{{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 /> |
|||
{{plus}} None of the other evolved families thus far have had direct inheritance of a similar power. <br> |
|||
:{{minus}} |
:{{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 /> |
|||
::{{plus}}If [[James Walker]] had the same power as [[Molly]], [[Sylar]] wouldn't have needed hers. |

|- |

::{{Minus}} Sylar couldn't have known what Molly's powers were. He only went after her because he knew she had a power. |

| [[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 /> |
|||
::{{Minus}} James could have died before Sylar took his brain. Sylar may have just tried in vain to take his powers |
|||
{{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 /> |
|||
:{{minus}}Perhaps mental powers are more likely to be inherited. One example of this could be the [[Haitian]] and [[Guillame]], since their powers are similar. The single parent theory above could also apply to them.<br> |

{{plus}} Maury might have left Matt when his son was thirteen because he knew Matt wasn't his, just as Matt left Janice. <br> |

| [[Maury]] is a [[precog]]. || None || {{plus}} Matt is a precog.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Matt's willingness to adopt Molly may be a sign that he was also adopted. <br> |
|||
:{{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 /> |

||
| [[Maury Parkman]] was in fact working for someone other than [[Adam Monroe]]. || None. || {{note}} Maury is still alive; it is likely he will appear again in [[Volume 3]]. <br> |
|||
{{plus}} Maury could easily have killed either [[Angela Petrelli]] or [[Bob]]. Why simply scare Angela and never attempt it again?<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} Because he failed to kill her. She resisted his attack.<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} If he intentionally spared them, that raises a new question; why would he ''scare'' them, and make them ''think'' he was working for Adam? |
|||
{{plus}} Maury did not kill either Matt or Nathan, when he knew they were preparing to stop him.<br> |
|||
:{{note}} The only source that implies he was coming to harm [[Matt]] or [[Nathan]] is from Bob, who appears to be the target and is certainly unreliable. (''[[Out of Time]]'')<br> |
|||
{{plus}} Adam carries pictures of his victims with him. Maury does not, instead leaving them to be found by his pursuers.<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} Perhaps it was a simple mistake; he didn't appear to know Nathan and Matt were coming to his [[apartment]]. |
|||
:{{minus}} The threat was in the same distinct style as all of Adam's; why would he have Bob's photo? (''[[Fight or Flight]]'')<br> |
|||
::{{note}} It is possible he forged his death threat to gain credibility.<br> |
|||
{{plus}} No motive has been given for Maury siding with Adam. Being a telepath and one of the original twelve, Maury would know Adam's plans for genocide. While Maury has clearly been described as certainly evil, he has not been shown as either a Linderman-style healer or a genocide nut like Adam.<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} Adam is certainly manipulative, though; perhaps he promised Maury the gift of immortality. Or perhaps he agreed with Adam's misanthropy, just as [[Angela]] agreed with [[Linderman]]'s utilitarianism. |
|||
{{plus}} Maury wouldn't be worried about Adam. Adam can only regenerate, Maury can control minds and create nightmares. He might still need the shotgun, but Adam would still be at a huge disadvantage.<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} Angela has shown resistance to persuasion. Adam, being significantly older, might even be immune to telepathy; [[Peter]] never attempted to read his mind.<br> |
|||
{{plus}} Maury wouldn't be worried about the Company either. Perhaps [[the Haitian]] might dampen his powers, but even Matt Parkman discovered his powers could break through the Haitian's power.<br> |
|||
:{{minus}} His motive did not appear to be fear.<br> |
|||
{{minus}} Bob says Maury is the blunt instrument. Obviously Adam has manipulated him in some way, and has allowed some sort of advantage for Maury in return for killing the other founders.<br> |
|||
{{minus}} Maury didn't attack Angela or Bob until immediately after Adam was released. |
