{{theoryheader|sort=Petrelli, Mr.}} |
|||
|Mr. Petrelli has a [[power]] related with probability.|| None. || {{note}}He kept winning in the card games. (''[[War Buddies, Part 2]]''). |
|||
|- |
|||
|Mr. Petrelli has the [[power]] of immortality.|| Angela Petrelli states that Mr. Petrelli thought he was invincible. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'')||{{plus}}Angela's comment suggests that he was in some way resistant to death, but as he is (most likely) dead, he was clearly not immune to injury. Perpetuity would explain both these facts.<br>{{minus}} Petrelli knew Linderman had the healing power, so any physical injury could always be healed. Perpetuity isn't necessary and is likely not the case, since he seems to have eventually died. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli has no powers || None || {{plus}} In ''[[War Buddies]]'', Mr. Petrelli displays no powers.<br> {{Minus}} The photo shown in ''[[The Kindness of Strangers]]'' showed Mr. Petrelli in the presence of a [[group of twelve|group of people]], some of whom have displayed powers.<br> |
|||
{{Minus}} Linderman told Nathan that Mr. Petrelli had "great power". |
|||
|- |
|||
| [[Mr. Petrelli]] is not dead, but in hiding from [[Mr. Linderman]], possibly as a part of the [[Wikipedia: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 father's passing, like [[Charles Deveaux]]'s or [[Nathan's accident]]. Their mother stated that Nathan was the one who found his father dead.(''[[Genesis]]'', ''[[Six Months Ago]]''). || |
|||
{{note}}Since Peter's father supposedly committed suicide after [[Nathan's accident]], he had already experienced his first [[vision]].<br> |
|||
{{minus}}This theory requires that nobody other than those in on the fake suicide had seen Mr. Petrelli's body or that they were somehow able to produce what appeared to be his body.<br> |
|||
{{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.<br> |
|||
:{{plus}}It could be that the previous attempts at suicide were genuine, and that they were exploited to add weight to the claim that he had committed suicide. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli died and has become [[Uluru]]. || None || {{note}} [[Linderman]] tells [[Nathan]] that his father possessed great power. [[Angela Petrelli]] tells [[Peter]] that his father thought he was indestructible. It has been suggested that Uluru is indestructible. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Linderman orchestrated Mr. Petrelli's death to look like a suicide. ||None. || {{note}}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 prosecute him to being a "candidate in his pocket." <br> |
|||
{{minus}}It is implied that his father's death was one of the main motivations for Nathan to begin working with the FBI to bring Linderman down. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli was killed because he was about to reveal company secrets to the public. ||None. || {{note}}Children with powers are sometimes placed with 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 Company 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. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli did not have delusions of grandeur. His suicide was a way to make Linderman's healing power public. || Linderman has [[healing]] power. Mr. Petrelli decided to report the truth, but Linderman denies everything about his healing powers. Linderman states he might be delusional. (''[[War Buddies, Part 5]]'') || {{note}}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.<br>{{plus}}Although Linderman said that Petrelli was delusional, it was clear that he wasn't (at that time).<br>{{minus}}It was stated by [[Angela Petrelli]] that Mr. Petrelli had major depressive disorder. She went on saying that this disorder can start from delusions of grandeur--thinking you're invincible or indestructible. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'')<br>{{minus}}Linderman claiming that Petrelli was delusional could have merely been a reference to Petrelli's illness. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr Petrelli faked his death, for the plans of the company to come to pass. || None. || |
|||
|- |
|||
| Isaac painted the death-scene of Mr. Petrelli in the 8 of 8, not [[Noah Bennet]]. || In the portrait of the [[group of twelve]], he is shown with horn-rimmed glasses and short cut hair similar to that of Mr. Bennet. {{epp|204}} || {{plus}} In the picture of [[Group of twelve]], Mr. Petrelli is shown wearing horn-rimmed glasses, and with a similar profile as Noah.<br>{{minus}} Petrelli is already dead.<br>{{minus}} Claire is behind the victim, kissing an unknown figure, making it more logical that the dead man in the painting is Mr. Bennet, not Mr. Petrelli. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli is Mr. Bennet's biological father || Noah Bennet's father needed glasses. (''[[Company Man]]'') <br /> Mr. Petrelli needed glasses and apparently wore a horn-rimmed version. (''[[The Kindness of Strangers]]'') || {{plus}} All of Mr. Petrelli's sons (if you include Noah) are [[Faith and religion#Names of Biblical Reference|named after prominent Biblical characters]]. |
|||
|- |
|||
| [[Mr. Petrelli]] is not dead. || None || {{plus}}The show has gone on for some time since the announcement of his death with excruciating labor not to provide evidence that he's dead. There has been no reference to his body, his funeral, or his grave. Nobody is known to have seen him dead. When TV shows do that with characters it's only for one reason, to hold out the possibility of surprising the audience with the shocking news that the character is still alive. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Mr. Petrelli is the [[Hooded killer]] || {{note}}Angela Petrelli states that Mr. Petrelli thought he was invincible. (''[[Don't Look Back]]'')<br>{{note}}Mr. Linderman reveals to Nathan that his father was "someone with great power." (''[[Landslide]]'')||{{note}}He might have faked a suicide to cover-up for going into hiding. Whether he is dead or not is still highly ambiguous. <br>{{plus}}He is one of the [[Group of twelve]], and probably has a 'great' power.<br>{{plus}}[[Angela Petrelli]] then has a valid reason to save/protect the hooded killer. She is also the only one who is aware of the way Mr. Petrelli "died" (heart attack/suicide/DID NOT die!)<br>{{minus}}This would take the final living number (before Kaito died) back to 10, breaking a possible link to the number 9. {{note}}that number 9 does not mean much. Kaito could have been wrong with the number of people from Group of 12 who were alive.<br>{{plus}}Before he dies, Kaito says "Of all of them, I never expected it would be you" . This could be because he thought Mr. Petrelli was dead. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Arthur's [[power]] is weather manipulation. || None. || {{plus}} During [[Bob]]'s explanation to [[Nathan Petrelli|Nathan]] about the strong influence [[Adam Monroe|Adam]] has on people, he talks about a snowstorm that was for Nathan and could've easily been a tsunami, insinuating that Arthur was the creator of the snowstorm. |
|||
{{plus}}A newspaper clippings on [[:Image:Interactive_map_extracted.jpg|the map]] reads "'Rain' Man Saves Town from Drought". |
|||
|- |
|||
| Arthur attempted to kill himself because Linderman could always heal him, but Linderman let him die. || None. || {{plus}} Linderman has the power of healing. Arthur thought he was invincible. Arthur could have theoretically been seeing how far he could push himself to the edge and have Linderman bring him back. It would explain his attempted suicides, and why he was meeting with Linderman on the night of his death. |
|||
|- |
|||
| Arthur and [[Adam Monroe|Adam]] are the same individuals. || None. || {{plus}} Images taken from photograph of the [[group of twelve]] in the episode, [[Out of Time]] look similar to how [[Adam Monroe|Adam]] looks. Speculation also links Arthur and Adam to the same events. <br> {{minus}} Mr. Petrelli showed no powers, nor any awareness to the existence of evolved humans in War Buddies. If he were Adam, then he would have discovered his healing abilities hundreds of years ago. <br> {{minus}} In ''[[Four Months Ago]]'', [[Peter Petrelli]] shows no signs of recognition when he finally meets [[Adam Monroe]] face to face. If Adam were Peter's father, Peter should have had a stronger reaction to meeting him. |
