:{{note}} Although it's implied that Nathan will become President through the death of the current President, if he's not 35, he would be ineligible and the Presidency would pass down the line of succession.<br />

:{{plus}} On the other hand, Angela has done deeds up to and including plotting mass murder and personally feeding people to Sylar. She is, at best, horribly ruthless with 'good' intentions.<br />
::{{minus}} By feeding [[Bridget Bailey|Bridget]] to Sylar she gave him the ability to see the past of an object or person by touching them. When Sylar saved Claire from the [[Gravitational manipulation|vortex]] in ''[[Angels and Monsters]]'' he apparently felt her pain. This could be rewardable to Angela for giving him the ability and therefore slowly transforming him into a human rather than a monster.<br />
:::{{plus}} Furthermore, when [[Gabriel Gray (exposed future)|Future Gabriel]] moves into the Bennett residence, he will undoubtedly use his [[clairsentience]] on Claire's former residence and learn of the pain and destruction he had caused within the Bennett family.<br />
