Awesomely enough, Batman may take the shot if he's shot in the back of the head. (as opposed to the face, which is left open... you didn't specify)

Not likely, but possible. Keep in mind, it doesn't have to completyely stop the pellets, just slow them down enough. Batman can take a blow to (or through) the head with the best of them.

(sorry, too badass not to post)

I agree with pretty much everything else... Wonderwoman would take it. It might hurt, but it won't do even close to enough damage to kill her.

Damn, and to think all Superman would have needed in this fight is a shotgun to kill Wonder Woman...

As to the list of characters, I think it is possible that all of them could under the right circumstances survive/dodge the blast.

I think they do as (iirc) Asgardian flesh is only suppose to be about 3x denser than a normal human. But as Thor can swing his hammer at twice the speed of light (Journey Into Mystery#102) and that can see objects moving at great speed (artillery shells in Invaders#33 and Hermes in Avengers-#281), I don't see why he couldn't simply knock the bullets out of the air with his fists/arms before they hit his head.

***these descriptions for his feats are taken from this list and thus the possibility exists that they may not be 100% accurate.

Ok more details.

No damn dodging , blocking or anything else, this is PURE durability at work.

The shotgun is aimed directly at the opponents face and is about an inch away from the face.

wolverine taking a shotgun blast to the face

Mindship Snap out of it.

I've seen these scans before...and this is exactly what I mean. Wonder Woman should be bullet-proof, (that is, IF you want her to be able to hold her own against Superman). But how do you take away her signature move? The "blunt-impact" and "demoralize opponents" theories, IMHO, are not sufficient explanations to account for this inconsistency (probably the 1980s "Crisis" series would've been a good time to correct this, but, alas...).

Hey, comics. pizza What can ya do...

Wonder Woman can take a punch from Superman, but she can't take a bullet to the head. Here's why:

WW once explained her durability to someone before. She compared it to a block of wood, saying that if you try to hammer a nail into the block, it would go in easily; but if you try to hammer in a wider object (say, another block of wood), it would not go in at all.

In other words, she can take godlike punishment form bludgeoning objects, such as fists and high impacts against the ground; but narrow and pointy objects pierce her just easily as they do to ordinary humans. So as stupid as it sounds, Wonder Woman would in fact die if someone shot her in the head with a shotgun and she'd be better off taking a punch from Doomsday.

Accel Senior Member

Forget what I said- I just found these scans. Turns out she CAN take a bullet to the head; it just really, really hurts her (ironically it STILL does more damage than a punch from Superman).

marvelprince Illuminati Founder

Nice with the scans Accel. I was just gonna say how WW's explanation was flawed. A bullet may be smaller but the force from a punch from someone like Doomsday and Superman would more than make up for the bullets size with power. Just look at it in the formula for pressure. Pressure is force/area, so the larger the area is the less will be the pressure thus damage to WW. Example, 5000 N punch from a fist of lets say .25m squared in comparison to a bullet fired with a force of 5000N but its area is .0000025m squared. The bullet will exert a greater pressure on its target. But looking at it from someone with superhuman strength the force is gonna skyrocket to many times that of a bullet, making the area of the bullet irrelevant. Point is, doesnt matter how small the bullet is, if she can take blows from Superman they shouldn't have any effect on her.

Back on topic though,
Batman - No
Spider Man - No
Namor - Yes
Multiple Man - If its the original, no
Aquaman - Has taken rockets before so yes
Blade - No
Wonder Woman - Yes, even though she seems like she can't
Wolverine - He'd heal from it, so yes
Hulk - Yes
Wendigo - Yes
Thor - Yes

GF said its fully loaded, so a striker automatic shotgun with a 32 shell drum, no dodgeing or blocking
Thats 32 shotgun shells to the face, with all pellets going in, unless we are talking slugs of course........

Batman - Dead (Maybe if shot in the back of the head, his cowl's protection varies.)

Spider Man - Dead

Namor - Survives

Multiple Man - Dead

Aquaman - Survives but probably hurt

Blade - Dead

Wonder Woman - Dead? (she only has high resistance to blunt force trauma, so unless tiny shotgun pellets are considered blunt force trauma she's dead.)

Wolverine - Skin ripped away, but survives and heals

Hulk - Gets angry from the sting and HULK SMASH who ever shot him

Wendigo - Survives

Thor - Survives

Darth Martin Senior Member

Blade would heal too.

Of course Wolverine survives it. Actually, the bullets shouldn't even be able to pierce his skull.
Although WW's bones are denser, she'll definately feel it. She'd probably survive it though. She's been pierced before ya know?

The force will blow his face clear off.

Not from that much damage, it would basically take his head off or enough of it to kill him. Blades healing factor is slow and he needs to be alive to heal.

It will rip and shred his skin off, but his skull will remain undamaged due to the adamantium, he would regrow his face and be fine in time. This same thing happened to him when he went against Punisher.

Darth Martin Senior Member

I thought WW was somewhat invulnerable in a way, just like Superman
