==[[Cockroach]]==
{| class ="wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|In ''[[Godsend]]'', the roach that crawls in Sylar's holding cell has some importance. || Sylar focuses on it. (''[[Godsend]]'') ||
|-
|Sylar will use [[Intuitive aptitude|his power]] on the cockroach in [[Sylar's cell|his cell]] in order to become resistant to [[radiation]]. || [[Mohinder]] mentions cockroaches are resistant to radiation. (''[[Genesis]]'')<br>Sylar focuses on the cockroach. (''[[Godsend]]'') ||
|-
|[[Sylar]] acquired the [[cockroach]]'s abilities of suspended animation. || Sylar focuses on the cockroach. (''[[Godsend]]'') ||
{{plus}}[[Sylar]] might simply be using his known ability of [[intuitive aptitude]] in a new way. He knows how things work, and not just [[evolved humans]]. He knows how clocks work. Sylar can figure out how insects, animals, even plantlife work. That may explain how he feigned death. <br>
{{plus}}[[Cockroach]]es can slow their heart rate down so that they appear dead, and even hold their breath for almost an hour at a time.
|-
|The cockroach is Sylar's god since it represents evolutionary perfection. || Mohinder called the humble cockroach the "Pinnacle of evolution". (''[[Genesis]]'') ||
|-
|The significance in the cockroach is that it is superior to humans.||[[Mohinder]] teaches that man is not the pinnacle of so-called [[evolution]]; that honor belongs to the lowly cockroach. (''[[Genesis]]'')||{{plus}}Mohinder also taught that the cockroach is capable of living for months without food, can remain alive headless for weeks at a time, is resistant to radiation. Mohinder jokes that if [[Faith and religion|God]] has indeed created Himself in His own image, then He is a cockroach. (''[[Genesis]]'')<br>{{plus}}Later on, Mohinder arrives at his [[Chandra's apartment|father's apartment]], and is disgusted when he steps on a cockroach that he sees on the floor. Mohinder is jealous and angry that these pests have infested the apartment, roaming about however they wish. (''[[Genesis]]'')<br>{{plus}}[[Jumpsuit|The exterminator]] tells Mohinder that cockroaches have infested the floorboards of his apartment. After they scuffle, Mohinder says that cockroaches are the least of his problems. Although Mohinder sees the cockroaches as the least of his problems, they have already infest the dwellings of mere humans. (''[[Genesis]]'')<br>{{plus}}In [[Sylar's cell]], [[Sylar]] watches a cockroach roam the floor of his cell. While Sylar is weakened and defeated, the small bug crawls freely. (''[[Godsend]]'')<br>{{plus}}Sylar remains on the floor and watches the cockroach walking next to his head. The creature still roams, superior to the weakened Sylar. (''[[The Fix]]'')<br>{{plus}}[[Dale]] notes that when she first realized her [[powers]], a cockroach crawling across her neighbor's floor [[Enhanced hearing|sounded]] like a marching band parading through her house. The lowly cockroach is so small, but can be heard by Dale. It is a monster that tortures her just by crawling across the floor. (''[[Unexpected]]'')<br>{{plus}}[[Matt]] is unconscious and crippled in his cell, he is inferior to the cockroach that crawls across the floor with great ease. (''[[.07%]]'')
|-
|The cockroach represents weakness and insignificance. || None || {{note}} This would make sense considering Sylar's obsession with power and significance. At the time the cockroach appeared, he was stripped of his power, helpless, and weak.
{{plus}} Matt Parkman also sees a cockroach while trapped in [[Matt's cell|his cell]] at [[Primatech]], at a time he clearly is feeling weak

