Theory	Citations	Notes
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. - Jesus was crucified. Isaac has his head chopped off. The two are not similar. + Super heroes have a tendency to return from the grave in all comic book titles. - In an interview, Santiago Cabrera insisted that Isaac's Christ like 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.
Isaac's powers 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 powers 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.	+ They look similar and we don't know who Ted's parents and Isaac's mother are.
Someone else with the power to paint the future is writing/illustrating the 9th wonders! comic books under Isacc's name.	None	+ Isacc said that 'Hiro in the future' would be the last of the series, while their were clearly at least four after that. + Carlos Mendez might be alive and have the same ability, he could know the importance. + the guys at the comis shop in Kansas now know that Isaac is dead but it doesn't mean the comic is, Isaac had died monthes ago, and the comic was still being published, and people pretending that someone is alive when they're not isn't uncommon. And Carlos may have decided that he had done all he could and revealed isaac's death with some help from someone with illusion to make it look like a heart attack or a break and enter. basically that could have happened or instead of that carlos stepped in and said he was the real Isaac and that Isaac was just the face and they kept publishing and then Carlos died...
