Sylar

[superhippie2000]

Talk about Sylar here.


His powers are cool. he seems like he can superspeed and he is telekentic so thats awsome. and he eats brains maybe he is part zombie.

[chlarkfan333]

I wonder if Sylar is going to turn out to be a character that has already been introduced or someone new?

[superhippie2000]

i dont know. im guessing if you ever see that watch on anyone you know its him.

[Novak Fan]

I think that he'll be someone new, I really hope so. So no, I don't think he is Peter . Period. :p

[superhippie2000]

know what i noticed i assume he eats the brains and other people probably do to but was there anything said that he eats the brains they are always just stolen.

[Randy G.]

Here we go........Zachary Quinto (Sylar) from NBC's "Heroes." ;)

*also posted it the Homecoming episode thread. (Since we saw his face better tonight).

[bucketofwater]

Where do we get the idea that Sylar takes the powers of those whose brain he steals? Where does that originate from? Thanks

[superhippie2000]

ya i was assuming he did. and like i said above that i have no idea why its assumed. probably cause what else will he do with brains.

[Uffr]

There's ton to do with brians. Maybe he's making a brain museum. It's so incredibly likely.

[superhippie2000]

lol true. or he could be making a robot with a super brain.

[Uffr]

There are so many possibilities for mutant brains these days.

[ramjeetp]

Hi all

Whatever he does with the brains, its a very brutal way to kill someone, no matter what powers they have!

The actor playing Sylar was in 24 (Day 3 I think). He wasn't that good in that show, so I hope he is better in this show, when we finally see him have some lines hehe.

Scramble in some cheese, green peppers, & onions.
Might make a nice omelet. :\ :lol:

[superhippie2000]

lol

[Spoon AZ]

I don't really understand the need to keep his face hidden for so long if he isn't an already established character.

But he is indeed played by Quinto of "24" fame.

[superhippie2000]

his hidden face keeps ratings so people would watch to find out hummm who is this mytrious brain stealer.

[Another-One]

I think Sylar's powers are telekinetic only.

How does he move so fast then? With telekinetic powers he can propel himself at faster speeds.

How is able to fly(assuming he can)? He can will himself to fly.

How can freeze things(assuming he's the one doing the freezing)? With telekinetic powers he can manipulate air particles to freeze his victums.

[Randy G.]

I'm quite sure Sylars' powers, once belonged to fallen heroes.
He hunts them down, kills them, and retains their abilities.
It's basically an advanced version of Peters gift.
It is rumored that Sylar either consumes (eww!) the brains (power source) or simply drains it of power,
thus retaining the abilities long-term.

He's on a quest for ultimate power. The more Heroes he consumes, the closer he gets to being all powerful. :cool:

[superhippie2000]

he should have taken the *****y cheerleaders brain then it would be funny seeing him walk around treating everyone like crap.

[Randy G.]

....in a cheerleading outfit. With Pom poms. That would make him much less scary.:lol:

No wait ...... then he'd be scarier in a different way. :\ :rotfl:

[superhippie2000]

ya he would lol.

seems sylar has a real name now. gabriel gray. and when clean shaven he looks like superman/clark kent. i think now that they are brining his character in more as a person rather then a shadow figure we might get some good storylines out of him.

[vyperman7]

It is almost eerie how much the actor who plays Sylar looks and sounds like Brandon Routh. Until we saw the actor's face, and only heard his voice, I would have sworn that BR had been cast for the role. Even though we know it isn't BR playing the character, the actor chosen for the character looks like he could easliy be BR's brother.

[Sharkie]

I think Sylar's power is to sense other powers.

[chlarkfan333]

Vyperman7, you read my mind!!! :p My first thought upon seeing Sylar was Brandon Routh (esp. given the broad noses they have) and also that Sylar looks like one would expect Clark Kent to look.

[Ireallylikethisshow]

I don't think Sylar's after power, actually quite the opposite imo. I think he's just trying to kill people w/ special abilities because he doesn't believe they should be alive. Actually, I think he hates the fact that he has abilities too. He's hunting special people down, and killing them but I don't think he's taking their powers.

I think Sylar is an extremist *cough* nut job *cough*. I don't know what does w/ the brains. But I'm sort of estimating this. Compared to what they found in his secret area in his home. (Ironically his home is freakishly clean!!!!) And the "Father, I have sinned" written 10000 times upon the wall.