== [[List of articles related to The Company|The Company]] ==

{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|The Company is a clandestine espionage organization created after a single or series of terrible incidents involving one or more specially powered. Because of this, they seek out powered agents who they believe are not too dangerous or out of control, especially those they can maneuver into a place where they feel accepted and indebted to the organization. To this end they take all measures to follow and monitor those who may be special. They are also likely trying to develop a program to create these gifts. || The Company employs several agents with [[powers]]: [[The Haitian]] (''[[One Giant Leap]]''), [[Eden McCain]] (''[[Better Halves]]''), [[Hana Gitelman]] (''[[Wireless, Part 2]]''), and [[Isaac Mendez]]. (''[[Distractions]]'') The Company is conducting research into [[evolved humans]] by kidnapping and evaluating subjects. (''[[Collision]]'', ''[[Nothing to Hide]]'') ||
{{plus}}The Company uses [[The needle|a pneumatic needle]] to inject a tracking isotope into people with powers leaving [[the mark|a mark]] on the neck (''[[Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 2|How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?]]'').
<br>{{plus}}[[Mr. Bennet's boss]] insists on keeping [[Sylar]] alive to be studied (''[[Episode:The Fix|The Fix]]'')
<br>{{plus}}With the apparent resources available to [[The Company]] and the knowledge of many of the people who have abilities (sometimes even before the people themselves know about their abilities), they could most likely kill most of them before they developed abilities or reasonable control over them.
|-
|The Company is the American branch of an international secret organization that exists for this purpose. [[Yamagato]] Industries is simply the Japanese branch. || None. ||
{{plus}}This could explain [[Yamagato]] Industries having a biotech division, if Yamagato were also a part of this group. <br>
{{plus}}Biotechnology is a booming industry; many large multinationals have some presence in the field.
|-
| [[The Company]] is a secret agency of the US government. || A file related to The Company is found in [[the Pentagon]], the headquarters of the US military. (''[[Graphic Novel:War Buddies, Part 1]]'') ||
{{minus}}It seem unlikely any of the major powers would be unaware of such individuals particularly if the phenomenon has been going on since at least the 1970s. The resources available to [[Mr. Bennet]] seem to beyond the capabilities of anything but government.
<br>{{plus}}He seemed to have had prior warning of the police raid. He is interested in tracking [[evolved humans]], not killing or capturing them. Sylar is kept alive, possibly because his ability to harvest those of others means he could be an effective weapon in a war involving evolved humans. In World War 2, Nazi Germany engaged in scientific programs to produce superior humans. Many of these scientist were taken to USA or USSR to continue their research, and just as German rocket science lead to man landing on the moon, these evolved humans could represent the fruition of this research.
<br>{{minus}}In an interview, [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] stated that the Company is not affiliated with any government.
|-
| [[The Company]] is an agency of the UN || None. ||
{{plus}}[[Mr. Bennet]] operates without regard to national borders. For example, Eden's body is found in Canada, he recruits Hana in Israel, and he searches [[Chandra's apartment]] in India. Most intelligence agencies operate extra-nationally.
<br>{{minus}}In an interview, [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] stated that the Company is not affiliated with any government.
|-
| [[The Company]] is the yet another facet of the Linderman group || None. ||
{{plus}}Linderman appears to be highly aware of the existence of [[evolved humans]].
<br>{{minus}}Alternately, Linderman's group and the Company may be competing groups.
<br>{{plus}}In [[.07%25]], Matt Parkman reveals that Linderman is the head of The Company.
|-
|[[The Company]] is some manner of medical organization or corporation, akin to the Center for Disease Control.|| Examples of this are Bennet's unwillingness to shoot an escaping [[Nathan]] despite having a [[The Company's gun|gun]] drawn on him (''[[Hiros]]''), Bennet's superiors ordering him to study Sylar despite his suggestion that Sylar is too dangerous to live (''[[Fallout]]''), and [[Hana]]'s mission to secure information on a biological weapon. (''[[Wireless, Part 3]]'') ||
{{plus}}Mr. Bennet and company seem to have been more interested in studying [[evolved humans]] and preventing medical disasters than anything else.
|-
| [[The Company]] is a part of the [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Hanso_Foundation Hanso Foundation] and is involved in the [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/DHARMA_Initiative DHARMA Initiative]. || None. ||{{plus}}The Hanso corporation (from ''Lost'') has a vested interest in improving human genetics. <br>{{minus}}This is highly unlikely as ''Lost'' and ''Heroes'' are separate series on competing networks.
