Theory	Citations	Notes
Danko will somehow acquire an ability of his own, possibly leading to his demise.	None.	+ Danko has referred to those with abilities as 'animals', so his reality would be severely shaken should he become one of "them". + It would be ironic.
Danko originally had abilities, but had a bad experience with other posthumans and ultimately had his abilities stolen by Arthur Petrelli.	"For 20 years I was successful at making people like you not even know that people like them even exist." (Noah) "Do not presume to know anything about me." (Danko)	+ It would explain who Arthur got his telepathy from. + He seems to have a motivation to work against people with abilities that is beyond a strong belief. + Angela talks like she knows Danko, so he may be an old acquaintance of the Petrelli family. + Angela pointed out that Danko was the only one surviving a crash a long time ago. He got a bit nervous and left. - If he was an acquaintance, Nathan would know or remember him. • Maybe he does. He hired nobody other than Danko for his operation. • Did he? Danko seems to have been assigned for the operation by the US government. • Nathan had no idea about anything Arthur and Angela were up to. He couldn't even tell that Linderman was more than a client... so it's easily possible that lesser relations were never seen by Nathan at all.
Danko's family or one of his loved ones was killed by an evolved human.	None.	+ This could be the reason why he hates the evolved human so much.
Danko is going to use the operation's exposure in Exposed to turn the population against evolved humans once their existence is revealed - and then turn them against Nathan stating he is trying to stop evolved humans being contained. Then he will gain control of operations in Washington.	Danko has been shown to take control of things for himself as of Exposed.	+ He has been shown as keen to take matters into his own hands. + He did not seem bothered about the government plans being exposed, perhaps he feels they would be to the team's advantage.
Danko has abilities that he's hiding.	Angela implys that he should not have survived the attack in Angola, to which he replys "You're a very resourceful woman."