I think so too...

I agree. His ability, while not fully manifested, was able to help him determine how something is broken. When his ability came into fruition however, it was able to help him find abnormalities in humans (specifically, superhumans) and take said abnormalities for himself. Hence why he was able to demonstrate telekinesis after meeting with that guy. It also fits into that whole "save the cheerleader, save the world" thing; if Sylar had gotten Claire's regenerative powers, he'd be virtually unstoppable combined with his other stolen abilities.

[Randy G.]

Yeah, if Pete would just take a cue from Sylar, he would munch on Nathan's brain.
Then he could fly full time. :lol: :)

[Ireallylikethisshow]

I was totally wrong! I just saw the new episodes! (I was behind)

Ya'll are right, Sylar has been stealing powers!

But he does have a power on his own. I mean, he was already special and if he had used his own power "The power to understand and fix things" he could be curing people of brain tumors and other diseases, but instead he steals other peoples powers. Crazy Sylar!

[gameface25]

I like the idea and all, but a villian of this type would seem to fit better in a later season, as someone who can steal and maintain powers would be just about the ultimate enemy. Unless they plan on letting him be the main villian all through the series, ala Lex Luthor, and then just vary the plot around him.

He does have a smart yet twisted "psycho killer" personality down to a perfection, which would be great for a role over multiple seasons



Now if he would just kill Nathan, get the ability to fly and at the same time, get rid of the a$$hole we all despise =)

[boywithbluehanger]

Sylar is one creepy dude, he looks grubby. Even if he became a good guy he'd still give me the creeps...much like how some of the X-Men looked at Nightcrawler at first.

[kryptonut]

How ever he does it, he seems to have the ability to steel other peoples powers.


(using the narrative voice)
....but will he be able to control them all, or will it be his undoing?

[Ireallylikethisshow]

^ LOL, but he does get the power from some area in the brain. Says the show...

[<Adam Knight>]

Syalr is awesoem!! love him!!!!!!:D

[SuperConartist]

the part i don't understand about sylar is how the heck does he gain people's powers by killing them? Does he kill them and rip their brain out and somehow fix it into his?

[ginnyfan]

I really enjoyed seeing Sylar's backstory. His feverish quest to be special... the covetous, devouring look he gave the chubby sweet guy with telekenisis... it was all just perfect. It made him so, so much creepier than any strange dark obsuring shadow could.

That said, DIE SYLAR DIE!!!!!

[Addictedtosmllvill]

His powers have got to be more than just telekenisis- he just points and their heads open up!

[Chlarkerlover]

*pop*:lol:

[ginnyfan]

What powers has he gobbled up so far?

Telekenesis.

The ability to freeze stuff.

Does he have impervious skin? He taunted Eve that she wouldn't be able to kill him with that gun... Or could he stop the bullet with his mind?

He didn't eat Eve so... no mind control for Sylar. But he did eat Charlie so...

Remembers things.

Anything else?

I think his Clock fixing power is also what helps him with his brain munching... I don't see how they'd be connected but he thought of a Clock when he munched the first guys brain in Six Months Ago.

[chrisxs5]

He sees the inner workings of the brain as parts, like a watch. He is able to tell how their brains work and what parts give them their powers. So he can take the parts that give them there powers and add them to himself. In other words he is building the ultimate brain.

[zelly]

So.. does he eat the brains to add them???

[ginnyfan]

That's what I assumed, but sort of in line with what chrisxs5 said above... some people have suggested that he just needs to see the brain or something like that and it works sort of the way the watch works. He sees how it works and can make ordinary watches extraordinary or something...

I don't get it but... may be more complicated than just eating.

[superhippie2000]

ya i want to learn more about his power and how he gets it too. kind of wonder how when he killed that first guy he knew to do what he needed to do with the brain.

[Ireallylikethisshow]

I don't think he eats the brain... I think he preforms surgery, but I'm not sure. Eating them sounds a bit grim/gross, and medically toxic. He probably uses telekinesis with the surgery now. But since he has the natural ability to see how things work and how to fix them- he learned it from the first person he stole a power from.

I don't know though, we all might just have to wait and see :)

[chrisxs5]

Makes you wonder also if Peter can use Sylars added abilities our if he can only use them with their original owner?

