Hi Uskok :)

A while ago, when Luke Cage S02 came out, I proposed an idea that some of Bushmaster's powers are not from the Nightshade. After rewatching the series I'm even more certain about this, and would like to discuss it with someone of a higher power.

Here are my proofs: So in S02 E11, "The Creator", we get an insight from Sheldon to Tilda about Mclver's origin. He said that some kids got a vaccination (shown as a strange silver shot) and while all died, Mclver survived, and from that on was called "Special" and "Blessed". Than Sheldon goes ahead and straight on declares: "Nightshade not give. Nightshade reveal." So that means while it is necessary for Bushmaster to consume Nightshade to bring out his powers, it merely acts as a catalyst, revealing, uncovering his true powers. Later on once again we get a confirmation about his powers of self-healing, when he was shot as a kid, and was given Nightshade by Maddah Myrie, saying: "Nightshade don't heal, nightshade reveal." Hinting that the true sourse of his powers are indeed what was in the 'flu-shot', which could be a dna rewriting virus like in the case of Jessica and Alisha Jones and Trish Walker.

So it's clear that unlike the heart-shaped herb giving power once, nightshade futher enhanches and reveals the powers already present. Much like in the case of Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, where their powers are not from the Mind Stone, but is in their DNA, and the Stone only brought them out to the surface (something confirmed by the directiors).

Please read thru my message and consider giving an authorization to edit his powers, to remain true to the canon.

Thank you! Have a great day! :)
