My immovability power confuses me. So I have some questions.

Does it give me any ability to resist damage? For example, if a truck is roaring at me, and I invoke this power, and the truck hits me... what happens?

Is it a reactionary power, like my force shield? Assuming the damage resistance thing is not going to work, the best thing I can see it doing is preventing me from being moved from the attack of something, like a wind attack for example. But if I have to win initiative to make it useful against that sort of thing, it has little point.

Is it a power I can put onto someone or something else? If the bad guys were to try to escape and they are going to ram through that chain link fence or drive over that baby carriage to do it, can I make the object immobile so they wouldn't succeed? Would the object survive?

I'm at a loss right now as to if this power is actually useful to someone who is not invulnerable.
 

If anything you would probably take more damage from the oncoming truck. Since there is no inertia sending you flying the truck would literally have to cut straight through you.

However, when the bad guys try to toss us out of the airplane without parachutes, or you are slipping down that mountainside, being unmovable would be way helpful.

Of course I have no idea how it really works since I have only seen the rules at a brief glance.

That's just it. I can fly (making your unmovable scenarios rather trivial), and unless I'm mistaken I would need an "extra" to affect others. This power may be all but useless as I'm completely missing any applications whatsoever.

It's a corner case power to be sure but it could have it's advantages, like what if someone was pulling/pushing you towards something or aways from something. Or if you had to stay on a exact spot, your immovability power becomes your new best friend and as you said you could get the ability to use it on others, that would open up a whole new range of uses.
 

It's lowers your chance of being bull rushed, tripped, thrown or knocked back from a powerful hit. So not only is it useful, it's cheap (a 1 point power) and it makes sense that a master of kinetic energy shouldn't be able to be moved unless he wants to be, right?

And come to think of it, because it's a one point power, and it's an extra of your Kinetic Energy Control, you should get a free extra with it. How's Range: touch sound?