[ProdigalSon1979]

Great character from powers to personality. One of the best villains I've seen on any show...He isnt evil...he is insane....And the moral story of wanting to be special so much you'll kill for it is great...One of the seven deadly sins..ENVY

[Ireallylikethisshow]

^ agree, he's a pretty unique villian. :) Good job Heroes!

[jedikent]

sylar is pretty much my fave villian but hes got the badass power!! a super photographic memory for powers!!

[Marcey]

Sylar is probably my fav character on the show, hes turned out to be awesome. Plus hes hot.

[Saviour of Earth]

he isnt that unique of a villian Voldemort is very similiar.
And to answer someone elses question on whether peter could mimic/absorb his powers. I think the answer is yes i think it has to do more with peters genetic code rather than the person he is mimicing.

[shadow4486]

Zack Quinto really plays the duality of Sylar well. The evil and the naivete that he portrays as "Zack Taylor". Maybe he took super acting as a power.

[Dusk919]

Did anybody notice how when Dale Smither said that her ability to hear everything was the best thing to happen to her, Sylar looked kinda puzzled?

You also got to hear that tick-tock sound when she did it too. So maybe his intuitive aptitude picked up on something different from her?

[christian_kryptonian]

I do NOT see the similarites to Voldemort here. Don't get me wrong, I like Harry Potter, but the comparison is not there. Sylar is a man gifted with power and he misuses it. Voldemort is just freaking EVIL. lol I like Sylar. I am still VERY curious about the angry weird voice hegets sometimes. The one Peter used when he used Telekenisis on Isaac...

[chrisxs5]

Behold! The power of the Barry White voice.

[Dusk919]

I wonder if Sylar has superspeed as a power. That's one of the few cliche powers that they haven't shown on here so maybe he's already taken it from somebody.

He had Nathan's picture on his map when Mohinder and Eden went into his apartment. Why didn't he already kill Nathan since they were both in NY? I think I would kill everybody I was near before I started moving to other cities but I guess it was probably to keep anyone from noticing some sort of pattern.

[phantom222]

thats a good question.isaac was apparently on the list as well,as was peter and matt,y wouldnt he get peter isaac and nathan first?i hadnt thought of that

[Skoellya]

Peter wasn't on the list. At the end of six moths ago (an important episode) the list was briefly (very briefly) shown. And Peter wasn't anywhere on it (Mohinder also didn't believe him when Peter first visited his apartment). Besides, the List has the names of people, not their addresses. Mohinder has to hunt those down himself. I think Sylar wouldn't go after Nathan just yet anyway, because he would be too high profile and draw too much attention.

[Dusk919]

Mohinder did say Peter was on the list and so was Nathan. He told Nathan that when he went to see Mohinder about his brother to figure out if Peter was going to possibly explode.

[Superboy2]

How did Chandra get a list of names but not addresses? And without taking blood samples b4 hand, how could he suspect they have powers?

[Kalel33076]

They all had their DNA on file because they volunteered for the human genome project

[Skoellya]

Hmm. I'll have to re-watch that. I just thought it was odd when I read the list that Peter was not next to his brother on it. And he didn't appear on the big map thingy, too. *shrug* my bad!

[angeloo]

i didnt see peter on the map dont remember on the list or not... but i think some1 is telling sylar who to go after because it would just be stupid to go to different states when theres 5 people with abilities in the same place.. and also the episode where parkman caught up to him why didnt he kill parkman?unless he leaves the state so its harder for people to find him idk

[chrisxs5]

Sylar only knows someone has a power if he sees them use it. He never saw Parkman use it. Also the names he had from the list were from daddy Suresh. Then he went with Mo to get Dale and then he had a look at the list with Mo.

[DiscoDyslexic]

Anyone think he'll be good someday. as to repent for his ways. realizing that he is bigger than he thought. more important, maybe when the time comes, and the moment calls, he'll forget about his goals for more power, and use his skills, and really make a difference. he'll use his power to save the world.

all he ever wanted was to be important, change something, be different, if anyone should have powers it's him.
All he had was intuitive apptitude. now he's got at least five more. And if that werent enought he exhibits control. he's the only one truly using and embracing his power.

I'd be angry to if some jerk out there had telekenisis and didnt want, or use, it.

