First, if beating Hoaqin merits the "boring invincible hero" label, you can probably start using it. From what we have seen, Hoaqin on his own is no longer match for Viole after first stage of his "Revolution". Fortunately, our antagonist already acquired one (willing) copy he can merge with, and I doubt first stage Viole can surpass even 2/5 White... It's basically moving the goal post. =)

As for your analogue, I believe it's far too different from Viole's situation, and also... how could you?! Viole is an Irregular from the get-go and, despite his initial flakiness, he demonstrated Shinsoo resistance far beyond that of Koon's or (2nd generation) Zahard's blood, as well as subconscious Shinsoo "control" that is beyond anyone from within the Tower... And he did so already on 2F, before FUG got him to merge with anything. Later, with the help from the Thorn, he gained more conscious use of these dormant abilities, as well as overall boost to his power. However, now that he is going through his "Revolution", he should gain permanent and full access to all his previously dormant abilities and power, so the only remaining (known) effect of the Thorn would be the power amplification. Moreover, for all we know, it's entirely possible that Viole becomes so powerful at some point (after completing his "Revolution" or later) that the Thorn will no longer have any effect. Kind of like giving the Thorn to Enryu... redundant... =P
