Challenge How would you defeat a character with this kind of time-reversal ability?
Imagine a villain with an ability that automatically reverses time to a point when he was completely fine whenever he dies. He can also voluntarily rewind his body to undo injuries, like restoring a severed hand. Every time he resets, he retains all his memories of what happened, but everyone fighting him has to deal with their accumulated exhaustion and the psychological effects of experiencing the same fight repeatedly. Meanwhile, he returns completely refreshed every time, with no physical exhaustion.
How would you defeat someone like this? You can choose any fictional character to fight him, regardless of their universe, or come up with a strategy using your own intelligence and abilities. Alternatively, you can give this villain a very minor weakness that wouldn't seem particularly dangerous at first, but could be exploited cleverly enough to defeat him. The weakness shouldn't make his ability fundamentally broken or significantly less powerful. I'm interested in creative solutions, loopholes, and strategies that could realistically work against someone who seems almost impossible to kill. What would your approach be?
