I don't see the point at all. SuperToughness and NighInvulnerability are already tropes and are close to being TheSameButMore but Nigh Invulnerability covers anyone who can be hurt, it could be that they are very tough, or it could be that they have nobody to damage on account of being made of air or some unidentified energy. Super toughness is simply one of the RequiredSecondaryPowers for SuperStrength and many other StockSuperpowers.

In short, SuperToughness is '''not''' the same but less of NighInvulnerability. It is two different tropes that happen to overlap. Also, MadeOfIron is not "Super Toughness but less", it is when supposedly normal people take more damage without suffering the consequences it should take on a normal human body. It is a different trope that just happens to overlap with the other two.

The tropes are not part of some sliding scale, they are all separate. Further more I don't think we should bother with a sliding scale. Just put characters on which trope they apply to.
