* SuperEmpowering: ''Legion of X'' reveals that her mutant ability is the power to grant or activate mutant powers in people she touches, lasting about an hour. Unfortunately, this is found out when she's been magically cursed so that the mutations are also monstrous, which further affects people who already have their mutant powers activated.

An ancient sword fueled by a horrific blood curse that [[TheCorruption corrupts the owner]], the more blood they take with it, the stronger the curse gets.

* NoSell: One of the blade's abilities is that it can turn the Grey Gargoyle's petrifying touch right back on him.
* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: A horrifying aversion plays a part in Dane's exclusion from ''Age of Ultron'' - the blade doesn't care about the nature of the life being taken. Even Ultron's drone army is just alive enough to push the curse into overdrive.

* GreenEyedMonster: During the 80s, he and Wasp had kind of a thing going on. Dane got very jealous when she met up with Paladin, even though nothing was going on there.

* {{Retcon}}: There've been a few with the Ebony Blade. Originally, the sword was cursed. This changed in the mid-00s to the sword just being naturally evil. Also, Nate's status as a legacy character. Originally, the lineage just went back to Sir Percy of Scandia, an Arthurian knight. ''New Excalibur'' changes it up so that Percy wasn't anywhere near the first to wield the sword.

There was a lot of speculation he was intended to be a different character originally (a lot of bets were on [[Characters/Avengers70sMembers Wonder Man]], and he does look a '''lot''' like Exodus), but the truth was rather more mundane -- his creator Bob Harras just wrote himself into a corner, threw up his hands and gave up.
