Notes

| The Watcher is Teddy. |
None |
+ Teddy and "The Watcher" wear similar clothing (hats and pink shirts) and have similar facial hair.
+ When Teddy made a cart disappear (Tabula Rasa), he did it in front of the ball toss game. The Watcher is the ball toss attendant.
+ Teddy's ability allows him to hide things. The Watcher mysteriously pops out of nowhere, perhaps being able to make himself disappear.
- They have different abilities.
- + Teddy could have manipulated Sylar's eyes to make it seem as though the cart disappeared.
- - Samuel would know if this wasn't Teddy's ability.
- + Teddy could have manipulated everyone into believing this was his ability.
- • Nothing suggests that Samuel does not know what Teddy's ability is.
- The Watcher claims that everybody wept when they discovered he was gone but gradually accepted it. The carnies still know Teddy is around.
- + He never stated who wept for him. It could have been his family, at a time before he joined the carnival.
- Aviv knew Teddy, but he states the Watcher is not one of them.
- • Aviv stated that the Watcher wasn't part of their family; that term seems to represent the concept of all evolved humans being connected, not necessarily membership in the Carnival.
• The Watcher stated that he was not part of the carnival at all.
- • What qualifies someone as a member of the Carnival? He appears to live in it (unless he has his own compass and/or some kind of teleportation ability), and he interacts with the carnies often (albeit in creepy, evil ways).
- Judging by his James Bond Evil Mastermind-style ranting in Chapter 8 of Slow Burn, I doubt he would have even let himself be seen without flipping out/blackmailing someone.
- Teddy looks like he's in his 20s. The Watcher has grayish-white hair.
