Minions are physically invincible and immortal. In the film Minions, when Kevin, Stuart, and Bob were tortured on the rack, their bodies were able to stretch easily; throughout all three films, they've been hit by various objects on their bodies, got their head stuck in a jar, and etc., without any ill effect.
According to this article, “We Dissected Minions with an Evolutionary Biologist” from Vice, minions are in fact immortal due to the fact that they evolved from yellow, single cellular organisms that originated from the ocean and eventually moved on to dry land, like a vast amount of terrestrial creatures.
Super Endurance - Though Minion isn't particularly durable outside of his special suit, the suit does allow him to withstand a tremendous amount of physical stress. Fish-Like Alien Physiology - Minion is a fish-like creature with a small body, which can work to both his advantage and disadvantage.
Because the Minions have existed since the dawn of time, it is reasonable to assume that they will live on forever. The Minions also seem not to age and are shown to have a high degree of invulnerability, surviving otherwise deadly encounters and dangers.
Minions can overpower Air Defenses as they are single-target defenses, and will take too much time to retarget, allowing Minions to inflict massive damage. However, they are still very weak to faster turrets with area splash or multi-target such as the Archer Tower, a multi-target Inferno Tower or the Wizard Tower.
And so, however many Minions exist now is the same number that have existed through the centuries. They are basically immortal, even if the animators prefer not to answer that question outright.
In the film, an eleven-year-old Gru plans to become a supervillain with the help of his Minions, which leads to a showdown with a malevolent team, the Vicious 6.
Pierre Coffin, Minion co-creator and primary voice artist, has revealed the reason all of the Minions are male. Coffin has credited their collective stupidity for the Minions' exclusively male form.

As seen in Despicable Me 2, after the first minion became a purple one, he lost his goggles and his eyesight dramatically diminished, and he was no longer able to see properly. The goggles, or glasses, are a way for them to see the world and help their masters, without it all being blurry and confusing.
At the climax of the film, Kevin, accidentally transformed into a giant, actually saves his brothers from Scarlet Overkill. Kevin is actually the smartest Minion in the entire species.
They have no discernible noses but seem capable of smelling, as they are shown smelling fruit and are affected by the Fart Gun. They are also shown without ears but can hear and respond to sounds. Most Minions appear either bald or with a few wispy strands of black hair on their heads.
In the first prequel, the single-cell organisms from which Minions would evolve include a selection of single-eyed specimens alongside their two-eyed brethren. Narratively, the cyclops Minion has evidently existed throughout time and is not the result of later design or development, but natural biology.
The words, which are a mishmash of baby-talk that sounds like other languages, were meant to be amusing, according to the directors. Minions language translator did not design Minionese from the ground up to function as a full-fledged language, in contrast to many other fictitious languages.
After an escape with Kevin, Stuart, and Bob (all Minions: Pierre Coffin), Gru finds out that Otto, a large, rounded, blabbering Minion with braces, has traded the stone for a pet rock (it had cute eyes and Otto loved it at first sight), causing him to fire the Minions before going alone to find the stone.
Now, according to official sources and fan measurements, Gru is estimated to be about 14 feet tall (4.27 meters). This figure becomes particularly interesting when you think about the world he's designed to inhabit.
Felonious Gru, alternatively spelled as Felonius Gru and typically referred to simply as Gru, is a fictional character and the main protagonist of the Despicable Me film series. Voiced by American actor Steve Carell, he has appeared in all five films in the series.
Gru seems to be very wealthy, as indicated that he pays each of the minions wages, and there are over 10,000 minions. Although, it is also indicated that much of his money comes from the Bank. However, his source of income in Despicable Me 2 is unknown before he became an agent of AVL.
However, there was a DNA test done on Gru back in 2017 via “23andMe” as a promotional thing and it revealed that Gru's genetic background as 55% Freedonian (a fictional country), 18% Balkan, 10% Sardinian, 7% Native American (exact tribe is unknown), 7% Middle Eastern (exacts are also unknown), and 2% Japanese.
They're depicted as existing as far back as “the beginning of time”, surviving millions of years before Despicable Me even took place. We then got screenwriter Brian Lynch confirming on Twitter exactly what the movies imply: that minions are immortal, and they cannot die.
2. They've had dental work. Eagle-eyed movie viewers will have already spotted that the minions had crooked teeth in the first Despicable Me movie but then, in the second one, they were perfectly straight.
Originally Answered: During 1933 and 1945, did the Minions serve Adolf Hitler? Nope, the minions were trapped inside a cave during the 30s and 40s. They didn't manage to escape until 1968. Which means they served Mao Zedong, Sadam Husein and Osama Bin Laden.
