Bulletproof Skin vs Pressure Points

But it bloodied his mouth nonetheless.

BTW, I just saw that pic from a scan around this forum a long time ago, so I don't know what issue that panel came out.

"bulletproof" doesnt mean "rigid"

u can have bulletproof yet flexible skin (its like carbonadium : hard as adamantium but flexible)

and if the skins flexible then pressure points can still work

Still shouldn't work.

Probably shouldn't work but this is comics.

Hulk, Thor, & Sub-Mariner have all been shown to be bullet-proof at various times (not sure what the verdict on Thor is these days) and they have all been knocked out cold by pressure point attacks.

Hell Wonder Man is not only bullet-proof and an ionic being who doesn't need to eat, sleep, or breath and shouldn't even have pressure points, and he was still paralysed by a pressure point attack. Go figure.

Alright can a streetlevel character sucessfully use pressure points on somebody with bulletproof skin? How can somebody who skin is supposedly able to withstand a bullet hurling at 500mph at and not have their skin punctured be drop by somebody use pressure points on skin that tough?

Between the pressure point attacker and the pressure point receiver: what is the greatest difference in power generally recognized such that the attacker could still affect the receiver?

Eg, could Batman use pressure points on Superman? He used them on a "distracted" Solomon Grundy. Could Spider-Man (properly trained) affect Thanos with pressure points? I believe Captain America has used them on the Hulk.

What is considered an acceptable range before it becomes pure PIS?

Yes pressure points can work. Just like theres fictional bullet proof skin theres fictional pressure pointing.

In the books skill goes just as far as power.

If we're talking about Kenshiro, he once fought a guy who had a technique that made his skin harder than steel, but Kenshiro deactivated it with a pressure point

Pressure points bs bukketproof skin??
