Theories

Theory	Citations	Notes
Mr. Muggles's secret identity is the invincible Uluru.	None.	+ 9th Wonders! states that Uluru is invincible. Thus far, Mr. Muggles has shown the characteristic of being invincible against the attack of many varied and different deadly assailants. + Sylar was unable to take Mr. Muggles's brain, nor use any of his powers against him. - Why would Sylar want to steal the brain of a dog, or attack him in any way? + Ted was unable to 'nuke' Mr. Muggles. - Ted didn't nuke Mr. Muggles because Matt told him not to. + Mr. Muggles used mind control on Matt to make him tell him not to. + West's ability of flight didn't surprise Mr. Muggles. - This does not support the theory that Mr.Muggles is invincible or Uluru, only that is he is seemingly not surprised by the sight of flying humans. + Elle was unable to 'zap' Mr. Muggles. + Mr. Muggles ingested Claire's blood of regeneration. - Tim Kring states that Uluru only exists in the comics. Therefore it is extremely unlikely that Mr. Muggles is really Uluru.
Mr. Muggles' power is Telepathy.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles seems to know people's intentions. + Thus why he barks at people with negative intentions. - He did not bark at Sylar. + Mr. Muggles can plant thoughts in other's mind. + Sylar did not hurt him. + Everyone loves him. + West feeds him waffles. + He sensed Mr. Bennet's presence before he walked in the door (Powerless).
It is significant that Mr. Muggles licked Claire's blood after her run-in with the garbage disposal.	None.	- As Mohinder has postulated, the power is in the DNA. Drinking the blood or eating the brain of an evolved human will not give anyone powers of that evolved human. - The chemical Mohinder found in Maya's blood and its ability to give others powers completely overthrows that rule, essentially breaking the premise used in Heroes seasons 1 and 2. + Adam Monroe's blood healed a horribly burned Nathan almost instantly. + A transfusion of blood managed to resurrect a dead Noah Bennet. + A transfusion of blood healed Adam's wife Diane. + An injection of blood healed Maya. - Digesting the blood may not have the same effects as injecting it. - Human DNA and dog DNA are not compatible. + Yes they are. • The term 'significant' is open to interpretation. What some consider significant, others may not. + Licking is significant to dogs.
Mr. Muggles is Candice as a spy for the Company to watch in case Claire's powers come up.	None.	+ The Company always seems to know what is happening in the Bennet household. - As Mr. Muggles seems to be a "house dog", it seems unlikely that Candice would find enough time to do anything else while portraying the dog. - Candice is dead. (Kindred) • Per se. She could have cast an illusion of her death, or had waffles do it for her. • Those sneaky little waffles.
Mr. Muggles has an ability to detect people with powers.	None.	+ He was able to detect West flying overhead. - Many dogs bark in the presence of strangers. - Perhaps Mr. Muggles saw West fly off. + The Company has an interest in detecting such people, and Bennet worked for them. - He didn't seem to react to Parkman, Ted, Sylar, or the Haitian. + The Haitian may have negated Mr. Muggles' power. - Sylar will want his brain if he showed his power. + Mr. Muggles run up and barks at Elle in Elle's First Assignment.
Mr. Muggles ate Claire's toe in Lizards.	None.	• Whether or not this happened is completely irrelevant. • .. or Mr Muggles could have kept Claire's toe on ice and so, in the event of injury, will be able to heal himself by eating the toe. • It is more likely that he uses the toe after he gets some of Mohinder's blood to cure himself of the Shanti virus, which he was infected by the Company.
Mr. Muggles may have eaten Zach.	None.	+ Zach has mysteriously disappeared from the plot. - There was nothing "mysterious" about Zach's disappearance. - Zach is most likely still in Odessa, living a normal life. + That's what Mr. Muggles wants us to think. - Or is it?? + Yes. It is. - Are you sure???
