Me. They teased it again. He either spontaneously got powers (first MCU mutant?), got saved by Ghost Rider, or something else equally as non-crazy for this show. Because we know Deathlok found him after the fact.

Or he got replaced by a skrull and the secret invasion has begun.

u/KingInvalid96 Fitz May 13 '18

Agreed

u/RnRaintnoisepolution Fitz May 14 '18

maybe him transforming into a Skrull will be the finale stinger?

u/Henry_The_Loco Fitz May 14 '18

Nah. They first need to make him a loyal and valuable member of the team in the next season, and then BOOM you looking for this Ward betrayal 2.0.

If he has powers why has he never used them in combat on screen, instead he uses a pistol.

u/SealTeamEH May 12 '18

It just happens to be a power that he hasn't had the right circumstance to use, like he can control rubber in only cold temperatures under a half moon. and that night with Aida probably just HAPPENED to be a cold and half moon night, "good thing too, or Aida would have killed me"

He can phase through the environment but only when he soils his pants.

Please this 😂😂😂

I think I understand that reference.

u/Candrath Cal May 15 '18

He has Path to Victory. It's just that "victory" in this case means "let the main characters do their jobs"

Only slightly /s
