My List is likely to be unpopular. I omitted people we know are dead (for the time being, as it's likely Monica will soon be added to that particular list once we figure out what happened to her), but kept those we know who are alive, but not appearing atm.

One of the biggest reasons I don't like Sylar is two-fold (and applies to Peter as well, yet Peter to me is more likeable because his intentions have been consistent), and it's from his rapid collection of powers. Assuming he regained all of his abilities from Season 1 (which seems to be unlikely, as he commented when he attacked Claire that he wasn't "completely" better), he would have a massive and unstoppable array of abilities. But, if his powers hit a soft reset after the Shanti virus (leaving him with his Intuitive Aptitude and Telekinesis) then it's only a matter of time before he once again gets enough powers to become an unstoppable juggernaut. Save for Peter, that is. I think one of the only reason Peter is still around is because of Sylar. There needs to be someone equally strong enough to provide a foil for him. I'm not big on Peter gaining just as many abilities as Sylar (because again, you have one unstoppable juggernaut, and as is the case with Superman in the movies, it makes it hard to create scenarios where he can't just waltz through them), but I find his character's struggles to be more genuine than Sylar thus making him less cliche'd.

And Sylar turning good? Don't see it sticking, and unfortunately I don't think he'll ever see the consequences of the damage he's wrought. Which is kind of sad because his Storyline seems to just repeat itself over and over. He's a killer obsessed with getting powers. He's "good" for not even a whole episode, and he's whackin Jesse for his powers. To me, if Sylar winds up getting away with all of this, the series will be a let down for me, despite whatever happens with the rest of the characters.

While it's true, not every villain (depending on your perception) in the real world gets his comeuppance, I think it devalues the entire struggle of the people in this series if the biggest antagonist in this series doesn't get his due. Sure, they could save the world dozens of times. But what happens while this maniacal power-mongering villain is still on the loose? I dunno.

I wouldn't mind if Sylar doesn't get his "due". I like it when the outcome isn't as black and white like o he's evil so in the end he dies. He's really powerful, it's more realistic if he actually doesn't die or at least puts up a hell of a fight, taking a few heroes with him when he dies. I also like the idea of him turning good in the end. He's not pure evil.

I'm not necessarily advocating that he be killed (although that is one possible end), but there needs to be some resolution to his past transgressions. Not trying to derail the topic, just offering my 2 cents. Good vs. Evil is all relative, but I have a hard time believing that he's not pure evil by his actions in the bank, and his almost sublime succumbing to his "hunger". The perspective issue still stands on whether or not his actions are justifiable to each of us personally, but I hardly think that killing people in cold blood is relateable or defendable realistically, especially with the way he goes about it. Some sort of repurcussion must be administered, despite his dispatching at Kirby Plaza, for the continued killings he has committed.
