Character History
Fight or Flight
Matt, trapped in an illusion created by his father, meets Janice and her son in a jail cell. Janice accuses Matt, saying that he knew that Janice's son, who was supposedly the son of Tom McHenry, was actually their own son. Matt protests, saying that he didn't know anything, but Janice ignores him and leaves the jail cell.
Shades of Gray
Hiro and Ando go to Los Angeles to save Matt Parkman after a message from "Rebel". Hiro and Ando are surprised when a babysitter gives them a baby and leaves. It turns out that the Matt Parkman "Rebel" was talking about was Matt Parkman Jr.
Cold Snap
Hiro and Ando are initially confused, with Hiro believing that Matt Parkman has been turned into a child. Ando realizes that they are not in fact, dealing with Matt Parkman as a baby, but rather Matt Parkman's son. When Hiro unplugs a TV and it comes back on while not plugged on, he and Ando realize that the baby has a power. The baby continues to demonstrate its power, giving motion to various toys, and they dub it "Toddler Touch and Go." They later meet Janice Parkman, who upon being asked if she knows her child is "special," reveals that Matt Parkman, Jr. first started demonstrating powers around the time of the eclipse. When member's of Danko's team appear to bring in Janice and Matt Jr., Hiro and Ando hide the child. Then, when Matt Jr. touches Hiro, some of Hiro's power returns-- he is again able to stop time, though is not able to teleport.

Powers and Abilities
Some mystery does surround the baby's powers. However, the most obvious thing, is that Matt Jr. is able to turn things on, and it is quite obviously a form of technopathy. For example, in Cold Snap, he is able to turn on the TV when it is pluged in, and when it is unpluged. He also turned on a toy robot, a dancing monkey, and a toy airplane. When Ando got knocked out by a hunter, Hiro told the baby he was sorry he could not save him, and the baby then activated a portion of Hiros power. So it is assumed that the baby can turn on things, or even be a new catylist, so to speak. It is possible he only activated the time portion of Hiro's power because that is the only part he was trying to use, so if he tried to teleport while the baby activated his power, he could possibly teleport. An appropriate name for this ability could be technomancy.
