Theory	Citations	Notes
Noah Gray is actually H.R.G. (Noah Bennet)	None	+ HRG have no abilities, so he injected himself one, only to find out he became younger and younger. • Or de-aging people could be a new ability enacted on Noah. + If Noah Gray is 4 years old, and its 2011, then he must be born in 2007, and Sylar doesn't have any known partner in those times. + Noah Gray is blonde. + When Peter went to the future, H.R.G. is nowhere to be found. - He couldn't have, say, died? - In Resistance, Claire talks about the loss of her parents. + Her dad becoming a baby would count as a loss. - She does not seem upset when he dies. + She might not know that it is him. + She had recently killed her uncle and didn't show much remorse. - She allowed herself a few moments to mourn her uncle, and having to kill him a second time. - She might not show much remorse because she believes she is fighting for the greater good. + In "Behind the Eclipse: Week 3, authors Aron Coliete and Joe Pokaski pick up this idea but give it a little twist: Gabriel Gray IS HRG's father, but somehow little Noah timetravels back into the 60's and grows up to be HRG. This would not involve any backwards aging and is possible due to characters like Peter and Hiro being able to timetravel. - I would postulate that if Noah Grey time travels to the past to grow up as HRG, then Claire's entire past would have been altered by Noah Grey being killed. Noah would have died before going back to become HRG, and Claire would have had a totaly different life, which would have altered everything. Actually, the very act of killing Noah Grey would have likely changed the past extensively. What would the heroverse be like if HRG had never existed? + This is one of those time travel problems, but in my understanding altering the future does not have the same effect as altering the past because the future is always subject to change. So if Noah Gray already time-travelled back in one possible future and has become a fixed part of the past, his death in an alternate future wouldn't change anything in the past. Also, it is most likely that the future in which Sylar explodes will be altered eventually.
Angela was the reason for the birth of "Noah Gray"	In One of Us, One of Them Angela states that she will "fix" his hunger	+ Due to Angela's Precognitive ability, she can see the future and thus know what will stop Sylar from giving in to his hunger, as Gabriel stated in "I am become Death" he does it for his son.
Noah is adopted	None	+ There is no evidence of Noah's mother.

Noah is the son of Elle and Sylar, who will become involved at some point.	Noah resembles both of them (He is blond, like Elle, and has brown eyes, like Sylar).	+ In the French advertisement for Season 3 of Heroes, the trailer shows a scary, but rather sexual interaction between Sylar and Elle, with Elle lying on her back as Sylar whispers "I'm a psychopathic killer" and Elle responds "Takes one to know one." + In the latest edition on Entertainment Weekly, the writers discuss a secene between Sylar and Elle that includes zitti, champigne, and murder from the past in which Elle turns Syler into a killer, showing that their relationship has depth. + When asked if Elle would have a relationship in the future, Heroes cast responded that she is set to have a cute romance ahead, and Zachary Quinto has already stated that Noah's mother is a current Heroes character and that se is alive and "silver-tongued."
Noah is Sylar's and Claire Bennett's child.	Noah resembles them both as well, with Claire's blond hair and Sylar's brown eyes.	+ Sylar tells Claire after he takes her power, "You're special... and I couldn't kill you, even if I wanted to," implying that he has fond feelings for her.	+ When Sylar took Claire's ability, he started talking about how to "make love stay"	+ In the future, Claire states "I'm special, remember?"--the same line Sylar says to her after he takes her ability.	+ Claire could have "Stockholm Syndrome" where the abused come to love their captors.	+ Sylar saved Claire from the Vortex man, showing that the writers are trying to build a relationship between them.	+ Wth Sylar's newfound ability to understand other people's feelings, he empathized with Claire when she was upset at HRG after he caused the Vortex man to commit suicide.	+ in the exposed future, Sylar lives in Claire's house.	+ In the exposed future, Sylar as Claire's dog.	+ In the exposed future, Claire is extremely nervous to go see Sylar, even though she probably shouldn't be afraid of him anymore since he has become so harmless.	+ In the exposed future, Claire says to Sylar "You took everything from me" in reference to her house etc, and possibly to her child?
