Isaac will eventually come back to life.	None	+ Isaac's death was similar to a crucifixion (the way Christ was killed in the Bible), which could mean that he will eventually show up in the final episodes or future seasons. + Super heroes have a tendency to return from the grave in all comic book titles. - In an interview, Santiago Cabrera insisted that Isaac's Christlike demise was nothing intentional and would have been blasphemous if his legs were together. He goes on saying that it was probably a Da Vinci Code (though he seems to mean Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man) kind of pose -- an extraordinary epic way to go out. - He also says, in the same interview, that Isaac is definitely dead and that it would cheapen the show to bring him back. - The parallel to the crucifixion is probably more along the lines that Isaac willingly gave his life to Sylar, which was something new to our favorite villain.
Isaac is related to Maya and Alejandro. He was their older brother.	None	+ They all speak spanish. One of the men in the Group of twelve photograph was hispanic. + Isaac said to Simone the paintings he made while high, and his power, were 'evil' and repeatedly made statements that indicated his religious convictions mirrored those exhibited by Maya, who also believes her power is a Devil's curse. - Maya and Alejandro's last name is Herrera. Isaac's last name was Mendez. They may only share one parent. - If ethnicity, language, and religious nature are all that's required to show possible relation then Isaac is possibly related to 87% of South and Central America.
Carlos Mendez is the father of Isaac.	None	+ They both share the same last name. + Keeping with the assumption that all members of the group of twelve have, if yet unrevealed, powers, both Carlos and Isaac have powers, which could be a result of heredity.
Isaac's poweres can put a person, physically into a painting.	None	+ Uluru may only exist in Isaac's comic 9th Wonders, as Tim Kring stated. But could it be that Isaac's poweres work deeper than first thought? Isaac's painting of Uluru for the cover of 9th Wonders shows Hiro confronted with Uluru.
Isaac and Ted Sprague are brothers.	None
Isaac's ability allows him to see the past as well as the future	None	+ One of the series of eight paintings depicts Hiro and Adam dueling with swords. This fight took place long before Isaac was born.
