Theory:Agent (electromagnetism)

- With the exception of Matt and his father, most of the Heroes families appear to inherit only the ability to have a power, and end up generating a different power than their parents.

• How do we know that Claire isn't secretly Adam's daughter? Or that West Rosen and her weren't somehow switched at birth (making West Nathan's son) Both things that could not be put past The Company.

+ It could be that if only one parent has a power, the child inherits a form/variation of their parent's power.
- To date, no character introduced in the graphic novels has later been revealed to have a "hidden connection" with another character. In fact, rarely do the graphic novel characters appear in subsequent graphic novels or even receive episodic mentions.
