Spy x Family surprised fans earlier this week with a big revelation: Donovan Desmond is also a telepath, just like Anya. Although fans had guessed this might be true, it was still a shocking twist. One small detail about Donovan’s appearance, however, hinted at this power all along.
In Chapter 110 of Spy x Family, Melinda talks about how Donovan changed a few years ago when Damian was born. She believes that an alien replaced her husband and that the alien can read minds.
However, the stitches on Donovan’s head hint that his powers might have come from a surgical procedure or experiment, with the latest chapter making the connection clear.
Donovan’s Scars Reveal His Powers
If you’ve noticed Donovan’s scars, you might have missed the small stitches on both of his temples. These marks have been visible since Chapter 37 when he first met Loid. Until now, fans didn’t have proof that Donovan could read minds, or that the stitches were connected to his powers.
In Chapter 110, there’s a subtle detail that ties these two things together. When Melinda talks about Donovan changing, the panel showing him doesn’t show the stitches on his head. But when she mentions the alien replacing him, the stitches are visible.
This suggests that Donovan’s telepathic powers might be linked to a change in his behavior, caused by a procedure that gave him the ability to read minds.
Having the power to hear people’s thoughts would make Donovan more distant and careful about who he trusts. It also makes sense that his personality might have changed after the procedure that gave him these abilities.
Anya and Donovan’s Powers Could Be Connected
This new twist raises more questions about Anya’s origins and how she got her powers. It’s possible that both Anya and Donovan’s telepathy is linked to Project Apple, a mystery the series has yet to fully explain. Donovan’s connection to the project could be key to unlocking the truth about Anya’s abilities.
Spy x Family continues to be full of surprises, and fans are eager to see what other secrets will be revealed.
