Don't know about the comics but Apparently the shows say that his skin is made from some kinda shells? I don't get it, I've broken seashells before, they're not diamonds, so there's no reason for his skin to be that strong where bullets don't graze him or even a hacksaw.

Supposedly the origin of how they came up with him is that it's a power fantasy for black people in a time when they would often get shot

Also his official super hero name in the comics is Power Man

Ah. So the comics have no reason, which might be preferable to the shows inventing a reason which still doesn't fit considering shells aren't as strong as diamonds or titanium alloy I dunno.

It's a metaphor for how the black don't crack.

His skin is just tough to penetrate. Do we need anything more specific? No. It's just a super power.

He volunteered for an experiment while he was in prison for a crime he didn't do, and somebody tried to kill him during the experiment.

So I guess there really isn't a reason and they might as well have just said "super powers" instead of trying to make some science mumbo jumbo about infusing his skin with alabaster shells or whatever.

Something about Velcro and the shells makes them stronger. Probably like how plywood is stronger than regular wood.

The experiment was a cellular regeneration one, but it got accelerated, he was exposed to too much, and that's what caused the unbreakable skin.

He doesn't use that name anymore. Victor Alvarez does. Unless it's changed really recently.

Except the comics DO have a reason, and all it would have taken is a quick google search.
