The man who is able to see Molly is Uluru.	None	+ In an interview, the writers stated that "we would see a hint of Uluru before the season is over". + Molly states that, if she uses her power to see this person, he can see her back. While using his power, Isaac saw Uluru, and Uluru saw and spoke to Isaac. (Isaac's First Time) + Uluru has been hinted at as a villain for quite some time now. This could be a set-up to Season Two. - Kring confirmed that Uluru only existed in the pages of the comic books. - The man who is able to see Molly is Mr. Parkman • No proof exists that Mr. Parkman is not Uluru
The man watching Molly plans to use Sylar's body in some way to achieve his evil means.	None	+ At times, Sylar speaks in a different voice, similar to Eden's 'command' voice. However, she shot herself before he could take her brain, and he clearly does not have this ability. He also appears to change character at times; he tries to give his mother a 'snowglobe' experience and when she begins to get upset, he starts to revel in her fear. This 'inner' being may well be Uluru. + Sylar's body disappears mysteriously, with a trail of blood leading to an open sewer cover. The trail of blood indicates that Sylar's body was dragged, possibly by the man watching Molly. (How to Stop an Exploding Man) - Sylar could have moved himself with the little strength he had left or with telekinesis. - Tim Kring stated in an interview that Sylar "clearly somehow dragged himself into a manhole."
The man's power is power reflection, similar to Peter's mimicry (in earlier episodes, when the power was only available when another evolved human was using it).	Molly says that when she thinks of him, he can see her. (How to Stop an Exploding Man)	+ If he can reflect powers, he could possibly know where Molly is if she knows where he is.
The man's power is omnipresence or something similar. He can be present in every place at anytime.	None.	+ This might be how he can see Molly. - Molly said that the being can only see her when she sees him. + Mr. Parkman can see Molly when she's sleeping, and she doesn't appear to be using clairvoyance during this time.
The man Audrey believed to be Sylar in One Giant Leap was actually this man.	None	+ Molly said to Parkman: "How could he find me?" + He didn't take her brain. - He displayed Sylar's powers, such as telekinesis. He even had a baseball cap. - Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite stated in an interview that the man who was chasing Molly in the FBI building was Sylar.
Molly's villain and the dragon from Kaito Nakamura's story in Landslide are one and the same.	None.	• Since Volume Two opens with Hiro in the past meeting the Takezo Kensei, we may soon learn more about the legend of the dragon.
The man's power is empathic mimicry.	Molly says that when she "thinks about him", he can see her. (How to Stop an Exploding Man).	+ This could be the result of mimicry. + Also, if the new villain were an empath, it would not be difficult to be 'worse than Sylar' in the danger stakes. While Sylar needs to study your brain to take your power, an empath only needs to meet you, once. + Claude has implied that he has met other empaths before. • An empath's mutations might be viral, as suggested here.
The man who can see Molly is the hooded killer who killed Kaito.	None	+ The hooded killer seems to be connected to evolved humans, specifically The Company, who took care of Molly in the past. + Kaito Nakamura is a really strong and experienced evolved human, but he was shocked and afraid of the hooded killer, which could could mean that the hooded killer is extremely strong, enough to be worse than Sylar. + The hooded killer may have a power because he disappeared after he fell with Kaito to the ground. He could be multi-powered like Sylar or Peter and one of his powers might be connected to Molly. - It's highly unlikely that Mr. Parkman directly killed Kaito, given the apparent girth of Mr. Parkman.
Mr. Parkman angered the Company and left his family to keep them from getting involved.	Matt's father left when Matt was thirteen years old (The Kindness of Strangers)	+ The time Matt's father left would be during the time he was a veteran in the Company. + Molly states that she doesn't want to find Mr. Parkman using her ability because he sees her. This may imply that the Company used her to find him previously, as she would not have reason to use her ability to find him otherwise.
Mr. Parkman's power is the ability to possess other people's minds and take control of them.	None	+ Molly seems to need to mentally link with who ever she is tracking, this could explain why he can see her when she tries to find him. + He could have possessed Angela and forced her to attack herself and then admit to killing Kaito.
Mr. Parkman is a highly advanced telepath, capable not only of reading minds but also controlling them as well.	None	+ This would explain how he was able to see Molly and his psychic attacks upon her in (The Kindness of Strangers) + A power of this nature and scope, particularly one that can seemingly be used across great distances, would be enough to make a person a bigger threat than Sylar. + He could have possessed Angela and forced her to attack herself and then admit to killing Kaito. • In comic books, powerful telepaths are generally considered to be the most dangerous super-powered individuals of all.
