Talk:Penance Stare/@comment-27161278-20190302083240

Incorrect on it requiring the Rider to lock eyes in order to perform the Penance Stare. Zarathos showed in the Uncanny Avengers Annual that he was able to channel the power of the penance stare to perform an area of effect penance stare that punished an entire city in mojoworld. One of its limitations is that it does not work on those who have divine protection on their soul, as it failed when used on Zadkiel's servants for that very reason.

It's also the real reason it failed on the Punisher as Deadpool had used an angel feather on Frank not long before his encounter with the Rider.
