None	+ The reporter stated he was considering running the story under the headline "Ice Queen Heats up Las Vegas" - It would be impossible for the reporter to know about Tracy's ability before she knew about it, and from the look of shock on her face, this may have been the first time it had manifested. - "Ice Queen" can refer to her personality. - It could also have been foreshadowing on the part of the writers.

Tracy/Nikki/Jessica/Gina are clones. They have some form of mimickry like Peter Petrelli, but can only manifest them by self-cloning. Zimmerman helped her root version (like Julian Dumont)	None.	+ Dr. Zimmerman mistook Tracy for Barbara
Niki/Gina/Jessica/Tracy is one and the same person. A bar might have fallen on Niki, either manifesting her personalities into the three others, or giving her amnesia, a new personality and a new power.

Everyone around her always described her as 'the strong one'. Tracy's power is that of ice, after being repeatedly called 'the ice queen.'	- This could have just been foreshadowing on the part of the writers in these cases
