Fan Theories

• Sylar will kill Claire using Tom Miller's power.
• The character from season 1 that Sylar kills will be himself
• Since Danko and his team think she is dead, Tracy will go to New Orleans and take on Niki's identity so as to avoid being caught again.
• Sylar is going to try and meet the president and touch him so he can shapeshift into him and assume control. Nathan will try and stop him.
• Sylar will kill Danko, assume Nathan's identity and take control over the operation - without actually killing Nathan. However, he still may do it later.
• Neither Nathan nor Sylar will die.
• Sylar will kill off Nathan Petrelli.
  • Sylar will kill Nathan, but Peter will copy Sylar's powers during their fight, and Peter will then use shape-shifting to take his brother's place, not Sylar.
  • Sylar will kill Nathan, and use his new shape shifting ability to pose as him.
• This will be a Rebel-centric episode about how he is connected to every hero/villain like an invisible thread on Future Hiro's map of encounters each hero has made with another.
• The title refers to the string web, and how something unexpected will have to happen to stop a planned event from happening.
• Claude will show up in this episode.
  • Claude will help Peter.
  • Claude will be helping Micah as rebel, being an 'invisible thread' controlling things in person.
• We will begin to see the future from "Five Years Gone". Sylar will gain the right powers.
• Claude will return and he will seek revenge against HRG by kidnapping Claire.
• Barbara will show up as a villain, with an ability related to water, at the intro to Volume 5.
  • Her power will be controlling weather.
  • The new female "baddie" is Barbara.
• All of the heroes will meet up in this episode, and each go on their own mission to put an end to the Hunter's plans.
• Sylar and Peter will have a fight, and Sylar will die, though he will not be killed by Peter.
  • HRG will shoot Sylar in the back of the head while Sylar and Peter are fighting.
• Sylar and Peter will take each other out at the same time.
• The specials will be revealed to the general public, creating an X-Men-like world where the specials are hated and feared by the general public.
• This episode will be part of Volume 5: Redemption.
• This episode will focus on Danko and will explain his past and the reason for his hatred of evolved humans.
• Danko will be killed by a familiar invisible friend.
• The new female "baddie" will be Sparrow Redhouse.
• The new female "baddie" will be Claire in a similar form from the exposed future.
• The new female "baddie" is Alice.
  • Alice will use her ability to threaten the world.
• Tracy, having escaped by melting through the vent in the parking garage, will fight her sister, but neither of them will win and they will have to schedule a rematch.
• Micah and Monica will help Peter along with Claude.
• The "minus one" will be Noah, killed by somebody while trying to protect Claire.
  • The "minus one" would be Tracy as Ali Larter was not seen in the photos from the full cast scenes, yet Jack Coleman was.
• Claire will start down her path as Future Claire and start by wanting to kill her uncle because Noah died trying to protect him.
• Claude will be the one killed by Sylar and he will gain invisibility like he expressed to Peter that he wanted.
• Claire will be the major death, since Hayden Panettiere's aging is conflicting with her character's agelessness.
  • Claire has already been confirmed as a major part of Volume 5
• The beginning of Volume 5 will start off a few years later and will be similar to the Five Years Gone future.
• Sylar will kill Angela. All the heroes will reunite at her funeral.
• The major death will be Angela.
• The new female "baddie" will be Kimiko and she will kill Ando, putting Hiro on the path to becoming Future Hiro.
  • Kimiko will not be the female "baddie" introduced, but she will be part of a group of "baddies" in Redemption
  • The duel between Ando and Hiro wouldn't take place then; not likely.
  • The future is always changing, so Ando might very well die.
• Peter will replicate all of Sylar's abilities, and he will fight him, Sylar using telekinesis and Peter electric manipulation. Sylar will take the upper hand but then Nathan will try to save Peter and Sylar will kill him.
• The unexpected female baddie will be Elle since before Elle's deathe there was a spoiler saying that Blonde in a new cutie pie relationship will die, buts its a cover up, shes still breathing.
  • That was most likely referring to Daphne's supposed death in Trust and Blood.
• The producers said that Claude would not appear in Fugitives, however he could appear in the preview for the next volume, Redemption
• Sylar will Shape-shift into Peter and then will find Claude, and then will end up killing him and taking his power, but Peter then finds Claude being killed and then Peter copies Claude's power before his killed.
• The Redemption preview will feature Barbara using her ability to control water to reform Tracy from her melted state, wanting her sister to join her.
  • Tracy will refuse, and spend the Redemption volume trying to stop Barbara to make up for her past.
  • Alice already has the power to control the weather, so I don't think they'll introduce another person with that ability for a while; if at all.
  • That's why I said she will control water. I didn't say Barbara will control the weather.
• Barbara will be revealed as Noah Gray's mother.
• Nathan will be killed by Sylar, who will look like Nathan in an attempt to fool Peter, but Matt will use his telepathy to transfer Nathan's mind into Sylar's, thus turning Sylar into Nathan and keeping him alive in a way.
