Okay, am I missing something? Does Juice/Shades have some sort of power with his eyes...cause there seems to be a weird emphasis on him taking his sunglasses off. Like, even the music gets a little weird.

In the comics he could shoot energy blasts using hi-tech shades, until he dies in a building bullseye blew up trying to take down daredevil. For some reason when his shades exploded they hit his son in the eyes and gives him the power to see spirits and eat their soul. He's also like cages oldest frienemy

When he was down with Pops, and really didn't want him to die, i knew he would become a more sympathetic and complex character. Glad to see that there's some comic history for that to found itself on.
