A Useful TK can still lift an aircraft carrier and drop it on an enemy, drop them from a great height, collapse a building on them, etc. and allow the normal rules for environmental damage, collisions, etc. to follow their natural course.
It doesn't have the instantaneous effect of straight Attacks damage, and may run afoul of Immunity powers or similar, but it's always an option. Summoning lava around someone may not be an Attacks set, but they still have to deal with lava pouring down around them.
IIRC there's a sidebar about "dangerously Useful" powers, but I don't have my book handy.

I'll find, left to their own devices, players will load up on a bunch of Booster for a power like telekinesis. Because it feels awesome to be able to lift an aircraft carrier, don't it?--And then they'll go to smash someone with their often telekenitic might and......be totally underwhelmed when they do as much damage as some dude with a pistol. "It makes no sense!", they'll say, "That I can lift a million tons but I can't squish a normal human without getting lucky on my roll!"So I usually advice people - for every level of Booster you take for the Useful quality of a power, if it also has an Attacks quality, throw on a level of Attacks as well. Same for stuff like Hyperbody and Booster, too.Makes things feel a lot less wonky.
