<span id="Mr. Bennet"> </span>

==[[Mr. Bennet|Bennet, Mr.]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Mr. Bennet's first name is something that forms the initials "[[glossary|HRG]]".|| None ||
{{note}} Tim Kring's original script for the pilot listed this character's name only as "H.R.G." — standing for Horn-Rimmed Glasses.
|-
| Mr. Bennet's full name is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin Benjamin] Bennet. || None ||
{{plus}} In an [http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9637 interview] it was stated that Mr. Bennet's first name was biblical.

{{plus}} Alliteration is also a common comic book concept. <br>
{{note}} Examples: Peter Petrelli, Gabriel Gray, Corinthian Casino.

<span id="Mr. Bennet's boss"> </span>

==[[Mr. Bennet's boss|Bennet's Boss]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Mr. Bennet's boss is [[Mr. Linderman]]. || None ||
{{plus}} Linderman is [[character connections#Mr. Linderman|connected]] to most of the other characters in some way.

{{plus}} Mr. Bennet and the Haitian were able to get into Nathan's [[Montecito|hotel room]] easily and the casino staff were rather blasé about a guest disappearing from their room.
|-
| Mr. Bennet's boss is [[Mr. Nakamura]]. || Kaito Nakamura is affiliated with the [[Company]], and is at least higher up in the organization. He was the one who gave [[Claire Bennet|Claire]] to [[Mr. Bennet]] to raise. (''[[Company Man]]'') ||
{{note}} Nakamura runs a large corporation.

{{minus}} Kaito is most likely not the individual that Bennet was speaking with in ''[[Fallout]]'' since Bennet was speaking in English. So far, Kaito has only been seen conversing with others in Japanese.
|-
| Mr. Bennet's boss is someone in the [[Deveaux Society]]. || None ||
{{note}} Relatively little is known about the Deveaux Society.

{{plus}} [[Claude]], [[Mr. Bennet]], [[Mr. Nakamura]] and [[Thompson]] meet to hand over [[Claire]] on the Deveaux rooftop (''[[Company Man]]'').
|}

<span id="Sandra Bennet">

==[[Sandra Bennet|Bennet, Sandra]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Sandra's condition is caused by repeatedly being subjected to [[The Haitian]]'s power. If her health continues to degenerate, [[Mr. Bennet]] will eventually be discovered and forced to reveal the truth about his organization. || Sandra looks visibly ill when she returns from the doctor (''[[Run!]]''). She further shows evidence of unexplained brain hemorrhaging. (''[[Unexpected]]''). || Sandra's memory of [[Claire]] and [[Mr. Muggles]] is temporarily erased (''[[Unexpected]]'').
Events in ''[[Company Man]]'' corroborate this theory.
*Mr. Bennet considers himself responsible for her illness.
|-
| [[Sandra Bennet|Sandra]]'s condition was caused by the blow to the head that she suffered from [[Sylar]]'s attack or another blow that [[The Haitian|the Haitian]] had erased from her memory so she did not seek appropriate medical treatment. || The [[Beth Lindall|doctor]] reviewing Sandra's case to [[Claire]] asks if she has been battered or suffered a serious blow. (''[[Run!]]'') ||
*As [[Sylar]] approaches Sandra to finish her off, he unexpectedly pauses (''[[Distractions]]''). He possibly saw what was "broken" and was distracted.

