As someone that doesn't really read Inhumans, does Bolt not have some sort of inherent immunity to his own powers going off? Or is him tanking it impressive simply because of the destruction it caused?
An assumed immunity is usually how powers work. Rarely stated, such as the time Byrne had Darkseid say it after Superman steered his OE into him. But it's the only explanation for, say, Superman not burning out his own eyes, yet still able to be burned by Supergirl.
But if you had a character that could blow up a universe, I wouldn't take the fact they're standing in the middle of the blast as tanking a universe buster.. That's just not how comics work.

Like a short, blue gumball type character. Talks like a child. Says "Squish" when erasing a universe. You wouldn't say he's tanking his own attack, and that Frank Castle could still KO him.
Back me up here, people.

Looks like Dione is to them what Dragon Ball Super is to Carv..

That's why I was asking. Unless I was misunderstanding, people were talking like it was some huge feat for Blackbolt. I mean, it's impressive, sure, but there seems like context.