Mr. Muggles controls the group of twelve, and is the criminal mastermind behind the whole thing.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles was noticeably absent when Ted Sprague and Matt Parkman broke into their house. (Unexpected) - Mr. Muggles was notably there, and if not for Matt's intervention, may have been nuked by Ted. (Company Man) + He was there to ensure his plan was going smoothly. Mr Muggles may also possess a power related to mind control as he managed to convince Ted "not to nuke the dog". (Company Man) + Mr. Muggles does not bark or attempt to kill Sylar when he breaks into their home. (Distractions) + Mr. Muggles is not featured in the first episode until after Kaito and Angela have received their death threats in Four Months Later.... It is conceivable that he could have flown back in time for dinner. + Mr. Muggles is not adjusting well to his new life in Costa Verde (Four Months Later...). It could be due to his hectic flight schedule. + Noah Bennet was shrouded in mystery until discovering his first name. We are still yet to discover the first name of Mr. Muggles. • It would be interesting that people (the group of twelve) who have these great abilities, would answer, or be controlled by, a dog.
Mr. Muggles may have rapid cell regeneration and therefore will be the next disciple of Adam.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles was seen to be licking Claire's blood in Genesis, and as seen in Four Months Ago..., intake of blood from a evolved human with rapid cell regeneration can induce the effect of cellular regeneration, and there is possibility that the power may be retained by the individual or animal. • Or maybe Gumby, waffles, or your momma will.
Mr. Muggles is the hooded killer. He actually changed form to kill Kaito.	None.	+ Kaito was surprised by the identity of the killer. + Kaito was known to "sleep around" and had likely tried to move in on Sandra Bennet. - Mr. Muggles is a dog and by no means has any animal shown an ability. This in theory is not possible because, animals' brains are not as advanced as the human brain, and their DNA most likely has not mutated to form the genes required for a special ability, since most known people only have this ability in modern times. Assuming Adam was teleported from the future back in time and had his memory wiped by the Haitian. - Mr. Muggles is a shapeshifter and only looks like a dog. • If you're referring to Darwin's theory that animal brains are just simpler forms of humans, that's been scientifically disproved for a while now, as has the theory of evolution in general. - Unless Mr. Muggles shapeshifted into Adam, then this isn't possible. - It is unlikely that Mr. Muggles shapeshifted, as the company infected him with the virus. + Kaito doesn't like waffles.
Everything in Heroes is Mr. Muggles's dream.	None.	+ Super powers do not seem possible. - Dogs dreaming do not seem possible either. + Actually, scientists in the real world have proven that animals dream just as much as humans. On the other hand, no one has figured out the trick to time travel... - This could not happen because the writers are not a bunch of chimpanzees. • The writers may be chimpanzees, but Mr. Muggles can cast an illusion to make them look like humans. - The writers exist in a different world to Mr. Muggles- the world of reality. • It is possible that Mr. Muggles can use one of his powers to jump from the dimension of television to the real world. It would provide an interesting twist. + It happened in "Dallas." + "St. Elsewhere" too. + "LOST" as well...but no one knows it yet.
Mr. Muggles has the Shanti virus.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles has not shown his powers for a long time. - When has Mr.Muggles ever shown his "powers"? + It is possible that the Shanti virus spreads at a much slower rate in canines. + This would explain why he is hanging around Claire - to cure himself of the virus. + This would also explain why Mr. Muggles drank Claire's blood.
Mr. Muggles is the most adorable and cutest figure in the show.	None.	+ Sometimes when people say Mr. Muggles, they say it in a cute fashion. + Sandra lets Mr. Muggles lick her mouth. + Even Sylar loves Mr. Muggles. (Distractions) + Ted didn't want to hurt Mr. Muggles. (Company Man) - Ted did want to hurt Mr. Muggles, Matt stopped him. + Ted said he wasn't going to nuke the dog.
Mr. Muggles is an illusion created by waffles.	None.	• Waffles may have stolen Candice's brain after Sylar could not use it. - Mr. Muggles was around before Candice died. + Time traveling may have been involved. • It is possible that waffles innately have the power of illusion. This would explain why so many innocent people have been victimized, fallen for the taste of waffles.
Mr. Muggles is the leader of the Company. Some time later he faked his death so that he kept his identity secret. But now he's thirsty of blood and revenge has came back and is now planning on taking revenge on the founders. He took the form of a dog so no one can ever find him (he has the power to change form).	None.	+ That would explain who was the one who took the photograph of the co-founders.
