Matt Parkman Jr. will have an earth related ability.	None.	+ In the BTE the writers stated that there would be a hero with an earth ability, they said "it will be muddy". + The baby-sitter mentioned that the baby is "a mess" and that the "diaper's clean but that won't hold", insinuating that the baby is soiling himself too frequently. It may be that the baby-sitter is confusing it with his "muddy" power already manifesting.
Matt Parkman Jr's power has already begun to manifest.	None.	+ The baby sitter seemed extremely upset about having take care of him, an over reaction for someone who has been trained to be baby sitter. - She wasn't trained to be a baby sitter, she said she was on a temp job. + When addressing Ando and Hiro she seemed to imply that she worked for the same agency and had called for a replacement. A babysitter calling an agency without consulting the parents would be really irresponsible. + Maybe she was nervous about babysitting a super powered baby, since the Government hunts the evolved humans. - Other than those directly involved with the operation, no one knows that the people being hunted are evolved humans. + The girl got baby Matt from none other than Rebel.

Baby Matt is Rebel.	None.	+ Since Noah Gray-Cabey won't guest star in Cold Snap, Rebel should be someone else. • This argument can be applied to basically everyone else in the show. - Matt's a baby, even though his power may be super-intelligence (if he has a power at all), this qualifies as a long, long, long stretch.
Matt Jr will inherit the inherit his father's ability.	Ability inheritance occurs.	+ Matt inherited his ability from his father, the same could happen again. • So long as his mother has no ability, this is very likely. • Elle inherited her ability from her father, their abilities aren't the same. - The third Parkman generation with {{Telepathy|the same ability]] sounds lazy and stupid. It's about time a Parkman shows a different ability. • Matt already displayed precognition. - It's good Parkmans learn new tricks. Little Matt is a baby and can barely talk. If he has telepathy, how would he manifest it? His ability should be something else.
Matt Jr will have an incredibly powerful ability.	None.	+ Superpowered babies always seem to be the most powerful (eg. Franklin Richards, Jack-Jack from the Incredibles).
Baby Matt doesn't have an ability.	None.	+ Angela states in Shades of Gray that "sometimes it skips a generation". There were two Parkman generations in a row with powers. Maybe baby Matt is the one who 'skips'.
