Maybe the pale-face situation is only when he's in a tight, near-death situation. Not divinity, but more like "zombi-dity". Other-end version of a god.

It's like the first two times of pale-face after his revival were like calibrations, prepping for beta testing; afterwards, during the naiad rescue, he went pale when normal people would have drowned, it was like a previously mentioned 'beta testing', then this time? It was when he was almost choked, and instead of getting asphyxiated, he turned pale-face with augmented strength and WHAM!