|-
| [[The Company]]'s mission is to protect the human race from evolved humans with special abilities. [[The Company]] firmly believes that any means they use to achieve this mission are justified. They do this through "bag and tag" operations where people with special abilities are captured and tagged so that they can always be located. When captured the powers of the "special" are evaluated and a threat assessment is made. Specials whose powers are judged to be a threat are not released. The Company then studies the powers of these evolved humans to determine how their powers work. This final mission explains why Sylar was so important to The Company and why he was not killed in spite of the dangerous nature of his powers.|| [[Mr. Bennet]] and [[Thompson]] discuss the company's mission. (''[[Company Man]]'')||
{{plus}}There were references to vivisection in [[Company Man]]. Vivisection is basically dissecting a living being. This is not standard procedure, but is simply one of the "morally gray area" behaviors that must be done to accomplish their mission. The end justifies the means.
<br>{{plus}}[[Mr. Bennet]]'s said that Ted emitted only low levels of radiation when his powers were assessed and that he was judged to be harmless and released. (''[[Company Man]]'')
|-
|The [[Symbol]] marks evolved humans that work for The Company. Since this symbol is of Japanese origins, this points to a Japanese origin for The Company.||Ando recognized the Symbol as a combination of two Japanese symbols.(''Godsend'')||
|-
| [[The Company]]'s true intent is to take control of human evolution in order to create a hierarchical society, where people are designed to have the skills needed at their work level and where they have just enough natural intelligence to be satisfied with their responsibility in life (whatever that may be). || None. ||{{plus}}When Claude first meets Mr. Bennet, he tells him that it's a "Brave New World." (''[[Company Man]]'') The phrase "Brave New World" is the title of a novel by Aldous Huxley. This novel is a dystopia with a great deal of intriguing potential parallels to the Heroes universe, but one significant potential parallel is the possibility of this mysterious company to have the goal of creating a world like that of the novel. Also, its possible that Claude figured out these were the Company's true intentions, which is why he was no longer comfortable with those motives and decided to hide a powered person.<br>
:{{note}}In the book 'Brave New World' embryos are chemically conditioned (with alcohol and other harmful substances) to have a specific skill set and intelligence level. This creates a hierarchical world in which all true power is held among the few at the top, but the masses do not feel exploited and people are sufficiently happy. With their growing understanding of evolved humans and the genetic code which makes some people special, it's very possible that the Company seeks to create world like this which they can control (and use to become filthy rich with no fear of protest from the general public).
|-
|The Company is actually divided into three parts: The Deveaux Society, Primatech Paper and The Linderman Group. Together these groups form the company and work together towards fulfilling the objectives of whoever is in charge.
||None.||{{note}}Metaphorically speaking, the Deveaux Society would represent the super-ego of this triad, since it is philanthropic and presents a good face to the world. Primatech Paper works as the ego, a balance in the morally gray areas of the mission. And The Linderman Group works as the Id (supported by Linderman's speech in Parasite where he talks about gambling, sex and food), who gets things done in what would possibly be a less than legal way. Together, these groups are able to tackle the same issue from different angles. For example, an emergent super-powered being who is a little darker by nature (such as Jessica) would fit better in Linderman's camp than with the Deveaux society. While someone like Hiro would likely work better with the Deveaux Society than Primatech Paper. They also appear to work against each other, evident by Mrs. Petrelli giving orders that go against Primatech's. It is also likely that the Yamagato Corporation is involved in this somehow, either as the umbrella company, or as an international branch of the Primatech division.
|-
|The Company was either responsible for, or established to contain the release of a virus which is responsible for the mutation.|| None. || {{plus}}If this is the motive of The Company then the fact such people have been hidden from the general public, as a cover up of a past accident, it could also be the reason why so many of the Heroes are interconnected, because they are all related to people who were initial exposed to the contagent.

