My theory?

SYLAR.

What does "light" do - it shows you the way.
What does Sylar's ability do? Well, as confirmed last night, it can help show Peter what he needs to do to avoid the grim future.

Not to mention that in the promo pic of the 5-10 of them on that mountain, Sylar's hand is surrounding a ball of yellow light.

Thoughts?

I think the yellow light ball we see at sylars promo pick is a reference to sylar being a bomb at episode 4, just that. Remember when sylar took radiokinesys the first time? he was doing yellow lightballs at the end of that chapter while being at the top of the building and then he says "boom".

The pure thing could mean different things, like is pure the one whose blood have never being mixed or in contact with any other substance or element, including another blood. It could work in both ways, normal or special. Since normal is not likely, i would say that it has to be "specially normal", being a person whose blood is inmune to the formula or a person whose ability is to being inmune to the formula or any external factor of his system (aka body). The later, kind of remind of... yes... the haitian of even his brother, samidi (or is it samadi?), whom is suppoused to be inmune of the haitian powers... hmmm... isn't him suppoused to apper in the last episodes of the first volume? hmm.... interesting.... Razz

Ok, couldn't edit my last post... but i just wanted to say that, the "specially normal" thing of my theory fits in another description of pure, which refers to the fact that even if you want to mix it or alter it (in this case "it" being "blood") the object itself just can't be mixed nor altered in anyway...

Sylar is said by the company to have "impure" blood because of all the abilities hes been absorbing. (back when he was DNA mixing because he was eating brains... another plot hole...)

Hmm, my thoughts on this "the light" is actually either Elle or Adam. "The Pure Blood" might actually refer to a person who's born to parents who had no ability (and I'm going to go by a theory that Elle might actually be Noah's daughter given by Jack's hints).

As I've stated before, I think it might be Claire. Sylar said she was "special", that she didn't understand the full impact of her ability. He even said that he couldn't kill her even if he wanted to - that she could never die. ("And now, I guess, neither can I.")

I believe that Claire's ability may be an advancement of Adam's healing power, to the point of making her completely indestructible. Adam hints that it is possible to put an end to him by removing his head ("There's no coming back from that one."). He may have been lying to Peter, but if he wasn't, then perhaps Claire's power is a step above Adam's.

Yeah, I'm much more inclined to believe Adam is the pure blood.

Something else I wanted to bring up just now after watching "I am become death" a second time is that I think Linderman is the one manipulating everybody as Angela pointed out to Hiro. She said something about a person that can't be seen, which would explain why she wants Hiro to dig Adam up.

I'm gonna go with Adam. A) he was the first of the specials (that we know of). B) he doesn't seem to have any ability other than the one that we are aware of. C) he was "apart of the company" for a bit so maybe they used his blood as their basis for building this formula. D) if he was considered "the light" or "pure blood" by the others that would explain his self-righteous attitude and his intent on "knowing what's best for the greater good"...... A lot of "quotes" I know. Sorry. But why else would Hiro dig him back up?

I don't know, but personally, this season is becoming my favorite one quite quickly. But I'll tell ya, after that two-hour premeire I feel let down with just an hour of it every Monday. I hope the season finale is two hours of just ACTION! Sylar is the god damn man!

IMO the possibilities of this "light" one

There's Adam: The original Hero, Angela tells Hiro to retrieve him because he is the key. Unfortunately he dies in an episode titled "the Dying of the Light"

There's Elle: at the end of that first episode, when Sylar tries to cut her head open she bursts in light. Also, she was labeled "Elle the Executioner" in season 2 by Mohinder, did she kill the people with abilities that the company saw as a threat?

There's Sylar: I don't think it is him, but he is a possibility, and that may be why Future Peter says it's his ability that is needed to save the World.

Then there's Peter: He could potentially have everyones power just by coming in contact with them. But he doesn't have his abilities. I think the reason he needed Sylars ability was to regain his ability since he came in contact many times but never gained it til he was taught. Perhaps Aurthur didn't get that one from him?, Arthur did say when he took Maya's ability that he leave's nothing. So I don't know.

There is also the possibility of the writers coming up with something absolutely crazy that works. We'll see.
