the point of taking a beating is way of having the character know that they may face imminent death which usually creates some really great character development. I am not planning to use the beating as a way of showing off, I was planning to use it as a way to really show how a super strong character can become vulnerable and possibly die. in my opinion, it is almost essential for a superhero to have a worthy villain who can really challenge them. a comic book that doesn't have a challenging villain is like a table with three legs, it isn't complete.

I wasn't talking about our characters taking a beating. Rather, beating the crap out of our enemies. Which is what I meant when I said we shouldn't use our enemies durability as just a chance to show off our powers. Think about how hectic that would get if we fought, say, Doomsday. We're not trying to destroy the city here. Also, the GM has a plan for where he wants the story to go, and it probably doesn't end with Star City being destroyed on one of our character's earliest missions.
