Captain Flagsuit doesn’t have a rare, one of a kind invincible shield. He’s got a regular shield, and he’s just that damn good with it. Albino Sorcerer Man doesn’t have a unique soul-sucking sword. He’s haunted by a demon that gradually transforms any sword he uses into a demon blade. Functionally there’s no difference here. The guy is just going to have a different explanation for why his weapon will always come back. I have no problem with this. After all, if he doesn't take "focus", then he has no reason to expect to lose it. Captain America, thir, and anyone else who expects to never truly suffer long-term loss of a power shouldn't be looking at Focus anyway, but should instead consider tweaking Restrain able.

No, he does take focus. But Captain Flagsuit doesn’t have a super special one-of-a-kind vibranium/adamantium shield (unbreakable, OAF). Instead his shield is just a regular metal discus. He buys the power the exact same way (Energy Blast, levels in DCV, Force Field, whatever), he just makes sure that his shield can be easily reproduced. It’s still OAF, it might even still be unbreakable. It’s his amazing skill with this run of the mill shield that makes it powerful. In someone else’s hands (without his ultra specialized training and experience) it would just be a 8/8 Def piece of metal. Same exact character build, different description.
