Oh you know Sam is gonna play hero and get caught in the crossfire. It’s gonna break Ethan and I’m so here for it.

I am thinking maybe this is how we discover whether Ethan still have his powers, when he puts himself in harm’s way to protect Sam.

Annnnd cut !

I think you broke the all-time record of 35 comics without a comment “and it is how we discover Ethan still has his power” !

Congratulations !

I wouldn’t put it past Tim to have originally planned to eventually have Ethan find out he never lost his powers, but due to everyone guessing about when it’s gonna happen, Tim decided, “Fuck it! He lost them and he’s never getting his powers back!”

Heh heh, we’ve been saying that for every upcoming potential conflict.

The thing is, eventually they are right and can say “I told you so!” That shows persistence eventually is rewarded.

However, a few of us could have been saying “I told you so” for all the comics where it still hasn’t happened. That is a whole lot more “I told you so”, but no one notices important things where things do not change.

Ps. Though his arc with Nicole seems to be at an end and his powers returning would be reasonable story wise, I say he’s still going to continue his deathless run.

Sam getting hurt, or Sam attracting the Troll’s attention and becoming his latest fixation, “Lameboy?”

Although I suppose his trollification gives him a personal grudge with A+D.

Would be nice to see the city’s superhero legions show up as thanks for taking all the heat off them. Although maybe they’re all mad as Troll massively escalated to arson and attempted murder (and one manslaughter/felony murder, the unseen and accidentally exploded “PC games,” unless that was another trolling) once they became involved.

Relax. You need to be a specific kind of author to kill a wholesome teenager character, and so far I don’t see Tim as one of them

A mothers love conquers anything! Someone bonk Ethan for mocking him for it.

It is a strange thing in society where we mock the openly loving bond between parents and son.

‘Mooom’ forgot to mention the airtag & bug she slipped into a hidden pocket on his costume so she can sit in the minivan just around the corner monitoring the situation intently, and sweep in for the rescue with absolute momrage at a moments notice if necessary.

No evil doer is safe. Bits will be left, Maybe.
After a fully armed and operational mom rage there may only be ashes.

he does, from what I can remember he can “freeze” objects and people in place by touching them and unfreeze them by touching them again, with a big caveat : he gets hit by their kinetic force at the moment he freezes them, meaning if he stop a huge object thrown at him, he will STILL get hurt. Anything moving fast enough to do some real damage still represents a danger to him. But he has huge potential as a support

Hmm….maybe his mom will be not far behind and jump in when he’s in danger and reveals that she also has some kind of power?

Would be a interesting twist.

What can possibly go wrong.

Well, everything. And I second the thought that we´ll know at the end of that arc if Ethan is still powered or just an armored meat bag.

His mom is disgustingly wholesome…

But with such an intro, I expect that none of the promises will be upheld… 🙁
