When I first read your comment, I was like, Mr. Bennet? What's he doing here? Apparently, repeated viewings of Pride and Prejudice are detrimental.
But I want to believe the love comes from a place outside her powers, you know? Oh, definitely. See, this is where they need to elaborate a little further. From what we saw in the pilot, their powers were only starting to activate. Each seemed to know that there was something inherently special about himself, but it wasn't until around the time of the solar eclipse (not that it's linked, or hell, maybe it is) that their abilities came to the forefront. Or at least, that was my interpretation.
Something triggered their powers into action, and I like to think of it terms of what was stated in the first X-Men movie. The mutant genes were activated or whatever around puberty or sometime shortly thereafter.
So, back to Mr. Bennet. If Claire's powers were dormant all those years, I truly believe from what we've been shown that he loves and adores his daughter. Concerning his sidekick, I'm wondering if Mr. Bennet is a member of some part of a government group who has been keeping tabs on those who display certain abilities for years, hell, even decades. Perhaps some no-name PhD put forth this theory long before Papa Suresh had the knowledge and know-how to back it up.
Or it could go the other way completely, despite all evidence to the contrary. He could be out to protect the heroes.
His powers aren't as strong as anyone else (he can't fly as well as Peter and he can't paint the future as well as Isaac) but to be able to sample from all those different powers? Excellent. Dude. That is the power to have, imo. Never stuck with the true nuisance of one, like say poor Matt. There was also some speculation over at TWoP that perhaps he'll be able to use his empathic abilities to suss out what another hero's power is, which would be frackin' awesome.
Hiro is my hero of choice, too, and our glimpse at FutureHiro was pretty awesome.
I think I'm going to enjoy seeing how this all plays out. Ditto.
