Injury Tolerance: (varies), JUST damage mitigation

The issue with durability based on dodge has always been the luck factor. You will either crit fail a dodge or be critted; and have to have additional probability mitigators to deal with that. Additionally high ROF weapons tend to make life tough for dodgers in one-shot kill weapon scenarios.

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.
