Theory	Citations	Notes
Angela and Adam are Nathan's true parents.	None.	• Nathan could easily be thirty (he, or Sylar posing as him, was President in Five Years Gone and without laws changing one must be thirty-five to become President). - The real father of the Peter and Nathan was pointed out in the photo of the company in season 2. - The images that we've seen of Arthur bear a strong family resemblance to Nathan, strongly implying a close biological relationship between the two.
Angela Petrelli is not good.	None.	+ In Truth & Consequences, Victoria tells Peter, "Adam's a murderer, and since you're helping him, you're one too... Just like your parents." + At the end of Powerless, Angela appears to be talking to the person who shot Nathan, or someone involved in the shooting. + Angela contributed to Linderman's plan. • This is a very ambiguous theory - many characters can be considered morally gray, and it can be argued that Angela has traits of good and evil.
Angela Petrelli is not really Sylar's mother.	None	+ Sylar and Peter being related seems too convinient and makes for a weak twist. + Sylar once stated that as a child, he wished someone would tell him that his parents weren't really his parents. This may have been on Sylars file, which Angela had access to. Sylar would want to believe that someone else in his family has a power. + Angela might want to use Sylar to round up the escaped prisoners. + Angela has shown a seeming "hypnotism" ability on several occasions, which may or may not be related to her dreams. She could be using this ability to convince Sylar she is his mother, to then manipulate him for some other end.
