[Powers]: Questions About Gravity Powers
So I came back to a character I began a few years ago and I'm still trying to grasp... well a lot of stuff in GURPS but specifically right now I'm trying to get a better handle on some of the rules from GURPS Powers. I think I understand things in broad strokes but once I go into a little more detail I run into issues.
My first major question comes from Powers p. 29 and p.: Quote:

Re: [Powers]: Questions About Gravity Powers
To be fair, Gravity is a rough one to handle; I haven't really used it. I, personally, don't see Elemental being used for it. What would be the mundane countermeasure/insulator for a Gravity "element"?
At most, I can see Gravity powers acting as opposed powers to other Gravity powers, but that's covered under "Powers vs Powers", not "Elemental".

Addendum: Another Advantage that is listed as legit but seems a bit wonky is Damage Resistance w/Force Field and Limited: Physical. Again I realize the entire thing is "four-color realism" so I shouldn't dwell on things too much, but if a gravity manipulating character is raising gravity so that physical attacks are slowed to the point they lose less damage, what about attacks coming from above? If the power manipulates the gravity between any and all things in the environment, this isn't as big of a deal, especially if the character is allowed to subconsciously be doing whatever works or all at once: the gravitational pull of everything that is not going to make say bullets hit you harder is increased while whatever would is lessened/reversed.