==[[The Deveaux Society]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| The Society might be a group founded by Simone that acts as connection between the [[evolved humans]] and the rest of the world, or as a therapy group to help them deal with their powers. || None. ||
|-
| The Society is a resistance to [[the Company]], with Mrs. Petrelli and the Haitian as members, and Charles Deveaux as the founder. || None. || {{plus}}The Haitian and Mrs. Petrelli are connected in some way. Mrs. Petrelli knows about people with powers, as someone in the Society would have to. It would serve as a foil to the Company.
|-
|The [[Deveaux Gallery]] is part of the Deveaux Society.||None.||{{plus}}Both have Deveaux in their names.

==[[Evolved humans]]==
{| class ="wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| A group of evolved humans will eventually form a "league of heroes" similar to the Justice League. || None. ||
{{note}}This would be a long-term story arc. <br>
{{minus}}Writers have explicitly stated in [[interviews]] that the characters will continue to lead mostly separated lives, and will not be forming a Justice League.
|-
| The reason so many of the Heroes are interconnected, especially romantically involved, is down to subconscious recognition of the same trait, as such they are attracted to one another, as the first step of speciation. || None. ||
|-
| There will be a female evolved human with catlike powers. || None. ||{{plus}}Two of Tim Sale's paintings show a woman with yellow clothes and catish features.<br>{{minus}}These paintings are previous work done by Tim Sale.

==[[Manatee]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|Manatees allow [[evolved humans]] to use their powers. || None || {{minus}}Claire and Zach never saw the manatees, but went to Kermit.
|-
|}

==[[Mr. Muggles]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| It is significant that Mr. Muggles licked [[Claire]]'s blood after her run-in with the garbage disposal. || None. || {{minus}}It has been stated and confirmed that the power is in the brain, not the blood.
{{minus}}As Mohinder has postulated, the power is in the DNA. Drinking the blood or eating the brain of an evolved human will not give anyone powers of that evolved human.
|-
| Mr. Muggles is [[Candace]] as a spy for [[the company]] to watch in case Claire's powers come up. ||None.|| {{plus}} The Company always knows what's happening in the Bennet household.
|-
| Mr. Muggles is plotting to take over the world, and his plan may involve [[waffles]]. || None ||{{note}}Some say [[Gumbyspotting|Gumby]] could be part of the plan.
:{{minus}}Some say Gumby is not part of the plan.<br>
{{plus}} The plan might also involve [[manatees]].
|}

==[[Peter's scar]]==
{| class="wikitable"
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|-
| [[Peter]] will get the scar before he meets [[Hiro]] face-to-face. || [[Future Hiro]] says he looks "different" without the scar. (''[[Collision]]'') || {{minus}}This doesn't necessarily mean Future Hiro had never seen Peter without the scar. After five years of seeing Peter with the scar, it may just be disconcerting to see him five years younger without the scar.
|-
| [[Sylar]] will get jealous of [[Peter]]'s power and will try to remove his brain, but the attempt will be stopped by the other characters, leaving Peter with a horizontal scar along his forehead. || When future Hiro meets Peter, his eyes travel upward. (''[[Collision]]'') Most of [[Sylar's victims]] have had their skulls cut open by an incision on their forehead so Sylar could remove their [[brain]]s. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'', ''[[Seven Minutes to Midnight]]'', ''[[Homecoming]]'') || {{plus}}It can be assumed that a man would look very different with a scar along the entire length of his forehead, and Sylar has met Peter and may have an intuitive understanding of his power.
|-
| Either [[Claire]] will die, or [[Peter]] will never see her again after he gets his scar.|| None. ||
{{minus}} While wounds healed by Claire's power leave no scars, there's no reason to assume that a scar from a wound Peter healed normally would disappear if he encountered her later. <br>
{{minus}}Peter is able to heal outside [[Claire]]'s presence. (''[[Distractions]]'')

