Personally, I think it's super eardrums. Everyone from Superman to John McClane can be within inches of a devastating explosion and suffer no hearing loss.
What do you think?

Plot armor. It appears in EVERY movie. Even ones without super-powers or even necessarily action heroes.
If the plot says "This character doesn't die," then that character doesn't die. Believability be damned.Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
--Lord Alfred Tennyson--

Sharp shooting. The ability to always hit.
I think restorative nostalgia is the number one issue with comic book fans.
A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:
Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

Indestructibility. No matter how many times the heroes gets shot, punched, stabbed, bludgeoned, falls from great heights, they bounce right back up and continue the fight until they ultimately win.

To expand upon this, they probably have a healing factor as well. If there are sequels, it's worse, because it's implied that they can survive these long and painful physical ordeals time after time, without incurring any permanent injuries.

TV Tropes calls this 'Mook Chivalry'. It's hilarious. Especially considering most of these 'mooks' are supposed to be highly trained fighters. Originally Posted by CliffHanger2

The ability to make love to many women and not get a woman pregnant or get an STD.
James Bond has that power.
