Character History
How to Stop an Exploding Man
When Matt Parkman asks Molly how her power works, she states that she thinks of someone in her mind and then pinpoints their location on a map. Matt asks whether she can find anyone in the world just by thinking about them, to which she hesitantly responds that she can find "almost anyone", but there's one that she can't. Parkman asks, "is it someone bad, Molly, like the boogeyman?", and she hesitantly responds, "No, he's a lot worse". When Matt asks Molly why she doesn't want to find him, Molly replies in a terrified whisper, "'Cause when I think about him, he can see me."
Four Months Later...
When Miss Gerber tells Matt that Molly has mentioned having some terrible nightmares, she shows him some drawings that Molly drew. Each picture depicts eyes alongside the symbol. Later that night while Molly restlessly slept, Matt checks in on Molly, and hears her thoughts. Amongst these thoughts is a male voice, saying "I can see you." When Molly wakes up with a scream, Matt asks her to tell him where the person is, and Molly tells Matt that if she did, the man would kill Matt.
The Kindness of Strangers
After Matt makes a discovery about his father, he explains to Molly that his father left home when Matt was thirteen after giving Matt $120 and a pat on the head. Matt asks Molly to find Mr. Parkman. When Matt shows Molly a picture, she backs off and asks him to get it away. She states that Matt's father is "the nightmare man." Later that night, Matt is desperate to ask Molly to find him, but Mohinder forbids it. Molly volunteers herself however, and upon finding his location, becomes scared because he could see her. She screams, then blacks out. Matt reads her mind, and notices she is screaming "Help me, Matt!"
Fight or Flight
Maury is surprised when Nathan and Matt kick in his front door. Hearing Nathan call Matt "Parkman," Maury asks Matt by name if it is really him. Maury wants to know why Matt is there, and Matt asks what he's doing to Molly and what he knows about Kaito's death. Matt quickly disarms Maury and handcuffs him. When Nathan asks why he's armed, Maury motions to the table, where Nathan finds a similar death threat picture to his mother and Kaito. Maury tells Matt that Molly was looking for him, and that he was trying to protect himself. Maury tells Nathan that he met the Petrellis, Linderman, Kaito and others a while ago. When Nathan tells Matt to read his mind, Maury finds it amazing. When Matt tries to read his father's mind, he gets a block and his father tells him that it hurts for a reason, and that he'll explain.
Maury then walks into the kitchen, and through an inner-door on the other side. Matt and Nathan quickly pursue one at a time. Maury proceeds to show them the advanced extent of his telepathic ability. When Matt goes through the door, he appears to be in prison, with haunting visits from his ex-wife Janice and her son. When Nathan follows through the door immediately after Matt, however, instead of being inside a prison with Matt, Nathan is confronted with a nuclear destroyed New York City view, from atop the Deveaux rooftop, and is haunted by his irradiated alter-ego. While these two venues are occurring simultaneously within the room, unbeknownst to one another, Maury returns back out of the room, crosses through the kitchen, and leaves his apartment. Eventually Matt and Nathan are able to break free due to Matt's first advanced use of his own ability. Matt then comments, "Now I know why Molly calls him the Nightmare Man."

Heroes Evolutions
Assignment Tracker 2.0
The Company has an Assignment Tracker 2.0 file on Maury which elaborates on his family history. The file also sheds light on Maury's blue collar upbringing, the various odd jobs he worked, and how he discovered his ability. Additionally, the file traces his marriage (and its decimation), the birth of his son Matt, and his Company assignment to TMI and Bhutan. Finally, his personal history ends with his death at Pinehearst Headquarters at the hands of Arthur Petrelli. Maury's psychological profile, mired in mystery, unconfirmed sources, and contention, reveals that Maury's mother may have possessed an ability, too.

A Hero's Quest
In a roster posted on A Hero's Quest, Eric Thompson, Sr., is listed as going to Astana and Berlin in 1988, for business related to Maury.
In Hiro's eighth blog post, "More Strange Video", Hiro finds a videotape mentioning a Maury and wonders if it is Matt's dad. He reports that he knows that Maury is dead, but he is still scared of him because of what Matt said. He continues to search for Maury's Assignment Tracker file.
In Hiro's ninth blog post, "Memories of Maury", Hiro discovers how Maury came into the Company back in 1978 and discovers that Linderman was the one to bring him in.
In Hiro's tenth blog post, "Numbers Numbers Everywhere", Hiro reports that he has become obsessed with finding out about Maury.
Evolved Human Abilities
Maury, like his son, was a telepath. However, when they were reacquainted with one another as adults, Maury was far more adept than his son at using his ability. Besides claiming to be able to read minds, he was able to trap people in nightmarish visions that drew off the victim's own thoughts and memories. He could project visions at a more subtle level as well, to the point of convincing a target they were having a conversation with a mental image of an individual though he was unable to fool their sense of touch. He was also able to sense and block mentally intrusive abilities, and damage the minds of people who attempt to do this--such as when he incapacitated Molly when she used her ability to find him, and caused Matt pain when blocking his telepathy.
According to his assignment tracker profile, Maury's biological is at 65, his cerebral is at 100, his elemental is at 55, his temporal/spatial is at 40 and his control index is 98%.
Heroes Reborn App
Prior to Heroes Reborn starting, the Heroes Reborn app was released with a video summary of Maury's history. The summary included:
- Ability: advanced telepathy, mind manipulation
- A Company founder with telepathic power, Maury still holds sway over his son, Matt Parkman. (Fight or Flight)
- With his son fighting back, Maury must face his own nightmares. (Out of Time)
- Facing off with fellow founder Arthur Petrelli, Maury makes a stand. (Eris Quod Sum)
Memorable Quotes
"Is it someone bad, Molly, like the boogeyman?"
"No. He's a lot worse."
"Then why don't you want to find him?"
"Cause when I think about him, he can see me."
"I can see you."
- - Maury (to Molly) (Four Months Later...)
"Pleasant dreams."
- - Maury (to Matt) (Fight or Flight)
"No! I'm not scared of you anymore! I'm a good man; I'm a good cop. I'm a good father, which is something you know nothing about. You don't know what it's like to fight for someone that you love; you left. You left. All you have are your nightmares."
- - Matt (to Maury) (Out of Time)
"These things that we can do, it only begins at reading minds and then it becomes so much more."
- - Maury (to Matt) (Fight or Flight)
Notes

- Maury's Assignment Tracker profile initially used TCxrif57ex as the password, but this was later changed to MPapm05ap, a code seen in a video of a blizzard. The initial profile did not have the correct ability diagram, and used the diagram for electric manipulation, which was later changed to the diagram for induced radioactivity. There was also no profile picture, which was later added, and his occupation was listed as Former Company Agent, which was later removed.
- Maury's Assignment Tracker 2.0 profile lists the control index percentage for his ability as 98. However, Matt's profile lists Maury's control index as 73.
- Although the Heroes Reborn app lists Matt Parkman's ability as "telepathy", it lists Maury Parkman's ability as "advanced telepathy and mind manipulation".
