---|---|---|
Matt Jr. is the catalyst. | Matt Jr. partially restored Hiro's powers. (Cold Snap) | + A catalyst is a substance that initiates or accelerates a reaction. + If Matt Jr. is not the catalyst, there is no more catalyst. |
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 Tracy and Daphne and restoring Hiro's powers. |
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.
|
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.
|
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. can only activate or deactivate an ability that someone already has. e.g He turn Hiro's power on, he didn't give it to him; he turned the car on and off, he didn't make it fly. |
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.
|
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".
+ 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.
|
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.
- 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., if supercharged by Ando, could restore Hiro and Peter's power to their original form and strength. | None. | + He was able to partially restore Hiro's ability. + It's a logical effect.
+ Bryan Fuller was brought back to bring back the "original flavor" of the series; by this logic, it's likely he will us Matt Jr. to reactivate Peter's original ability. |
Multifaceted abilities actually have multiple separate "switches" that Matt Jr. can toggle. | None. | + After Matt Jr. touched Hiro, one aspect of his ability is restored perfectly, while another facet is absent entirely. + Some abilities, especially in cases such as The Haitian, could "really" be multiple, but related abilities. |
