Theory	Citations	Notes
Alejandro is the key to curing the Shanti virus.	None.	• This is all dependent on whether or not Maya has the power to release the Shanti virus. - It has not been shown that Alejandro's ability works on anything other than Maya's ability. + He is the only one who is able to reverse what Maya did in Lizards. + In Maya y Alejandro, the narration states that mutations almost always come about for the benefit of the species. In this case, Alejandro will counteract the virus. - Mohinder has already proven that he is able to cure victims of the virus with his blood. + Alejandro could still be able to cure it along with Mohinder. + Mohinder cannot cure the virus any longer. Alejandro may now be the one they need. • While this theory might still be true, it is unlikely that it'll see any fruition since Alejandro is dead.
Isaac is related to Maya and Alejandro. He was their older brother.	None.	+ They all speak spanish. One of the men in the Group of twelve photograph was hispanic. + Isaac said to Simone the paintings he made while high, and his power, were 'evil' and repeatedly made statements that indicated his religious convictions mirrored those exhibited by Maya, who also believes her power is a Devil's curse. - Maya and Alejandro's last name is Herrera. Isaac's last name was Mendez. They may only share one parent. - Hispanic ancestry does not make them related. Otherwise, the same logic would make Hiro, Ando and Yaeko all be related to each other.
Alejandro and Maya's father is the hispanic gentleman in the Group of Twelve.	None.	+ There is an hispanic gentleman pictured. They currently have no ties to any other characters (except Sylar). It is likely that there is a connection such as this to the larger ensemble. - The man's name is Carlos Mendez, so is more likely Isaac's father than the Herreras.
Alejandro understands enough English to have understood what Sylar said to him in The Line.	None.	+ If Maya knows English, it's not so unlikely that her twin brother who goes everywhere understands at least some English. + Alejandro seemed far too attentive for someone who did not understand what was being said - he looked like he understood every word. - If he understood what Sylar said, then why hasn't he told Maya? Holding it in wouldn't help his situation. It is more likely that Alejandro's attention was caught by non-verbal cues of Sylar's (eye contact, menace in voice, fake smile, etc.), rather than his words, and it is on that basis that he does not trust him. + Alejandro spoke some English to Sylar. (Truth & Consequences)
Alejandro can read English.	None.	+ Alejandro shows Maya the newspaper article about Sylar (in english). - He probaby would have said something when Sylar told him he was going to kill both him and Maya. + One needn't be able to speak/understand the spoken form of a language in order to read it. Within some areas of Central/South America, ESL is taught in the "Grammar Translation Method," which emphasizes the written form and translation over speaking and social comprehension. - Alejandro may have noticed the word "murder" written in the article. Such key words are enough without being able to actually read the language.
Alejandro has no power.	None.	+ It seems like all he does is calm his sister down by either praying or singing, and it was shown that Maya can control it as long as she can remain calm herself. - If this were true, then he would have died at his wedding with everyone else. + Due to him being the twin of Maya, he contains an immunity to the Poison emission, however he does not have any actual ability to suppress it. - Alejandro's eyes darken while reversing the effects of his sister's ability. He is probably doing something.
Alejandro has the ability to reverse death.	Alejandro manages to protect himself from Maya's ability as well as revive others. |{ {note}}Perhaps Maya's ability is to cause instant death, and his is to reverse recent death. • If this is true, then it could be that Alejandro will "reverse" his own death, bringing himself back to life. - In Powerless Molly tries to find Alejandro with her ability but she can't find him. This implies that Alejandro is still dead.
Alejandro's ability is power negation.	None.	+ Alejandro is unaffected by Maya's ability + Alejandro is able to reverse the effects of Maya's ability. - If this was the case, then Maya would not be able to use her ability in the first place.
