An interesting thought. Actually, there is already something so similar to this in the game that an elegant solution might be to adapt it: Just as wizards can invest XP in purchasing mana for spell casting, perhaps heroes could invest the same number of XP to purchase a reserve of 'damage ablation' ST points. There is also already something a bit like this in the Supers rules from the Legacy Edition compendium. The end result would be a more cinematic game, but I suspect it would remain very similar in most respects. The big change would be that a highly experienced hero would be able to fight through a crowd without the use of magic items, in ways that are not possible using standard rules.
