| The man who is able to see Molly is [[Uluru]]. || None || {{plus}} In an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10548 interview], the writers stated that "we would see a hint of Uluru before the season is over".<br>{{plus}} Molly states that, if she uses her power to see this person, he can see her back. While using his power, [[Isaac]] saw Uluru, and Uluru saw and spoke to Isaac. (''[[Isaac's First Time]]'')<br>{{plus}} Uluru has been hinted at as a villain for quite some time now. This could be a set-up to [[Season Two]].<br>{{minus}}Kring [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=11412 confirmed] that Uluru only existed in the pages of the comic books.<BR>{{minus}}The man who is able to see [[Molly]] is [[Mr. Parkman]]<br>{{note}}No proof exists that Mr. Parkman is not Uluru |

| Maury has an ulterior motive for telling [[Daphne]] to recruit [[Matt]] into the [[Pinehearst Company]]. || None || {{plus}} If Maury, a [[telepath]], is already a member, why would they need Matt, another telepath?<br /> |
|||
| The man watching Molly plans to use Sylar's body in some way to achieve his evil means. || None || {{plus}} At times, Sylar speaks in a different voice, similar to Eden's 'command' voice. However, she shot herself before he could take her brain, and he clearly does not have this ability. He also appears to change character at times; he tries to give his mother a 'snowglobe' experience and when she begins to get upset, he starts to revel in her fear. This 'inner' being may well be [[Uluru]].<br>{{plus}} Sylar's body disappears mysteriously, with a trail of blood leading to an open sewer cover. The trail of blood indicates that Sylar's body was dragged, possibly by the man watching Molly. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'')<br>{{minus}} Sylar could have moved himself with the little strength he had left or with telekinesis.<br>{{minus}} Tim Kring stated in an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=10657 interview] that Sylar "clearly somehow dragged himself into a manhole." |

:{{minus}} It's logical for Pinehearst to recruit multiple individuals with the same ability.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} It doesn't seem likely that Maury would go over Arthur's head.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Maury may be recruiting his own Trojan army at Pinehearst to overthrow Arthur Petrelli in a coup, starting with Matt and Daphne.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Arthur also insisted in recruiting Matt.<br /> |

||
| Although [[Maury]]'s physical body is dead, his [[telepathy]] allows his mind to survive and possibly return in a later episode (possibly in another body). || None || {{plus}} Both [[Charles Deveaux]]'s and [[Hana Gitelman]]'s minds have survived beyond physical death.<br /> |
|||
| The man's power is power reflection, similar to [[Peter]]'s [[Empathic mimicry|mimicry]] (in earlier episodes, when the power was only available when another evolved human was using it).||[[Molly]] says that when she [[Clairvoyance|thinks]] of him, he can see her. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]'')||{{plus}} If he can reflect powers, he could possibly know where Molly is if she knows where he is. |
|||
{{plus}} The Astral Plain in Marvel comics allows psychics to survive physical death and it wouldn't be the first idea the Heroes team have "borrowed" from the X-Men.<br /> |

||
| [[Maury]] lost his powers to [[Arthur]] once, but regained them by taking the [[formula]] serum. || None || {{note}} [[Telepathy]] had to come from somewhere.<br /> |
|||
| The man's power is omnipresence or something similar. He can be present in every place at anytime.||None.|| {{plus}} This might be how he can see Molly.<br> {{minus}} Molly said that the being can only see her when she sees him.<Br> |
|||
{{minus}} Nothing suggests Maury ever lost his ability.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Mr. Parkman can see Molly when she's sleeping, and she doesn't appear to be using [[clairvoyance]] during this time. |
|||
{{minus}} It seems more likely that Arthur would have taken the ability from someone that he did not deem as useful to him as Maury was.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Arthur told Peter that he can give Peter his powers back using the formula. He seemed pretty sure that it would work. So the formula had already been used to give a powerless evolved human his power back. This could be Maury.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} But it didn't give Peter his powers back, indicating speculation.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Arthur being sure doesn't constitute the formula doing that in the past.<br /> |

| [[Maury]] was responsible for "healing" Nathan at the start of Season 3. || We know for a fact that [[Maury]] was responsible for [[Nathan]]'s visions of [[Linderman]], placing him at the hospital just after Nathan was shot. || {{plus}} It seems likely that [[Maury]] would try to "sell" Nathan's miracle visions with a "miracle recovery". After all, Nathan's visions of the afterlife wouldn't work if the doctor's told him he was never legally dead.<br /> |

| The man [[Audrey]] believed to be [[Sylar]] in ''[[One Giant Leap]]'' was actually this man. || None || {{plus}}Molly said to Parkman: "How could he find me?"<br>{{plus}}He didn't take her brain.<br>{{minus}} He displayed Sylar's powers, such as telekinesis. He even had a baseball cap.<br>{{minus}} Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite stated in an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9411 interview] that the man who was chasing Molly in the FBI building was Sylar. |

