(Five Years Gone)	+ Both his father (Matt Parkman) and grandfather (Maury Parkman) possess telepathy. - In a Q&A session, writers Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite were asked whether or not it's a guarantee that powers are passed on, given that both parents are evolved humans. They answered, "In genetics, nothing is guaranteed. A random mix of traits." In another session they said, "We've seen that the existence of powers may be something passed on, but the powers themselves are a crapshoot of sorts. For example, phase-man + strength-girl = talks to machines." (Source: Power Heredity) - Matthew's parentage is uncertain. It seems like he is the son of Matt's wife and partner, and not Matt himself. + Matt wouldn't have had to see Noah in the future to hide his son if he didn't have powers, nor would he reference both his son and Claire as persons of interests.

(Cold Snap)	+ Both his father (Matt Parkman) and grandfather (Maury Parkman) possess powers. + They have the same name. + They are about the same age.
