2 characters with broken powers that crap on logic.... should be an infinate stalemate..... But I see Lobo loosing interest first.

^^ This from the co-creator of He-Man's respect thread. Come at me.
Lol, agreed on the first two parts. But it's HM's durability that's his achilles. While formidable and in line with his "normal" power level, in feats it doesn't scale to the absurd levels that his strength does. He can put down guys that would otherwise be beyond his power scale because of his strength, but he can also be taken out. Respect threads don't always tell the full tale. KO's in his fights happen often enough to be considered valid as a debating point.

I agree with this to a degree.....
My reasoning is that sure He-Man is able to increase his strength to lift a Mountain but if his durability is not increased at all then how can his body withstand the strain of lifting the mountain?
It need not follow conventional physics. I agree on principle, but there's no saying this is really the case. And even so, that would only mean he could withstand great static strain, it says nothing of his durability against kinetic force or slicing.

An interesting conundrum, and I've thought about it before. My thought is that his strength scales based on need, and his durability with it, but if someone's attacking him his durability doesn't automatically scale to the need like strength would.
Of course it's never really explained, and this explanation is as arbitrary as any other, but imo it remains the most logical explanation given the fact that he's never left needing more strength, but can be and has been KO'd on more than one occasion.

I had never thought of it in that light before thank you! It gives me things to think of lol
well this was very well thought out on your part! The way I always looked at it was that like He-Mans strength his durability would rise once he needed it to after being attacked. For instance if He-Man attacks a giant serpent and it exceeds his strength then his strength level rises to the occasion after he knows what he's dealing with. Well I often thought that his durability was the same. So if hit hard enough he could still be rendered unconscious but once he awoke his durability would raise since he knew how high it needed to be raised.
It doesn't have to say anything about those other two.
If he-man's durability has to grow proportionately with his strength, then he would naturally be more resistant in all facets. Durability is a general thing. This is of course, speaking in realistic terms, which may not apply.
He Mans basically as strong and tough as the plot demands. Struggles as much with a giant rock as he does with Castle Grayskull or moving the moon, depending on what the story calls for. Looking at the She Ra series alone, he's been KOed by a mook soldier before, but he's also taken Hordaks beam to the chest, Superman style, without really being hurt by it.
