Theory Citations Notes
Usutu was not born with the ability of precognition; he gained it artificially. None + Matt Parkman seems to enter a trance after consuming Usutu's paste, and then listening to Usutu's Walkman. Usutu might use the same paste to make his drawings. (I Am Become Death)

+ After death, Usutu seems to be 'passing on' his gift of precognition to Matt somehow. Thus, it is likely that Usutu originally got his ability artificially from an older precog.
