Theories

Theory Citations Notes
Matt Jr.'s power will allow Peter to correct his power. Matt partially restored Hiro's powers. (Cold Snap) + He was able to turn on part of Hiro's time powers, thus he will be able to turn on Peter empath powers and allow more than one power.

+ Bryan Fuller was brought in to restore the show to original feeling and is already undoing Jeph Loeb's changes by getting rid of Tracey and Daphne and restoring Hiro's powers.
- Peter isn't missing his ability or has it deactivated, he has a new ability, not a weakened version.
+ Hiro's power was taken away but must still be present for it to be re-activated, it would be reasonable that Peter's oringinal power still be present also.

Matt Jr. can revive dead, or at least create zombies. None. + If he can make non-living objects move, and manipulate evolved humans' DNA, why not corpses?

- Turning on an ability or a toy is not the same as completely restoring someone who died. This power would more likely create zombies, as stated, but it is highly doubtful the show would take this direction.
+ If somebody with ability to heal uses it on a zombie, it may be enough to revive it literally.
+ What if baby Matt could turn on people's hearts? That would surely revive them.

He'd need to activate all the organs, not just the heart.
Matt Parkman Jr. (if he can revive corpses like suggested in the above theory) will revive Daphne. None. + His father would want to get Daphne back.

- Turning on an ability or a toy is not the same as completely restoring someone who died. This power would more likely create zombies, as stated in the above theory, but it is highly doubtful the show would take this direction.
+ If somebody with ability to heal uses it on a zombie, it may be enough to revive it literally.

Matt Parkman Jr. can disable the abilities of evolved humans indefinitely. He used his ability to turn off the television. + His ability was able to "turn on" Hiro's.
If Ando supercharges Matt Jr., he will be able to restore abilities of depowered evolved humans fully or even give them to non-powered people. Normally-powered, Matt Jr. was able to restore half of Hiro's powers. (Cold Snap) + Since he partially restored Hiro's ability, baby Matt can manipulate human DNA - the part of it which contains (latent) abilities.

+ Supercharging vastly enhances the effects of abilities.

Matt Parkman Jr. can give abilities to anyone, but will only do so for people he likes. None. + There isn't necessarily a difference between Hiro and a nonpowered human that would allow only Hiro to gain power from Matt Parkman Jr.
- Hiro naturally manifested an ability, that makes him different, even if he had this ability taken, he still had his evolved human genes.
Matt Parkman Jr. will give Danko an ability. None. + This would be an ironic twist for Danko, since he despises people with abilities and this would undermine his entire mentality.
Matt Parkman Jr. will deactivate Sylar's ability. None. + He turned Hiro's ability on, why wouldn't he be able to turn Sylar's off?

- Sylar could realize that baby Matt had an ability and take it before the baby can touch Sylar to deactivate his powers.

+ Sylar doesn't automatically know someone has an ability; he thought Jackie Wilcox had an ability, the same can happen with Matt Jr.. Sylar once used Molly as a bait to force Mohinder to go see him, he'd use Matt Jr. as a bait for something, since he doesn't know the baby has an ability that is a threat to him.
+ There is no way the writers would have a baby murdered on the show.
They already killed Future Sylar's son.
He was a child, not a baby.
An uncatalyzed formula in conjunction with Matt Jr.'s ability can grant stable abilities to humans. None. + Matt Parkman Jr. was able to give Hiro his abilities back, presumably because he already had the appropriate DNA to use an ability. The genetic modification formula should be sufficient to grant the appropriate DNA, since the catalyst had something to do with "bonding enzymes".
- Matt Jr. is more akin to the formula itself; the catalyst does not grant abilities by itself.
+ The catalyst likely would grant abilities to those who had the DNA already. It seems less likely that Matt Jr. can alter DNA (which is what the formula does).

+ The catalyst appeared to be more akin to an ability than a scientific thing, so its possible that the right ability could provide the same sort of 'magic spark'. Matt Parkman Jr.'s ability may be just such an ability.

- Mohinder told Tracy that he would be able to replicate the catalyst if he had a sample of the catalyzed formula.
He also said in It's Coming that the catalyst isn't a substance.
There's a reason for Matt Jr.'s ability not to be the same as his father's and grandfather's. None. Perhaps Janice Parkman has an ability that never manifested.

Perhaps the formula giving people powers through genetics drastically changes two generations from the initial injection.

Neither Maury nor Matt Sr. were said to have synthetic abilities.

- Just because Matt Sr. developed the same ability as his father, it doesn't mean his son has to develop the same ability.

Matt Jr. is Matt's son from the first alternate future. None. + They are both people of interest.

+ They have the same name.
+ They share a mother.

+ There's no evidence that Janice was pregnant twice.
