Magic is pretty weird and illogical, kinda its thing.

Rip probably wasn't really trying to beat that mobster, and didn't seem all that concerned when fighting him.

Didn't Hunter stab him in the heart? That probably forced him to need to regenerate. Plus, Hawkman's attempt was flawed due to the fact that the poem needed to be read by Hawkgirl to actually kill Savage.

Also, the invulnerable thing isn't really a factor, all that happens when Savage kills either of the two reincarnations is he retains his immortality and healing ability.
