Theory	Citations	Notes
Noah Gray is actually H.R.G. (Noah Bennet).	None.	+ HRG have no abilities, so he injected himself one, only to find out he became younger and younger. - Sylar was interacting with Noah on an intimate, familial level that would not make sense if this was his work partner, eg making him waffles, turning into a nuclear bomb when he dies, and calling him son. + Noah Gray is blond. + When Peter went to the future, H.R.G. is nowhere to be found. - If Noah was HRG, future Claire wouldn't threaten to shoot him. + She wouldn't know.
Angela was the reason for the birth of "Noah Gray".	In One of Us, One of Them, Angela states that she will "fix" his hunger.	+ Due to Angela's precognitive ability, she can see the future and thus know what will stop Sylar from giving in to his hunger. As Gabriel stated, in I Am Become Death, he does it for his son.
Noah is adopted.	None.	+ There is no evidence of Noah's mother.
Like his father, Noah was an evolved human.	None.	+ Power heredity exists in the Heroes universe.
Noah is the child of Maya and Sylar.	The sex between the two is implied at the end of Truth & Consequences.	+ She and Elle are the only two woman in the series to seem to have loved Sylar. - Noah Gray is as far as I can tell totally Caucasian and shows no sign of being from any other ethnicity. - It is highly doubtful that Maya would forgive Sylar for killing her brother.
Noah is the son of Elle and Sylar.	Noah resembles both of them (He is blond, like Elle, and has brown eyes, like Sylar).	+ Noah is born sometime in 2007, since he is about four years old in 2011. - Elle is dead, and her body was cremated. + Greg Beeman talked about Elle on his blog saying, "There were potential storylines about pregnancies and babies…" This could mean the original intention was for Elle to be the mother of Noah.
Sylar and Claire Bennet will get together--briefly or permanently--resulting in Noah.	Noah resembles them both as well, with Claire's blond hair and Sylar's brown eyes.	+ In The Second Coming, Sylar tells Claire after he takes her power, "You're special... and I couldn't kill you, even if I wanted to," implying that he has fond feelings for her. - What about the fact that he cut her head open and tried to kill her? (Elle is an exception to this as she is certifiably insane) - Also Sylar has tried on multiple occasions to kill her or her dad. It's hardly doubtful HRG would be fine with the union of his 16 year old daughter with a 30 year old man, not to mention he already dislikes and has tried to kill Sylar. + They could get together, in the hunt for the evolved humans, helping each other. - It's still extremely unlikely, seeing that Claire jabbed a shard of glass in his skull and wants him dead for everything he's put her through.
Meredith is the mother of Noah.	None.	+ Meredith is one of several characters who fits the little bit of information we have. She has blond hair, and of all the female characters, she has been hurt the least by Sylar. Also, with both of them working for the company, their paths will cross at some point. - Sylar and Meredith have met; he tried to kill her.
Niki Sanders is the mother of Noah.	Like other characters, Noah has the blond hair of Niki and the brown eyes of Gabriel.	- Niki Sanders is dead. + Many of us Heroes fans are not convinced by that body in the casket. - There are others who are. + Then explain the lack of burns in her "corpse" (with an explosion like that how could an embalmer cover it all up to the point of invisibility?)... + Many fans, whether they are convinced of the wake or not, want Niki to return and since the writers (as I am told) listen to the fans, they could find a way to bring her back (possibly like this).
The timeline where Noah Gray was made will never exist anymore.	None.	+ The year Noah is suppose to be "reproductively made" is now finished. + Elle is the only one Sylar had "intercourse" with in the whole volume and she is now dead. + The timeline disappeared because of the butterfly effects Peter created, after he went to visit the future.
