Theory	Citations	Notes
Flint Gordon, Jr. became a bad guy after Meredith was sent to bag and tag him and they had a fight.	None.	- Flint and Meredith had already robbed a convenience store when Meredith was recruited by the Company. - As far as we know, Meredith was never sent to bag and tag Flint.
Flint's flame can be other colors.	None.	• Flint told Meredith that he had tried to get his flame to burn 'extra hot'. • For fire to acquire other colors, it either needs to burn hotter, which Flint already does, or to have chemicals added to it. - For fire to burn blue solely by burning hot, it would need to be so hot that it would have effects on the surrounding environment far in excess of what we see. + Meredith's flame is a different color.
Flint Gordon, Jr. is not evil, he's just misunderstood.	None.	- He wanted to 'have some fun with' Elle, while she was knocked out after Sylar attacked her. - Flint was torching the hell out of people at the gas station, and it looked like he was having fun doing it. + Coming from an abusive household, Flint may be merely afflicted morally; this does not mean he cannot become a good guy, or possibly neutral; look at Sylar. + Meredith tells Flint that he wasn't born with brains, but with a big sister. This means that Meredith knows what's best for him, and she's the only one who understands him. - Flint is one of Arthur's villains. + Flint could be a double-agent, like Sylar and perhaps Tracy.
Flint Gordon, Jr. and Sylar will become well-acquainted.	None.	+ It seems too random that Peter first exhibits Flint's blue pyrokinesis as he entered the Gray household of the future. Therefore, Peter must have transitively picked up the power from Gabriel, who got the power from Flint. This implies that Slyar and Flint are buddies. - Nothing in this show is random. - Peter had already been exposed to Flint's ability in One of Us, One of Them. + Time was paused. - This was one of the first few abilities Peter used since meeting Flint. - Unless it's a passive ability, Peter needs to focus to use an ability, picking it up from Sylar and immediately using it is extremely far fetched.
Flint is still alive	Usutu's painting of the four villains shows Arthur, Knox, Sylar and Flint. Half of Arthur and Knox's faces are colored red, perhaps symbolizing their deaths (in Our Father and Dual, respectively), while Sylar and Flint are colored normally.	+ The Rule of Ted could have allowed him to escape the Pinehearst fire. + He was the cause of the building's fire; he had enough time to get out and escape.
