How does the character avoid being hit? Super slippy skin? Super toughness?
I don't think 'super toughness' would fall under 'avoid being hit' - that's more 'avoid being injured,' hence DR. Some forms of Passive Defence could represent 'alters the probability of being hit' or 'redirects the movement of incoming attacks.' If there were a PD advantage, it could simulate each of those just by switching out the power modifier.
