It is significant that Mr. Muggles licked Claire's blood after her run-in with the garbage disposal.	None	- It has been stated and confirmed that the power is in the brain, not the blood. - As Mohinder has postulated, the power is in the DNA. Drinking the blood or eating the brain of an evolved human will not give anyone powers of that evolved human. + Adam Monroe's blood healed a horribly burned Nathan almost instantly. + A transfusion of blood managed to resurrect a dead Noah Bennet - Human DNA and dog DNA are not compatible.
Mr. Muggles is Candice as a spy for the Company to watch in case Claire's powers come up.	None	+ The Company always knows what's happening in the Bennet household. - As Mr. Muggles seems to be a "house dog", it seems unlikely that Candice would find enough time to do anything else while portraying the dog. - Candice is dead. (Kindred)
Mr. Muggles is plotting to take over the world, and his plan may involve waffles.	None	+ Some say Gumby could be part of the plan. - Some say Gumby is not part of the plan. • The plan might also involve manatees and pigeons. • Some say that these suggestions are really stupid. • Others agree. • Others disagree, believing the Mr. Muggles theories to be the most humorous on the site.
Mr. Muggles has an ability to detect people with powers.	None	+ He was able to detect West flying overhead. - Many dogs bark in the presence of strangers. - Perhaps Mr. Muggles saw West fly off. + The Company has an interest in detecting such people, and Bennet worked for them. - He didn't seem to react to Parkman, Ted, Sylar, or the Haitian.
Mr. Muggles ate Claire's toe in Lizards.	None	• Whether or not this happened is completely irrelevant.
Mr. Muggles may have eaten Zach.	None	+ Zach has mysteriously disappeared from the plot. - There was nothing "mysterious" about Zach's disappearance. - Zach is most likely still in Odessa, living a normal life. + That's what Mr. Muggles wants us to think.
Mr. Muggles controls the group of twelve, and is the criminal mastermind behind the whole thing.	None	+ Mr. Muggles was noticeably absent when Ted Sprague and Matt Parkman broke into their house. (Unexpected) - Mr. Muggles was notably there, and if not for Matt's intervention, may have been nuked by Ted. (Company Man) + Mr. Muggles does not bark or attempt to kill Sylar when he breaks into their home. (Distractions) + Mr. Muggles is not featured in the first episode until after Kaito and Angela have received their death threats in Four Months Later.... It is conceivable that he could have flown back in time for dinner. + Mr. Muggles is not adjusting well to his new life in Costa Verde (Four Months Later...). It could be due to his hectic flight schedule. + Noah Bennet was shrouded in mystery until discovering his first name. We are still yet to discover the first name of Mr. Muggles. • It would be interesting that people (The group of twelve) who have these great abilities, would answer, or be controlled by, a dog.
Mr. Muggles may have rapid cell regeneration and therefore will be the next disciple of Adam.	None	+ Mr. Muggles was seen to be licking Claire's blood in Genesis, and as seen in Four Months Ago..., intake of blood from a evolved human with rapid cell regeneration can induce the effect of cellular regeneration, and there is possibility that the power may be retained by the individual or animal. • Or maybe Gumby, waffles, or your momma will.
Mr. Muggles is the hooded killer. He actually changed form to kill Kaito.	None	+ Kaito was surprised by the identity of the killer. + Kaito was known to "sleep around" and had likely tried to move in on Sandra Bennet. - Mr. Muggles is a dog and by no means has any animal shown an ability. This in theory is not possible because, animals' brains are not as advanced as the human brain, and their DNA most likely has not mutated to form the genes required for a special ability, since most known people only have this ability in modern times. Assuming Adam was teleported from the future back in time and had his memory wiped by the Haitian. - Mr. Muggles is a shapeshifter and only looks like a dog. • If you're referring to Darwin's theory that animal brains are just simpler forms of humans, that's been scientifically disproved for a while now, as has the theory of evolution in general. - Unless Mr. Muggles shapeshifted into Adam, then this isn't possible.
Everything in Heroes is Mr. Muggles' dream.	None	+ Super powers do not seem possible. - Dogs dreaming do not seem possible either. + Actually, scientists in the real world have proven that animals dream just as much as humans. On the other hand, no one has figured out the trick to time travel...
Mr. Muggles has the Shanti virus.	None	+ Mr. Muggles has not shown his powers for a long time. + It is possible that the Shanti virus spreads at a much slower rate in canines. + This would explain why he is hanging around Claire - to cure himself of the virus.
Mr. Muggles is the father and son of Adam due to time travel.	None	+ Mr. Muggles is no ordinary dog...
Mr. Muggles is the most adorable and cutest figure in the show.	None	+ Sometimes when people say Mr. Muggles, they say it in a cute fashion. + Ted didn't want to hurt Mr. Muggles. (Company Man)
Mr. Muggles is an illusion created by waffles.	None.	• Waffles may have stolen Candice's brain after Sylar could not use it. - Mr. Muggles was around before Candice died. + Time travel, my friend, time travel. • It is possible that waffles innately have the power of illusion. This would explain why so many innocent people have been victimized, fallen for the taste of waffles.