<span id="Charles Deveaux"> </span>

==[[Charles Deveaux|Deveaux, Charles]]==
{| class ="wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Charles has a power similar to [[Sanjog]]'s, like a sort of "spirit guide". || Peter had a dream about Charles around the same time Charles died. (''[[Nothing to Hide]]'') || Peter's dream was most likely his power of empathy in action; he connected with Charles' feelings and emotions.
|-
| Charles had the power of [[wikipedia:Astral projection|astral projection]]. || None || Charles was in a coma for an extended period and in some depictions, "astral travelers" become unconscious as their mind travels elsewhere. Charles also said that while asleep he had been flying around the world and seeing things happening. The accounts of those who claim to have experienced astral projection are very similar to this description.
|-
| Charles Deveaux was an agent of the [[Company]]. || Several agents of the Company meet on his rooftop in a flashback. (''[[Company Man]]'') || [[Mr. Bennet]] later recognizes the [[Charles Deveaux's rooftop|rooftop of the Deveaux building]] in one of [[Isaac's painting]], indicating that he knew of the building and had been there before. (''[[Unexpected]]''). Claude also would be able to hide in plain sight (so to speak) while he was up there, since the last place the Company would look for him is right under their noses.
|-
| Charles was a member of a disbanded group that helped [[evolved humans]]. || None || There was possibly a group of humans who helped evolved humans. Other members could have been [[Linderman]] and [[Thompson]]. When they disbanded, they created their own groups: the Linderman Group, [[The Company]], and The [[Deveaux Society]].
|}

==[[Jumpsuit]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| The Exterminator works for [[Mr. Bennet]], and his appearance was a ruse for Mohinder to meet, and trust, Eden. || Eden was planted by Mr. Bennet, and the gun the exterminator uses is the same style as the weapon Eden attempted to use on Sylar. {{epp|102}} ||
|-
| The Exterminator is an [[Evolved human]] with [[enhanced strength]] similar to [[Jessica]].|| In ''[[Don't Look Back]]'', he shows an abnormally high pain threshhold, and super-human kicking strength.||When [[Mohinder]] hits the Exterminator over the head with a large metal elephant statue, it only knocks him to the ground, instead of rendering him unconscious or dead. <br><br>Also, after he is knocked to the ground, as Mohinder approaches him, he does a kick into Mohinder that launches him backwards across the room, some 20 feet or so, similar to the exhibitions of strength we have seen Jessica perform.
|-

<span id="Mr. Linderman"> </span>


<span id="Ando Masahashi"> </span>

==[[Ando Masahashi|Masahashi, Ando]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Ando has the power to focus or amplify other people's powers. || None || Every time Hiro uses his powers near Ando, Hiro is able to do what he wants. When Hiro is not near Ando his powers are unpredictable. Also, when Isaac was around Ando, he was able to paint the future successfully without drugs. {{minus}} When Hiro attempts to go back in time and save Charlie (''[[Seven Minutes to Midnight]]''), he moves back far further than the day he intended to, despite his proximity to Ando.

* If Ando's ability is just developing it might explain this though, or that Ando did not want Hiro to save Charlie.

*Alternatively, Hiro's power may have been amplified too much.
{{minus}} Ando is next to Hiro at the [[Museum of Natural History]], and Hiro is only able to slow time, not completely stop it (''[[Godsend]]'').

* Hiro's powers were very weak, and perhaps slowing time was the peak of his abilities at that moment.
|-
| Ando has some kind of power involving the control of objects in motion. || Ando is nearby when the bullet from Hope's gun stops and then goes back into the barrel, causing it to "backfire". (''[[Unexpected]]'') ||
{{minus}} Hiro was also near the gun, and was actively concentrating, and has reversed time in the past. (''[[Genesis]]'')

{{minus}} Ando has shown no other examples of using any powers.

{{minus}} Ando told [[Peter]] that he does not have any powers. (''[[Homecoming]]'')
|-
| Ando has the ability to speak the future. ||None || There are many instances where Ando's offhand utterances later turn out to be true. In a recent episode, he says that he and Hiro need to find hope, only to meet a woman named [[Hope]] moments later. This observation may simply be a device the writers have used to play up the need for Ando's character since Hiro learned English, or, more likely, to play up Hiro's quest for destiny.
|-