Maybe thats a lot of hopeful thinking.

i brought that up before dont know if it was on this topic to lazy to check lol, but i thought after he realized was "special" and realized that there was some1 who was more evovled then him (peter) that he would save a hero or do something good for the heroes

[UDStyle]

Would it be a good guess that Sylar's favorite movie is "Hannibal"?

[SenWinchesterKent]

Sylar's one of my favorite characters on "Heroes". He's hot, so why is he the bad guy if he's so hot? (Please--don't call me a traitor for this! :eek: ) "Heroes" is another one of my favorite shows! :)

[chrisxs5]

lol:lol: I would be inclined to agree with you!

[Imzadia]

Guys...? PLEASE, Don't make me sift through this WHOLE thread to get an answer. I guess there are 'other' places to get the answer to my question, but I figured you all will have had many discussions about this. Ok...
I would like someone who REALLY KNOWS the answer to tell me HOW, EXACTLY, DOES SYLAR 'EXTRACT' HIS VICTIMS' POWER?

He splits their heads open, exposes their brains, ...and then what? Usually, if there's a shot of the victim, their brains are still in their skulls, blood is oozing all over underneath them, so I don't understand what happens. It's a real puzzle for me. Did you all find out that answer, yet? PLEASE, TELL ME WHAT IT IS! IT'S 'DRIVING' ME & HAS BECOME ANNOYING! HELP!! At least, guide me to where I might learn the answer.
Thanks

:eek: I'm sorry, but THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR MURDERING INNOCENT PEOPLE!!! :eek: I know that Tim Kring said in an interview that maybe Sylar would be getting some sympathy later on in this season, I STILL didn't find that Time. I don't care IF ALL HE EVER WANTED WAS TO BE IMPORTANT, Gabriel/SYLAR IS A TOTAL PSYCHOPATH! HE JUSTIFIES HIS MURDERS BY DECIDING THAT OTHERS WHO HAVE POWERS 'DON'T DESERVE THEM', SO how did he become god-like in 'his' wisdom in this situation? Maybe it's just me, but I don't think I'll EVER feel sympathy for him. He MOMENTARILY thought that it Might be wrong to kill all the people who would be in range of the 'exploding man' in New York. NOTE, it was only 'momentarily' a passing thought. PLEASE, he needs to die!! I hate it when villains continue to escape retribution. Everything within the scope of "Heroes" CAN NOT revolve around Sylar...I'm hoping. :\ :o I would be so disappointed if he prevails throughout next season as well. :confused: Granted, ANYONE can be saved IF they truly get a Revelation of the scope of their wrong-doing AND wish to Change...for example "Angel". It's almost like there was too much Wrong to Ever be able to Right it all, but it's the effort that matters, especially to those who are saved or helped in the meantime. So, I hope you understand what I'm trying to say in regards to Mr. Sylar. ;)

[Dusk919]

It was confirmed either after Ep 16 or 18 that he eats the brains.

[Imzadia]

:eek: Are you really sure Sylar EATS their brains? :confused: I've never seen blood anywhere around his mouth after he kills. Even the painting of Issac on the floor after being murdered still had his brain intact...just exposed. I don't think that's how he does it. :rolleyes: Well, there's a Heroes' Marathon on the SciFi channel today, all day. Maybe I'll learn something I may have missed, except I won't be able to watch ALL of the episodes. :confused: The season 1 DVD set is supposed to be coming out soon, so maybe if I buy it, I'll be able to find the answer somewhere in there. :\ Thanks anyway. :)

[Heenleo]

Well, they hint it many times that he eats their brains. Its purposely vague. Like when Sylar said something like "Give me the List... so I can sink my teeth in!"

[Imzadia]

:eek: I believe you're RIGHT!! I watched the early episodes on Saturday's SciFi Channel's Heroes Marathon. I saw when Hiro had first teleported to the future and went to visit Issac after he found the Comic Book dipicting he and Ando's travels. I saw when he first found Issac dead and Issac's head DIDN'T have his brains in it. It's ssooo gory!!:eek: I HAD forgotten that important detail. It was like they aired the episodes to make sure I got my answer. :p It's gross and I hope Sylar dies soon. He just CAN'T keep that up for much longer. Thanks for your help. :)

[Dusk919]

I don't mean that it was confirmed by an ep I mean it was confirmed by the producers or the writers or somebody.

