** Being insane doesn't give power in itself but the ways to gain the power involve things that no sane person no matter how desperate would attempt.
** While deeply unsettling to normal people Jack's abilities are from acceptance of the [[CosmicHorror darker aspects of the universe]] - the 'sane' majority is actually in deep denial and his abilities come easy to those who can accept the unpleasant truth.
* '''Implied''': Jack had spent a long exile in the wilderness and emerged unhinged and with a dangerous new martial art style - it isn't stated for certain if he developed it separate from his madness or it is dependent upon it.

** Alternatively, the power works by [[RealityWarper making the user's personal version of reality override the consensus version]]--only the insane and the [[AchievementsInIgnorance ignorant]] can actually ''use'' it, because you have to outright believe your own version is possible in order for it to work, and normal people know it isn't.
