Heroes Season [Volume] 2 (#29)---10/29/07-'The Line'

But Issac did not paint an alternate timeline, he painted the existing timeline. Unless you think that existing Hiro (and now Peter) are not part of our current timeline because they teleported to a alternate timeline and back. All of Issac's paintings have come true in our current timeline, the ones showing New York destroyed and Peter in the biohazard room both were painted before they lept to the future and saw those particular events. Once they did the paintings were true for our current timeline because someone in our current timeline experienced them (and remembers them) no matter what the real future holds.

Too further demonstrate my point in the series of eight this year the picture of Peter in the biohazard room is sequentially before the painting that looks like HRG being shot even though the Peter painting painting is theoretically in the future. This is because Peter experiences that (and is true for him) before the HRG painting in the current timeline.

The point is that Isaac painted stuff, and that stuff is not currently in whatever timeline happened. Therefor anything after that is questionable. It's certainly not impossible for the stuff to happen, but not the sure thing folks figured it'd be for the NY Blast. He's painting times, not experiences. I'm not sure if the "dead Bennet" painting is 8 of 8, sinc the others were out of order. I'm not sure why Prophecy Paintings would paint "experiences", it invalidates the entire concept.

Either way, I think the answer is that they should have had another Prophet Painter, rather than "finding" unknwon works by Isaac.