[Uffr]

Eating brains. An awesome power if there ever was one. Still a little weird though. How would he know to eat them?

[Imzadia]

Originally posted by Uffr

According to what's been going on since he started his rampaging, murderous search, is that Sylar either 'hears of' someone with a power, or saw the name on the 'list'.......or he accompanied Mohinder. He can't 'feel' whether or not someone has a 'power'. Just like when he'd 'heard' about the 'cheerleader' with powers he went after her. However, when he got to the school, Claire's fellow-cheerleader 'claimed' that she'd been the cheerleader 'on the TV news report' who had gone into that fire to save the person. She wanted the attention, and Claire didn't so she allowed the other girl to take the credit for her heroics. Sylar 'assumed' that the other girl was his target. It was only after he'd thrown Claire into a wall and broken her bones while he was murdering the 'other' cheerleader that he realized it was Claire who had the powers he wanted to Steal...when he saw her Regenerating. That's how he knows whose brain he wants to 'eat'. Just like Sylar knew from experience that Ando didn't have any powers, so he let him know that he didn't have any interest in eating his brain in the next to the last episode of the season. ;) That's also why he was desparate for Mohinder's father's list. It's the only sure lead to every person with a power that's been discovered. :eek: I hope he NEVER gets his hands on that list! :eek:

[chrisxs5]

He's taking the list and checking it twice,
Gonna find our who's evolved and nice,
Sylar Claus is coming to town.

You better watch out, you usually scream
Better try to hide, you know what I mean
Sylar Claus is coming to town.

He sees you when you're hearts beating,
He want to eat your brain,
He knows if you'll taste good or not
So run for goodness sake.

You better watch out, you usually scream
Better not pout, I'm telling you why
Sylar Claus is coming to town.

lol... thats awesome! Good job ;)....

Sylar Is my favourite character on the show.. hands down. Sure.. he eats brains.. thats a little weird... i get it... but he is just so deliciously evil.. and SO good at it, and he has that soft side.. you know its true.. you've all seen it! At the beginning.. then with his mother.. um... before he killed her and all... *cough* anyways... He is the villian who just takes you in whether you hate him or love him its a strong feeling either way.. and he is the bad guy with the broken heart. I have a feeling though... if these rumors about the claire/Sylar relationship are true.. then chances are.. he'll turn good.. which i hate.. they do that kinda thing all the time, it drives me nuts... but what can you do.. and.. ya..Sylar ROCKS MY SOCKS!

[Sweetie]

I love Sylar too.He's one of my favorites. When he appears on a scene,my heart starts beating really fast not only because he's extremely dangerous but,he's also dreamy(specially with glasses).I hope he stays a vilain then he could become nice at the very end of the series.He's great as a bad guy :)

[Ranroc]

Some of you have issues but Sylar is an interesting character on the show. Now if you would like to see more of him check out the new Star Trek movie that will be out I believe next year

[Lex'sLover]

i heard about that! I really want to see it. Spock always was my favourite character lol....

and my heart races when i see him too! and was so dissapointed in the first episode... i was waiting and waiting and waiting and he never showed... i was so sad :( When Ms. Petrelli walked in on the roof i thought it was going to be Sylar at first and my heart did started to race and it wasnt even him :(. It was horrible

[XSE_Greystone]

So do we think Sylar has Charlie's power or not? Yes Hiro went back in time to try and stop him but then he also accidentally ported back to Japan and couldn't return. And when Isaac, Hiro, and Ando are at the cafe Ando says Sylar killed her. So is he referring to the first time we see Charlie die or since Hiro ported away too soon did Sylar end up getting her after all?

[Dusk919]

Sylar has Charlie's power. It was confirmed in one of the Graphic Novels.

[XSE_Greystone]

I really need to read those graphic
novels. I guess that's just a power you can't really show unless he actually says i remember everything. Like my friend said it'd be a lot easier looking at the map and the list once and remember where everyones at without having to go back to the map every time.

Plus he'll never feel awkward being at a party ever again when someone comes up to him and starts talking to him, he'll actually remember their name instead of just standing there like *uuhhhhhhh*.

Does anybody know if NBC or whatever is going to get someone to publish the graphic novels so i could buy it instead of having to wait for the pages to load and then wait for them to load in read mode?

