excluding characters with healing factors, who has the greatest ability to soak massive damage and just keep ticking?
DeadpoolXXX
COMIC characters please.
so "sue dibny's vagina" would have been a more appropriate response.

Frank f*cking Castle.
Doesn't matter what you do to the guy, he will keep coming after you.
Wolverine w/o his healing factor is pretty crazy in the damage soak department, too. But Frank lives like this 24/7.

or
batman...

Joker has a "fine relationship" with pain, but he's a wimp with a glass jaw, so I wouldn't include him.
Then you have dionesium, which makes his better showings not legit to use in your thread.
Wonder Man
Multiple Man. Or Legion’s power is to absorb damaged consciousness.
But sheer toughness has to be between Morlocks.
StiltmanFTW
MAX Punisher definitely deserves a mention, too:

I'd go with Frank, just because he has shitty durability.
Batman's is way better sneer
But the Max series is incredibly brutal.

Yeah, Frank (most of the time) uses much less advanced armor (usually just kevlar), especially in the MAX universe.
And unlike Bats, he doesn't dodge too often.
Galan just hopes he will get us hooked on this ninja-guy, but he forgot to send us dick pics in order to bribe us.

Yeah, I see that now.
Other than the mastery of ninjutsu and martial arts, Ninjak has no superhuman powers, right? What about chi manipulation and stuff?
Is his costume protecting him in any way?
StiltmanFTW
Cap qualifies more as a low meta, but I thought I'd post this here, anyway.
Rogers (after getting brutally beat by Extremis Stark) gets "saved" by retarded Hercules and is in the ground zero of explosion:

Old Man Ninjak(100+ years in the future) gained some impressive chi control, though, which essentially gave him a HF of sorts. For example, he once got cancer, but was able to use his chi to "strangle" the cancer cells out of his body.

So, he's basically Iron Fist-lite, then?
Galan007
Old Man Ninjak is similar in that respect.
But current Ninjak(the one in mine and MrMind's scans) can't manipulate his chi on that kind of level. He can just push through a ton of damage.
Wonder Man
Warlocke of the New Mutants. Under the right conditions he could eliminate damage.
Khazra Reborn
Invincible/high end Viltrumites can take impressive amounts of damage, without technically having a HF.
DeadpoolXXX
i thought the upper end viltrumites did have a HF??
ninjak seems like a good choice, but is any of the stuff posted anything that batman or frank havent also worked through?

Kidney pain is among the most extreme "sensations" a human being can experience, perhaps only surpassed by the pancreatic cancer.

Put it this way - posting the scans would get me scolded from Galan and Pr for posting full issues, lol.
Batman (2011) #2-6, then 8, then 9, then 11...the entire thing takes place over a couple of weeks, of which one is him going for a week solid without sleep and being drugged...
Galan007
Yeah, it really is an insane series of showings for Bruce.
DarkSaint85
It's like Snyder forgot what happened in the previous issue( or even page), and Batman just magically got recharged lol.
Galan007
It's like getting impaled through the abdomen amped him.
MrMind
Back when Snyder was still good
HulkIsHulk
I agree with everyone.stated
There is Pittsy aka Carmine Gazerra from Punisher Max.
IIRC, Frank always required a weapon, blunt or better sharp to hurt him. He would just stand there and no sell barehanded punched
When he wss finally killed, he got stabbed multiple times, had his eye gouged out, his fingers broken (he just set them back), thrown out of 2nd storey window, impaling him on a spike fence, then had Frank.jump onto.him,.pushing the spikes further into him, then.had his head blown.off by a shotgun, and still attacked Frank for few seconds before expiring. Even Frank was flabbergasted
Oh there is judge dredd too.
Wonder Man
Snowbird can alter so as to be o.k. I think.

PS. It was after this that Bruce got his body restored? Or I'm confusing it with something else?

So rereading it...
Batman gets knives in his brachial artery in both arms, and a 3rd in his arm
Gets kicked out of an 'unbreakable window' 30 stories up
Continues to get clawed out by the Talon
Grabs a gargoyle and saves himself - the gargoyle is in the middle of the building, so he fell 15 stories
All this is without his Batsuit, btw.
2 days later, after fighting five Gotham gangs, he gets caught in an explosion point blank on the top floor of a building, Falls to the ground, then at the Batcave Alfred drugs him to get him to rest. It doesn't work., he goes out and gets ambushed, being smashed through a wall (his belt is taken off him).
Then he is trapped in a maze for 8 days without food or sleep, and the only water he gets is drugged.
Then he gets stabbed through the stomach, like, impaled.
Then smashed in the face with an old timey camera-tripod
Then beaten up by a Talon (kicked through concrete walls etc)
Then he beats the shit out of the Talon, makes a bomb with the stuff he stole from that old timey camera (of which he is at point blank range), drops into an underground river and gets carried down waterfalls and stuff until Harper rescues him with jump leads attached to the Bat nips.
Edit: phuck off Phildo.

Oh wait, you're arguing Batman's damage soak, and not Talon's.
Yeah, ok. That is an indisputably good showing.
Hard to pick which is better between that and the prison scene in Tom Kings run where he straightens out a shattered spine (Somehow), then goes on to a full plate of fighting.

Maybe. He has so many of these outliers, though.
So as Stilt and I were discussing, there's his fight with Sensei:
https://i.postimg.cc/ZBRc5rXM/RCO015-1468835966.jpg
https://i.postimg.cc/jwFhwDbd/RCO016-1468835966.jpg

https://i.postimg.cc/1RHjqW4K/RCO020-1468835966.jpg
So his right arm is broken, his left hand is crushed, he's half blinded, smashed in the face a couple of times, then impaled. Then wins
Or this time when he wasn't Batman yet, and fought in a 28 hour deathmatch:
https://i.postimg.cc/PCWK3fm2/batman23-pitfighter1.jpg
And every hour they added another fresh fighter. So by hour 28, he was fighting 28 trained killers all out to kill him. having fought 27 the hour before etc.
Or when he casually trains by exposing his body to the vaccuum of space, lol:
https://i.postimg.cc/YSYXqRJY/jlaworkingweek-spacetraining.jpg

Gotta go with Thanos. He was a freaking skeleton after retrieving the Regulator. The kind of damage the he can take and remain upright is absolutely ridiculous. He does have sort of a healing factor, but he only used it after returning to his ship.
