The link directs to the powers of the Earth-616 character, not the character itself. If the readers are looking for powers, powers they will get.

Also, the text in the "Powers" section of an article doesn't provide autocategorization. And that a character may not have all the powers of his/her mainstream counterpart is the reason we use "Seemingly."

Most of the time, using the link can be more comfortable than having a disproportional amount of text in the powers compared with the rest of information in the page.

A lot of users would just blatantly copy-past all of the information from the Earth-616 version's powers, without any edit. This way is far more easier than having to revert edits, constantly notify users, etc. It's effectiveness, not lazyness.
