Power Palms is the placement of something important on or in someone's palms. This can be something supernatural or technical: a map, a release for special powers, or something of that sort.
If defensive, this may be because of its similarity to the "stop" hand motion. If knowledge-based, this may be because of Buddhist influence, requesting openness.
Related to Power Fist and Hand Blast. This power could potentially be the cause of Offhand Backhand, and is often used to execute the dreaded Facepalm of Doom.

In Gundam SEED Destiny, Shinn's titular Destiny Gundam is fitted with a pair of powerful, short-ranged Palma Fiocina beam cannons in its hands, allowing it to administer a particularly nasty Facepalm of Doom. This was based on the tactic of using the energy-transfer plugs in older suits' hands as Emergency Weapons, which Lowe Guele of Gundam SEED Astray was especially fond of pulling off in his Astray Red Frame.

In Naruto, the Hyuga clan have a chakra-based fighting style which has a focus of palms.
Deidara has mouths on his palms and chest which he uses to make explosive clay.
Most ninja can only release chakra well through the palms of their hands and the soles of their feet.
Naruto and Sasuke are each granted a god-tier Power Palm that doubles as a sealing technique in order to combat Kaguya.

In Fullmetal Alchemist, Solf J. Kimblee has two halves of a transmutation circle in his palms, when he claps, he can put it together to turn things into bombs. Other characters perform alchemy by clapping, though that is because they have seen the Truth behind alchemy, and can thus do it without a transmutation circle, instead using the clapping motion to turn their arms and chest into an empty transmutation circle.

The Celestial named Arishem the Judge has a formula on his palm that he uses to decide whether a race will live or die. One X-Factor story arc has Arishem show up at a planet where everyone has superpowers and are divided into three warring factions. As he raises his hand to judge them, they all combine their powers into a single beam that blows off his hand... which was exactly what was required for Arishem to judge them worthy of survival.

In Spider-Man: The Animated Series, Morbius can suck people's plasma through holes on his palms. This may be because of the Never Say "Die" mentality of the times, or because of its saving him from having to actually taste the residents of New York. Apparently, this censorship requirement was a throwback to the Comics Code mentality, when "real" vampires could not be shown (the same applied to Batman: The Animated Series), so the creators had to come up with an alternative way for Morbius to suck blood. Whether this ended up being any less gruesome is up to debate, but it's agreed to look damn creepy. Those suction holes twitch whenever they get a closeup.

A few characters within Marvel Universe showcase this trope.
Not only is Iron Man the for Trope Codifier for Powered Armor Superhero but arguably this trope too. As almost all of his iconic suits have had the ability to fire repulsor blasts from the gloves' palms, which also function as flight stabilizers.
Spider-Man has the triggers for his webshooters in the palms of his hands, to produce webs from his wrists. This is the reason for his signature hand motion, because the trigger can be selectively pressed with only the middle and ring fingers. This is to keep webbing from coming out every time he claps or makes a fist.

One X-Factor story arc has Arishem show up at a planet where everyone has superpowers and are divided into three warring factions.

On Stargate SG-1, the Go'a'uld have at least two different pieces of technology — a short-range weapon and a healing device — that direct energy through their palms.
In Stargate Atlantis, the Wraith feed by sucking nutrients from their victims through suckers on their right palm. The same palm can be used to revive recently dead humans. One such use of the latter is to torture victims by alternatingly sucking them dry and reviving them. Some of the victims would break and become Wraith-worshipers, treating the "Gift of Life" like a drug.

SEED was not the first Gundam series to have suits with Power Palms, though. Perhaps the oldest example in the franchise is Haman Karn's Qubeley from Zeta Gundam and Gundam ZZ, which had a beam launcher fitted in each hand that could detach to form a pair of beam sabers for close-quarters combat. This design was borrowed wholesale much later in Gundam AGE, where it became the standard armament (along with a powerful, slow-firing Chest Blaster) for the UE's Gafrans.

Oliver realizes too late that the bangs hairstyle that hides their left eye is a too obvious clue that there's something off about that eye—meaning it's misdirection from something else: a second basilisk eye hidden in the palm of their left hand.

Spider-Man has the triggers for his webshooters in the palms of his hands, to produce webs from his wrists. This is the reason for his signature hand motion, because the trigger can be selectively pressed with only the middle and ring fingers. This is to keep webbing from coming out every time he claps or makes a fist.

Transformers: Animated: Lugnut can pull a variation on this trope with the "Punch of Kill Everything". He replaces his hand-claws with a bomb and jet engine Power Fist combo, at the center of it is Big Red Button that immediately creates an explosion that can level a cty block if it slams into something.

Unsounded: The palms are where a spellwright's Anatomy of the Soul interfaces with the Background Magic Field to cast spells. Magic tends to cause a telltale glow in a wright's palms, and Anti-Magic cuffs are a reliable way to neutralize them.

The Doctor Who episode "The Curse of the Black Spot" has an incorporeal mermaid who marks people on their palms. They think they're being marked for death; actually, they're being marked for transport into a hospital spaceship in Another Dimension...

Buddha's Palm plays this absolutely straight with the titular skill, an absurdly powerful chi blast emitted from the palms. Most characters in this wuxia can expel chi force through their palms at well, notably the hero, Long Jian-fei, who clears a row of mooks coming at him up a flight of stairs by sending his chi to topple every single of them and send the mooks rolling down.

There is an expression "X is in the palm of my hand" frequently used in anime when a character wants to brag about his power. The idea comes from Journey to the West where Sun Wukong, despite all his powers, failed to jump out of Buddha's hand.

In Digimon Frontier, Dynasmon has Power Crystals set into his palms, which he can use to fire blasts of fire and light for his Dragon Thrower attack. The broader Digimon lore says that he can use any two Elemental Powers out of ten, but he only ever uses fire and light in Frontier.

In Stargate Atlantis, the Wraith feed by sucking nutrients from their victims through suckers on their right palm. The same palm can be used to revive recently dead humans. One such use of the latter is to torture victims by alternatingly sucking them dry and reviving them. Some of the victims would break and become Wraith-worshipers, treating the "Gift of Life" like a drug.

Dragon Ball Z:
The palms are the most often-used place for Saiyans (and other races) to form and fire their ki as energy blasts.
Androids 19 and 20 have ki absorption devices on their palms. Dragon Ball GT has Super Android 17 with the same feature. Even though he, unlike 19 and 20, can absorb energy without using his palms, the palm devices are still there.

Logan's Run. The inhabitants of the city have a Lifeclock (crystal) implanted in their palms. It changes color as the person ages: when it starts blinking red and then turns black (at age 30) the person must report to Carousel and go through a ceremony that results in their death.

Street Fighter: Chun-Li's Kikoken (as well as the Kikosho) is the technique that more closely uses this principle. The Shotos' Hadoken (specifically Ryu, Ken, Akuma and Sakura) use chi drawn from the entire hands, the palms serving mostly to directing the resulting projectile.
In Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark Of The Millennium, Sakura's Hadoken is morphed into the Hadosho, which also fits the trope, being a short streak of light launched straight from the palms rather than a full fireball.
