Hikaru can have some resistance to explosions in general because of his AIM field, but shouldn't be immune to his own explosions. Otherwise he should just be immune to all explosions and that won't work. Think of this as a limitation Hikaru needs to work around and be conscious of when he attempts to deploy explosions in point blank range. At the very least as a level 3 him being able to cause life threatening explosions isn't possible yet. Note that Hikaru can learn to use his ability like an [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Range_Acoustic_Device]LRAD[/url] in that his explosions become directional. In fact, I encourage you to put something like this as his special skill since Hikaru doesn't have one yet.

I'm actually updating the character with some big changes, but thank you for reminding me about the power's drawbacks. The updated version (which is a woman instead) can create explosions that are usually directionally focused (Micro), but those explosions have less range. The Macro Version of her explosions deal damage to herself based on how intense the explosion is, so her goal in honing the Explosion Manipulation would be to adapt to the splash damage her power deals to make it benefit mostly to her. (Actually, both versions damage her in some way, though the Macro-style explosions deals more noticeable damage to herself)

Her Signature Ability basically involves her dealing a nearly equal amount of damage to herself and her opponent.
