Invulnerability Question

[Trakx]

If someone reduces your intensity in Invulnerability to 9 or less, is your Invulnerability nullified or does the power change to Resistance?

I believe it can't be reduced any lower than 10. I think they chose 10 mostly for the cost and not really for the intensity level because it is moot. Invulnerability gives you total immunity over something.

I'd probably say the nullifier must nullify all ten points, or no effect.

Another way of handling it is, if one point of invulnerability is nullified, then the character has 90% resistance to that damage form. But this seems an unelegant solution to me.

FWIW in his second battle with Juggernaut Thor attempted to use Mjolnir to block Cyttorak's power from Cain. This resulted in a much weaker Juggernaut akin to the one present from just prior to the Onslaught event through his regaining full power during the World War Hulk event. Thor was wailing on him non-stop for nearly 60 seconds (he stopped to admire that Cain was still on his feet) and Cain was almost unconscious...then the hammer returned to Thor's hand and Cain was immediately back at full power.

This is of course if you take it that Juggernaut is normally invulnerable to direct physical damage.

Thor's Hammer is a mystical weapon not a normal one i do believe.

True. I was just remarking that Thor's hammer turned Juggernaut's normal physical Invul (IIRC in the original TSR game wasn't his body armor Shift-Z with a Cl-3000 FF?) into good old fashion toughness. But not being the fighter Thor was he was getting pummeled pretty badly.
