The reflexive nature is part of the Super-Effort enhancement, it is not a separate enhancement. You do not need to spend an action to ready extra effort, and Super-Effort is the same way. For example, you can reflexively activate Super ST when attacked to reduce knockback because it is a reflexive aspect of Super-Effort.

In the case of having Reflexive on a normally passive power so that it can still be useful when it has to spend FP to active, you end up with a net +35% enhancement, which is not optimal or even sensible. Of course, there is no particular reason why you could not put Super Effort as a +400% enhancement to DR with Force Field. In that case, a character with DR 8 (Affects Others, +50%; Area Effect, 4 yards, +100%; Force Field, +20%; Hardened, +80%; Super, -10%; Super-Effort, +400%) [296] would normally have DR 8, but could reflexively spend 1 FP per minute to increase it to DR 50.
