Theory	Citations	Notes
Lyle is also adopted and also has a special ability, but has been far better at hiding it than his sister.	None	+ In a deleted scene for Nothing to Hide, Claire makes an comment to Lyle, saying, "Sometimes it's nice to know that we're both adopted." + After witnessing his older sister going through all kinds of problems, he has proper motivation to keep it a secret even from his own parents. + Noah has said that he and his wife were having problems conceiving a child (Company Man) so it's plausible that Lyle is not their biological child either. - It's unlikely that this would never be mentioned. + The Bennets may feel that he is too young or immature to know. • He can be adopted and not necessarily have an ability; • It's also possible he is an evolved human whose power hasn't surfaced yet. He is younger than Claire, and she only discovered her power a year ago. Others (Nathan, Peter, Hiro, et al.) discovered their powers at much older ages. - Micah and Molly discovered their powers at earlier ages than Lyle.
He may betray Claire or Noah	None	+ He was very eager to tell about Claire's secret when he found out. - He was in shock. + He lost a lot because of Claire - He would lose even more. + He may feel neglected because Claire is special. We rarely see him on screen - It may be just a casting limitation.
