Powers Sylar had... and NEVER USED!

[3 Dev Adam]

Freezing people. He only used that in the pilot IIRC.
Super-memory, that he stole from the girl who hit on Hiro.
Super-hearing. Don't recall him ever using it, although I suspect he DID used that on the Vortex Guy episode.
Melting things, like the guy he got when he found Suresh.
Super-disguising, that he got from the fat girl he killed on captivity.
Whatever power he got from the girl Angela gave Skylar for "feeding".

Help me remember. He did checked the brain of the wrong cheerleader? So he also could have cheerleading powers.

He used the freezing power to break Hiro's sword. He probably used his super memory after he saw the list at Mohinder's appartment to remember all the names and locations of the specials. He used the super hearing to find Peter when Peter turned invisible. And he melted a wrench when he and Mohinder went to meet that super hearing woman. He didn't get Candice's power though.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

Hm. Yeah, you're right.

 

[mfbtl]

I don't think he actually received Candice's power. He didn't have his own ability then. I was wondering about the super hearing during the vortex scene, but ... does he have the ability to read minds? I thought he was doing that with Claire in the scene afterward.

 

[chaseter]

He didn't receive "super disguising" from Candice in Season two because he didn't have his powers back yet. However, he did have it in the Season 1 future and he did disguise himself as Nathan when Nathan was the president.

I'm under the impression that the dude he freezed in the first few episodes (molly's father?) was frozen with the ice powers Sylar has displayed tons of times in the series. (with his mother, freezing the sword, his battles with future peter.)

How would we know if he's using super memory? people rarely stop to ask Sylar brain teasers. i don't think i've ever seen him forget something, though.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

ya, he's shown occasional use of these other powers, but, in fight scenes and such, we never see much rang in his abilities, he always just uses the same few powers over and over

same with Peter, too


and how about his levitation (or whatever it is)
he used in once in his first appearance
then it was implied that he used it to sneak up, on the super hearing lady
"I didn't hear any foot steps"
"there wasn't any" (something like that???)
....? (any other times that I am missing)

 

[Neptune]

He levitaded himself with TK.

 

[Koz]

Freezing people. He only used that in the pilot IIRC.

He used it to freeze Molly's dad, to freeze one of the officers at the FBI building when he went to get Molly, to create snow at his mom's house, and to freeze Hiro's sword.

Super-memory, that he stole from the girl who hit on Hiro.

He used it in the graphic novels to memorize the user's manual of a big-rig he stole from a trucker.

Super-hearing. Don't recall him ever using it, although I suspect he DID used that on the Vortex Guy episode.

He didn't use it in the last episode because the writers confirmed the only one of his pre-S3 stolen powers he has in the present is telekinesis. I think Sylar just figured out what Bennet was doing because of his original power to understand how things work. It's like an enhanced intuition. Sylar, however, did use the super hearing power at the end of season 1 to eavesdrop on Peter, Ted, and Claire when they were trying to leave the city.

Melting things, like the guy he got when he found Suresh.

He used it to melt a toaster when he first met Mohinder and to melt a wrench at Dale's shop. Other than that, I guess it just wasn't that useful.

Super-disguising, that he got from the fat girl he killed on captivity.

Candice had illusions. Sylar didn't get that since he was powerless when he killed her.

Whatever power he got from the girl Angela gave Skylar for "feeding".

He got clairesentience (the ability to see the history of an object through touch) from Bridget. I suspect he used this power on Claire in the last episode. After he touched her hand to save her from the vortex, he mentioned he felt all the pain he had caused her and was sorry.

Help me remember. He did checked the brain of the wrong cheerleader? So he also could have cheerleading powers.

I hear Sylar is supposed to use his cheerleading powers sometime this season to defeat Arthur and his villains.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Sylar doesnt have super memory anymore though, lets not forget that Hiro traveled back to save Charlie and they died of a brain tumor or something like that instead of at Sylars hands.

This is incorrect. Charlie was still killed by Sylar. Hiro tried to stop it, but he failed. Sylar used her power in a graphic novel (Roadkill), and when Mohinder contacted the FBI (in Fallout), he mentioned Charlie as one of the ones from his father's list who had been killed. Both of these events took place after Hiro's attempt to save Charlie, so if he had stopped her from being murdered, neither of those events should have happened afterward.

 

[3 Dev Adam]

But the graphic novels are canon? They introduced that girl who talked with machines, but on the TV show she appeared on, what?, one scene and poof.

 

[Koz]

The show's writers write the graphic novels, so I think it's safe to assume that what we see in them is official unless otherwise stated. Mohinder contacting the FBI and telling them Charlie (and others on his father's list) had been killed is in the show, so even if you don't want to accept the graphic novels, the show still tells us she was killed. It's not that hard to figure out who killed her.