{{minus}}In the timeline in which [[Claire]] was saved but the [[explosion]] still occurred, [[Future Peter|Peter]] still had the scar, despite having met Claire and learned her power.
|-
| [[Peter]] will get the scar from [[the explosion|exploding]]. || None. ||
|-
| [[Peter]] will no longer get the scar. || None. ||
{{plus}}[[Future Hiro]] changed the future by going back and telling Peter about saving Claire which only changed the future of that timeline and not his, creating an alternate dimension, kind of like Future Trunks in DBZ.
{{plus}}It's possible that Peter received the scar in the timeline in which Claire was not saved, and will not receive the scar in this timeline since damage healed with Claire's power seems to leave no scar.
:{{note}}This would create a causality [[paradox]] for [[Future Hiro]]: he'd have no reason to return to the past to warn [[Peter]].
{{note}}Peter got the scar in a version of the future where he could not regenerate, in an "ideal" future (without the Sylar problem) Peter would have no scar, but in ''Five Years Gone'', Hiro visited a mixture of different possible futures, where Claire is still alive (for a while) and Peter still has he scar.<br />{{minus}}Present-day [[Hiro]] believes he cannot change the past because he was unable to save Charlie from her death. If he is correct, then Future Hiro may have come from a future in which Claire was already saved. Alternately, because Hiro knows that his past self returned, and knows what he told Peter, he may go back in time at some point in the future to ensure that the timeline is not compromised. This would not involve a paradox, but would be an example of an [[wikipedia:Ontological_paradox|Ontological Paradox]]; but as such a paradox involves no inherent contradiction, it would still result in a consistent timeline.
:{{minus}}In [[Dark Future|the future]], [[Future Peter]] has a scar, despite [[Future Hiro]] traveling back in time and [[Peter]] saving [[Claire]].
|- Hiro will try to kill Peter to stop him from exploding, giving him the scar. || None. || Hiro's sword may be able to leave a lasting mark on Peter.
|-
| [[Peter]] will get the scar from [[Hiro]]. || None ||{{plus}} [[Peter]] will meet [[Candace]], where he gets her power. For some reason, he takes the form of [[Sylar]]. [[Hiro]] sees [[Peter]], and, thinking it's [[Sylar]], slices [[Peter]] across the face. Because it is a special [[sword]], [[Claire]]'s power can't fully heal [[Peter]].<br> {{minus}}[[Future Hiro]] tells present-day Hiro that he tried to kill Sylar, but the wound regenerated.
|-
| [[Peter]] will get the scar in the presence of the Haitian. || None. ||The Haitian can suppress at least some powers, so if Peter was wounded in his presence and the scar formed, cell regeneration would not heal an existing scar.
|-
| [[Peter]]'s scar is the mirror image of a scar [[Linderman]] has. || None. || {{plus}}Linderman has a faint scar that is most visible when pausing episodes, most notably ''[[.07%]]''. <br />{{note}} The scar mirror images could be irrelevant, as the scar could be the [[Malcolm McDowell]]'s and not the character's.

