| The [[jumpsuit|phony exterminator]] was working for [[Mr. Bennet]]. That's why he has the same gun [[Eden]] and Mr. Bennet both use. || The exterminator's gun (''[[Don't Look Back]]'') is customized identically to Mr. Bennet's (''[[Hiros]]'') and Eden's (''[[Fallout]]''). ||
|-
| [[Isaac Mendez]] will end up working with the [[AWI]]. || [[Hiro]] found the same gun near Isaac's body that [[Mr. Bennet]], [[Eden]], and the man in the [[jumpsuit]] all use. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'') || Isaac calls [[Mr. Bennet]] and seems to be working with him to track down [[Peter]]. (''[[Distractions]]'') He hasn't been shown in possession of the gun yet.
|-
| One or more of the guns are the same exact gun. In particular, the gun [[Mohinder]] got from the exterminator may end up being the gun found in [[Isaac's apartment]]. || None. || It's unknown where Mohinder's gun is at present. However, given that [[Isaac]] is working with [[Mr. Bennet]], it's likely the gun found near Isaac's body comes directly from the [[AWI]].

| [[Hana]] is going to see [[Theodore Sprague]] so they can both get revenge on [[Mr. Bennet]]. || On the document Hana is reading in her hand, the name "TeddyBear" can be seen at the top. (''[[Wireless, Part 4]]'') [[Karen Sprague]]'s nickname for her husband was Teddy Bear. (''[[Nothing to Hide]]'') || Since they both have [[the mark]]s on their necks, that means Mr. Bennet had gotten to them both already and tagged them with the radioactive isotope. Hana will get revenge for being used, and Ted will get revenge for his powers becoming out of control and resulting in the death of his wife. The graphic novel ''[[Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 1|How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 1]]'' confirms that TEDDYBEAR616 is [[Theodore Sprague]]'s chat username.

|-
| The painting does not depict [[Peter]] absorbing [[Ted]]'s radiation power and [[explosion|exploding]]. The painting instead shows [[Peter]] absorbing [[Meredith]]'s power of [[pyrokinesis]]. Thus, the painting is accurate, yet Peter does not cause [[the explosion]]. || None || In [[Peter's visions]], he has not yet been shown burning quite as clearly or completely as the figure in the painting. However, the effects of the explosion in his vision are otherwise very similar to the painting.
|-
| The person who is exploding is in control of their powers.
| None
| The look in the eyes and position of the head is not the same as that of [[Peter]] exploding in his [[visions]]. Also the positioning of the face and arms is that of someone who knows how to move energy&mdash;possibly [[Ted Sprague]] or a new [[evolved human]]. The easter egg that was in [[Graphic Novel:Fathers and Daughters]] was this painting. It was labeled "Energy Man".

==[[Hiro's sword]]==
''For disproven theories, see [[disproven theories#Hiro's sword|here]].''
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Evidence !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| [[Future Hiro]] has come from an apocalyptic future where one needs a sword to defend oneself. || None || Based on [[Isaac's painting]], it appears he'll get the sword long before any apocalypse
|-
| Since a gun would be completely useless if time were frozen, he uses the sword to defeat enemies. || None || Hiro can move objects when time is stopped, but there's no evidence he can allow objects (like bullets) to move of their own accord.
|-
| Hiro uses the sword to channel his [[powers]]. || Hiro claims that having the sword will give him greater control of his power. (''[[Godsend]]'') || The veracity of Hiro's belief is not yet known, but if Hiro's powers are wavering due to his shaken self-confidence, as [[Joe Pokaski]] and [[Aron Coleite]] have implied, it's possible that his belief that the sword will focus his powers will be enough to do the trick.
|-
| Some [[evolved humans]], such as those with [[Claire]]'s [[regeneration]] ability, might have to be decapitated to be killed, as in the "Highlander" mythos, particularly Sylar.|| Until the tree branch is pulled out of Claire's head by the coroner, Claire's regeneration does not function. (''[[Collision]]'') ||
|-
| Hiro thinks having a sword would be cool.|| He says "I had a sword? Cool!" (''[[Better Halves]]'') || While true, he first becomes interested in actually getting the sword after seeing [[Isaac's painting]] of his encounter with the [[dinosaur]]. (''[[Fallout]]'')
|-
| Hiro's sword is a reference to Nightcrawler, a Marvel Comics character who possesses teleporting superpowers and uses a sword. Hiro is a member of the Marvel Merry Marching Society. || None || This is as or more likely a coincidence than a rationale on Hiro's part.
|-
| With the sword, he will be a deadly adversary, since he will be able to stop time, attack his adversaries while they are helpless, then allow time to resume so that they will feel the effects of the wounds. It is hard to imagine how anyone will be able to defeat Hiro if he has enough warning to use his power to control time. || When Hiro "stops time", he can still interact with people and objects that are "frozen". (''[[Don't Look Back]]'') || This may be significant regarding Sylar's apparent resistance to bullets. The sword may be instrumental in defeating Sylar if/when the explanation behind his "bulletproof" nature is further explained.
|-
| The sword will come in useful on Hiro's predicted trip back in time where he must confront a dinosaur. || None || Hiro expresses grave concern over making significant alterations to history such as with stepping on a bug. He may consider this reasoning as well for using a sword (aside from fulfilling Isaac's painting vision and Peter's report of meeting future Hiro carrying a sword. Part of the motivation could be Hiro needing weapons as defense and not wanting to bring back firearms which could leave bullets or casings in the fossil record potentially altering discoveries in paleontology. (This presumes he succeeds in eventually leaving that time and doesn't become part of the fossil record himself, along with his sword.) However, since Hiro already encountered a dinosaur in the present at the [[Museum of Natural History]], it's not clear that he will necessarily be encountering another.
|-
| Future Hiro may come from a very bad future in which he felt compelled to go back to the past and risk a [[rift]] in time to try and change the future in which he exists. This future is probably post-apocalyptic and low-tech weapons may be the norm. Now that he has changed the past he might have set things in motion that may eliminate this future Hiro and his bad experiences that made him so serious and hard.
| Future Hiro comments that he is risking a rift just talking to Peter. (''[[Collision]]'')
| Hiro is trying to obtain the sword in the present, meaning he will likely have it long before any coming apocalypse.
|-
| The sword isn't for [[Hiro]], it's for [[Niki]]. The sword will allow her two sides to be integrated and bring balance to her personality, giving her full access to her power.|| None || [[Takezo Kensei]], the samurai that originally possessed the sword was feared by everyone because he was brutal and powerful, just like [[Jessica]]. However, if the sword is meant for Niki, it's not meant for her for another 5 years, at a minimum, as [[Future Hiro]] possessed the sword when he met with [[Peter]].
|-
| '''<u>The Sinner Made Sword Saint Theory</u> :''' The sword belonged to [[Future Hiro]], but in this present it is meant for [[Sylar]]. His uncontrolled power and oppressive childhood combined together are what were turning him into a psychopath. With the sword he gains control over both and becomes sane again and tries to atone for his murderous rampage, and at some point before he gains full control of himself is transported to Feudal Japan. || None ||The beginning of the story of the ancient wielder of the sword, [[Takezo Kensei]], sounds more like Sylar than Hiro. However, this would require [[Sylar]] to either acquire [[Hiro]]'s ability to bend time and space or [[Peter]]'s ability to mimic the powers of others, and the depictions of [[Takezo Kensei]] also resemble Hiro more than they resemble [[Sylar]].
|-
| The sword was [[Hiro]]'s. [[Future Hiro]] traveled back in time and was known as [[Takezo Kensei]]. || The painting of Takezo Kensei bears a distinct resemblance to Future Hiro. Both have long hair and a soulpatch. (''[[Godsend]]'') || This is a corollary of a [[Theories:People#Hiro Nakamura|previous theory]].
|-
|Despite his encounter in the [[Museum of Natural History]], [[Hiro]] will face a real [[dinosaur]] once he gets the sword. || In [[Isaac's painting]], it looks as Hiro is facing the dinosaur with a naked blade. (''[[Fallout]]'') In the museum, when Hiro faced off against the statue, the sword was still in its scabbard. (''[[Godsend]]'') || In a [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9485 recent interview], writers defended the scene as not being a "cheat" - Isaac painted Hiro swinging a sword at a dinosaur, which was shown in the next episode. Also, the dinosaur painting was Isaac's first without the aid of [[heroin]]. His art may not be as precise/accurate as he develops his ability without using drugs.

