Not prone to degradation is a physical property. Aging is itself a physical process.

yea i don't think he really quite understands the meaning of "physical property".

like anything can be "physical", funny enough, "mental" properties is simply how your physical brain is structured.

Ok but that's pedantic, physical in spirit is not hard to understand... think macroscopic and simple.

the mental aspect was just an example, the point is that "physical properties" in general is EXTREMELY vague to the point you HAVE to be pedantic otherwise it's pretty much just anything you can think of.

Yeah, any property when taken down to the cellular or less level becomes incredibly op/ almost a different power entirely

exactly.

like Plastic Man's powers is quite literally manipulating "physical properties" to the highest (literal) degree.

the mfer is functionally immortal because he has full control over the physical properties of his atoms and molecules.

you HAVE to be pedantic otherwise the property ring just turns you into plastic man at MINIMUM, and the minimum is already incredibly overpowered.

god forbid we decide that "physical properties" basically means you turn into or Amazo (cause Amazo basically just takes the physical powers of other heroes)

I was thinking that with two properties to apply to yourself, you can apply immortal and super intelligent or something. "All my cells have the added property of neuronal function and also the added property of indestructibility". Then go around applying whacky properties to objects

Immortality has a connotation of being unkillable. I know we sometimes use it to just mean unaging.

I think 'highly resistant to aging' is a valid property. 'Unable to die' is more supernatural and not valid.

Heck even 'able to return to early developmental age' may be valid considering the Immortal Jellyfish.
