The Nemean lion vs Achilles
The Nemean lion vs Achilles
As long as he keeps his heel from being bit by the Nemean Lion's jaws, Achilles can win by sticking himself down its throat and causing it to asphyxiate.

Did the Nemean Lion have other stats besides toughness? I can't remember.
It probably depends on how Achilles compares to Hercules. Is Achilles strong enough to strangle the lion? Is Achilles durability/invulnerability greater than Hercules because I think the lion bit off a part of Hercules.

Yeah, but if you... man, we're getting into weird analogy territory, like if you disintegrated Superman's arms he wouldn't be able to go "fool! Little did you know that my arms and I are one and can be remade from me!" and will his arms back into being from pure nothingness. - Pendaran

Didn't Heracles have to trap it so that he could keep it in close quarters? It seems like the lion is semi-cognizant of its vulnerability and might be at least somewhat capable of avoiding just getting caught in a wrestling match. Since its claws are capable of piercing its own hide, which Heracles couldn't do even after it was dead, getting hit by them is probably really really bad news. Heracles stunned it with his club, so blunt force can still do THAT much, but otherwise, I might favour the lion here just 'cause I don't know that I think close quarters with those claws is going to work out so well for Achilles. Given that, invincibility on Achilles' part probably is completely irrelevant here, unless he's got feats better than a determined Heracles being unable to pierce his flesh.
