Is it just local to yourself? How do you control what it applies to? You'll have train for weightlessness. Plus what is it against? The earth being a object is not something gravity cares about

Finding out all of the above is part of the fun.

With full, discrete control of gravity, even if it's just localized to your body, you would become the deadliest person on earth. You would be invulnerable to physical impact. Your touch could crush any object. You would be literally unstoppable.

If the power is wider ranging? Well now. Youre a magneto level threat, or more if you want to get into the "can make blackholes" side of things.

How would you harm anything else if it was local to your body? Like you could apply really strong gravity between you and it, but that would kill you too unless it's an ant

Now you're thinking like a genie.
