IT: Diffuse, IT:(DR3, Cosmic, 50%) achieves a toughness that emulates a hyper-regeneration that gets overloaded with area/explosion attacks nicely. And always works; yes you can have a Villian built to mitigate it, but I would say a counterpower like that is much rarer than 10 mooks all blasting away with pi++ weapons at high ROF.

I do not know, given how many superheroes have some level of Injury Tolerance, it might be a good way to make a villain a credible threat (adding Cosmic, Irresistible Attack, +300% and Negated Advantage, Damage Reduction (100), +300% would only cost +60 CP). Such a villain would be able to ignore Mind Shield and rip away the protections of most supers (even the Archetype would feel vulnerable).