==[[Primatech Paper Co.]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|Primatech has been pointed out to also be the word "Primate" and the letters "CH", which some have speculated that may represent 'chromosome" as several powered characters are described as having chromosomal abnormalities indirectly. It could also represent the fusion of the two words "Primate and "Tech". || None. || {{plus}}The name "Primatech" could be split into "Primate" and "Tech" or "CH".
:{{minus}}Splitting the name makes "Prima" and "Tech" or "Primate" and "CH", not "Primate" '''and''' "Tech".
{{plus}}Business card and on the [http://www.PrimatechPaper.com Primatech Paper Co. Website] they say that they were founded in 1962, the year Crick, Watson, and Wilkins won the [[wikipedia:Nobel_prize#Prize_categories|Nobel Prize]] in [[wikipedia:Nobel_Prize_in_Physiology_or_Medicine|Physiology or Medicine]] "for their discoveries concerning the molecular structure of nucleic acids and its significance for information transfer in living material" (i.e. DNA). This could be an inside joke or part of their origin.
|-
|[[Primatech Paper Co.]] is owned by or does business with Dunder Mifflin (The Office). || None. || {{plus}}The show has already done indirect cross overs with Las Vegas and Friday Night Lights, both NBC shows. Paper was used by Primatech in many episodes. It is highly possible that they got their paper from Dunder Mifflin.

! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| The [[:Image:AWILogo.JPG|Primatech logo with the Symbol superimposed]] is the logo for [[The Company]] || None. ||
{{plus}}Clicking the image gives access to the secret area of the website. The rungs on the Symbol are reversed, possibly a reference to the Company's manipulation of [[evolved humans]]. <br>
{{minus}}It's unlikely a logo for the whole organization, since [[Primatech Paper Co.]] is just one facility.

==[[Sylar's victims]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Sylar may need to physically see the functioning brain (or believe he does) in order to give himself that power. || He is removing and taking brains, not merely observing their owners. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'', ''[[Seven Minutes to Midnight]]'', ''[[Homecoming]]'') || {{plus}}He was unable to consume Eden's power, as she destroyed her brain by [[Suicide|shooting herself]]. <br />{{plus}}Sylar has seen enough brains by now that he knows exactly where to look in the brain for the use of the DNA mutation to figure out how the evolved human's powers function.<br />{{plus}} Sylar's [[intuitive aptitude]] would allow him to analyze how a power works very quickly
|-
|}

==[[The Symbol]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| The symbol is meant to resemble RNA, which is where the abnormality lies...or just to indicate something to do with the abnormalities || None. ||
{{plus}}[[The Symbol]] directly resembles RNA, but missing a rung....which might be the actual genetic abnormality.

{{plus}}Sylar was noted to be messing with his DNA and probably RNA as well. RNA is also in the brain, which would make sense to this theory.

{{plus}}Production staff refer to the symbol as the "single helix".
|-
| The Symbol is the logo for Yamagato Corporation's Genetic Research Division. || None. ||
{{note}}[[Kimiko Nakamura]] does mention that [[Yamagato]] has a biotech division. (''[[Distractions]]'')<br>{{minus}}However, since both [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]] work for [[Yamagato]], they would probably have recognized the symbol as a corporate logo, and not merely as stylized Japanese characters.
|-
|The different sightings of the symbol in various episodes were left behind by [[Hiro]]. || None. || {{plus}}After realizing the significance of the symbol and its relation to his ancient Japanese hero (''[[Godsend]]''), [[Hiro]] feels his calling to make this legend known to the world. Possibly after mastering his powers, he then travels back in time to the locations of several key events and leaves behind the symbol to promote Japanese culture to the Western world. His time-stopping skills would be crucial in this task, as he would have to tattoo [[Jessica]] and draw on [[Claire]]'s textbook while avoiding detection. <br>{{minus}} That doesn't explain how the tattoo shows up on [[Jessica]] but not [[Niki]]. <br>{{plus}}The [[Haitian]] could also have been in cahoots with [[Hiro]] on this mission; [[Hiro]] would leave his mark while he erased the memories of the victims of this prank, hence they would have no memory of NOT having the symbol existing in their lives.
|-
|The Symbol marks [[evolved humans]] that work for [[the Company]]. || The Haitian wore the symbol on a necklace and works for the Company. (''[[Collision]]'')||{{plus}}Jessica has it on her back because she is an assassin for the Company ([[Linderman]] being in a management position in this organization). <br>{{note}}The symbol is on the cover of the ''[[9th Wonders!]]'' comic book. The Company could be the publisher of this magazine. <br>{{note}}If this is true the Japanese origins of this symbol suggests that the Company also originated in Japan.
|-
|The Symbol reveals, to the careful observer, that the head of the [[Company]] is actually Alfred Hitchcock.||None.||{{plus}}<center><gallery>Image:HitchIsHeroes.jpg</gallery></center>
|-
|The Symbol has multiple meanings.
|None.
|{{plus}}The production staff and Tim Kring himself have said that the symbol represents a helix.<br>{{plus}}[[Ando]] noted that the symbol is a combination of two Japanese characters. (''[[Godsend]]'')
|-
| The Symbol can block or enhance a persons power.||None.||{{plus}}The Haitian wears the Symbol constantly around his neck and Heroes on occassion cannot use their power in his presence.<br>{{minus}}This is more than likely [[mental manipulation]].<br>{{plus}}Jessica, although she was seemingly normal, in joining with her living sister Niki, she displays a mark which gives her power which she later covers to camouflage her identity.<br>{{plus}}Hiro has the Symbol on Kensei's sword, which he claims to help him control his power.<br>{{minus}}This is probably a mental thing. Hiro lost his confidence and optimism after Charlie's death. The sword merely made him feel better about himself and his mind was set.