<span id="Kaito Nakamura"> </span>

==[[Kaito Nakamura|Nakamura, Kaito]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Mr. Nakamura has powers. ||None || The Petrellis', Micah Sanders's and Claire Bennet's abilities have been [[power heredity|inherited]]. If this is consistent, Mr. Nakamura also has powers.
|-
| Mr. Nakamura is the head of the [[Company]]. || He seems to have incredible sway over other members of the Company (''[[Company Man]]''). He also is known to have significant resources at his disposal, given how easily he monitors and abducts [[Hiro]] and [[Ando]] (''[[Distractions]]''). || Some members of the Company speak Japanese, possibly having learned the language at the orders Mr. Nakamura.
|-
| Mr. Nakamura has been hiding [[Hiro]] from the Company. || Mr. Nakamura tells Mr. Bennet he will have to turn over Claire when and if she manifests a power. (''[[Company Man]]'') || Mr. Nakamura has not turned over Hiro to the Company. It is possible Mr. Nakamura does not know that Hiro has powers. Hiro himself didn't know he had powers until recently.
|-
| Mr. Nakamura's organization is a competitor to Linderman's organization. ||None || Mr. Nakamura's organization is powerful and well funded. Linderman's people act independently of the Company, and no one associated with Linderman has the tracking marks.||
|-
|}

<span id="Kimiko Nakamura"> </span>

==[[Kimiko Nakamura|Nakamura, Kimiko]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Kimiko has powers. ||None || If Micah and Claire Bennet [[power heredity|inherited]] thier powers, then it makes sense that all the Nakamuras also have powers.
|}

<span id="Janice Parkman"> </span>

==[[Janice Parkman|Parkman, Janice]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| The father of Janice's baby is not Matt. || Janice has been having an affair with [[Tom McHenry]]. (''Seven Minutes to Midnight'') || Janice and Matt have been having many marital problems. The time when she discovered she was pregnant could fit together with the time when she was sleeping with Tom. Also, Janice always seems to be very tense when Matt is around and when he is reading her thoughts, although that could be she is just busy censoring her thoughts for privacy.

On the other hand, she specifically requested that he read her mind about the baby rather than simply telling him about it, which could be read as evidence that she at least ''believes'' the baby to be Matt's.
|-
| Nathan is the father of Janice's baby. ||None ||
|-
| The father of Janice's baby is neither Matt nor Tom. ||None || Matt and Tom look nothing alike. She seems to have a thing for very dissimilar men.
|}

<span id="Angela Petrelli"> </span>

==[[Angela Petrelli|Petrelli, Angela]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Angela knows [[Claude]]. || Angela is caught shoplifting socks (''[[Genesis]]''). Her son [[Peter]] meets a man who uses [[invisibility]] to sort of frame him for purse snatching (''[[Distractions]]''). ||
{{note}}Claude has behaved as if he encountered people like Peter before &mdash; even helped them understand their powers. Perhaps those people include Angela and/or Peter's [[Mr. Petrelli|father]].
|-
| Angela Petrelli has powers. || None ||
{{plus}} Both the Petrelli boys have super powers and [[Claire]] has powers because her father [[Nathan Petrelli]] and mother have super powers.
{{note}} If there is a link between the mother and the passing on of the abilities, it is possible, since all mitochondrial DNA comes from the mother, that this is the key to expressed abilities.
|-
| Angela Petrelli may be clairvoyant. || None||
{{note}}When Nathan Petrelli had his accident, Peter Petrelli somehow knew about it the moment it happened. Since Peter's abilities are derived from people he knows or has met, he may have been tapping into her clairvoyance.
|-
| Angela Petrelli knows about her sons' abilities. ||None||
{{note}}When Peter Petrelli told his mother he knew about Nathan's accident the moment it happened, she may have recognized this as her own ability, and deduced that Peter had somehow tapped into her clairvoyance.
|-
| Angela Petrelli is an agent of the [[Company]], who was partnered with Mr. Petrelli. || Claire was given to surrogate parents until she manifested. ((''[[Company Man]]'') ||
{{note}}It is possible that Peter and Nathan were given to the care of Angela and Mr. Petrelli in the same manner as Claire.
{{note}}She knows [[the Haitian]].
|-
| She and the Haitian are working for an organization against the [[Company]], which is a powerful ancient/ancestral organization that has existed for ages. || The Haitian wears the "Godsend" [[symbol]] around his neck, which he has been wearing since before he met [[Mr. Bennet]]. (''[[Company Man]]'') Further, the Haitian does not comply with Mr. Bennet's order to make Claire forget. (''[[Fallout]]'') ||
{{note}}The Haitian clearly says he answers to someone outside the Company, whose orders supersede Bennet's (''[[Company Man]]''). It can be alleged that only an extremely powerful organization can supersede the Company.
{{minus}}The person whose orders supersede Bennet's is Angela Petrelli, Claire's grandmother (''[[Parasite]]''). She supersedes Bennet's orders by being actual family, instead of an (just) an adoptive father.

{{minus}}Though he is in an alliance with Angela, he does not clearly indicate that she is outside the Company.
{{note}}Angela goes through great lengths to protect Claire by keeping her away for her biological family.

<span id="Simon Petrelli"> </span><span id="Monty Petrelli"> </span>

==[[Monty Petrelli|Petrelli, Monty]] and [[Simon Petrelli|Simon]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| It is possible that Monty and Simon might have [[powers]] inherited from [[Nathan]]. || [[Micah]] is a second-generation [[evolved human]], as is [[Claire Bennet]]. [[Nathan]] and [[Peter]] are evolved siblings. ||
*[[Molly Walker]], the daughter of an evolved human, has not yet demonstrated any superhuman ability, although [[Hiro's blog#Bound by Death and Luck|references]] by [[Hiro]] in [[Heroes 360]] suggest that Molly Walker is more important than she seems.
*Children of evolved parents tend to exhibit their powers earlier.
|}

<span id="Mr. Petrelli"> </span>

==[[Mr. Petrelli|Petrelli, Mr.]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|Petrelli is the founder of [[the Company]]. || None || [[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 ||He kept winning in the card games in [[War Buddies]].
|-
| 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 probably aware of the recent evolutionary developments.{{epp|101}} ||
|-
| [[Mr. Petrelli]] is not dead, but in hiding from [[Mr. Linderman]], possibly as a part of the [[Wikipedia:United_States_Federal_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 fathers passing, like [[Charles Deveaux]]'s or [[Nathan's accident]]. Their mother stated that Nathan was the one who found his father dead.({{epp|101}}, (''[[Six Months Ago]]'') || Peter's not sensing his father's death could be explained by his powers just developing or lack of emotional contact with his father; however, since Peter's father supposedly committed suicide after [[Nathan's accident]], he had already experienced his first [[vision]].

{{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.

{{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.

{{minus}}Adrian Pasdar stated in an [http://www.eonline.com/gossip/kristin/detail/index.jsp?uuid=3f306829-8ded-419a-918e-0792a5219a12 interview] that Mr. Petrelli is in fact dead: "And [the question of] how [my father] died is something that gets answered in 22. It wasn't Sylar, but it's not what we were told. He turns out to be somebody we don't expect."
|-
| Linderman orchestrated Mr. Petrelli's death to look like a suicide. ||None || 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."
|-
| 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|| Children with powers often seem to be placed in 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 AWI 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.
|-
| Petrelli did not have delusions of grandeur. His suicide was a way to make Linderman's healing power public. || In "War Buddies", it is revealed that Linderman had healing powers. At the end, Petrelli decides to report the truth, but Linderman denies everything about his healing powers. Linderman states he might be delusional. || 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.

