10 Unanswered Questions From Resident Evil 7
6. Does Ethan Keep His Regenerative Powers?
There's little doubt that Ethan is infected with the same virus as the Bakers, considering the supernatural visions he sees and the fact that, after Jack chops his leg off with a shovel early in the game (an optional sequence, mind), the player is hilariously able to re-attach it.
We also know that the virus is in effect destroyed when Eveline is killed, and though everyone still living is cured, does Ethan still retain any of his regenerative powers?
The Likely Answer: Lucas is the key here. Files heavily suggest that he was cured of his infection by Umbrella prior to the game's events, and his toying with the player is simply a result of him being a psychopath since childhood.
However, during the iconic dinner scene, we see one of Lucas' hands sliced off by Jack and later regenerate, implying that these abilities remain even when the infection has been cured.
It's therefore safe to assume that Ethan has escaped the Baker mansion with his abilities, though of course, it remains to be seen what happens to him next, and if he'll return as Resident Evil 8's protagonist.