And I'm not sure what your point is concerning Hana. She was meant to be in the graphic novels mainly. Her story started and ended there. They just put her on the show briefly. In fact, her making the move from the graphic novels onto the show just ties the novels and the show together even more, making a stronger case for the novels being official, in my opinion.

 

[The Top Hat]

Whatever power he got from the girl Angela gave Skylar for "feeding".

I think he used that in the latest episode. He mentioned something about when he touched claires hand he saw how she felt and what he had done to her. And I think Angela said that the power was seeing the history of anything he touches.

 

[Tyrinus]

I took that to mean that when he was prodding her brain he was able to see/understand how violated he was making her feel.

 

[Koz]

Yes, but Sylar specifically said that when he touched her hand, he felt the pain he had caused her.

 

[Tyrinus]

I have no recollection of him phrasing it that way. Not saying he didn't, I just don't remember it.

 

[Fanticon]

basically the bottom line is...we would like to see the producers/writers/directors etc...demonstrate scenes that emphasize which powers he's using on certain occasions to remind us which ones he's acquired...so that we know they're not just jerking us around anymore with him...i ask myself these questions all the time..."why didn't he use that one power" or "why didn't he just do this"? they're bordering on sloppy writing now.

 

[The Top Hat]

I hear that there is a flashback type episode coming up soon, possibly episode 8, that is heavy on the Sylar details, maybe we'll get some answers then.

 

[Syncos]

Sylar was supposed to lose his previous powers after he was stabbed, correct?

If that is so, then why is it that in the future, Sylar used ted's exploding power and Issac's future painting?

Not directly related, but why is it that Peter got telekinesis from Sylar, if he got that, shouldn't he have every one of Sylar's powers?

Peter has to know what powers a person has in oder to activate it. Peter could be using Eden's powers, but he doesn't know she had powers.

That was four years into the future remember. Plenty of time for him to reaquire those powers, the writers confirmed that.

 

[asidx]

First off, let me start out by saying we are a first time poster but long time reader. so We are happy to be here. ( my buddy and i are sharing this account as we are hetero life mates)

We are big time heroes fans. we even have heroes parties every monday where we do nothing but drink beer, have donkey shows and watch heroes.

We both feel that a few things need to be cleared up. and they are as follows:

1. To the gentleman that said Peter has to know what the powers are before he takes them....you are half right my friend but i must contest because:
A. peter never knew what claire's power was before he was thrown off the building.
B. The first and only power that peter saw sylar use was telekeneisis. so therefore he thought that was his power.
C. he didn't know parkman's powers when he was being interviewed right after he got claires powers, in which right after he got parkman's.
D. he didn't know Claude's ability. but when he was around claude, peter could still see him. because they were both invisible. without knowing his ability.
E. Ted. he never saw ted use his ability. but was freakin out when he was in the ally the first time when noah found him.

2. Sylar never got candice's ability because he didn't have his powers at the time. this has been recognized by many of you already.

3. the last thing i have is that, if most of you have read the graphic novels. you will see that hanna is now a sentient being after burning up in the stratosphere. so she is still alive, just not ALIVE.


we are sure there are things that have been missed, but at this time one of us are drunk, and the other is putting a desk together for his wife. as we are 2 people and not just one person with multiple personalities. we promise.

Peter has to know what powers a person has in oder to activate it. Peter could be using Eden's powers, but he doesn't know she had powers.

No, he doesn't. He activated DL's phasing in season 2, and he didn't even know DL, much less what his power was. Plus, he's been using Angela's dream power since the beginning of season 1, and I'm not sure if he's figured out that's from her yet.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

He levitaded himself with TK.

either way, why doesn't he do it more offen

No, he doesn't. He activated DL's phasing in season 2, and he didn't even know DL, much less what his power was. Plus, he's been using Angela's dream power since the beginning of season 1, and I'm not sure if he's figured out that's from her yet.

basically, he can use powers that he doesn't know about, out of instinct, or necessity
much like how each hero (or villain&#8230 did first time they used they power

"fight or flight" I believe was what Mohinder referred as

doesn't mean he knows how to control it
(especially, since he has so many, he couldn’t possibly, be ability fully know how to control all of them)



but, with Sylar, his ability is to know everything about how to use the power, once he's seen how it works (with in the brain)

for that matter, as for him losing his powers, once he regained his original ability, he would still have that knowledge, (or what he remembers of it) so, he could probably also regain most of the powers that he had, or which ever once he choice, too
