You just posted the exact thoughts I had as I read this page. Word for word. The moment it became obvious this altercation would happen (with him claiming to be home), I was hoping the secret would come out rather than having a breakup over the lies and distrust. This is, by far, the more interesting and emotional outcome, and it also allows the potential that both parties will walk away in good standing with one another even if their romantic relationship ends. It’s VERY unlikely they will stay a couple permanently, given what we know from the original CAD’s… Read more »
Personally, I welcome an Ethan relationship that isn’t with Lilah. Another Ethan in another universe had a relationship with that universe’s Lilah. That doesn’t mean that this universe’s Ethan and Lilah have to wind up together. Ethan x Lilah seems sort of like the easy way out, now. Maybe kinda boring, like “of course he winds up with her”. I feel like we know how that story goes. Counterpoint: Tim’s doing a good job of writing a new universe that doesn’t just repeat the details we know from the original CAD universe. There are new details, nuances, and changes that… Read more »
It’s not over yet. She could choose to believe he’s lying to cover up something. He’d have to ghost himself to prove otherwise. Lucas could prove he has powers simply enough, but she’d still be taking Lucas’ word for it when he says Ethan does. And that route involves outing Lucas as well… something he may not be on board with.
You know, he doesn’t have to kill himself to prove it. Just show some of his gadgets or his costume and that’ll be enough. He can explain his power rather than go through killing himself after that.
Or after all that she says, “you mean I’m finally in a relationship when I feel like I could just kill him I actually can and he will come back? Oh I am so in!”
I feel like there is 100% a fan made website of all super hero’s in the cities with pictures, accomplishments, powers, and power ranking. Pull up his page and BOOM.

Not gonna lie, the Fortnite joke literally made my morning. If I’d been drinking coffee at the time, I would have sprayed it for sure.
The way she’s talking makes it almost sound like she ALREADY had a super hero boyfriend, perhaps he was a jerk and that also influenced her opinion of superheroes; though perhaps she would of mentioned such when the whole super hero thing came up originally for them. Or maybe if she had a previous boyfriend who was a super hero, maybe he was too cocky and got killed, and she didn’t want to talk about the dead maybe, though less likely. I wonder how he’ll show her he’s telling the truth, and I wonder if she’ll believe him until he… Read more »
Somebody said it once before but what if she is sister of the Troll character, that Ethan accidentally dropped?
Would be interesting twist but I hope it doesn’t go there.
That’s an interesting theory, but I don’t think it’s likely. The Troll was ready to blow up 3-4 civilians, not exactly a proud moment for the family I’m sure: https://cad-comic.com/comic/analog-and-d-pad-03-13/
Good point but in the same way we could theorize that she has an dark side or that Troll was her ex boyfriend. Love towards any loved ones can be blind.
Wouldn’t have to be a superhero boyfriend, a former boyfriend(no powers) that cheated on her would also make, well anyone a little wary about their partner keeping big secrets from them.
As for her believing him I don’t think it would take much, like someone else said just showing off his costume/gear would probably be enough. Worse case he can show her but chances are she would much rather take him at his word than watch him kill himself.
Interresting point… but I stopped reading after you typed “would of” instead of “would have”. Now, given that this is a widely-read comic, one could assume that English may not be your native language (as it isn’t mine either). However, I opt to go with the fact that it’s just lazy grammar… something this dude can not abide. Oh no, indeed not. Therefor, any point you may have made – and a good point it may well have been – is moot, null and void and comoletely wasted on the individual that is myself. I hope you are proud of… Read more »
Yeah…I was hoping he would just let her go, all the way up to the point I scrolled to the panel where he did confide in her. I know a lot of people wanted him to do so, but I really hoped he didn’t. (Admittedly, my hope would probably have made for a less dramatic/interesting plot…so, oh well.)
You can dislike ultimatums all you want, but they are an unavoidable part of any relationship. Even when the “or else” is left unstated… it’s still there. And frankly, part of building healthy relationships is setting boundaries… which are, in fact, ultimatums. Refusing to put someone in a position where they have to choose is a good way to get taken advantage of.
Ethan already said he couldn’t tell her and was asking for trust, that was his answer. Ultimatums are selfish because they are about you and want you want from another. They are about forcing another person to bend through emotional manipulation. If she had said “I can’t be someone who isn’t completely honest with me, goodbye Ethan” and actually left, then the choice would have been his to change his own mind. There wouldn’t have been any manipulation in that. People use these tactics all the time to get other people to do what they want, there is nothing healthy… Read more »

