>>120052647To show off how powerful some other character is, as was pointed out in
>>120052815I came up with a reason a while back that the Penance Stare as all these weird limits and restrictions due to the human host interpreting just what it means, being a reflection of their current mental state and understanding of their powers further reinforcing the idea that the human host provides control to the Spirit of Vengeance as well as functioning as a limiter. Since this functions on a subconscious level it makes it hard to just stop limiting it even when you know this and will manifest different weaknesses and limitations for each rider.
Really though, Marvel needs an actual effective editorial staff that would say things like Black Bolt's voice and the Penance Stare just don't get tanked unless its a truly special circumstance with "But it's so hype" not counting
