Theories

Theory Citations Notes
Angela and Adam are Nathan's true parents. None. Nathan could easily be thirty (he, or Sylar posing as him, was President in Five Years Gone and without laws changing one must be thirty-five to become President).

- Arthur bears a strong family resemblance to Nathan, strongly implying a close biological relationship between the two.

Angela Petrelli is not good. None. + In Truth & Consequences, Victoria tells Peter, "Adam's a murderer, and since you're helping him, you're one too... Just like your parents."

+ Angela contributed to Linderman's plan.

- Angela could be aiding Linderman for healing the damage of Arthur's telepathy over the years of marriage.
- Angela is a precognitive, she knew that the explosion was unavoidable, and the explosion did happen.

This is a very ambiguous theory - many characters can be considered morally gray, and it can be argued that Angela has traits of good and evil.

+ On the other hand, Angela has done deeds up to and including plotting mass murder and personally feeding people to Sylar. She is, at best, horribly ruthless with 'good' intentions.
- By feeding Bridget to Sylar she gave him the ability to see the past of an object or person by touching them. When Sylar saved Claire from the vortex in Angels and Monsters he apparently felt her pain. This could be rewardable to Angela for giving him the ability and therefore slowly transforming him into a human rather than a monster.
+ Furthermore, when Future Gabriel moves into the Bennet residence, he will undoubtedly use his clairsentience on Claire's former residence and learn of the pain and destruction he had caused within the Bennet family.
- Angela showed remorse while Bridget was being killed.
The agents of the Company do not realize that Angela has a power. None. + When Noah returns to help find the Level 5 escapees, he states that he needs a partner, saying "You know how it works: One of us, one of them." Angela responds with "I have the perfect one of them in mind."
- She was speaking of field agents in general. HRG is "one of us" (the non-powered agents), Sylar is "one of them" (evolved human agents).

Angela is one of the company's founders and presumably keeps a low profile.
Angela's non-combative power would never be needed on the field.

Angela Petrelli is Matt Parkman's birth mother. None. + Matt's mother is only mentioned in passing, when Matt accuses Maury of abandoning them, but never named.

+ Maury would have no reason to stay with the woman who is not the mother of his son.
+ There is a significant age gap between Nathan and his brother Peter.
+ There is a passing resemblance between Matt, Nathan, and Peter.
- The timeline of events according to graphic novel, War Buddies places Arthur and Linderman in Vietnam at the time of Matt's birth, before the Group of Twelve is formed and presumably, Maury and Angela had yet to meet.
+ Arthur's absence at this time allows Angela to carry a child to term leaving Arthur none the wiser.
+ Angela knows how to fight Matt's telepathic probing in Cautionary Tales. This means she likely has fought off another telepath, like Maury.

- Angela has had much experience from Arthur's own probing.
Angela is mother of Isaac Mendez. None. Isaac's mother is unknown, they both share a similar power (precognition), they both live in New York, Carlos Mendez was one of the Company's founders. Peter hated Isaac which would be a connection.

- The Petrelli family would have noticed Angela being pregnant, since Isaac was younger than Nathan.

Angela has more than one ability. None. + She seems to be able to manipulate people abnormally well.
- You don't need super powers to be manipulative.

+ She has been present when two people have been forced to remember past events, Peter and Rachel Mills both remembered large parts of important information in her presence.

- The events that Rachel remembered happened only a few hours, maybe a day earlier. It would not be hard for her to remember them by herself.
- Peter read Angela's mind in order to remember who she was.
+ The power of persuasion has been mentioned in above theories. When Arthur confronts Angela in her mental prison, shes says "Let me go Arthur, you still love me..." and all of a sudden he listens to her, knowing she would be a problem in his plan since she sees the future.
- And it was also mentioned that the very thing that made people think Angela had persuasion was a improvisation of the actress in a scene, no hidden power.
Arthur does not have the power of persuasion apparently and there for can succomb to someone else using it.
- Arthur was able to use the Haitian's ability because Peter was exposed to it, and he stole Peter's powers, as mentioned in BTE interviews. Peter was exposed to Eden's ability when he visited Mohinder.
+ Maybe Angela's power is persuasion and she persuaded her self one day to see into the future.
- Just no, the actress improv is what made fans speculate on persuasion, it's not a power she has.
+ How about just yes? Then if she was improving what was Arthur doing? Improving to obey his enemy of a wife who he came to just kill and suddenly listens to her...
- Arthur is devious, people being confused by his actions and not knowing what he's planing is a plus for him. It also might give him more opportunities to manipulate her once she's out of the coma.
Angela has romantically involved with Victoria Pratt. None.

+ Victoria had no husband or children.

+ Angela was highly protective of Victoria's secrets. She thought Victoria's private life and whereabouts were none of Matt Parkman's business, perhaps because she and Victoria were involved.

+ Victoria preferred solitude and distanced herself from the other founders, yet Angela knew where to find her. Perhaps after Arthur, she sought companionship. It would explain how she knew about her children.

+ Angela had been involved with Kaito and possible Charles Devreaux as indicated in 1961, it is not inconceivable she was with Victoria.

- There is no proof, Angela is bisexual.

+ Angela seemed close with another female, Pam.
