'Heroes' Theories **SPOILERS**

[Kinicky]

As things unfold in this show, I thought I would enjoy making alink where we can discuss some theories about who is REALLY what, what is actually going on, or even predicting what will take place. I have a few of my own, so I'll start it off, and you can lemme know what you think. Again, this thread will have spoilers, so if you haven't seen it, get caught up here:

K, here goes.

I was heading this direction before the last trailer brought up this thought, but it would be interesting to figure out who the Cheerleader's father is. Her adopted father, I mean. I

We were initially led to believe that he is a bad guy - but I'm thinking otherwise. He has not tried to injure any of the Heroes he has come in contact with. With his lab, we know that he is studying them, and that he has an uncanny ability to track them down. I think he was partnered to some extent with the geneticist's father, and is using his research to track the genetic lines. After all, he has a plant with the geneticist... and adopting one such hero as a baby.. coincidence? I think not...

And Sylar - Is this an individual? Or an organization? The message found on the deceased scienticist's answering machine may lead us to believe that it is an individual, but the subsequent attacks Sylar has made utilize an array of different abilities. Which leads us to my last thought...

The nuclear explosion. Was it really a nuclear blast? We all ASSUMED it was because it bears the appearance of one, and those who glimpsed it thought so. But with the advent of the most recent discovery - the character with the ability to burn via touch and who leaves incredible amounts of radiation - I'm beginning to wonder if the blast comes from an individual with such capabilities, rather than a detonation.

Thoughts?
