| Part of [[Usutu]]'s ability is to allow others to experience his visions. || [[Matt Parkman]] has a [[exposed future|vision of the future]] after eating [[Usutu's paste]] and listening to his [[walkman]].

|Usutu does not exist, but is part of a nightmare created by [[Maury|Matt's father]].||Maury is free, and making people see [[Linderman]].<br>Maury wants [[Daphne]] to recruit Matt. <i>([[Angels and Monsters]]) || {{plus}}Maury could have access to real precognitive visions, as well as Matt's memories to turn into "paintings" in the nightmare. Maury wants Matt to go with Daphne, so he gives Matt a vision of being married to her.<br>{{plus}}Matt says his vision of the future felt more like he was "really there". This sounds more like one of Maury's nightmares than a vision.<br>{{plus}}The whole experience has a nightmarish feel, and Usutu's appearance is much to convenient to be coincidental. [[Future Peter]] could have actually teleported Matt to a cell in [[The Company]] like [[Peter]], or somewhere similarly accessible to Maury. Why would he send Matt to Africa?<br> |
|||
{{plus}} The food and walkman may only be necessary to put Matt's mind in the right state of consciousness, much like [[Isaac]]'s [[heroin]], but Usutu is able to access his ability without them. Matt may have to be in Usutu's presence to channel his vision.<br /> |
|||
|- |
|||
{{plus}}The [[turtle]] as Matt's "spirit guide" is a very dreamlike element. |
|||
| [[Usutu]] let [[Arthur]] kill him for a reason. || None || {{plus}} Usutu can see the future. It would be possible that he can see that letting Arthur kill him would be for the greater good.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} This would be parallel to [[Isaac]] in [[Season One]], where he painted his death by [[Sylar]]'s hand and so accepted it, seeing it through the scope of all the events he saw.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} It's incredible then how he matched Daphne's presence with the real future. I mean, if didn't matt saw the all thing with peter aswell? Or did Maury created all that in Peter's mind?<br> |
|||
{{minus}} Arthur is much stronger than [[Hiro]] was. Usutu would need more than a shovel to stop him.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Arthur could have used [[telepathy]] to block Usutu's visions.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} If Matt was already trapped in one of Maury's nightmares, it should have been a simple matter for Maury to capture Matt without him realizing it. Why, then, go to the trouble of sending Daphne? |
|||
{{minus}} Usutu appeared to see many visions, but was mostly focused on [[Matt Parkman]]. He could have seen a vision of Matt instead of the one he needed of Arthur in order to stop him.<br /> |
|||
|- |

{{minus}} [[Hiro]] was sent on a mission from [[Pinehearst]] to get Usutu. |

| [[Usutu]] is a spirit guide. || In ''[[Episode:Dual|Dual]]'', [[Matt]] sees him after [[Daphne]] and [[Hiro]] return. || {{minus}} Usutu was visibly beheaded by Arthur in ''[[Episode:It's Coming|It's Coming]]'', suggesting a physical body.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} Usutu could have become a spirit guide after his physical body's destruction.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Except for Molly, who was telepathically looking for him, Maury appears to need to be in his victim's presence to create his illusions. |
|||
{{note}} Matt might have been [[telepathy|telepathically]] connected to Usutu when he died, allowing him to experience Usutu's ghost through visions.<br /> |

::{{note}} Matt is a common first name. Uluru and Usutu are not.<br/> |

|- |

| [[Usutu]]'s mention of "the dark <b>son</b> rises" is a reference to [[Gabriel]] or [[Peter]]. || Usutu speaks this in ''[[Episode:Eris Quod Sum|Eris Quod Sum]]''. || {{plus}} This is potentially double-speak, and literally could mean the "Dark Son" <br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} He could have said "sun" and not "son", meaning an eclipse.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} It could also refer to [[Nathan]], who is Peter's brother, turning "dark". Nathan "rises" when he uses [[flight|his ability to fly]].<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Or it could mean Nathan rising to power, not flying. (''[[Episode:A Clear and Present Danger|A Clear and Present Danger]]'')<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Nathan has turned good again. (''[[Episode|Cold Snap]]'')<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} In ''[[An Invisible Thread]]'', Sylar has become Nathan, becoming a metaphorical "dark son" and rising to power.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Usutu's words were, "Evil forces gather. The dark sun/son rises. Soon, it will be too late". He was clearly referring to [[Arthur]] and his team.<br /> |
|||
|- |
|||
| Usutu's ability was actually [[telepathy]]. || Matt is a telepath and developed precognitive skills. || {{plus}} BTE [http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=20883 said] regarding [[Charles Deveaux]], "For those who have complete control of telepathy – death may never be as final as it may seem". Usutu died, but still appeared to Matt.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} It could be Matt's own subconscious reaching out to him via his ability, he's the one alive, Usutu could be simply a metaphor for something else.<br /> |
|||
::{{plus}} Such a thing wasn't observed anywhere else.<br /> |

:::{{minus}} It doesn't mean it can't happen.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Usutu said he had the same problems with his destiny to be a prophet as Matt. (''[[A Clear and Present Danger]]'')<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Regarding seeing the future, not reading people's minds.<br /> |
|||
::{{note}} He wasn't explicit about what he had problems with.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Matt was never shown to read Usutu's mind. Could it be because Usutu made him not to?<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Matt never tried to read Usutu's mind.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Matt felt no need to read Usutu's mind.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Usutu never gave Matt a reason to read his mind.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} When Matt [[Space-time manipulation|appeared]] in Africa, he tried to read someone's mind, but he couldn't find anyone, while Usutu was there, coming after Matt.<br /> |
|||
::{{minus}} Usutu could still be out of Matt's reach when Matt searched for someone.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Usutu knew [[Hiro]] was behind him when the latter was about to hit him with a shovel (''[[Eris Quod Sum]]''). Even though he was a precog, he didn't have eyes in the back of his head to know the exact moment when he should speak.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Precogs "watch" the future as they paint it (''[[Collision]]''). Having had precognition for most of his life, Usutu could have remembered what he saw, not only depending on his paintings.<br /> |
|||
::{{plus}} Still doesn't explain how he knew Hiro was behind him.<br /> |
|||
:::{{minus}} By remembering what he saw in the future, he knew how and when to act in the present.<br /> |
|||
:::{{minus}} Arthur knew when the eclipse would happen, and had just acquired precognition. There was no indication of when it would happen, but he knew nonetheless.<br /> |
|||
::::{{note}} Arthur saw Usutu's painting of the eclipse, no powers involved.<br /> |
|||
:::::{{note}} After painting the eclipse himself, he stated when it would happen, though there was no indication in his drawings.<br /> |
|||
::::::{{note}} Mohinder predicted the eclipse.<br /> |
|||
:::::::{{note}} Mohinder commented about abilities manifesting during the last eclipse, he never said there would be another eclipse. Mohinder only started working with eclipse effects after Arthur ordered him to.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Just before Hiro stabbed Sylar (''[[How to Stop an Exploding Man]]''), Sylar's eyes went white, though he didn't paint, meaning precogs don't have to paint in order to see the future, painting is merely a way of "recording" it.<br /> |
|||
::{{plus}} Usutu had to see present, not the future.<br /> |

:::{{minus}} The realm from which precogs draw when they paint could have affected him in other ways, maybe a knack for knowing when things he foresaw would happen.<br /> |
