Theory	Citations	Notes
Eric Doyle and Flint will team up to seek revenge on Sylar.	None.	+ Eric was in love with Meredith. + Meredith was Flint's sister. + They were both incarcerated in Level 5, that could have given them time to know each other. - If Flint knows Eric did what he did to his sister, he might not like him so much, and Flint is short-tempered. + He may not like him, but he would probably like Sylar less and would choose the lesser of two evils. + Is Flint smart enough to consider that? - He's no less smart than he'd have to be to uncover Eric's past deeds. • Flint isn't the smartest crayon in the box, him discovering Eric's past and teaming up with him is unlikely. - It is unlikely that Flint survived the explosion at Pinehearst.
Eric Doyle is somehow related to Matt Parkman or Maury Parkman.	None.	+ Eric has abilities not unlike Matt or Maury. - How is telepathy similar to puppet master? + Eric has similar features to Maury. - They would have mentioned this earlier as both were locked up in Level 5.
Eric Doyle is a misogynist.	None.	+ Eric Doyle tormented no less than four different women in Dying of the Light. To date Doyle has tormented no men. - According to graphic novels and his assignment tracker profile, Doyle was responsible for at least four male deaths: his uncle, his neighbor, a guy who bullied him in school and a complete stranger who cut him in traffic. + These men are all killed coldly and efficiently - his uncle by drowning, his neighbour with a gunshot to the head, the bully with sleeping pills, and the stranger with a car crash. All are simple murders, as opposed to the psychological torture he inflicts on Claire, Sandra, and Meredith. + Eric Doyle rejects Meredith's love. Maybe he never really wanted her to love him, he just wanted to force her to bend to his will? - Eric didn't reject Meredith's love. He just didn't believe her. + Eric Doyle never married, nor has had any known healthy relationship with a woman. Perhaps it's because he hates women.
