Next, his general durability to being physically harmed:

And while some of these feats required Man-Thing to be in a swamp, after being chemically changed in a sewage treatment plant, Man-Thing is a self-contained ecosystem, able of regenerating himself without the swamp. Theoretically, all these past feats of oozing and regeneration should be possible without the need of any extremal water or plant sources:

Ooze

To begin, I want to show an editor's note here. Spider-Man had just done a two-foot kick into Man-Thing, and the editor (and rightly so, might I add) clearly points out that Spidey should have gone right into Man-Thing, rather than hitting him [Giant Sized Spider-Man 5]:

http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/...iderman0535.jpg

Man-Thing's body is such that blades, axes and swords just pass right through it:

[Adventure into Fear 19]:

[Man-Thing v1 3]:

http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/8/manthing00303.jpg

Notice here that the net simply oozes out of Man-Thing also [Incredible Hulk 198]:

http://img848.imageshack.us/img848/...nchulk19813.jpg

Bullets also pass harmlessly through him:

Even close range shotgun has no real effect [Nomad 21]:

http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/...g19lochryan.jpg

Here a cannon ball, fired from very close range, harmlessly is absorbed by Man-Thing's ooze [Man-Thing v2 8]:

http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/...hingv200817.jpg

As mentioned before, he oozes through nets:

[Man-Thing v1 7]:

Or Spider-Man's adhesive webbing [Marvel Team-Up v2 4]:

http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/15...v204spiderm.jpg

Here, even after days of exposure to sub-zero temperatures on a mountain, he is able to ooze through a cage [Man-Thing v2 3]:

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/...hingv200315.jpg
http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/...hingv200316.jpg

The ooze makes him very difficult to harm during a fight, such as we see here against:
