||
:{{note}} Although it's implied that Nathan will become President through the death of the current President, if he's not 35, he would be ineligible and the Presidency would pass down the line of succession.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}}At the end of ''[[Powerless]]'', [[Angela]] appears to be talking to the person who shot [[Nathan]], or someone involved in the shooting.<br /> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
{{plus}} Angela contributed to [[Linderman|Linderman's]] plan.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} ''[[War Buddies, Part 5]]'' implies that Nathan was born before Arthur and Angela ever met Adam.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Angela is a precognitive, she knew that the explosion was unavoidable, and the explosion did happen.<br /> |
|||
{{note}} This is a very ambiguous theory - many characters can be considered [[morally gray]], and it can be argued that Angela has traits of good and evil.<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} On the other hand, Angela has done deeds up to and including plotting mass murder and personally feeding people to Sylar. She is, at best, horribly ruthless with 'good' intentions.<br /> |
|||
::{{minus}} By feeding [[Bridget Bailey|Bridget]] to Sylar she gave him the ability to see the past of an object or person by touching them. When Sylar saved Claire from the [[Gravitational manipulation|vortex]] in ''[[Angels and Monsters]]'' he apparently felt her pain. This could be rewardable to Angela for giving him the ability and therefore slowly transforming him into a human rather than a monster.<br /> |
|||
:::{{plus}} Furthermore, when [[Gabriel Gray (exposed future)|Future Gabriel]] moves into the Bennett residence, he will undoubtedly use his [[clairsentience]] on Claire's former residence and learn of the pain and destruction he had caused within the Bennett family.<br /> |
|||
::{{minus}} Angela showed remorse while Bridget being killed.<br /> |
|||
|- |

||
| ⚫ | | The agents of the [[Company]] do not realize that Angela has a power. || None || {{plus}} When [[Noah]] returns to help find the Level 5 escapees, he states that he needs a partner, saying "You know how it works: One of us, one of them." Angela responds with "I have the perfect one of them in mind."<br /> |
||
| [[Angela Petrelli]] is not really Sylar's mother. || None. || {{plus}} Sylar and Peter being related seems too convenient and makes for a weak twist.<br/> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
{{plus}} Sylar once stated that as a child, he wished someone would tell him that his parents weren't really his parents. This may have been on Sylar's file, which Angela had access to. Sylar would want to believe that someone else in his family has a power.<br /> |
|||
{{ |
{{note}} Angela is one of the company's founders and presumably keeps a low profile.<br /> |
||
{{plus}} Angela has shown a seeming "hypnotism" ability on several occasions, which may or may not be related to her dreams. She could be using this ability to convince Sylar she is his mother, to then manipulate him for some other end.<br /> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
{{plus}} She could have meant this non-literally, as Sylar is now apparently completely dependent on Angela with his powers presumably suppressed (so if Bob were still alive he could potentially say he's Sylar's "father", for example).<br /> |
|||
{{note}} Angela specifically stated "I never should have given you up for adoption."<br/ > |
|||
{{minus}} Gabriel and Peter still seem to be brothers in the future. It is unlikely that Sylar would have gone this long without finding out that he wasn't actually the Petrelli's brother.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} Since Gabriel knew that Peter was actually present day Peter, who has harbored nothing but enmity towards Sylar, he would not have used the term "brother" so strictly if he didn't share blood with Peter.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} In [[Episode:Eris Quod Sum|Eris Quod Sum]], [[Arthur Petrelli|Arthur]] states that Gabriel is his son. |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
| [[Angela Petrelli]] is trying to fulfill the conditions of her [[Precognitive dreaming|prophetic dream]]. || In her dream, [[Sylar]] appears to be defending her against [[Tracy]], [[Maury]], [[Adam]], and [[Knox]]. Awake, she attempts to recruit Sylar after he is captured. (''[[The Butterfly Effect]]'') || {{plus}} Sylar is one of the few characters with the power to combat several other [[evolved human]]s simultaneously. |

:{{minus}} Matt wasn't a Company founder, but Angela was. The Company founders knew where to look for each other for case they needed to contact.<br /> |

{{plus}} Victoria preferred solitude and distanced herself from the other founders, yet Angela knew where to find her. Perhaps after Arthur, she sought companionship. It would explain how she knew about her children.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} [[Adam]] knew about Victoria's whereabouts as well. Does that imply he slept with her? Besides, they were the Company founders.<br /> |

:{{minus}} Sure the Company knew everything about the children of its founders.<br /> |

:{{minus}} A single dance doesn't count as a romance, and nothing suggests Angela at least danced with Victoria.<br /> |
|||
| ⚫ | |||
{{plus}} Angela seemed close to her friend, Millie.<br /> |
|||
:{{minus}} There is no proof they were more than friends. And even if they were more than friends, it doesn't mean that there was ever a relationship between her and Victoria, or even that Victoria was gay.<br /> |

:{{minus}} If a woman has a female friend, does that mean they are lesbians?<br /> |

:{{minus}} Angela wasn't threatening Heidi at all, she was manipulating her.<br /> |

:{{plus}} We've known Angela for a long long time now, we just found out that she has a sister, why not finding out she had a bisexual relationship with Victoria?<br /> |

::{{minus}} Because it's unneeded.<br /> |

:::{{plus}} With all the claims of homophobia regard Heroes due to Zach and April?<br /> |

||
{{ |
{{plus}} Her anger towards him occurred after she found out what he was.<br /> |
||
{{minus}} He was only believed to be dead for less than two years before the start of the first episode. She said she hadn't slept with Kaito for a long time.<br /> |
|||
{{note}} A telepath cannot read a person's mind if they do not know where that person is. The fact that Angela had her first vision of Arthur gave him the chance to strike!<br /> |

:{{minus}} Arthur "died" in the flashback to six months ago in the first Season. Nathan shows up on Peter's doorstep and tells him that "dad died of a heart attack this morning."<br /> |

{{plus}} Kind of like how Maury was only able to trap Molly when she used her ability on him.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Kaito was devoted to his wife, why would he risk Arthur's wrath and her pain by sleeping with Angela?<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} Angela's precognitive dreaming is unlike Molly's ability to locate people physically. To trap Angela in dream requires getting close to her, and Arthur was lying in bed at that time, it makes Maury most likely to be the attacker.<br /> |

{{plus}} Grief is a powerful motivator. Losing their spouses could have caused them to look elsewhere.<br /> |

{{minus}} Angela is not truly in a coma. She is unable to move, yes. But at the end of ''[[Angels and Monsters]]'', her eyes were able to look around frantically, which showed that she was conscious of her state and her surroundings, unlike when Maury was trapped in his nightmare, when he was completely unconscious in real life.<br /> |
|||
{{plus}} Regarding Victoria see points above.<br /> |
|||
{{note}} It was shown that Angela was indeed in a nightmare/dream like Maury was, but it can not be considered from Arthur's telepathy. If anything, this would be from mental manipulation. Telepathy (communicating through thoughts) and mental manipulation (controlling another's mind) should be considered two separate abilities.<br /> |

:{{minus}} Hiro does mention [[Ishi Nakamura|his mother]]. See her page for a list of references.<br /> |

:{{plus}} It is possible she fell out of love with him after she learned that he tried to kill their son.<br /> |
|||
{{minus}} She refers to him as "the man [she] loved".<br /> |
|||
:{{plus}} She could have also pretended she was pregnant with Arthur's child/children, then faked the babies' deaths to the Petrelli family upon their births, and then given them to their real fathers.<br /> |
|||
:{{note}} It's possible that her use of the past tense wasn't referring to the fact that he was dead, but implying that she had fallen out of love with him by the time of his death.<br /> |

:{{minus}} Faking a single pregnancy is difficult, at best. So it seems unlikely that she'd be able to dupe [[Arthur]] multiple times, as he is an accomplished telepath.<br /> |
