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.

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) • Per se. She could have cast an illusion of her death, or had waffles do it for her.
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. • Still others disagree, and say that Waffles are superior. • Mr. Muggles has already stated that he is planning to take over the galaxy, not just the world. • Mr. Muggles said he would take over the universe.
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. + The Haitian may have neglected Mr. Muggles' power. - Sylar will want his brain if he showed his power. + Mr. Muggles run up and barks at Elle in Elle's First Assignment.
Mr. Muggles ate Claire's toe in Lizards.	None	• Whether or not this happened is completely irrelevant. • .. or Mr Muggles could have kept Claire's toe on ice and so, in the event of injury, will be able to heal himself by eating the toe. • It is more likely that he uses the toe after he gets some of Mohinder's blood to cure himself of the Shanti virus, which he was infected by the Company.
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) + He was there to ensure his plan was going smoothly. Mr Muggles may also possess a power related to mind control as he managed to convince Ted "not to nuke the dog". (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. - It is unlikely that Mr. Muggles shapeshifted, as the company infected him with the virus. + Kaito doesn't like waffles.
Everything in Heroes is Mr. Muggles's 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... - This could not happen because the writers are not a bunch of chimpanzees. • The writers may be chimpanzees, but Mr. Muggles can cast an illusion to make them look like humans. - The writers exist in a different world to Mr. Muggles- the world of reality. • It is possible that Mr. Muggles can use one of his powers to jump from the dimension of television to the real world. It would provide an interesting twist.
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. + This would also explain why Mr. Muggles drank Claires blood.
Mr. Muggles is the father and son of Adam due to time travel.	None	+ Mr. Muggles is no ordinary dog... • Mr Muggles could also be his own pet and taught himself everything he knows + This would explain why we didn't saw him after the virus was destroyed; he went to get his father/son out of his grave.
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. + Sandra lets Mr. Muggles lick her mouth. + Even Sylar loves Mr. Muggles. (Distractions) + 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 traveling may have been involved. • 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.

But now he's thirsty of blood and revenge has came back and is now planning on taking revenge on the founders. He took the form of a dog so no one can ever find him (he has the power to change form)	None	+ That would explain who was the one who took the photograph of the co-founders.
Mr. Muggles killed Nathan Petrelli and also JFK.	None	+ Mr. Muggles leaves the room, when he finds out that Claire wants to go public. So obviously he does not want the truth to come out. + The killer doesn't look like anyone we have seen yet. So it might be the Human form of Mr. Muggles. - Like hell Mr. Muggles would personally kill anyone less than the Waffle King or God himself. Thats why he has subordinates. - We still don't know the power of JFK. + Nathan didn't like waffles.
Mr. Muggles is just a dog. He has no special abilities whatsoever apart from being abnormally cute.	None	+ Mr. Muggles has four legs and barks. He looks strangely like a dog. - That is what he wants us to think. + Mr. Muggle's name comes from the term "Muggle", is a word used in the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling to refer to a human who does not have magical abilities. - The writers wouldn't have named a dog "Mister" if he did not have special abilities. - Exactly. This character obviously has some hidden secrets as we still don't know his first name. - The cuteness could be a part of the illusionary aspect of his power. Candice constantly posed as a much altered illusion of herself while having this power to enhance the way she looked.
