Who is more powerful?

[HumanoidCorvin]

Peter or Sylar. :confused:

[LOONEY]

Nice Supernatural avitar man.

Peter is, he can use more than one power at a time, Gaberial can't. He takes ANYONES power around him he doesn't need to physically do it. He has way more powers. Gaberial of the last future we saw was hiding and not fighting for humanity and Pete is.

sylar can use more than 1 power at a time, we've seen it.

[Merfish]

I think Peter is now, i think Peter can use all of Sylars abilities now because he knows how Sylar does it, he understands how Sylar uses all his powers

[Superboy2]

Did he really need Sylars power to use all the ones he has? How many powers does Peter have potentially? Telekinesis, flight, healing, strength, Ted's power, shoot electricity, turn anything into gold, prophetic dreams, paint the future, walk through walls, invisibility, melt metal, superhearing, create illusions, travel through time and space, hear people's thoughts, talk to machines, ice/freezing power, Alejandro's power of being able to stop his sister's power, german's power of manipulating metal, intuitive aptitude, change appearance. Did I miss any?

[27CDruid]

Peter's an idiot. Sylar would use his powers far more effectively in a battle. Sylar would tear Peter to pieces in seconds.

[The Ninth Doctor]

Fear to strength conversion, sound manipulation, mental compulsion, pyrokinesis, trap people in other people.

[Superboy2]

Sound manipulation? Who had that power? Mental compulsion? I forgot about the pyrokinesis, although I'm confused as how it differs from Meredith's power.

[captain_earl]

I don't think Peter has all of Sylar's powers. From what I gather, the power needs to be "active" or used in order for Peter to obtain it. In the last graphic novel, "Resistance," Future Peter has the Haitian's powers. At least the one to remove memories. On the last page he tells Claire, "...I won't make you forget again." Which makes me think he has taken her memories once or twice before. Whether or not this pertains to Current Peter....

[Superboy2]

I don't get the Haitians power. Its annoying, he can't even turn it off and could be dangerous if Heroes are trying to use their power and he walks on by and it stops.

[The Ninth Doctor]

He can turn it off. Elle was using her powers fine standing next to the Hatian.

Jesee (guy Peter got stuck in) had Sound Manipulation. Mental Compulsion would be Eden's power/ Matt's Season 2 power. Pyrokinesis is Meredith's power, I just didn't see you list it.

[Superboy2]

There was another villain that could control fire, although his was a blue flame.

[Ranroc]

Peter is the most powerful mutant of all times. If level 5 is for the most dangerous mutants/special ability personnel then Peter should be locked up in a level 15 containment areas. Peter is missing 1 power which is Molly's mutant locator power. Once he absorbs her power then he would have the ability to mentally locate any one in the world that has special abillities and pick and choose which ability that he would like to aquire. Far more dangerous that Sylar because he technically does not have to cut into a persons head to absorb their power but I do not understand why he cut into Nathan's head in the last episode. That was wierd to me, with Peters natural power and Sylars power combined with his own he should not have to cut into someones head to gain the use of there power or understand own their powers work. He did not have to use that power to gain Sylar's ability.

[badwolf]

Right now, Peter is the strongest of the two. Sylar doesn't have the power (yet) to pick up other powers by just standing near them. He has to see "how they work", where as Peter can just pick up someone's powers by being next to him. Now that he has Sylar's powers, he has that hunger, therefore there is really no turning back for Peter as of right now. He is stronger then Sylar.


I do not understand why he cut into Nathan's head in the last episode. That was wierd to me.

To answer your question, I think he did it because he had that hunger like Sylar does. And Nathan just so happened to be the person in the room with him.

[HumanoidCorvin]

That settles it, Peter is the more powerful one, perhaps in all of the show.

[Superboy2]

I wonder if they will address if Sylar and Peter have limits, like when you have an inbox full of text messages and you can't receive any until you delete some. There should be a limit. Otherwise Peter just has to stand next to Molly, find them, stand next to them and get every power in the world.

[Seyee]

peter already has molly power. Both micah, DL, nikki, and Molly were at the same distance when Peter fought sylar in season 1. If he was able to use DL power from season 2 because he was close to him in the end of season 1 he has Molly powers already. But even with molly power he can find anyone but what's the point if you dont know who has powers?

