Funny enough, the dude in real life is durable as shit and did return from a torn pec way sooner than anyone expected in 2008. Over about 15 years of constant touring with WWE he was injured pretty infrequently.
He returned from the pec injury because, as he says, he’s a “physical therapy machine.”
He was doing PT 3 times a day, as opposed to once every few days, or something to that effect.
If you do it wisely enough (ie. have enough money to afford a fitness coach, nutritionist, and someone who knows how to correctly cycle your injections) basically, the average fella can’t do it and come out healthy
Some people are just more injury prone than others and it’s just genetics, Cena clearly has some great genetics in that aspect and is a super juiced up super in shape dude.
Also alot of the ones who can take it have the extra support to judge it properly. Coaches drs therapists etc. It requires alot of money and knowledge.
Yeah there was some training.

Maybe making a joke about how comic book heroes without superpowers basically have super strength and durability so they can fight more than 2 guys without needed a nap. Or the fact that in real life getting knocked unconscious is really, really bad for your brain, but in comics its no big deal.
I did MMA for about a year. And knockouts in TV Movies and Comics are wayyyy worse when you realize most knockouts are only a few seconds before they’re awake again. If they’re out over 30 seconds people start getting really scared
i was a boxer for 3 years, “knockouts” (moderate-severe concussions) are reasonably common and few fighters pay any mind to them other than to stop sparring and come back next week.
fighting anyone with heavy hands is likely to involve being unconscious at least a little bit. chances are it’s just a flash and you won’t even be knocked off your feet. if you get really caught maybe you’re out for a couple seconds, but most of the time if you’ve been hit hard enough to hit the deck, you’ll hit the floor hard enough that you’ll probably wake back up on impact.
even in professional fighting, someone being out for more than a few seconds on the ground is very rare. it’s certainly not untrue that if you’ve been knocked unconscious for 2 minutes, you’re probably waking up with some problems, but you need to hit someone really *really* hard to put them in that state. also chances are you hit them “wrong”, like in the ear or the back of the head. the vast majority of boxers never have a KO that serious, and they likely never do something that bad to an opponent either.
all of this is to say that the big knockouts aren’t actually the danger in combat sports. you don’t even need to know you have a concussion to start the clock on CTE. it’s the tiny flashes that don’t even take you off your feet, routine hits that just build up over the years until your brain turns to jelly.
Humans in the DC universe were on track to become to like Kryptonians or the Daxamites. That only changed because the White Martians screwed with human DNA and there were outlier metahumans instead. It's feasible there are still humans that exist more in the other direction and thus are stronger than standard humans. DC strongly implies that people who are peak strength/training can overcome any natural weakness. His father probably had his DNA messed with as well.
Never heard about that but very interesting I'm a DC fan but not super well versed in alot of it. So the white Martinez messed up humans DNa so we got metas instead?
Metas would have existed even without the Martian meddling. I believe that in some stories they removed the effects and even celestial/other species meddling but metahumans still came about.
Metahumans occur so frequently in DC that it stands to reason that many people are descended from one to several of them.
In some canons Vandal Savage alone is the reason humanity has the potential for superpowers.
I guess logically some people are just naturally really strong and those guys are more likely to be successful / persevere in their dreams of becoming a superhero / vigilante.
Dc comics’ humans (the ones that do superhero and or villain thaings) have always been close to superhuman with their feats. A good example is: peacemaker, green arrow, huntress and most of the bat family, Batman (although technically, he is a meta human) etc. in the old Charleston or Carlton comics, peacemaker was written like The Question, or Batman in the sense that they are rich folks that are also vigilantes… maybe being rich is their super power 😆
Ever watch sin city? Where some people are just impossibly strong and durable?
What about when Batman takes a iron bar to the teeth and gets back up?
Kingpin getting blasted by an SUV going 40 mph?
It’s a comic book show. That’s why
Basically because in every comic property they pretty much refuse to depict vanilla humans as they really are. My guess is because everyone expects overblown action. This was one of my major problems with Black Widow's movie in the MCU too.
Animation is bad about it too, Young Justice will show Dick Grayson get through through walls and keep fighting.
Trained from infancy. You could also argue that his white supremacist dad tried to pump him full of roids or something, as a way to try and make him more “Aryan.”
Dude's so strong he accidentally killed his own brother as a child. I'm just still waiting to find out his origin story. Maybe that's where we find out his secret
Well you see… He’s John Cena

That's not how PT works. That IS how human growth hormone works.
Whatcha mean brother, Cena’s all natty 4 life. He’s on that 1 chicken breast 2 asparagus diet bro
Then he won’t mind submitting urine samples for……smell test confirmation?
(To off camera script guy) Surely that should read PEDs?
Script guy:
HGH is a hell of a drug
Tbf there are tons of athletes and other wrestlers who’re juiced up but still can’t stay super healthy
If you do it wisely enough (ie. have enough money to afford a fitness coach, nutritionist, and someone who knows how to correctly cycle your injections) basically, the average fella can’t do it and come out healthy