<span id="Mohinder Suresh"> </span>

==[[Mohinder Suresh|Suresh, Mohinder]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| [[Mohinder]] has lived in the US prior to [[Genesis]]. || Mohinder has a [[Mohinder's taxi license|license]] to drive a taxi cab. To acquire such a license in the 36 hours the show leaves him is impossible. Therefore he must have acquired the license, or at least its prerequisites, at a previous date. || Mohinder may have been awarded the license illegally. Mohinder's license expires on a day that doesn't exist. It's probably a fake, but this could merely be a production gaffe.
|}

<span id="Shanti Suresh"> </span>
==[[Shanti Suresh|Suresh, Shanti]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-

| Shanti Suresh had the ability to morph her body into stone. |||| When Mohinder remembered his father's reference to having a heart of stone in [[Homecoming]], he tried to think of a connection between the phrase and the password to view [[the list]] on Chandra's computer, and put in Shanti. ||
|}

==[[Thompson]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Thompson is the [[The Company leader|leader]] of the party that tries to apprehend [[Ted Sprague]] in the graphic novel [[Graphic Novel:How Do You Stop an Exploding Man?, Part 2|...exploding man, part 2]]. || The man's face, especially on page 4, bears a resemblance to that of [[Eric Roberts]], who portrays Thompson. The GN also made a point to indicate that the leader escaped from the explosion that killed his team. ||
|-
|}

<span id="Molly Walker"> </span>

==[[Molly Walker|Walker, Molly]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| [[Sylar]] believes Molly is an [[evolved human]] ||None|| It's not yet clear what Sylar's interest in Molly or her parents is. Sylar only murders to [[power theft|steal]] powers. [[Mohinder Suresh]] mentioned James Walker when listing those his father believed to have powers. Power heredity occurs frequently to other characters.

[[Hiro Nakamura]] said in a coded email to Hana that he "found Molly Walker and will find others" as part of the Heroes 360 Experience.

Sylar could have been taking Molly somewhere to take out her brain in seclusion and away from security.
|-
| Molly might have the ability to amplify powers, thus making her a highly desirable target for Sylar. || This would explain Matt's ability to hear thoughts from well outside the house, at a time when his powers were new and unfocused. {{epp|102}} ||
|-
| Molly will be seen in episode 20, "[[String Theory]]" ||None ||
|-
| Molly will be a character in Season 2. ||None || The email response to those who figure out the puzzle on [[Hiro's blog]] specifically mentions Molly.
|}

<span id="Mrs. Walker"> </span>

==[[Mrs. Walker|Walker, Mrs.]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
|Mrs. Walker's first name is ambisexual. || [[Sylar]] has only directly [[Sylar's victims|killed]] women with ambisexual first names: [[Charlie]], [[Jackie]], and [[Dale]]. ||
|}

==[[Zach]]==
{| class= "wikitable"
|-
! width="40%" | Theory !! width="30%" | Citations !! width="30%" | Notes
|-
| Zach has an unknown ability. ||None ||
|-
| Zach is killed because of [[Claire]]. ||None ||
|-
| Zach has deeper feelings for Claire. ||None|| He seemed to care for her a great deal before his memories were erased. ||
|-
| Zach will be the one who eventually saves Claire, possibly with his theoretical ability. || None || [[Claire]] has already been saved once, by [[Peter Petrelli]] in ''[[Episode:Homecoming|Homecoming]]''. When Claire asks if this fulfills the [[The Message|prophecy]], [[The Haitian]] simply responds that she is saved "for now."
|-
| Zach is actually Claire's twin brother. He knows it, but she doesn't. ||None|| He won't date her and yet tries to be very close to her. ||
|-
| Zach is actually Claire's twin brother, but neither knows it yet. ||None || They were childhood friends. He can't remember where he heard of Kermit Texas. He has had his memory erased once, and possibly more than once. When he and Claire start hanging out again, Mr. Bennet appears both suspicious and interested in Claire being nice to Zach. The newspaper article about the fire that supposedly killed Claire's real mom mentioned only a daughter. However, the whole accident, the alleged deaths, and the separation of the parties was clearly part of a conspiracy.
|-
| Zach "remembers" [[Kermit, TX]] because he and Claire had previously tried to find her parents and the Haitian took their memories ||None ||
