I can smell a Comic Book Superhero here...

Awesome!

Will this negation of inertia be applicable to only the hero's person, or to stuff he touches as well?

Because then if he only loses his bodily inertia, he should be well stable with clothes on, but if that ghastly scenario as proposed by Pyrotex were to occur, where he's blown to the outer reaches of the biggest galactic void, he will do so... naked. The first time he drops his rods to have a shower, he's gone.

But then, I suppose you can arrange your narrative so that stuff he touches loses their inertia, too - then he can conceivably use flashlights for jet engines. But then, when he touches down on Earth and touches the mother planet, Earth itself would fly away from the sun!

Don't know how you're gonna get around that one...
