+ Maybe he's not as good as creating electrical currents as he is creating magnetic fields.

• It's possible that the two abilities overlap slightly. For example, the German's body might have been slightly resistant to electrical shocks, because his magnetism would unconsciously disperse the current over his entire body, turning the effects of, say, one of Elle's bolts from "crispy fried human" to "very painful tasering".

Dr. Zimmerman is The German's father. The photo that Dr. Zimmerman has of him, the German, an unknown woman and a woman that appears to be Barbara. + They both share a strong German accent.

+ Dr Zimmerman appears to be the right age to have had a son that is The German's age.

The German is a clone of Dr. Zimmerman. Dr. Zimmerman has a history of biological manipulation. + Dr. Zimmerman has knowledge of powers so probably had one himself possibly biological manipulation.

+ He looks very similar to Dr. Zimmerman.

- Clones look identical not 'similar'.
+ A person's appearance is shaped by environment, lifestyle, and other factors, not just genetics. Even identical twins begin to look different as they get older. A clone would not necessarily look identical to the original.
+ He is obviously younger than Zimmerman, meaning he could very well be a clone. Faces do change when people age.
- Why wound Zimmerman or anyone else clone him?

- They could just be related.

Barbara was raised as the German's sister. The family photo. + The most likely scenario is that the German is Dr. Zimmerman and his wife's biological child while Barbara has different biological parents and was adopted by the Zimmerman's or Mrs. Zimmerman was the surrogate mother who gave birth to her.
+ In an interview with Ken Lally who plays the German, he said that he was the triplets' brother.
The German and the younger man in Zimmerman's family photo are identical twins separated at birth. The family photo. + Dr. Zimmerman's experiments may also have involved male test subjects.
The German will be back. He clearly has a connection to geneticist Dr. Zimmerman. + Dr. Zimmerman may have capabilities to clone the German or revive him from the dead.

+ Bringing the German back after he was unceremoniously killed by Knox would be a very surprising plot device.
• The German can be brought back without being revived, he could return in flashbacks. No need to keep resurrecting characters.