[phelan120]

yeah, dc comics is publishing them under the wildstorm banner in i beleive november , at least the first 30 some issues.


check out www.dccomics.com

[XSE_Greystone]

SWEET...thanks man.

[GenghisK]

oh man, i LOVE Sylar. he is my favorite character on the show (along w/ Hiro), cause i love the villains. i can't help it, most of the actors do such an amazing job to make be believe for the hour that they truly are evil.

i am wondering what will become of Sylar this season. i know he will wants Claire, & prolly won't ever get her powers. you know?

i seriously hope they keep him on the show for many future seasons, cause he seems to be one of those villains that you have to keep around (like Lex Luthor, The Joker).

as for the graphic novels/comics...i really want to get them. but i don't think i will ever, considering my job doesn't pay that much. the joys of being working class...lol... oh well, i will get them somehow...*evil laugh*

anyway, i can't wait for next weeks episode, i want to see him get in the car w/ Maya & Alejandro (i think i spelled his name right).

i must ask, what are the rumors about this Sylar & Claire relationship??? i would really like to know. i got bored earlier & actually read some fan-fictions, & one about Sylar & Claire caught my eye. i never thought of them as love interests, until i read that story...so i must know this rumor!!! lol...

btw, did anyone else notice that Maya & Alejandro got into Claire's stolen car when they escaped the jail w/ that dude? & then Sylar will prolly get into that exact same car...

[TKFlash]

I don't understand the fact that Sylar can't use his abilites. If thier abilities come from thier brain, why would it matter if he hurt his chest. My guesses are that he doesn't have the will to use them(which I highly doubt) or someone is blocking his powers. I don't know if he even got Candices power because if his powers aren't working than his intuitive aptitude shouldn't be working thus he couldn't have took her ability.

What do you guys think?

I was thinking the same thing. But my friend said that maybe since he's been doing it a while now (taking peoples powers) then maybe he knows where they are in the brain and how to get them from doing it so much. Which makes since too.

I don't know if he even got Candices power because if his powers aren't working than his intuitive aptitude shouldn't be working thus he couldn't have took her ability.

What do you guys think?

:rolleyes: Hi guys. I guess a lot of us have been asking the same questions wondering what's happening with Sylar. I think that Sylar's 'special' power is knowing 'where' in the brain the connection is made that 'alters' humans and makes us 'super'. Remember...he had a 'special talent' that made him an 'exceptional' clock/watch 'fixer'? He said that he could 'see' with his 'instinctive skill' how they worked. So maybe, it's only because he's Physically weakened because of his near fatal injury that he was unable to continue using his Stolen abilities Or steal Candace's. I don't think he was able to steal Candace's power. She told him that he needed to complete his healing. Sylar's just an impatient serial killer who's insatiable for power so he can 'feel' Special. :\ He'll most likely get only some of them back after he's healed. I'm thinking this way because he's only a 'Parasite' with no real ability other than as a 'locator'. I still don't quite understand exactly 'how' he steals the abilities by Eating...Ingesting...Digesting the mutilated brain tissue anyway. :confused: ???

[phelan120]

i thought he had the virus and that blocked his powers

[GenghisK]

i don't know if Sylar has THE VIRUS or not, but he was badly injured in the season 1 finale. i personally think that he in fact does have all powers that he has stolen, cause if it is the brain that is key to the DNA/genes of our 'heroes', & his brain is still intact...then he just needs to fully recover to gain his strength back to use them & focus fully on each power he has stolen.
i also think that he does have Candice's power, just can't use it yet.
plus, he he lost the stolen powers, i would be very very angry cause i would not get my Sylar vs Peter fight!!! i have been waiting months & months & months to see this fight in action & not just a tease, like in the future episode in season 1.

[Lex'sLover]

omg i love your avi GenghisK

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Shouldn't it say: "I love brains"???
:lol:
;)

[Lex'sLover]

He only eats a small part of the brain.. lmao

[GenghisK]

Lex'sLover: thanks! i love it too!
sorry it took me so long to post in here, too much going on in real life. boo!

InLove_with_Chloe: Hmmm, seems plausible. actually i think there is an icon w/ the paper saying that! LOL

[S. T. Scorpion]

Well as we saw in Volume Three - Sylar's BACK! Yeeeeaaah baby!