==[[The list]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Evidence !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| [[Sylar]] is using a copy of the list to locate his victims. || According to [[Mohinder]], six of the people on the list, including [[James Walker]] and [[Charlie Andrews]], have been killed. (''[[Fallout]]'') || Since [[Sylar]] is specifically targeting [[evolved humans]], it's likely people from [[the list]] would die even if he were using some other method to locate them.
|-
| [[Sylar]] killed [[Chandra Suresh]] to obtain a complete copy of the list. || None || The list [[Mohinder]] obtained in [[Chennai]] was password protected. If [[Chandra ]]did have a copy in [[New York]], and it was also password protected, killing him wouldn't help Sylar to steal it. If Chandra's copy in [[New York]] is contained in the program for [[the algorithm]] like his Chennai copy was, then [[Sylar]] didn't get it&mdash;[[Mohinder]] did.
|-
| [[Sylar]] created his own "better" list using his [[Intuitive aptitude|intuition]]. || [[Mohinder]] notes that [[Sylar]]'s version of [[the map]] is more complete than [[Chandra]]'s (''[[One Giant Leap]]'') || [[Chandra]]'s list was in [[Chennai]]. If [[the algorithm]] [[Mohinder]] found on the flash drive also contained a copy, then [[Sylar]] didn't get it.
|-
| [[Mr. Bennet]] is using a copy of the list. || He has located some of the [[evolved humans]] on the list, notably [[Nathan Petrelli]] (''[[Collision]]'') and [[Matt Parkman]] (''[[One Giant Leap]]'') || However, his organization predates Chandra's research, so if he is using it, it's a recent development. Perhaps prior to Suresh's list the [[AWI]] was merely stumbling across the special people. With the list they could target them far from home where time off wouldn't be missed. Bennet is at least aware of the list but has as much as admitted he does not have a copy of it: he asks [[Mohinder]] if he's on the list. If he had the list, he'd already know the answer. (''[[Godsend]]'')
|-
| [[Felipe Acerra]], not [[Gabriel Gray]], is [[Patient Zero]]. || Felipe is the first name listed on the list. (''[[Homecoming]]'') || There's no indication that the list is sorted in chronological order, so there's no reason to believe Felipe's name being listed first has any special significance. The list could easily be alphabetical, which would put Felipe at or near the top.
|-
| [[The Haitian]] is on the list, but under his real name. || None || Not all of the names are known, so his could well be on there. If he is on the list, it's likely under his name, not his nickname, since no nicknames have been shown on the list.

==[[Mohinder's taxi license]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Evidence !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| [[Mohinder]]'s [[Mohinder's taxi license|taxi license]] is a fake. || None || To acquire such a license in the 36 hours the show leaves him is impossible, and it expires on February 30, 2007. February only has 28 days in 2007...and never has 30 days. The [[Chelsea Cab Company boss]] appeared desperate to hire somebody.
