About this deal

SHAZAM! (2019): Dr. Sivana, who has gained superpowers, grabs Billy Batson and holds his head underwater, preventing him from transforming since he can't say Shazam. To save him, Mary tries to shoot Sivana in the eye. Sivana instinctively catches the bullet, but he lets go of Billy to do it, allowing Billy to surface and transform. In Kung Fu Hustle, The Beast shows off his formidable skills by putting a gun to his own head, firing, and catching the bullet with two fingers. Any remaining dissent was silenced. Neuro in Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro, so many times. He catches one with his eyelid, he is just that awesome. In the pilot episode of War of the Worlds (1988) one of the Martians catches a grenade fired from an M203 launcher by Lt. Colonel Ironhorse. The Martian stares at it in puzzlement as Ironhorse (who doesn't realise he's fighting aliens) gapes in amazement, then the grenade explodes in his hand. The legislature and judiciary deliver dividends of democracy to the people more than the executive arm, though people might say this view is because I come from the legislative arm.

In the very first chapter of Samurai Deeper Kyo, two Mooks pull this off by catching multiple bullets with their teeth. Kyo proceeds to slice them to ribbons so fast they don't even realize what happened. The manga only gets crazier from there. Zoom manages to catch an entire volley of bullets fired by the Central City Police Department with one hand. A variant is seen in Alien Soldier, wherein the main character can create a brief force field that turns enemy fire into health powerups.

S.P.E.A.R.

Berthold in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen manages to catch a musket ball by running after it. He is the world's fastest man, after all. In his case, he tries to reach out and grab it several times because it's still hot from leaving the musket and it burns his fingers. In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines Arnie gets shot in the head, but there's no visible wound. He moves his jaws around a bit, spits out the bullet and tells the shooter "Don't do that." From the looks of it, he was shot in the mouth (although why it didn't tear his lip is a mystery) and the bullet was stopped by the metal of his spine. Presumably it would have ricocheted off his teeth.

Note that to a superpowered character, this is a much easier feat, justified in that they have, well, superpowers. Although eventually you have to wonder whether it would be easier to let them bounce off or just avoid them altogether. Nwifuru, who served as the Speaker of the State House of Assembly between 2015 and 2023, said that judges risked their lives by sentencing convicted criminals. He noted that though his administration has yet to achieve its aspirations towards the state judiciary, it was not complaining. One mobster by the name of Carmine "The Snake" Persico built up a reputation as a man that was hard to kill. In one noteworthy incident, the car he was in was riddled with bullets. One of the spent rounds lodged itself in his mouth, and he spat it out when he got up. Thus, Carmine became known among his compatriots as a man who could literally catch bullets.

In the "Enter the Zombie" supplement of All Flesh Must Be Eaten, one of the Chi powers available to Martial Artists (though it can probably also be used by Shooters) gives them the ability to do just this. In Baccano!, Graham Specter catches bullets with an adjustable spanner. That would seem substantially more difficult than catching bullets with your hands. Magneto does this all the time in the X-Men Film Series, as he has the power to control metal objects. In X-Men: First Class while training he encourages Xavier to put a pistol to his head and pull the trigger. Xavier refuses because this is too easy a test of his powers. The primary mechanic in Mars Matrix. Your Mosquito is equipped with a shield that can catch bullets. Hold it down all the way and it turns into a standard bomb, but if you let go before then you can fling the captured bullets at enemies, which turns them into experience cubes. And boy, do you need to master it. In the manga of Sands of Destruction, Taupy introduces himself to Kyrie (and the reader) by jumping in front of him and catching a dozen or so bullets.

When the Crane Hermit pisses off evil Lunch she pulls out a machine gun, unloads an entire magazine on Crane, all of which he catches. Undeterred she reloads and lets loose another full magazine, which he also catches. MythBusters tested the catch-a-bullet-in-your-teeth myth. To say the myth was busted is an understatement. They couldn't even get close to theoretically doing it. Not only is human reaction time nowhere near fast enough to catch a bullet, but molars of a PIG (which are larger and stronger than our teeth) couldn't survive a bullet, so never mind the thin teeth at the front of your mouth which is where most magicians catch bullets. Done by Jonathan Smith on Highway to Heaven when a would-be convenience store robber tries to shoot him. Which prompts the villain of Season 4 to create a high tech gun whose bullets can outspeed the Observers' reflexes, as September finds out.In Megatokyo, Junpei, presumably using his supernatural ninja powers, grabs a bullet inches from the target's head immediately after jumping through a window of a speeding car. Even so, it's downplayed, since he injures his hand in the process; apparently this sort of stunt is a last-resort option.

In Final Fantasy Tactics, the Blade Grasp ability lets you do this due to a bug. The developers decided it was a Good Bad Bug, and it was kept as an Ascended Glitch in the re-release while other bugs (like the infinite JP glitch) were fixed. And since the success rate of Blade Grasp is based on the character's Bravery stat, the chances of catching bullets can be extremely high (a maxed-out Bravery stat is 97, meaning a 97% chance of success for Blade Grasp).In Killer7, MASK de Smith does not catch the bullet. Oh no. He headbutts it out of thin air. And he wins. He isn't even Made of Iron. He's made out of freakin' adamantium. Superman: One minute ago, I saw a little girl screaming because she was staring down the barrel of a gun. She was nine, and she will remember it for the rest of her life. (bang) Now you will, too. The Meteor Man's Super-Speed allows catching an entire volley of bullets, but the weakening power meant he wasn't perfectly invulnerable when doing so. Characters in GURPS can do this if they have Enhanced Time sense. With great difficulty they can deflect lasers.
