Scroll down to the "Path of the Righteous" and "Hell's Angel" might be a clue as to who Claude was protecting.


You think it was Claire's biological mother? He's not the girl's biological father, though. Did he or the mother mean for the girl to be endangered by the fire?

I think Claude knew Claire would be alright and he promised to get her out of there. More to the point - the fire was just a cover for her to get away. And she did. Went off grid - down to Mexico and vanished.

A person nobody is looking for is rarely found.
 

There is a post on the Heroes Wiki which was rather insightful.

The theory is that someone out there, Linderman it appears, is trying to breed the mutants, deliberately.

It is no accident that Nathan Petrelli conceives a child with Claire's mother. It is no accident that DL and Jessica are together either.

And it was no accident that Nikki was asked to sleep with Nathan Petrelli. The motive was not to make a blackmail tape - it was an attempt to get Jessica pregnant.

What they're looking for - the breeding program - was alluded to by Claude when he discussed the pigeons with Peter. They've been trying to breed a super mutant. And they have succeeded.

The success - their Kwisatz Haderach as it were, is Peter Petrelli. He's the superman.

Taking the theory a step further...

The truly scary incarnation of Peter is one that has come into contact with both Hannah "Wireless" and Micah (DL and Nikki's son).

If Peter absorbs the powers of both of them, there is no computer on the planet he cannot reach or control - from anywhere. Encryption cannot stop him. Physical barriers and distance cannot stop him. He becomes Lawnmower Man. (Or, if you prefer him in the flying & super-healing version, Neo).

The unlooked for wild card in all of this and the one they didn't see coming - the Mule - is Sylar.

Interesting theory, I like it. If true, I wonder if Sylar was similarly bred.

This would imply that mother Petrelli has powers, along with the theory that father Petrelli does.
 

I think Haitian just wiped Bennet's mind of any plans they discussed for Claire. Bennet may have provided him with some resources for going on the lamb, and didn't want those secrets spilled.

So, how much radiation does it take to give someone cancer? I'm thinking Matt and the Bennets soaked up quite a bit.

Question: what happened to power-dampening?

There have been some changes in writers. The Haitian's abilities were rather nebulously defined.

And in reply to someone else, HRG's first shot at Claude definitely wasn't on purpose.

What, do you think it was the gun fairy? Yes, he was shaken up after he shot Claude. People can surprise themselves that way.

Who was Claude hiding when he got taken out? (P.S.- Anybody remember how many years ago that part was? Might give us a clue to who he was hiding...)

I think we're probably giving this show a little too much credit for having the entire plot laid out in advance. Some stuff is getting made up as they go along.

But here's the flashback timeline:

15 years ago--Bennet lands his job and partners up with Claude.
14 years ago--Bennet adopts Claire.
7 years ago--Bennet shoots Claude on the bridge.
3 years ago--Bennet and Claire pick out HRG's for HRG.

I doubt there's a gun fairy hero, but I think it will be revealed that his hand was somehow forced. Watch the scene again. You'll see that his first shot wasn't braced, that he was casually holding the gun close to his body. The next two shots, which are clearly purposeful, are braced and done professionally. He's clearly trained with a gun, and there was no reason in the world for him to fire at that moment.
