| [[Ando]] does not actually have power augmentation.

| Ando is [[Angela]] and [[Kaito]]'s son. || Kaito and Angela have had an affair in the past. || {{plus}} Kaito would have to give up the baby so [[Ishi Nakamura|his wife]] would not be suspicious.<br />
:{{plus}} Ando could be manipulating whatever is manipulated by all people with abilities.<br />
{{minus}} It's highly unlikely Kaito would have let Ando pursue a relationship with his daughter if Ando was also his child.<br />

{{plus}} When Ando first manifests his artificial ability, it begins as random sparks of red energy jumping off of his hands.<br />
{{minus}} Both parents would have powers, and most children of people with abilities also have powers: but Ando does not. (A natural ability at least.) <br />
{{note}} The reason it augmented [[Matt]]'s ability may be because when Matt grabbed Ando, the energy increased Matt's energy output, which in turn increased the potency of his ability.<br />

| [[Future Ando]] is more powerful than Hiro. || In season 3, Future Hiro was shown possibly killed by Future Ando by his power. || {{plus}} Ando probably has a power of his own. Lots of the characters that have powers learned them at different ages. So Ando may have learned his.<br />
{{minus}} Unless there was more to Ando's power than what we were shown, then Hiro's is definitely more powerful; he can stop time to do whatever he wants.<br />
:{{minus}} Hiro was happy to see that Ando was with his sister. He even expressed the idea of Ando and Kimiko getting married.<br />
:{{plus}} Hiro once traveled to the future and saw himself get killed by [[Ando]]. Now that Hiro changed future events again by making Ando and [[Kimiko]] date, chances are that [[Ando Masahashi (exposed future)|Future Ando]] may return differently with a new motive to kill Hiro for some new reason.<br />
::{{minus}} Future Ando killed Hiro because he worked for Pinehearst, he was there to take the formula, and he only attacked Hiro when he had no other choice left.<br />
{{note}} Hiro is known for changing future events. This change he did for Ando and Kimiko can change their relationship with Hiro. We don't know for sure what else changed.<br />
:{{minus}} Nothing else seems to have change, there were no significant changes other than Ando and Kimiko's relationship.<br />
:{{note}} That's because we need more episodes to see if this theory is true.<br />

| [[Ando]] will help [[Hiro]] find [[Charlie]]. || None || {{plus}} Ando could call [[Claire]] or [[Peter]] to ask about Hiro and come to the carnival. This way he could supercharge Hiro and they could return to when Charlie was taken by [[Arnold]].<br />
| Future Ando is an illusion created by an evolved human yet to be introduced, or a person such as Sylar or Peter mimicking these abilities, intended to trick Hiro. || None. || {{plus}} [[Connie Logan]] in the graphic novels has the ability to change people's appearances. She, or someone with similar abilities, may have altered an evolved human who can shoot red bolts to look like Ando.<br />
:{{minus}} Hiro can now time travel on his own.<br />
{{plus}} Hiro could teleport to a pay phone and call Ando and ask for help.<br />
{{plus}} Kimiko will want Ando to help Hiro.<br />

