That's a good question. Ultimately, I don't think a power level of 17,000 necessarily means you can't be hurt by a knife, rather you have the sharp reflexes to prevent it from getting close. When the Benefactor was scarred (this was never shown in my stories), he was still a child, with an unknown power level. He was reckless, he was stupid. He didn't fully understand what his power could do, until much later. -KidVegeta