So now we'll see if he has Candice's Power and if stabbing Alejandro was enough to get his power or did Sylar go back and do the nasty?

It says in most wiki's that Sylar has Charlie's ability, but didn't Hiro go back in time and save her? (I haven't bought the graphic novel yet, but that would appear to be the outline of the story).

Plus the ever loving question that is... Just how does he do it? What does he do with the brain and how does he gain their power?

There is a theory that he eats it like a tapeworm, but I think that's less likely for reasons I spelled out on another thread.

All I wanna know is, if Sylar is goin straight for Peter? Or will he try and pick off weaker heroes like Molly 1st (get himself a hero GPS) his own personal Cerebra, and then continue his MDK spree? (that'll probably get moved to another thread)

:eek: Everything about Sylar is Dark, Hideous and Absolutely Evil!
I have GOT to give Zachary Quinto Praise for his acting prowess. He's fairly new to the 'business', but he is doing an excellent job of 'fleshing out' his character. :mad: I HATE him! :p That's how I judge how good he is at what he does. I wanted him to die! His desire for Power is insatiable! He wallows in self-loathing and sees himself as having no value without 'powers'. He's ALWAYS a 'bada**'!

Syler's Psyche is totally evil even without his abilities; THAT'S why he's 'Over the Top', IMO. He's clever and manipulative, so yes, his personality is quite Defined. I'm Not a fan of the 'Horror' genre as I assume many of you who are participating in 'This' thread Are. I don't like the way it makes me feel when the "bad guy" gets to get away with his evil doings without anyone being capable enough to Stop him. I like 'good' to win out over 'evil'.

When I'm being entertained, I want to have a good feeling when there's a Pause in the story, and that goes double for when it ends. It's 'OK' for the villain to gain a 'Temporary' advantage, but only if there's a possibility for him to be Undone in the end. That may be the case here, too, but I don't like it when the villain's evil deeds are prolonged. The feeling of 'helplessness' is too frustrating! :confused:

In the Real world, there are too many villains who get away with perpetrating evil on others. I like Justice to Triumph. I don't like the feel of the Adreneline 'rush' when fear grips me. It makes me feel like Fighting, as in 'Fighting off an attacker' mode. :mad:

I LOVE "Heroes" overall, but I think it's time for Sylar's Reign of Terror to end. ZQ is so good at being Sylar that he makes Me want to squash him! I have to keep reminding myself that he's really a nice person who's also an accomplished actor. :\

I originally joined this discussion because I wondered just HOW, Exactly, did Sylar 'take' other Heroes' powers. I'm hoping that as the series progresses, That information will be Plainly forthcoming.
I don't think that I belong in this discussion anymore.

After this post, I'm going to Unsubscribe from this thread. So, 'Toodles' to you folk. I wish you all 'Well'. :)

[Lex'sLover]

Ok... Well... Ya, really you are right, and the concept of Sylar is truely sick, but I can't help it. I love him. I love the character ( and the fact that Zachary Quinto is totally drool worthy and plays the part to the tee definately helps.) Really, if this guy was going around killing people, i would be scared and definately avoiding the guy, but as someone watching where he can't touch.... the fact that he kills people isnt what i like about him... its that pure evil. That sly twisted way he can minipulate, and can make people belive he is oh so trustworthy.. He is so smart.. and so meniacle(sp?) he can figure everything and everyone out. I love the way he works. The way he ticks. and though he is a sure thing sociopath, I can't help but shiver under that soul catching gaze of his. Really.. he is good.. he is just so good, he can make himself into an angel... ahh... Gabriel.... I would never want you stading over me in the middle of the night with that gaze of yours (well... unless it was under different circumstances of course.) Ok... so um... Imzadia... my point was to say i wasnt just a weird horror lover.. but I think i screwed myself over so... nevermind lol :D

This show is kinda like DBZ.

Sure, there are other characters, but it's all about Goku and Vegeta baby.

WTF?!? :lol: What is DBZ??

[The_Frag_Man]

It's a show with lots of explosions and yelling.

I like those things a lot.

[InLove_with_Chloe]

Then how about the A-team???

