Default New Leveled Power Ups [Powers/Supers]

I though it would be a good idea to create a list of new leveled power-ups for cinematic settings. Here is one possibility:

Endurance [15 CP/level]

Level 1: Fit [5] and High Pain Threshold [10]

Level 2: High Path Threshold [10], Rapid Healing [5], and Very Fit [15]

Level 3: High Pain Threshold [10], Recovery [10], Regeneration (Slow) [10], and Very Fit [15]

Level 4: High Pain Threshold [10], Recovery [10], Regeneration (Regular) [25], and Very Fit [15]

Level 5: High Pain Threshold [10], Injury Tolerance (No Brain, Unbreakable Bones) [15], Recovery [10], Regeneration (Regular) [25], and Very Fit [15]

Level 6: High Pain Threshold [10], Injury Tolerance (No Brain, No Vitals, and Unbreable Bones) [20], Recovery [10], Regeneration (Regular; Heals Radiation, +40%) [35], and Very Fit [15]

So, what leveled power-ups would you want to include?

Very High Pain Threshold [15] and Immunity to Pain [30] might be good for that? Also Injury Tolerance: Unstoppable [10]? And Hard to Subdue?

Monster Hunters: Power-Ups 1 page 10
Quote:
This new variation of Injury Tolerance lets you ignore the usual penalties for having less than 1/3 HP left.

Fatigue Included, +100%
Presumably "Fatigue Only" would be +0%?

No, not Zombies. I think it was new in Monster Hunters Power-Ups 1.

What's the difference between High Pain Threshold and Immunity to Pain?

Also, where does Very High Pain Threshold show up?

Thanks.

Resistant to Pain
Pain is a “Very Common” effect for the purpose of Resistant (p. B80). Resistant to Pain +3 is High Pain Threshold (p. B59). Resistant to Pain +8 [15] (or Very High Pain Threshold) acts as High Pain Threshold, with an additional +5 on knockdown and stunning rolls, rolls to resist painful or stunning afflictions, rolls to resist physical torture, and all HT rolls to recover from being physically stunned. Immunity to Pain [30] allows you to completely ignore the effects mentioned above.
Powers The Weird page 23:

Pain: “Pain” is a Very Common category. Resistant to Pain (+3) is equivalent to High Pain Threshold (p. B59). Immunity to Pain lets you ignore knockdown, physical stun, physical torture, and painful or stunning afflictions.

Agony: You are conscious but in such terrible pain that you can do nothing but moan or scream. If standing or sitting, you fall down. While the affliction endures, you lose 1 FP per minute or fraction thereof. After you recover, anyone who can credibly threaten you with a resumption of the pain gets +3 to Interrogation and Intimidation skill rolls. Low Pain Threshold doubles the FP loss and torture bonus. High Pain Threshold lets you overcome the agony enough to function, but at -3 to DX and IQ.
Immunity to Pain should make you immune to Pain and Agony. High Pain Threshold has its quoted effects. But how Very High Pain Threshold works is not entirely clear; maybe:

LPT       -4        -8      -12       No action possible
*Or maybe leave Agony at -3 but no fatigue loss?

Well, since you ask, none. I don't see any point in bundling traits in such a fashion.