==[[Uluru]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Uluru is actually a depiction of [[Sylar]] or a symbol thereof. || None. || {{plus}}His being invincible would have to do with the rapid [[regeneration]] ability he was planning on taking from [[Claire]]. It could also depict how his hunger for power will spiral to massive proportions.
|-
| Uluru can bend space and time like [[Hiro]]. || None. ||
|-
| Uluru will be the thing that the characters are actually supposed to face...after it kills [[Sylar]]. || None. || {{minus}}There is really no other evidence that Uluru will become important aside from [[Isaac]] seeing Uluru and [[Hiro]] having him as a background on his computer screen. <br>{{plus}} Isaac also painted Uluru, and Uluru appeared on the cover of "9th Wonders" a comic produced by Isaac Mendez. <br>{{note}}The legend of Uluru also has a creation myth attached to it: the Dingo, a supernaturally enhanced creature.
|-
| Uluru could be Jessica. || None. || {{plus}}She's already out of control and this can be a development of that. Or this could be her form when completely separated from Niki. She has said that she's in control now and she seems to think she's unstoppable. She might end up being the true antagonist.
|-
| Uluru could be Peter. || None. || {{plus}}Peter is one of only three characters powerful enough to be him (Sylar and Niki/Jessica are the other two). <br>{{plus}}All the powers he's able to mimic, especially including Claire's regeneration, could easily justify him referring to himself as "invincible", just like Uluru. <br>{{plus}}His power comes from his depth of emotion, which is not always controllable or predictable. It could be that after being seriously hurt or betrayed by people he cares about, or from losing them, that he could utterly lose control of his emotions, turning him into a raging Uluru. <br>{{plus}}In ''[[Unexpected]]'' when Peter was fighting [[Isaac]], as Peter became enraged, his voice became deep and distorted.<br>{{plus}}"Uluru" is the aboriginal name for Ayer's Rock in Australia. According to these native tribes, this monolith was central during the events of "Dreamtime". According to Aboriginal legend regarding the Dreamtime: "every meaningful activity, event, or life process that occurs at a particular place leaves behind a vibrational residue in the earth ... Everything in the natural world is a symbolic footprint of the metaphysical beings whose actions created our world. ... The Aborigines called this potency the "Dreaming" of a place, and this Dreaming constitutes the sacredness of the earth. Only in extraordinary states of consciousness can one be aware of, or attuned to, the inner dreaming of the Earth" (http://www.crystalinks.com/dreamtime.html). The concept of Dreamtime is, of course, subtle and complex, and there are varying interpretations of it. However, this understanding coincides perfectly with Peter's empathic connection to other people through power mimicry as well as through his apparently psychic dreams (knowing details about his brother's accident as it was happening, sharing a dream with Charles Deveaux right before he died, the vision of himself exploding, and perhaps even the dream he had of his brother turning into Sylar).
<br>{{plus}}Most important, however, is his name. His first name and last name, Peter Petrelli, both come from the Latin term 'petra' meaning "rock."
:{{note}}There may be religious references of note. The "rock" on which Jesus supposedly wished his church to be built was a man whose name changed from Simon to Peter. That we had a Simone in a relationship with Peter (until her death, of course) is quite the parallel.

