It's not the measure of the personal invincibility that makes a character interesting or not; a character can be a loser and still be totally boring. It's a matter of the conflicts and characterization. Invincibility makes it harder to introduce growth and more human characteristics as much of that is based on the presence of or overcoming weaknesses. But its not insurmountable- the effort should be on giving voice to that human quality within him. Physical weaknesses are one outlet, but I'd not focus on that as the only outlet. | |
