Theory	Citations	Notes
Meredith is related or connected to Maarten or Ted Sprague.	None .	+ All three characters create fire. - Ted Sprauge had the ability to create radiation not fire. • Related evolved humans usually don't have the same powers (example: Hawkins family, Peter and Nathan, Claire's family), though some do (Matt and Maury Parkman), while others have related powers (Maya and Alejandro). + Meredith's brother has pyrokinesis.
Meredith is a daughter of Adam Monroe.	None.	+ Adam's regenerative abilities have allowed him to live a lot longer than normal people. So he could be Meredith's father. + Meredith's daughter, Claire, also has Adam's regenerative abilities. + Meredith, her daughter Claire, and Adam all have blond hair. • 2% of the world's population have blond hair. That's over 130 million people, 28.5 times the population of New York. • Adam has been around for 4+ centuries he could be the father of countless numbers of the children so narrowing down to one person without substantial proof is hard to believe. • It might account for how Meredith seems resistant to her powers, like in the scene where she depletes the oxygen supply or how she survived the explosion. Then again it could just be because of her powers.
Meredith will meet up with Peter.	None.	+ In the Dark Future, Peter had fire powers. - Peter has absorbed pyrokinesis from Flint, as seen is I Am Become Death. - The explosion was prevented, so the Dark future will not happen. + That doesn't mean that they won't meet at some point in the future. + Peter is currently injured and with Claire, she'll probably take him to her dad for help, and Meredith is currently working with him.
Meredith and Flint's abilities are different.	None.	+ Flint's fire surrounds his hands were as Meredith's comes from her palm. - By that logic, the powers of Nathan and West are different because we haven't seen West fly as fast as Nathan. • As far as we know they could be Nathan flies very fast and West just floats and hovers very slowly. • We have yet to see Flint survive a lack of oxygen like Meredith did. - Both abilities generate fire. - Flint's power might just be more developed than Meredith's. - In Playing with Fire, Flint says he's been practicing to make it 'extra hot'. • Flint's blue flames suggests that he does not need oxygen to use his power. Meredith's fire uses oxygen as seen in One of Us, One of Them. This may mean Flint could be harmed by a lack of oxygen, making his and Meredith's powers different. • As long as a substance is being burned, oxygen is used up. As blue flames undergo more complete combustion, they actually use up more oxygen than orange flames. + Flint jumps back from the fire that he caused when Peter broke a gas line. If his and Meredith's abilities were the same, why would he have jumped and not run through it? - Regardless of immunity, a small explosion can easily startle someone. {plus}} And this is Flint we're talking about. Gullible would describe him.