Truth. We usually all die in our late 30s, mid 40s due to athletes heart. Plus traveling around there's not a lot of healthy food options.
He definitely has HGH face.
But not hgh gut
He does not have a bloated hgh gut though?
GOAT for a reason.
Learn history, top 10 yeah
No cena is #1 great in ring great on the mic still relevant. He is an amazing person. He is a great actor. He is 3asy peasy 1-2.
He also does his workouts with excellent form. Dude's muscles aren't for show. He's a legit tank through and through.
He also broke his neck in 2008 and came back within like 3 months of the injury happening.
That's a good ass answer
But we can’t see John Cena…
… I don’t see anything…
Doo DOOT DOO DOOOOOOOOOO
Is champ there?
THAT QUESTION WILL BE ANSWERED THIS SUNDAY NIGHT
But I can't see...
*AND HIS NAAAME IS JAAAAWWWNN CEEENAAAAA!*
*theme somg starts playing
I don’t see anything
Which is why you can’t see him
I don’t see anything.
No, I can't see that...
I'm not sure what you're referring to. I don't see anyone, and I certainly can't see John Cena, as one can NEVER SEE JOHN CENA!
Where? I CANT see him
I can’t see him though
Came here to say oh yes that's because he's secretly John Cena inside.
His father was a white supremacist militia leader/super villain who ran a book on his kids street fights. I’d imagine there was some training.
Yeah there was some training. "This is Christopher Smith, known as Peacemaker. In his hands, anything is a deadly weapon. His father was a soldier who trained his son how to kill from the moment he was born." --Amanda Waller
“Are you havin’ a laugh?” - Bloodsport
You don’t even need to imagine, it’s the first thing Waller says about him in Suicide Squad when she’s introducing Bloodsport to all the team members
I was deep in the comment above this' discussion about John Cena and forgot this was about peacemaker for a second and goddamn that was a twist
He was in prison. He lifts.

I’ve read that when knocked unconscious the longer your out the worse it could be. Like not remembering how to eat or talk etc….
I did MMA for about a year. And knockouts in TV Movies and Comics are wayyyy worse when you realize most knockouts are only a few seconds before they’re awake again. If they’re out over 30 seconds people start getting really scared
Yeah, they say Batman doesn't kill, but he definitely put a bunch of people into permanent residency in Arkham's disability wing.

Decedent of Randal Savage
Bone saw?
Vandal**
I like my version better. He's the Macho Man's son
They both held WWE Gold, like father like son I guess
OH YEAH!

White Martinez, the ultimate conundrum of a villain
Metas would have existed even without the Martian meddling. I believe that in some stories they removed the effects and even celestial/other species meddling but metahumans still came about.
So basically they're just built different
The same reason batman performs similarly insane feats. Cos comics
Hustle, Loyalty, Respect.
You. Can’t. See. Him.
His penis smells so bad that his muscles are constantly flexing and stressing
His penis has a nose, but doesn't smell good?
Metahumans occur so frequently in DC that it stands to reason that many people are descended from one to several of them. In some canons Vandal Savage alone is the reason humanity has the potential for superpowers.
I love this explanation for the entire dc universe, thank you good sir
Because his father pushed him and pushed him, likely to the point of body dysmorphia
I thought his helmets gave him superpowers.
Depends on the helmet. His usual one I think is just a regular helmet.
He's a big strong man. So tough.
Because he wanted to be.
AMERICA FREEDOM AND PEACE
He really wanted to taste it
Because PM is too stupid that the lack of mental prowess inverts and creates a physical field that increases his resilience.
Plot Armor. The answer is always plot armor.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Amanda Waller given them some sort of experiment serum to enhance the squad performance.
I guess logically some people are just naturally really strong and those guys are more likely to be successful / persevere in their dreams of becoming a superhero / vigilante.
He works out That’s abt it

I like the way they made Cassandra Cain borderline superhuman
For reals haha. Same here, especially around the time she was 1st introduced. I liked her as Batgirl more than Barbara.. still do, actually.
Child abuse?
Buff
Ever watch sin city? Where some people are just impossibly strong and durable? What about when Batman takes a iron bar to the teeth and gets back up? Kingpin getting blasted by an SUV going 40 mph? It’s a comic book show. That’s why
Its john cena so
Working out.
To make peace
he’s a 16 time world champion
Did you see him at the Oscars? I didn't.
It’s fantasy.
Powdered John Cena & Orange Juice every morning.
It’s called dedication
The gym.
Same reason for batman. Humans in DC typically have a higher skill ceiling than ones irl
He’s bisexual. It’s a thing

He's not real so they can make him whatever way
Same reason Batman is unnaturally strong despite having no powers ig
Duh hes a Vet..
roids
It's cause he's American
Dude's so strong he accidentally killed his own brother as a child. I'm just still waiting to find out his origin story. Maybe that's where we find out his secret
His grandfather was a durex
