However, it would be reasonable for full-on Immunity to Pain (in GURPS Powers: Divine Favor) to provide this benefit.

Consider Injury Tolerance: Diffuse (Only immunity to crippling injuries -80%)[20]

I also agree that it gives you additional options. For sanely played characters, this isn't the same as Immunity to Being Taken Prisoner . . . the fair cost of which would be the price of Warp (Accessibility, Only when taken prisoner, -40%; Reflexive, +40%) [100], or 100 points, because that's roughly what it does for you. Unconsciousness ought to be a rare cause of capture in plausible stories – most imprisonment should result from surrender by the prisoners, betrayal by their apparent allies, or (at its most violent) grappling and restraint. Thus, I'd be hesitant to price Immunity to Unconsciousness on the grounds that it's Immunity to Being Taken Prisoner. Mostly, it's Immunity to Being Bored While Waiting For Your PC To Wake Up.

Unkillable 1 isn't enough. People with Supernatural Durability only die from taking 10Xhp in one hit, or from their vulnerability, they can keep going past past -10xHP if neither of those conditions is met.
