It's because of the Snippet usage. Because of the way the MediaWiki's parser works, the HistoryText which is called at the start of the infobox template to generate the snippet is parsed at that stage, so it's parsed before the infobox (and so before the DPL usage), then included again. The DPL usage then destroys the parser object, and as the powers and abilities section comes after the Historytext, that is where it starts again.

Now, as for an alternative if you're not willing to remove DPL, would be to possibly try to let our snippet generator do the job of that module for you. At least on Batman (Bruce Wayne), if we were to wrap Template:QuoteWithCat in a  (and make a slight tweak to the custom handling of the infobox images) it and the infobox text would be removed from the snippet output (we remove divs and tables before trying to determine the snippet) and so the HistoryText would be used. Testing our script with this setup on a test instance produces the correct snippet for that article to put into the description meta tag for Google search results: "Batman is the superhero protector of Gotham City, a man dressed like a bat who fights against evil and strikes terror into the hearts of criminals everywhere. In his secret identity he is Bruce..."

What do you think of that option?