Taking all bets,
Does her dislike of superheroes win over and she walks out anyway.
Does she accuse him of lying to her and refuse to believe him.
Does she refuse to believe him but burst out laughing thinking it’s a joke and decide to wait awhile longer until he’s ready to tell her.
Will she reveal herself to be a super villain and attack
Or will they talk things out like two calm rational human beings
@Tumbleweed that’s probably a pretty good guess, based on what we know of her.
In any case, I did not see this coming, Ethan telling anybody. I was sure it would be over long before this ever happened. Good job keeping us all guessing Tim!
My thought is she is very angry right now and with all the weird things Ethan generally says. It will sound like another lie to her. And she will lash out or leave crying. Till he actually proves it to her.

So now Ethan has all the relationship points. The ball is on her court now.
Seriously? Ethan has all the relationship points? She had to be ready to leave him before he was finally willing to tell her the truth. This is Ethan finally realizing what it takes to be part of a grown-up relationship.
He didn’t tell her what he was up to on one night. Not ideal, sure, but she’s also demanding a lot out of him here. He told her he’s not ready to talk about it yet, and to give him some trust, but she isn’t willing to give him any room at all? Frankly I think she’s the one in the wrong here by issuing such a strong ultimatum based on the one incident.
It’s not “not knowing what he was up to one night.” It’s knowing that he lied. Being lied to by someone important to you is a big deal. She made it clear that honesty was important. He made it clear that it was easier for him to lie than tell the truth. This relationship is not nearly old enough to withstand such a fundamental misalignment. It really, truly, doesn’t matter what the lie was hiding. Some people accept lies as a given. Some of us don’t.
Yes, technically he lied, once. That’s a reason to be upset, a reason to be more upset if it happens again. But honestly, no one is EVER 100% honest and for good reason. We all have secrets, some big, some small, some we shouldn’t keep, some we should. She gave him an ultimatum over ONE incident where he didn’t tell her the truth about where he was. He asked for a little leeway, she gave him none. IMO, that’s unreasonable on her part. He has been open with her about his feelings, he has made a genuine effort to participate… Read more »

No, He has already told her Lucas is as of the last panel of this update. It’s gonna be a no brainer which super Ethan is… and that necessarily outs Lucas as well.

So the far right is Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Indy and Dad on the motorbike escaping the nazi castle. I am tempted to suggest the left hand one is from Raiders? Indy running towards the plane at the start? Which would make the middle (blocked) from Temple of Doom? Nice set anyway.
I’m glad he did. It’s a choice that makes sense from most angles. The best objection to him telling her that I can think of is that he also risks outing Lucas by telling her.
The best objection to telling her remains the exact reasons for having secret identities to begin with. There’s nothing stopping her from outing him in sheer pettiness. And please don’t say she’s not like that. Everyone is like that. They just don’t show it till they decide you have done something that justifies it.

For your first two points, I can’t say. But as for your third, seeing Zeke return, I think we can bank on it. Zeke was not defeated, has a piece of Ethan’s gear (possibly with blood on it), and has certainly not completed his mission. He is biding his time, developing a much more sinister plan to be 100% ready for A&D-Pad. He will be back.
Great payoff! I was hoping it would come down to something like this for Ethan, because even though he was obviously lying and pissing her off, it’s so easy to see that the truth is _terrifying_ for him to say because of what she said previously. So whatever happens next, I’m glad to see Ethan making this step.

They try to talk things out.
She says she worries he’ll get hurt, he explains how he can’t die.
That’s enough for awhile but ultimately it doesn’t work out because she’s morally opposed to superheros in the first place. They wind up splitting.
She doesn’t believe him and he needs to prove it, which he does in a dramatic fashion.
Pretty sure we can rule the last one out as that requires two rational people and Ethan hardly fits that.
I think she’ll refuse to believe him, and still try to leave, forcing Ethan to prove it. She’ll go into shock and want some time apart to sort it out.
My thought is she is very angry right now and with all the weird things Ethan generally says. It will sound like another lie to her. And she will lash out or leave crying. Till he actually proves it to her.