{{plus}} It would be well within his powers to manipulate the doctors into thinking Nathan had died, even if the surgery had been successful. All it would take is a few seconds of mind-control...<br /> |

| [[Maury]] is a [[precog]]. || None || {{plus}} Matt is a precog.<br /> |
|||
| Molly's villain and the dragon from [[Kaito Nakamura]]'s story in [[Episode:Landslide|Landslide]] are one and the same. || None. || {{note}} Since [[Volume Two]] opens with Hiro in the past meeting the [[Takezo Kensei]], we may soon learn more about the legend of the dragon. |
|||
:{{plus}} Maury's ability could be hereditary and he passed on both telepathy and precognition to Matt.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Telepathy is likely to be connected to precognition if Matt were to have gotten both of his abilities naturally.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Maury had known about his ability longer than Matt had when he had discovered he was a precog, giving Maury a higher chance of discovering that he was a precog.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Maury was never stated as having either met a precog or gone on a spirit walk.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} The writer's have stated that Matt's powers are developing in ways his father's never did or could have. Precognition could simply be one of these developments.<br /> |

| The man's power is [[empathic mimicry]]. || [[Molly]] says that when she "[[clairvoyance|thinks about him]]", he can see her. (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]''). || {{plus}}This could be the result of mimicry. <br>{{plus}} Also, if the new villain were an empath, it would not be difficult to be 'worse than [[Sylar]]' in the danger stakes. While Sylar needs to study your brain to take your power, an empath only needs to meet you, once.<br>{{plus}}Claude has implied that he has met other empaths before.<br> {{note}} An empath's mutations might be viral, as suggested [http://theories.activatingevolution.org/swiki/wiki/index.php/Gene_Pool#Mutations here]. |

|- |
||
| The man who can see Molly is the [[hooded killer]] who killed Kaito. || None || {{Plus}} The hooded killer seems to be connected to evolved humans, specifically The Company, who took care of Molly in the past. <br> {{plus}} Kaito Nakamura is a really strong and experienced evolved human, but he was shocked and afraid of the hooded killer, which could could mean that the hooded killer is extremely strong, enough to be worse than Sylar. <br> {{plus}} The hooded killer may have a power because he disappeared after he fell with Kaito to the ground. He could be multi-powered like Sylar or Peter and one of his powers might be connected to Molly. <br> {{Minus}} It's highly unlikely that Mr. Parkman directly killed Kaito, given the apparent girth of Mr. Parkman. |

|- |
|||
| Mr. Parkman angered the [[Company]] and left his family to keep them from getting involved. || Matt's father left when Matt was thirteen years old (''[[The Kindness of Strangers]]'') || {{plus}} The time Matt's father left would be during the time he was a veteran in the Company.<br>{{plus}}Molly states that she doesn't want to find Mr. Parkman using her ability because he sees her. This may imply that the Company used her to find him previously, as she would not have reason to use her ability to find him otherwise. |
|||
|- |
|||
|Mr. Parkman's power is the ability to possess other people's minds and take control of them. || None || {{plus}} [[Molly]] seems to need to mentally link with who ever she is tracking, this could explain why he can see her when she tries to find him. <br> {{plus}} He could have possessed [[Angela]] and forced her to attack herself and then admit to killing [[Kaito]]. |
|||
<br> {{plus}} This could possibly explain how he was apparently the one who controls [[cockroach]]es. |
|||
|- |
|||
|Mr. Parkman is a highly advanced [[telepathy|telepath]], capable not only of reading minds but also controlling them as well. || None || {{plus}} This would explain how he was able to see [[Molly]] and his psychic attacks upon her in ''[[Episode:The Kindness of Strangers|The Kindness of Strangers]]''.<br> |
|||
{{plus}} A power of this nature and scope, particularly one that can seemingly be used across great distances, would be enough to make a person a bigger threat than [[Sylar]].<br> |
|||
{{plus}} He could have possessed [[Angela]] and forced her to attack herself and then admit to killing [[Kaito]].<br> |
|||
{{note}} In comic books, powerful telepaths are generally considered to be the most dangerous super-powered individuals of all.<br> |
|||
{{note}} This would be the first time that a known evolved human shares a power with his offspring.<br> |
|||
{{minus}} He might not have mind control powers since Molly might just have gone unconscious due to the shock of seeing him. |

|- |
|||
| Mr. Parkman's power is the ability of thought projection. This does not involve reading people's minds or controlling them, but only involves implanting his own thoughts in other people. || None || {{plus}} This would explain how he was able to detect [[Molly]] (though he may not actually be seeing her) and would explain how he was able to enter her nightmares.<br> |
|||
{{plus}} Assuming Mr. Parkman can detect an astral presence from Molly when she uses [[clairvoyance|her power]] to find him, Mr. Parkman might not even require a large range on his power. |

|- |

| Mr. Parkman didn't mean to hurt [[Molly Walker]] when she located him in ''[[Episode:The Kindness of Strangers|The Kindness of Strangers]]''. || None || {{plus}} Mr. Parkman might just have wanted to scare her away and she fainted from shock instead.<br> |
|||
<br>{{plus}} Mr. Parkman might just be able to detect someone's presence using his power, and he didn't know it was Molly Walker who had located him. |