| Uluru will be a villain in a future season. || None. || {{plus}}Uluru has appeared as a formidable rock monster on the cover of ''[[9th Wonders!]]'', Issue #13. He also appeared in a dream/hallucination in which he menacingly towered over [[Isaac]].
|-
| Uluru is [[Mr. Petrelli|Peter and Nathan's father]]. || None. || {{plus}}[[Angela Petrelli]] told [[Peter]] that his father thought he was invincible. Peter had a [[Peter's visions|vision]] when [[Nathan]] had an [[Nathan's accident|accident]] and when [[Charles Deveaux]] died, but he did not feel anything when his dad died, so he may be alive.
|-

| Uluru is a symbol of Isaac's [[heroin|drug]] addiction || All representations of Uluru have originated from Isaac's drawings ([[9th Wonders!]])||
|-
| Peter will explode at the end of this season and the other heroes will think he is lost forever. But Peter will regenerate his subatomic particles, which will combine with the subatomic pavement and building materials that would be at the blast site, and thus become Uluru. || None. || {{plus}}In Isaac's vision, Uluru says, "Isaac! What have you done?!" which was echoed in "Unexpected" by Peter after Isaac had shot Simone.
|-
| Uluru is the tied to the show ''LOST''. || None. || {{plus}}[http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Isaac_of_Uluru Isaac of Uluru] is a character in the show. <br>{{minus}} Uluru is the name of a sub-mountain, and indigenous religous location, in Australia where Isaac of Uluru (from LOST) lived. Since Australia exists in both shows, Isaac of Uluru and Uluru the Unstopable are not nessesarily connected. <br>{{minus}} LOST is on ABC, while Heroes is on NBC, which are competeing networks- it is unlikely that they will tie anything together with those two shows. <br>{{plus}}[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeph_Loeb Jeph Loeb] was a writer and supervising producer for Lost and is now co-executive producer and a writer for Heroes. Cross-references between the shows may be evidence of his influence. This fact is referenced in the commentary for Episode 20 found on [http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/commentary.shtml NBC.com]

|-
|Waffles augment evolved humans' powers || Both Hiro and Claire eat waffles before using their power. (''[[Hiros]]'',''[[Collision]]'') ||
|-
| Waffles are tasty. ||None. || {{plus}} Hiro admits having eaten waffles, and likes them. His father has admitted to not eating waffles, and doesn't like them.
|-
| The reason we never see Hiro's waffles is that he is wholly unimpressed by them and is convinced that there must be truly incredible waffles out there. His search will lead him to Belgium ca. WWII where he will become the inspiration for the Flemish comic book character, Nero. || None. || {{note}}Everybody knows the best waffles are in Belgium, not America. (See the [[Theories:People#Hiro Nakamura|Hiro=Nero]] theory.)
|-
| While waiting for [[Peter Petrelli]], [[Angela Petrelli]] will feed [[Claire]] and [[The Haitian]] waffles. || None. || {{note}}Angela's waffles will probably remind Claire of [[Sandra Bennet|Sandra]]'s waffles.
|-
|Waffles allow one to achieve a euphoria sensation.||None.||{{plus}}Hiro admits having eaten waffles and enjoys them.<br />{{note}}A possible reason Isaac was able to stay clean of heroin was because he used waffles as a substitute.
