Darkness Control -> Haunt -> What does its sub-power "Haunted" actually do?

[biostem]

Within the "Darkness Control" powerset, there's the power "Haunt".  I get that it summons 2 shades that attack the target, but what exactly does the "Haunted" sub-power actually do?  It seems to grant a large taunt effect to the designated target.  Is this to get the shades to go after it, to make enemies prioritize the shades over you,  or something else entirely?  Thanks for reading!

According to City of Data, Haunted applies a Taunt effect to Darkness Control shades, as well as Shades spawned by Drudges and Maestro (The Aeon SF version has Shades of some kind) so that they will prioritize the Haunted target.
