PMO when a writer's like 'here's a super cool but completely OP one-shot ability that's a major gimmick of this character' and then everyone else is like 'actually having a completely OP one-shot ability makes writing meaningful conflict difficult so instead we're just going to make everyone immune to it'. Just don't write in completely OP one-shot abilities in the first place! It's like the first rule of power design!

A [i]way[/i] more interesting thing to have done with Penance Stare immunity is making the acts of the individual [i]not evil[/i] from their foreign perspective. Put GR up against an avatar of a neutral but destructive force. Like, give us GR vs Lady Death - Lady Death obviously kills people, she's Death, but even though it causes pain and suffering and snuffs out lives, it's not [i]evil[/i] (at least from her perspective) because it's just her natural function and a basic law of the universe. Oops, you can't Penance Stare the embodiment of entropy.
