Theory	Citations	Notes
Usutu does not have the ability of precognition. He gains it artificially.	None.	+ Matt seems to enter a trance after consuming Usutu's paste, and then listening to Usutu's walkman. Usutu might use the same paste to make his drawings. - Usutu has not been shown eating his own paste.
Part of Usutu's ability is to allow others to experience his visions.	Matt has a vision of the future after eating Usutu's paste and listening to his walkman.	- Since Usutu's visions have been mainly focused on Matt, perhaps only Matt is able to experience them. This might also only be possible because of Matt's telepathy. + The food and walkman may only be necessary to put Matt's mind in the right state of consciousness, much like Isaac's heroin, but Usutu is able to access his ability without them. Matt may have to be in Usutu's presence to channel his vision. - The turtle may be giving Matt his vision and not Usutu.
Usutu's mention of "the dark son rises" is a reference to Gabriel or Peter.	Usutu speaks this in Eris Quod Sum.	+ This is potentially double-speak, and literally could mean the "Dark Son" - He could have said SUN and not SON, meaning an eclipse. + Both men are Arthur's sons, and have reasons to be considered 'evil'. - It could also refer to Nathan, who is Gabriel's and Peter's brother, turning "dark". Nathan "rises" when he uses his ability to fly. + It could be symbolic of Sylar (the dark son) rising to goodness, like an ascension to the ways of a hero.
Usutu is not dead.	None.	+ Arthur could be putting images in Hiro and Ando's minds, just like Matt did with Knox.
