Bastion
The Bastion is a living bulwark, standing between danger and those they protect.
Through sheer resilience, superior protection, or superhuman toughness, Bastions absorb punishment
that would fell others and hold the line when all else fails.
Whether clad in advanced armor, wielding an indestructible shield, or possessing an unbreakable body,
Bastions define defense through endurance and control.
Example Heroes
- Captain America (Marvel Comics) – A tactical defender who uses positioning, shield mastery, and resolve to protect allies.
- The Thing (Marvel Comics) – A powerhouse of raw durability, shrugging off blows through sheer toughness.
- Luke Cage (Marvel Comics) – Nearly impervious skin allows him to walk through gunfire and stand firm against overwhelming force.