| Future Ando is a hero and [[future Hiro]] is evil. || None. || {{plus}} Ando looked sad that he had to take Hiro out.<br />
| [[Ando]] will lose [[Kimiko]] due to keeping secrets. || None || {{plus}} Kimiko was shocked to discover [[Hiro]]'s power.<br />
:{{minus}} He apparently wasn't "taking Hiro out". He was augmenting Hiro's power (if he has it back yet) for an unknown reason.<br />
:{{minus}} Shock doesn't necessarily leads to a break-up. He hasn't had his ability for such a long time, and he wasn't at Japan when he got it, so he wouldn't have been able to tell her that.<br />
{{plus}} Kimiko could get angry because Ando never revealed his power or told her about Hiro's illness.<br />
{{plus}} Although it isn't certain about the nature of [[Pinehearst Company]], in the future Ando works for them, and so far they have been the good guys (in the [[Exposed future|future]], that is), by taking down terrorists.<br />
:{{minus}} If anything, Kimiko will be angry because she wasn't told who killed her father and why. And the fact the killer was also killed later could ease that.<br />
{{plus}} Future Ando killed (or simply attacked) Future Hiro with red lightning. In Heroes, red color symbolizes good guys.<br />
:{{minus}} He was probably helping Hiro, not attacking him.<br />
:{{minus}} Ando tried to tell Kimiko about his and Hiro's powers, but she didn't believe him.<br />
{{plus}} Finding out her little brother buried the [[Adam|killer]] alive in the same cemetery as her [[Kaito|father]] and Ando didn't tell, might cause them to break up.<br />
:{{note}} When has red been associated with good guys?<br />
:{{note}} Daredevil, Spiderman, etc there are a lot...<br />
:{{minus}} She should be angry at Hiro then, because it's rather Nakamuras' business.<br />
:{{note}} ''In Heroes''. Almost every good character has been shown wearing red: Nathan's tie, Claire's cheerleader's uniform (in Volume One), Peter's T-shirt under his white jacket and so on. Unlike them, Sylar, Linderman, Adam and Arthur never wore red clothes.<br />
::{{minus}} Nathan doesn't look like he's in the good guy territory anymore.<br />
:{{note}} Nathan hasn't worn red recently...<br />
{{minus}} If Hiro were evil, he could have easily killed Ando first. The fact that he didn't freeze time and slice Ando in half gives reason to believe that Hiro is still a good guy.<br />
{{plus}} Hiro may not have got his powers back.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will help another character to defeat [[Samuel]]. || None || {{plus}} Ando's supercharging ability could help a powerful evolved human compete with Samuel's power (after he gathers enough evolved humans at the carnival).<br />
| In [[Season_Three#Volume_Four:_Fugitives|Volume 4]], [[Ando]] and [[Hiro]] will change roles, with Hiro becoming Ando's sidekick. || At the end of [[Season_Three#Volume_Three:_Villains|Volume 3]], Hiro is depowered while Ando is newly empowered. || {{plus}} This would be an interesting twist to the relationship between Hiro and Ando.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] may be able to give abilities to others (possibly temporarily), including Hiro. || None. || {{plus}} While he augments those who already have abilities, Ando may be able to give powers (possibly permanently or only temporarily) to others.<br />
| [[Ando]] will help [[Hiro]] to defeat [[Samuel]]. || None || {{plus}} Hiro mentioned saving Watson. This could be a reference to the audience about Ando, who is Hiro's sidekick.<br />
:{{plus}} His "power" is the same color as the liquid made from the [[formula]]...red.<br />
{{plus}} Hiro also said "beam me up Scotty", which could be a reference to Ando supercharging Hiro's ability.<br />
{{plus}} Perhaps [[Future Ando]] was not augmenting [[Future Hiro]]'s ability, or attacking Hiro...perhaps he was providing Hiro with his ability, temporarily.<br />
:{{plus}} It is also possible that [[Future Ando]] had just discovered that he could give abilities permanently to others, so he was trying for the first time to give [[Hiro]] his ability back permanently.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will return Hiro's power. || None. || {{plus}} Hiro was on Nathan's list at the start of [[Season Three#Volume Four: Fugitives|Volume 4]], so it is likely he has his powers. He and Ando didn't touch (you may correct me on this), so when they do, Ando's power will come into play.<br />
| [[Ando]] is the person that [[Samuel]] is after. || None || {{plus}} Ando's ability, if used on Samuel, would make Samuel even more powerful that he already is. Since Samuel is already more powerful due to the evolved humans that are in close proximity to him, using Ando's ability would make him unstoppable.<br />
:{{minus}} Samuel can control earth. This doesn't make him unstoppable, only very dangerous.<br />
:{{minus}} Hiro's file has probably not been updated to reflect that Arthur stole his powers. The only people that knew were Arthur, Claire, and Hiro, and it is doubtful that Arthur's first thought when he returned with the [[catalyst]] was to update some paperwork.<br />
::{{plus}} Samuel can multiply his power exponentially with several evolved humans around him, and Ando can multiply his ability a thousand times more. If he were to reach that level of power, he would be, for all intents and purposes, unstoppable.<br />
{{plus}} People do think he can give powers; maybe he can only give powers back.<br />
|-
|-
| [[Ando]] will help [[Peter]] absorb more than one ability. || None || {{plus}} The formula reverted Peter's original ability to its simplest form, if Ando supercharges his new ability, theoretically it could become stronger than [[empathic mimicry]].<br />
| If Ando's ability augments itself, it can cause a deadly ray. || In the [[Exposed Future]] we see [[Future Ando|Ando]] killing [[Hiro Nakamura (exposed future)|Hiro]], with a red beam. || {{plus}} If it's in fact the same ability we see, in the present and in the future, then we see the ability in the future augmenting anything. This could create some kind of malfunction, causing the ability to be lethal.<br />
|-<!--Theories about Ando's ability should go at Theory:Ability supercharging-->
:{{plus}} The ability is in fact very powerful. It is powerful enough to make Daphne run through time.<br />
::{{note}} If Ando amplifies an ability too much it could be possible for that person to overload and die or collapse from the overwhelming feel of their ability, e.g., Matt's telepathy being amplified too much could cause him to have a brain hemorrhage.<br />
{{minus}} We do not know if Future Hiro was killed by Future Ando. Perhaps he was helping Hiro in some way.<br />
