Yes that does make sense....
Super Jumping doesn't appeal to me,
If i went with keeping flight and doing gravity control full out would that be too much of an overlap with your telekinetic?

My bad.Actually, if he has instinctual, localized control, of mass/density, he can mimic nigh invulnerability, flight, super speed, strength and endurance.
Starting in order:
He can make himself extra dense while making everything in his proximity less dense: this would lessen the amount of energy he is hit with and better allow him to absorb it without being knocked around
The most complex use of the power, the simplest way to fly is to make himself lighter than air, but this lacks a stable means of lateral movement in and off itself. An alternative to the above is he could make the air above himself less dense while also making the air around and beneath himself heavier: lighter than air is a relative concept, and if the air above him is lighter its less able to weigh him down ;3
and as for getting around he would have several options starting with Swimming through the air! (with extra thick air to push himself off of he could actually swim around rather than hover around comically while trying to swim in normal thin air.) Something he could also do in additon to or in place of would be to make half of the air infront of himself, the upper half, lighter then the surrounding air while making the lower half heavier, causing it to vacate the area in front of him and make a constant vacuum that vacuums him along, he could do the inverse behind himself for an added bit of thrust.
Oddly enough, with this means of thrust he would go fastest standing strait up rather than in a ‘superman’ pose or the like.
and as for speed: make any body part going forwards exceptionally light, and any part being used to push the rest of the body heavy, using the trick above to push air out of the way and onto to the character’s back can add even more speed.
Oddly enough he would be at his strongest when he is at his lightest: as normal you’re lifting both yourself and the object your lifting, but yourself is simply a given that is ignored ;3 making this lighter also helps mimicking raw strength, but he would be unable to do any hulk smash stuff (without smashing his own bones, Denser dos not mean tougher, glass is dense.
an odd aspect of using this power for ‘super strength’ is he can make himself and the object he is lifting, with the exception of his feet that would instead be super dense, very light and basically ignore his and the object’s combined center of gravity, allowing him to, possibly, uproot a tree and then use it as a baseball bat: with only super human strength, no matter how strong, swinging a tree like a bat would be imposable.
And making his body generally lighter means its working less hard, and thus able to do so for longer :3
Just a few thoughts

How does increasing gravity makes someone more dense or tougher outside of comics? That is one aspect of comic physics I never got. And why is gravity control the same as ranged density control? Mass stays the same, regardless of gravity, this is why physics use mass instead of weight.
This is a honest question, not sarcasm.

My thought was the dubious angle of if you could manipulate the higgs boson, you could control gravity and inertia
So toughness would actually be a forcefeild that slows incoming attacks so much that they don't hurt so bad.
Anyways I'm thinking and I'll come up with an acceptable character concept today.

The higgs boson's still a theory btw! The guys from the collider have been shooting protons for years now, and statistically they need to do it for a while longer to have any meaninglful statistical probability to say anything about the higgs.
I had a character in WD's game who had gravity control. He would increse the weight of opponents to pin them down, or reduce it to throw them up in the sky and let them fall to their doom. He also had a gravity vector switcher, that is changing the direction the gravity pulls, making it a ranged attack. He had a separate force field generator unrelated to gravity control, cuz he was a mad scientist so that gave him several gizmos.

actually the announced the finding this morning... http://www.cnn.com/2012/07/04/tech/physics-higgs-particle/index.html

I know, you see, they announced that they found a particle coherent with the higgs, although their statistical certainity is rather low, they necessarily need to keep bashing particles to get repeatably results. Notice how they use words like "consistent with" "characteristics match" etc. I'm a scientist too, that's why I know the slang for saying "We are not sure". It's statistically uncertainly at this point.
So while this is a milestone if you like, there's a great deal of data to be collected in order to say "We found the higgs boson."
