Black Bolt Motivation Tile

Ran into an interesting scenario where Black Block’s motivation tile remained on the board after he was downed. I know it’s not supposed to be able to be matched away, but can we confirm that this is how this tile should function?

I would assume it is intended to function this way. Silver Surfer’s Black Hole remains on the board when he is downed as well.

But how can he motivate someone, if he’s dead?

As a martyr?

This makes so much sense that it should be turned into an actual power icon_e_surprised.gif
