Theory	Citations	Notes
Bob and Noah Bennet are brothers.	None	+ Switching your last name from Bishop to Bennet to Butler is not a huge stretch. Perhaps he wanted to prove his own value, instead of being known as the 'Boss's kid brother. - Bennet has no knowledge of Linderman's connection to the Company and is imprisoned without appeal. Very odd if his brother is one of the leaders... • Bob nor Noah may not know if they're brothers or not. • This could be the rumoured relative connection that would be revealed in (Season 2 Finale). - Thompson mentions bringing him in personally.
Bob adopted Elle when she was taken into the Company.	Claire was adopted. (Company Man)	- Unlike Bennet, Bob has powers and it is plausible that his children would have powers. + Many parallels have been drawn between Claire and Elle, and it's implied that Bob had the Haitian erase all of Elle's previous life. - Bennet's description of how Bob brought Elle in to be tested by The Company seems to suggest strongly that she is Bob's biological daughter.(Cautionary Tales) • Bennet was supposed to return his adopted daughter to the company once she manifested her powers. - Bob's wife and Elle's mother is not evident.
Bob was allied with Linderman towards blowing up New York.	Sandra recognizes Bob as Noah's boss. (Cautionary Tales) Noah's other boss, Thompson, openly supports Linderman's plan. (The Hard Part)	+ Bob seems pretty well set up(comfy office, access to files, prisoners, experimental viruses and cures, no hint of conflict in the Company other than a pair of runaways and a telepathic assassin, i.e. noone questions his authority), for a guy who's just taken over the Company in less than 24 hours. + Linderman spends his time running a vast crime synidicate and lives in Vegas. Someone has to handle the day-to-day affairs of the Company...
Bob ordered Nathan's death		+ Bob has a motive, Nathan was going to expose his company. + Bob also knows Angela personally, and would be able to call her and talk so informally.