I really liked your old avi.....the one where Sylar comes out of the shower.
:p

[Lex'sLover]

lol... thanks ;) Lexgirl made that one too.. i know.. i love it too.. of course... but i figured since that "Imback" avi was Sylars shinning moment i would change it for a while ;)

[Bizarro_33.1]

So is Sylar good now or is he just playing both sides? I think he took his dads side so he could take Pineherst down form the inside. Plus he didn't kill peter he slowed him down at the last minute.

On a differant note why didn't Sylar take Peters ability to absorb powers when he had the chance so then maybe he wouldn't have the hunger; Peter can't die anyway he already has the power to heal..

Opinoins anyone?

[JW_102792]

He would still have the hunger just like Peter did, and he wouldn't take it anyways because he's trying to change.

And I think he's definitely not trusting Arthur, but he might not necessarily be trusting Angela either. Maybe he's going to see what Arthur has to say, since he should give him the chance just like he gave his mother a chance.

[Litle bit more bizarre]

I think that he trust Angela and he save Peter from getting to be testing subject

But Peter is new to the hunger and maybe if Sylar took peters ablility he wouldn't have to kill again. And maybe he would be able to control his huger better and help peter..

I think Sylar is playing both sides and he is going to take Pineherst down from the inside; Because he didn't kill peter when he threw him out the window, he slowed him down at the last minute..

[Harrison_Bergeron]

What does Sylar getting Elle's power without opening her head tell us about his power? Does this mean that he had the same power as Peter or Arthur and just didn't know that it was that easy? That makes sense to me.

BUT, that doesn't explain the whole hunger/addiction thing. Is the addiction just the regular black sheep of the family non-super hero type merging with his ability? Like saying he would have been an alcoholic if he wasn't super?

BUT +1, how would Peter absorb his addiction if it's only connection to abilities is coincidental?

BUT +2, none of this explains why Peter would need Sylar's power, they seem to have the same power.

Can someone shed some light on this?

Maybe his powers are evolving.. Thats all I got right now lol.. other than wait and see haha

[haydenclaireheroes]

Talk about Sylar here.


His powers are cool. he seems like he can superspeed and he is telekentic so thats awsome. and he eats brains maybe he is part zombie.

he does not eat them we learn that in the begginning of season 3!

[Harrison_Bergeron]

Ok, why'd he cutoff Elle's head if he already had her power?

Whoa, sort of an epiphany! Arthur told him that empathy would allow him to get Elle's power without offing her. He got all emotional with her and then had her power. Peter realized that he could use the powers he absorbed by thinking of how the person he got the power from made him feel. Sylar decided to go bad, and then took off Elle's head. This could mean that Sylar and Peter have the same power; Sylar decided that feeling was over rated and wanted Elle's power without having to change his ways to use it. This still doesn't explain the addiction...Not much of an epiphany I guess.

[littlefoo20]

I don't know how Sylar can go from having hot sex with a girl, then killing that same girl (all in the same episode) is beyond me. I think Ricky Ricardo said it best...
"WHAAAA HOPPENED!

[Bizarro_33.1]

I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo lost right now lol.. Idk what is going on with Sylar but it is going to be interesting to see whats going to happen next.

[kp1984]

Could Sylar be Peter son or even Grandson. I know it's strange but it had me thinking about terminator how John older then his dad Kyle. Maybe Peter or even Peter son went back in time to the 1970's and fell in love with a woman having a kid with them. What do you guys think?

[hellnback]

i'm just wondering but is there a part of sylar that is very much like the joker in "the dark knight" movie. i've noticed that sylar seems to go on about how everyone has a dark side to them, often saying they are monsters, villians, whatever within, i think he said this to claire. like he was trying to make her think like him or be like him. i think he did this several times and not just to claire but to others. in the dark knight one of the joker's goals was to convert the most outstanding person (harvey dent) into a monster (two face). he made harvey into someone terrible. it almost seems that sylar has tried doing this with claire and a couple of others. i think that's what he's trying to do with claire for some unknown reason. otherwise he could have just killed her a long time ago. geez he killed elle, i'm guessing just as a way to prove to her that he was still a monster deep down inside, and he didn't really have to.

Maybe Claire his mom. Claire could have had went back in time and had a kid in the 1970's. I did this theory with Peter to. Be strange if Claire was Sylar mom. Yeah I know he's older but it's time travel. Just think if I went back to the 1980's and had a kid in 1985, i would only be a year older then my kid.

That is kinda wierd, but it also makes a little sense?
