Immortality and invulnerability kind of have to go hand in hand. Like, if I live forever that would imply that my cells are at the very least capable of healing and multiplying perfectly or else in a few hundred years I'd just be a non-sentient tumor.

That would also mean that my body would be capable of perfectly regenerating itself like Wolverine, otherwise my organs would eventually shut down after small injury after small injury add up.

What if they dipped your feet in cement and dropped you on the bottom of the ocean and you didn't get out until the planet exploded and now you're floating through space forever?

You'd just chew your feet off and wait for them to grow back. If you can't heal you aren't immortal.

Not really. You body could just be great at not ever making a mistake when copying DNA and never wearing it down.
That would just make you never age past maturity but not give you any superpowers.

Yea but if I can still be easily taken out by an untreated infection that's not really "immortal", I'm just Tom Cruise at that point.