[Superboy2]

I'm hoping he finds out about having Molly's power so he can find other ones and realize the powers he has.

[TnTSCS]

Well, seeing as this is an old post and needs updating seeing as things have changed - I'll say Sylar :)

[doomvskal86]

Yeah it's sylar now considering the circumstances.

[Kal-el24740]

Sylar is by far cause he is a killer

So that's how Arthur found Hiro, Claire, and the catalyst in the past.

Right now Sylar would slaughter Peter. Technically Pete didn't win a fight against Sylar until he got the intuitive aptitude. That ability always gave Sylar the edge.

[Superboy2]

It would be interesting if Mohinder found a way to see what powers Peter has so he can control them.

[topo21]

Sylar now has shape shifting. You have a powerful foe that disguise himself as your friend.

[Pyramid84]

Sylar can instantly master an ability whereas Peter cannot. Also, Sylar can absorb powers empathically like Peter so intuitive aptitude and empathic mimicry makes Sylar more powerful, imo. His weakness is being overconfident.

[PrettySiren]

I would say they're equally powerful. They both gain other people's powers in similar albeit slightly different ways. They definitely have a potential to be on equal footing, at least, but Peter won't do the things Sylar will. Sylar can always one-up him in that respect, because he's always willing to take things further than Peter will. And the only way Peter can top that is to out-wit him (like he did with the finale by turning into President Worf).

But I'm pretty sure it evens out. After all, neither are dead yet -- after varying attemps. And both could be immortal (meaning Sylar is, and Peter could be if he took Claire's power, which I'm sure will come up again).

I would say that Peter is at a disadvantage by only being able to hold onto one power at once at present, but he always finds ways around that, because he's the hero...so again, it really evens out.

[DarkKent]

Before Peter lost his power and it changed, he was the most powerful one. This is not about who'd win a fight, as that is motivated by much more than just power. Sylar didn't gain Elle's power by empathic mimicry, he gained it by understanding her power.

Peter was the most powerful hero, and might be again if he masters his powers and ability for empathy again. In a fight between them anyone could win, depending on their motives and understanding of powers and what emotions that drive those powers at the time.

[haydenclaireheroes]

sylar

[shadoo]

I don't want to be a troll, instead, I'm an Ogre a tall fat beast thus; the bad writers are the most powerful. How else can you explain the extreme leaps of this bipolar show.

[axe]

im not sure who is more poerful to be honest. peter could win if he got his empathy back, because of his love and the idea that he has something worth fighting to protect. as for sylars power, it confuses me. he seemingly used empathy in episode 9 of season 3. but strangely, in episode 4 of season 3 he claimed to understand knox´s power, without exposing his brain, and the same deal with nathan in the season 3 finale :S

[halvor311]

Old Peter would and did destroy Sylar, but now that Peter's power is questionable, Sylar would destroy Peter, so the poll needs to specify which Peter. I'm assuming it's the old one who could absorb abilities. So, if it's old Peter, Peter would destroy Sylar, there's no question about it.

[haydenclaireheroes]

Sylar is defently is the most powerful.

[shadoo]

Matt/Sylar is the most powerful, but now Peter has Hiro's time space jijitsu, maybe he'll go back and touch himself absorbing his old power.

[Chulance]

Yeah Peter is now god level with hiro's power back.

[Rokk]

I agree, Sylar is definitely the most powerful of all the Heroes. Since Peter only has Ability replication which really limits him, where Sylar can hold multiple ability's, and like people have been saying, Sylar is a Killer, he is a lot more dangerous then Pete! I will say this though, if Arthur wasn't dead, I would totally say he was the dangerous one of them all, to be able to take peoples ability's away and use them, that's pretty amazing. Power absorption is probably one of my favorite ability's thus far!

[ojugo20]

Peter's an idiot. Sylar would use his powers far more effectively in a battle. Sylar would tear Peter to pieces in seconds.
Did you watch episode 12 of season 4. Did you see howpeter stop sylar and kicked his ass. PLaese never say that peter is an idiot. He is far better than sylar.
even Hiro is powerful than sylar

[Superboy2]

Yea barely. But he should be able to hold more abilities.
