I had been thinking along these same lines recently, although not as inertia, I was thinking of a person with variable mass. Imagine you had a throttle that could control your inertia from near zero to near infinite. So you could ride a beam of light, or be an immovable object. You could become lighter than air and fly, or become heavier than a building and collapse a bridge. Now there is a superhero!
