To get to my point a little quicker, two individuals gifted with super powers concerning their inertia would be perfect. What would be ideal would be objects large enough to see, but not so huge that you cannot see them all at once from a short distance. Perhaps a black hole is very nearly immovable, but there is an entirely different set of physics rules for them (or at least their event horizons, but this is not a discussion on black holes, at any rate). Conventional physics seems to imply that all things are both moveable and stoppable. One point that has failed to emerge is where exactly we are going to acquire these unstoppable and immovable objects. But it’s something like telling the reader that this paranoid character can only get safely past a stretch of path by avoiding the pavement between the cracks.
