I am not that familiar with him from the comics. Did he ever use his powers defensively? Seems like he could use his control of matter to prevent any matter from touching him in a harmful fashion. If he could maintain this as an ongoing effect, he should have a forcefield or something, limited to only material, nonliving attacks (so lasers, telekinetic bolts, fists, etc. could ignore it). Or if he can harden the air around him into a barrier, his forcefield could protect him against nearly anything--though maybe to a lesser degree if he is using the air to protect himself rather than controlling the substance of the incoming attack itself.
Yes, his biggest defenses would involve Power Blocks, using the air and ground to create shields to deflect incoming attacks. I'm just not sure how yet those are calculated or what they'd be (one part of Powers I haven't fully grokked yet).