Mr. Muggles killed Nathan Petrelli and also JFK.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles leaves the room, when he finds out that Claire wants to go public. So obviously he does not want the truth to come out. + The killer doesn't look like anyone we have seen yet. So it might be the human form of Mr. Muggles. - Like hell Mr. Muggles would personally kill anyone less than the Waffle King or God himself. Thats why he has subordinates. - We still don't know the power of JFK. + Yes we do. He had rapid cell regeneration. That's why Muggles shot him in the head and how Adam knows that will kill him + Nathan didn't like waffles. + If Mr.Muggles has either space-time manipulation or rapid cell regeneration, he may have also assassinated Abraham Lincoln.
Mr. Muggles killed Nathan Petrelli, but not JFK.	None.	• JFK has never been seen on-screen. For all we know, he never existed in the Heroes Universe. • Mr. Muggles could have been under the control of waffles. - The assailant was tall and dark-haired, while Mr. Muggles is short and blond.
Mr. Muggles is just a dog. He has no special abilities whatsoever apart from being abnormally cute.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles has four legs and barks. He looks strangely like a dog. - That is what he wants us to think. + Mr. Muggles's name comes from the term "Muggle", is a word used in the Harry Potter series of books by J.K. Rowling to refer to a human who does not have magical abilities. - If you were trying to hide in plain site, would you call yourself "Mr. Mutant"?. - The writers wouldn't have named a dog "Mister" if he did not have special abilities. - Exactly. This character obviously has some hidden secrets as we still don't know his first name. - The cuteness could be a part of the illusionary aspect of his power. Candice constantly posed as a much altered illusion of herself while having this power to enhance the way she looked. + The vast majority of dogs tend not to have special abilities. - They may be hiding them very well. + Out of all these ridiculous theories it is the one that makes the most sense.
In the third volume we will finally see Mr. Muggles team up with Waffles to become an unstoppable power.	None.	• God help us all.
Mr. Muggles is Arthur Petrelli is disguise.	None.	- Mr. Muggles's actions make Arthur look tame.
Mr. Muggles will ultimately be defeated when both Peter and Sylar phase their hands into his body, and nuke him with induced radioactivity. And then throw him into the sun for good measure.	None, but that would kick ass.	+ Seriously. - Peter and Sylar do not get along. Mr. Muggles has seen to that. - Only Chuck Norris can throw people into the sun. • Mr T also has that ability. - Mr Muggles rules all and would easily own a Peter and Sylar double team.
Mr. Muggles is an empathic mimic.	None.	• He has so far met: • Claire (rapid cell regeneration) • Sylar (intuitive aptitude, telekinesis, freezing, melting, enhanced memory, induced radioactivity; in the dark future he showed powers of rapid cell regeneration, flight, and phasing). • Ted (induced radioactivity) • Matt (telepathy) • Candice (illusion • West (flight) • Elle (lightning) • Eden (persuasion) - Mr. Muggles hangs around Claire because he has the Shanti Virus. This has been confirmed in an imaginary interview with Lestat (who has superpowers in real life) and Underdog. - Anything that Underdog says should be discredited because he is a liar and a wantwit.
Mr. Muggles has created his own ability, called holykinesis mimicry.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles has not yet shown an ability that has been recognizable. - Mr. Muggles has never shown an ability ever. + The waffles may be distracting everyone from noticing his ability.
Mr. Muggles is actually Pantalaimon	None.	+ It makes sense... in a way.
Mr. Muggles will eat West.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles is the Sylar of the animal world, and he wants West's brain. + It would be a totally awesome way to remove a really annoying character from the show. + Mr. Muggles clearly doesn't like West, he wouldn't stop barking at him when he left Activating Evolution in Claire's driveway.
Mr. Muggles' power is super-corrosive urine.	None.	+ Mr. Muggles has never taken a leak on-screen.
Mr. Muggles is Kaito Nakamura	None.	+ Kaito Nakamura tells Hiro that he would not like waffles. + We've yet to see Kaito's abilities, it could be turning into a cute dog. + Or vice versa.
Mr. Muggles is part of the group of twelve.	None.	+ He could have an special ability to turn into a human, or vice versa. - He could just be a super powered dog, not necessarily part of the Company founders.
Mr. Muggles is of little or no importance to the plot, acting only as some comic relief, as he is merely a dog.	None.
Mr. Muggles is in cahoots with Sylar.	None.	+ He could have let Sylar in the Bennet house in "The Second Coming." + He didn't bark at Sylar when he was following Claire in "The Second Coming." • God help us all.
