Reasonable Side Effect?

You mean what SFX justify such a side effect ?

 

A big ole fuel tank on a flamethrower might do it. I think Blowtorch took a susceptibility to taking BODY to his fuel tank.

 

A complex energy field/energy gate might do it. If the character needs to carefully open a gate or energy field to cause an effect, and is disturbed, that might apply. For example, Firestorm the Nuclear Man could create a small fission or fusion reaction in the palm of his hand and shut it down before it did much more than an EMP. If he got smacked while doing so, I could easily justify a no range RKA explosion with no personal immunity.

 

As to the commonality of such an event (taking BODY while using a power), it depends on your defences compared to the campaign's average attack, your DCV, how frequently the power is used, and whether the power is constant or continuing or instant.

Actualy got the F/X already, it is a warhead that while in flight if the attack is targeted it goes off prematurly

 

the attack in question is way over the setting max (it is a 7d6 KA with Explosion and AP) but the character has no imunity (and in truth will be at neg body from an average attack)
