Seconding Place of Power for Worm.
That particular example is also Extradimensional Power Source with Earth being the access point for major-spoiler-related reasons. (Side note that Word of God pegs the hard limits as slightly outside the Earth-Moon system if (to put it in a minimal-spoilers way) conditions are amicable.)
Do we have a trope for when superpowers only work in a certain area?
Ex. Most superpowers in Worm start having issues working if they don't outright stop working upon leaving the Earth's atmosphere.
