability that gases drugs toxins etc will hurt the invulnerable charqacter but at half potency ( dmg duration effect )

[AlanGunhouse]

If you are looking for a list of what effects an Invulnerable character...generally look at the power itself. It Specifies Psionics, Magic, Chemical attacks that can be absorbed, Supernatural Strength, Radiation (to some extent), and Asphyxiation. It also specifies in the Physical Training character that their chi-based power attacks can hurt an invulnerable character, which logically implies any chi based bower might work.

Disintigration probably would not work. Bio Ghost dies not work, because it does not effect anything with too high an AR and thus logically can not penetrate.

If a character has the Body Hardening power of Iron Hand in the HU setting, can he injure/affect a character with Major Super Ability: Invulnerability?

No.
The N&S setting's BH of IH has no effect on an Invulnerable char.
BH powers are not chi based powers. They are "Idiots who do something over and over again to build up the body's strength / tolerance to abuse to that one action."

[AlanGunhouse]

There is one exception to the BH powers not being Chi Based...I think it is called Chi Gung. That is a strictly defensive power though.
