| Maury 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.

| 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 />
| Maury 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 mean that the hooded killer is extremely strong, enough to be worse than Sylar. <br>
:{{minus}} It is possible that Kaito's ability had no use in combat.
:{{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 />
<br>{{Minus}} Maury and Kaito were in the same company who's members are being killed off. Maury has no evident reason for killing someone he used to work with. <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 />
{{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.<br> {{Plus}} Mr. Parkman could have put Kaito into a dream sequence where Kaito thought he was being pushed off of the ledge of the building. Thus dreaming he was falling off and perhaps "sleep walking" in real life off of the edge.<br>
:{{plus}} This could also explain the lack of a second body at the scene.<br>
:{{minus}} Arthur also insisted in recruiting Matt.<br />
:{{minus}} It would not explain why [[Ando]] was able to see the hooded killer and was a witness to the murder.
:{{plus}} Maury has been able to link two people into harming each other (Matt and Nathan). There's no reason why Maury couldn't just implant the same vision into both Kaito and Ando's minds.

{{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 />

| Maury was not Matt's birth father. || None || {{plus}} None of the other evolved families thus far have had direct inheritance of a similar power. <br>
{{Minus}} All of the cases in which offspring inherited their powers were when both parents had powers. It could be that Matt's mother did not have a power. <br>
{{plus}} Maury has not seen his son since his son was thirteen could be an indication he knew Matt wasn't his. <br>
{{plus}} Matt's willingness to adopt Molly may be a sign that he was also adopted. <br>
{{plus}} There is also a paternity question as to whether Janice's child is his.<br> {{minus}} Their powers are very similar.<br>
:{{plus}} It is not confirmed that powers are hereditary. It could just be coincidence.
:{{Minus}} That would be an incredibly bizarre and contrived coincidence, if it was really random. Since telepathy is a uniquely mental power, it wouldn't be surprising if it was easier to inherit through the brain. The Haitian's father possessed a vaguely similar power(controlling emotions is not too far removed from controlling dreams and cognitive funtions), thus it's likely the Haitain could possibly be a similar example of mental powers being passed on more easily than physical ones. If the single parent theory above is also true, it would easily apply to both Maury/Matt AND Gillaume/Haitian.
