{{theoryheader|sort=Petrelli, Mr.}} |
|||
|Petrelli is the founder of [[the Company]]. || None || {{note}}[[Angela Petrelli]] made remarks to [[Peter Petrelli|Peter]] that [[Nathan Petrelli|Nathan]] was just like his father, following in his footsteps, as both were lawyers. Nathan made remarks to [[Simone Deveaux]] that he would gather all [[evolved humans]] and put them on an island in the ocean. The Company's philosophy on evolved humans is similar. |
|||
|- |
|||
|Petrelli went to work for the Company after he saw [[Linderman]] [[heal]] him. || None. || |
|||
|- |
|||
|Mr. Petrelli has a [[power]] related with probability.|| None. || {{note}}He kept winning in the card games. (''[[War Buddies, Part 2]]''). |
|||
|- |
|||
|Mr. Petrelli has the [[power]] of immortality.|| Angela Petrelli states that Mr. Petrelli thought he was invincible. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'')||{{plus}}Angela's comment suggests that he was in some way resistant to death, but as he is (most likely) dead, he was clearly not immune to injury. Perpetuity would explain both these facts.<br>{{minus}} Petrelli knew Linderman had the healing power, so any physical injury could always be healed. Perpetuity isn't necessary and is likely not the case, since he seems to have eventually died. |
|||
|- |
|||
| It is possible that Mr. Petrelli had powers. || Mrs. Petrelli said that his depression involved delusions of grandeur, which is the same way Nathan describes Peter. His sons are evolved siblings. He worked for Mr. Linderman, who is aware of the recent evolutionary developments.{{epp|101}} || {{plus}} Linderman told Nathan that Mr. Petrelli was "one of us", referring to evolved humans.<br> |
|||
{{plus}}[[Linderman]] stated that Nathan's father had great power and Claude seems to look at Peter funny when he said that "I can do what you can do." Claude stated that he had seen another like Peter, so Mr. Petrelli may have had [[empathic mimicry]] as well. Angela said that Mr. Petrelli thought himself invincible. This would suggest why, in the future, [[Peter]] was revered as one of the most dangerous and powerful evolved humans. <br>{{note}}If Mr Petrelli did have powers, then he apparently did not exhibit them prior to or during ''War Buddies'', since he seemed very disbelieving of Linderman's powers at the time. |
|||
|- |
|||
| [[Mr. Petrelli]] is not dead, but in hiding from [[Mr. Linderman]], possibly as a part of the [[Wikipedia:Witness Protection Program|Witness Protection Program]]. He faked a suicide, possibly with the help of Nathan to protect his wife and family and so not to be put into a position either against his son or against Mr. Linderman. || Peter did not sense his own father's passing, like [[Charles Deveaux]]'s or [[Nathan's accident]]. Their mother stated that Nathan was the one who found his father dead.(''[[Genesis]]''), (''[[Six Months Ago]]''). || |
|||
{{note}}Since Peter's father supposedly committed suicide after [[Nathan's accident]], he had already experienced his first [[vision]].<br> |
|||
{{minus}}This theory requires that nobody other than those in on the fake suicide had seen Mr. Petrelli's body, an unlikely scenario that has not been indicated in the show.<br> |
|||
:{{plus}}Unless, of course, somebody like [[Candice]] created an illusion of Petrelli's corpse. Since Candice works for [[Linderman]], it would only be feasible for it to have been her if Linderman himself was involved in the death-faking, although there could well be other illusionists out there.<br>{{minus}}It is highly unlikely Candice would have had anything to do with such an event, since she, according to [[Thompson]], was just developing when they had [[Matt]] in custody.<br> |
|||
{{minus}}While Nathan tells Peter that their dad is dead from a heart attack, [[Angela Petrelli]] told Peter in the hospital not only that his father suffered delusions of grandeur and had committed suicide, but that he had attempted it several times before. If his death was faked, those previous attempts are no longer explained.<br> |
|||
:{{plus}}It could be that the previous attempts at suicide were genuine, and that they were exploited to add weight to the claim that he had committed suicide. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli died and has become [[Uluru]]. || None || {{note}} [[Linderman]] tells [[Nathan]] that his father possessed great power. [[Angela Petrelli]] tells [[Peter]] that his father thought he was indestructible. It has been suggested that Uluru is indestructible. [[Molly Walker]] says there is someone even more dangerous than [[Sylar]] pointing to a new villain, as per the paintings by Isaac Mendez this is most likely Uluru. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Linderman orchestrated Mr. Petrelli's death to look like a suicide. ||None. || {{note}}Linderman clearly has enough power to do such a thing, and he benefited from Mr. Petrelli's demise in that Nathan switched from being about to sue him to being a "candidate in his pocket." <br> |
|||
{{minus}}It is implied that his father's death was one of the main motivations for Nathan to begin working with the FBI to bring Linderman down. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli, and possibly Angela, were agents of the Company and Mr. Petrelli was killed because he was about to reveal company secrets to the public. ||None. || {{note}}Children with powers are sometimes placed with surrogate families until their powers manifest. It is possible that Mr. & Mrs. Petrelli were given Peter and Nathan and were told to raise them as their own until their powers manifested. Over this time, they had normal lives and grew to regard the Company agents as their parents, and in order to continue his protection of Peter and Nathan, Mr. Petrelli was prepared to go public. He was killed by the the Company to prevent this. Mrs. Petrelli's behavior toward Peter after his semi-failed attempt to fly also can therefore be interpreted as her desire to keep her "favorite" son from being exposed. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli did not have delusions of grandeur. His suicide was a way to make Linderman's healing power public. || Linderman has [[healing]] power. Mr. Petrelli decided to report the truth, but Linderman denies everything about his healing powers. Linderman states he might be delusional. (''[[War Buddies, Part 5]]'') || {{note}}Petrelli pushed Linderman going public about his healing power by committing suicide, forcing him to heal him. Previous attempts were covered up by the media and one time, Linderman just refused to heal him, thus indirectly killing.<br>{{plus}}Although Linderman said that Petrelli was delusional, it was clear that he wasn't (at that time).<br>{{minus}}It was stated by [[Angela Petrelli]] that Mr. Petrelli had major depressive disorder. She went on saying that this disorder can start from delusions of grandeur--thinking you're invincible or indestructible. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'')<br>{{minus}}Linderman claiming that Petrelli was delusional could have merely been a reference to Petrelli's illness. |

| Mr Petrelli faked his death, for the plans of the company to come to pass. || None. || |
