Not for him, wounds healing in a hiss of acrid smoke caused by the kinetic energy of his body sealing itself shut, severed limbs regrowing in a matter of hours. As such, there are only a few things he fears, and few of them involve injury or pain or even death.
His fears, such as they are, lie elsewhere.
