This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
My theory is that the powers manifest when they are needed: Clare survived the fire, but she didn't know she had the magic healing until she was in her teens. Niki may have put earlier episodes of Jessica doing stuff down to alcoholic blackouts before she got sober. Nathan didn't fly until until it saved his life in the car crash. Hiro doesn't fit with this, but there's something weird going on with Hiro's power anyway - he has it, then it weakens, then he can do something new and he stil thinks he needs the sword. It's confusing!
On another hand (I expect to need several), hasn't it been implied that the current crop of Heroes' powers started manifesting around the same time inreponse to an as yet unknown threat to the Earth? So, maybe Clare's baby power was a flare in response to the earlier manifestation spree, and went dormant for a while (though Claude and teh Haitian have maintained their powers all along and Claire's mom probably did, too).
I remember thinking a while back that a hero had to be around another hero who already had active powers to activate their powers. I don't remember the evidence I had for it, but I think it came about after the episode where we see everyone developing their powers.
Matt & Ted seem to feel the neck marks led to their powers manifesting. eta: which ties in to sj's thought
Also, any thoughts on the tattoo that Jessica has but Niki does not?
Laura theory of the day. Linderman is daddy to Nathan and Peter.

I think they're wrong about that. Didn't we see Matt use his powers before that? I think the mindwipe might make them forget they had powers before. Was Matt near Sylar before his powers started to manifest?
Matt keeps saying that his powers didn't manifest until after he was abducted, but we saw him hearing thoughts before that. Didn't we?
The Haitian Kid in the flashback was wearing a necklace that's the same symbols as Jessica's tattoo. I assumed it was something Company related, but now that we know he has another agenda, maybe he and Jessica have something else in common.
I really wish I had saved all the episodes, because I am feeling the need to watch the whole thing again from the beginning.
The symbol shows up a bunch of places. On the sword too, right? And in Isaac's paintings.
Ted and Matt only have some of the symbol, right?
Clare survived the fire, but she didn't know she had the magic healing until she was in her teens.
Do we have anything that points to the fact that Claire was actually in the fiery building when it went up? Could someone have snitched her out of the building, allowing the mom to think she had been killed to function as a cover? They could know that biomom has powers and want to study Claire.
I think so. Partial symbol on Ted and Matt, symbol on sword (was that on the replica or on a picture of the actual sword, I forget? I remember seeing it and going "Oooooh", but that's about all), symbol on Jessica, symbol necklace on the Haitian (I hope we learn a name for him soon, calling him the Haitian is kind of icky)...I don't remember the association with paintings.
Put it all together and I have no idea what it means.
