Well if all the GBs are hostile then fighting is pretty much saying you are trying to win the noblest death reward, or at least are trying to make yourself look good before you get atomized.

However, considering the only time I'd honestly face off against an army of GBs would be if they are staring down the barrel of my space ships Ion cannon, I'm not too concerned. (1d4x1000 damage can be a bit much...)
Norbu the Enchanter: Hello friends! What brings you to my shop today?

Big Joe: We need some things enchanted to take a beating...

Norbu: Perhaps you want your weapons enchanted? Or maybe a shield or sword? I can even enchant armor!

Big Joe: We need you to enchant this Liver, this heart, and these kidneys.

Norbu: :shock:

Where is the option for hide and summon and control a few tektonic entities... :) Hmm, I wonder what they do to the inside of a machine when they possess it.

I'm going to assume I'm a normal soldier, in at best a SAMAS PA.
Poop, then RUN away out of range ASAP.

ITS A HORDE !!! A Horde is Hundreds or Thousands.

Glitterboy > Invulnerability

Invulnerability+VibroKnife > Glitterboy


Sadly, this is not so.

The Glitterboy's Mass + Weight + Strength is still > Invulnerability.

Invulnerability bestows neither super human strength, speed, or any sort of power to live without air. In fact, the need to breathe is one of the Invulnerable character's greatest weaknesses.

As a result, what you have illustrated is actually the worst thing the Invulnerable character could do: engage in Hand-to-Hand combat with the Glitterboy. All the Glitterboy has to do is grab the Invulnerable opponent, stick their head into the ground like an ostrich, and suffocate them. The Invulnerable character is not strong enough to break the Glitterboy's grip, nor to lift its weight. (On a side note, I suppose it's arguable as to whether or not the Glitterboy could simply crush the Invulnerable character's windpipe, but I won't open that can of worms. Or...will I? :wink:) I know that it's a rarity for people to discuss a Glitterboy's melee combat prowess, but in this case, the Invulnerable character is at a serious disadvantage.

The best thing the Invulnerable character could do is to attempt to stay at range with the Glitterboy, while whittling away at its armor with some sort of ranged attack. Of course, this tactic has its own problems, such as: A. Ammo limitation, B. The Glitterboy targets the weapon being used against him, makes a called shot and destroys it, and of course the now classic option C. The Glitterboy chases down the offending Invulnerable character at 60 MPH, grabs him or her, and sticks their head into the ground like an ostrich. :D

As of HU2 ed, Invulnerability Now grants the PC/NPC superhuman lifting and carrying cap.
That makes them stronger than a Glitter Boy.
