Theory	Citations	Notes
Noah, knowing what would happen in the painting, arranged with Mohinder to be shot by him. Mohinder was able to access Claire's blood and used it to revive HRG.	None.	+ Mohinder and HRG had a lot of time together alone in the car to work on a plan. + Mohinder and HRG still planned to take down the Company, even though it appeared that Mohinder was on both sides. - Bennet seemed genuinely surprised when he regained consciousness - it seems unlikely that he expected to be revived in a company facility. + It's possible he was simply surprised by the feeling of being brought back from the dead. Even if he knew it was coming, it's difficult to prepare oneself for something like that. - Mohinder was distraught looking over the gun he had, almost in tears by what he had done. He couldn't have been in two places at the same time. - Noah stopped Mohinder from shooting him when painting 7/8 was realized.
Bennet will always have secrets.	None.	+ He has a history of not telling the truth about his work. Also, he tried to hide the truth about Claire's biological parents from her. + He may be hiding that Claire received her ability through injection. - As all of Claire's maternal side of the family has powers, and these powers run in her paternal side as well, it seems quite unlikely that she was injected with a synthetic ability. Plus, the fact Claire survived the fire as a baby proves that she had the ability from birth. - Only her mother and maternal uncle were shown to have powers. - Noah was seen holding Claire after the fire, so he saved her. - Claire only began displaying a power in Six Months Ago. • It is unknown as to whether Noah knows that The Company developed a formula to grant people abilities.
Noah will eventually die permanently.	None.	+ He died in the explosion future and the exposed future. + 93% of the world died in the outbreak future. Noah was probably among them. - Probably is not a confirmation. - Noah dying in some of the possible futures has nothing to do with the current timeline that the show is following. + Since Noah does not have rapid cellular regeneration, that is a certainty for him to die sometime. • Rapid cell regeneration doesn't completely prevent death, as seen with Arthur.
One day Noah will die, protecting his family.	None.	+ Noah always does everything to protect his loved ones.
Noah's father is Samson Gray.	None.	+ Claire describes Sylar as her uncle in the future. This would be true if Noah is Sylar's brother. - Claire said so, believing Sylar to be Peter and Nathan's brother. - Noah is Claire's adoptive father. + BTE confirmed there is a link between Samson Gray and Noah Bennet. - BTE said Sylar and Noah are connected, not Samson and Noah. + This could explain how they are connected, a future revelation of brothers. - Noah had access to the Company's files, if he discovered that Arthur and Angela were not Sylar's real parents, he should know everything about his own parentage. - Noah could have captured Samson briefly during an assignment, explaining the company's knowledge of Samson. + This could explain why Noah seems so interested in Sylar, after he killed Brian Davis. - Sylar is a serial killer who murders specials, and Noah is a father of one and a man whose job is to capture criminals like Sylar.
Tracy will try to kill Noah.	At the 2009 Comic-Con Heroes panel, Jack Coleman said that there will be a dramatic incident involving his character, a car and water. It is speculated that Tracy's powers have now attained water-like properties.	+ Tracy has a vendetta against people involved with the the capturing of evolved humans and she does not know Noah's true loyalties. - She does - he offered her freedom if she helped him to capture Rebel.
