The Reflexive Enhancement (Powers 109) is the go-to modifier to turn switchable abilities into reactive defenses.

Active Defense (Powers 112) approaches the problem from the other direction. It's a sub-category of Requires Attribute Roll, so it takes an always-on defensive trait, and not only makes it require an attribute/skill roll to work (like a Parry, Dodge, etc), also requires awareness of the threat. DR works all the time; DR with Active Defense only flickers into being to catch an attack you know about.
