Theory	Citations	Notes
Maury is Uluru.	None	+ In an interview, the writers stated that "we would see a hint of Uluru before the season is over". + Molly states that, if she uses her power to see this person, he can see her back. While using his power, Isaac saw Uluru, and Uluru saw and spoke to Isaac. (Isaac's First Time) + Uluru has been hinted at as a villain for quite some time now. This could be a set-up to Season Two. - Kring confirmed that Uluru only existed in the pages of the comic books.
Maury angered the Company and left his family to keep them from getting involved.	Matt's father left when Matt was thirteen years old. (The Kindness of Strangers)	+ The time Matt's father left would be during the time he was a veteran in the Company. + Molly states that she doesn't want to find Mr. Parkman using her ability because he sees her. This may imply that the Company used her to find him previously, as she would not have reason to use her ability to find him otherwise. + In Fight or Flight, Maury tells Matt that he had to leave, and it was very difficult for him. - Of course, he could have easily been lying about this to cover himself, given that his son was angry and holding a gun on him. - Additionally, after leaving Matt and Nathan in an illusion where they can unintentionally bludgeon each other to death, Maury doesn't strike me as much of a family man.
The entire Heroes world only exists in our heads due to Maury's use of telepathy.	None	+ Nathan, Matt, and Niki had no idea that their visions were a result of Maury Parkman's power. - If this were the case, then no one would have powers including Maury.
Maury was not Matt's birth father.	None	- Their powers are very similar. + It is not confirmed that powers are hereditary. It could just be coincidence. - This would be a very unlikely coincidence, especially since Maury and Matt look like father and son. + None of the other evolved families thus far have had direct inheritance of a similar power. - Perhaps the same power is more likely to be passed on if only one parent has a power. + If James Walker had the same power as Molly, Sylar wouldn't have needed hers. - Perhaps mental powers are more likely to be inherited. One example of this could be the Haitian and Guillame, since their powers are similar. The single parent theory above could also apply to them. + Maury might have left Matt when his son was thirteen because he knew Matt wasn't his, just as Matt left Janice. + Matt's willingness to adopt Molly may be a sign that he was also adopted.
