It is significant that Mr. Muggles licked Claire's blood after her run-in with the garbage disposal.	None.	- As Mohinder has postulated, the power is in the DNA.

Mr. Muggles ate Claire's toe in Lizards.	None.	• Whether or not this happened is completely irrelevant. • Oh, it's relevant. • .. 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, with which he was infected by the Company.

(Distractions) + Mr. Muggles is not featured in the first episode until after Kaito and Angela have received their death threats in Four Months Later....

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 the theory that animal brains are just simpler forms of humans, that's been scientifically disproven for a while now. - 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.

It would provide an interesting twist. + It happened in "Dallas." + "St. Elsewhere" too. + "LOST" as well...but no one knows it yet.
Mr. Muggles has the Shanti virus.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles has not shown his powers for a long time. - When has Mr.Muggles ever shown his "powers"? + A few minutes ago. + 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 Claire's blood.

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.

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. That's why he has subordinates. - Mr. Muggles has never been linked with the Mafia, the FBI, the CIA, anti-Castro Cubans, white supremacists, the Dallas Police Department, or the military-industrial complex. - We still don't know the power of JFK. + Yes we do. He had rapid cell regeneration. That's why Muggles shot him in the head and how Adam knows that will kill him + Nathan didn't like waffles. + If Mr.Muggles has either space-time manipulation or rapid cell regeneration, he may have also assassinated Abraham Lincoln. - Nathan is alive. • For now...

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. + The vast majority of dogs tend not to have special abilities. - They may be hiding them very well. + Out of all these ridiculous theories it is the one that makes the most sense. - Similar propaganda has been disseminated about waffles.

Cahoots?	+ He could have let Sylar in the Bennet house in "The Second Coming." + He didn't bark at Sylar when he was following Claire in "The Second Coming." - Sylar could have opened the door himself.
