What's Your Skylar Theory?

[AtrophyG4]

I believe that Sylar is the black guy in the bar. He used whatever power(s) it is he has to overwhelm the cop and cause him to pass out. In the previews for episode 4, it shows the cop strapped to a hospital type bed with Mr. Glasses and the black guy over top of him. He asks "What do you want with me" and Glasses replies "We want to learn more about you" or something along those lines.

I am of the opinion that Sylar is working with Mr. Glasses to track down heroes so they can study their brains to learn what gives them their abilities. The very first episode, Mohinder is doing his lecture and says that humans only use 10% of our brains, what would we be capable of if we were able to unlock the other 90%. Different parts of the brain control different moods and actions, so it stands to reason that different sections would control extraordinary ablilities. It also makes more sense than a telekenetic zombie named Syler.

I really hope their not basing a large chunk of their plot around the "10% of our brain" myth.

Syler is definetly not the black guy from the bar. I taped and rewatched the episode last night. I then watched the Syler scene with the FBI cops in slow motion. He is definetly a white male and has a small stubble beard.

Honestly, I don't think we will see a full on Syler face shot until later in the season.

Ah. I was basing the black guy being syler on the "S" shaped symbol necklace that he was wearing. That is same symbol that keeps appearing in different places (the code from the jump drive they found, the artist's scupture, Peter drew it in the corner of his stick figure picture...). So I thought the symbol was directly connected to Syler since he is "patient zero"

One thing is for sure, the guy in the bar is definately a bad guy since he is connected to Mr. Glasses according to this weeks preview and I stand by my conclusion that they are studying the brains of the "heroes" and they are not being consumed by some canabalistic psycho hero killer person.

 

[GhostPoet]

I thought it was pretty chilling that when the cop tried to read the black guys mind it was completely silent. Whoever this guy is, he's pretty powerful. I have no idea if he's good or bad...i'm leaning towards bad and may be connected to Mr. Glasses.

That scene with Sylar was pretty dang awesome the way he got up and the bullets fell off him. He either heals fast, has hard skin OR...what my wife suggested...he used mental powers to block the bullets. Which would make the most sense.

 

[The Only Woj]

Sylar appears to be Nikki's husband. In Ep3 he has wears a necklace in the bar that is the same as the tattoo on Nikki's back in Ep4 ... and the shape seen in the code of Mohinder's father ... and in one of Isaac's paintings.

 

[StorminNorman]

Nikki's husband is not the guy in the bar. I think Nikki's husband turns out to be a good guy (basing that on the Heroes promo pic of him holding baby geniuses hand).

I am still not sure if the black guy from the bar IS Sylar, I want to say no though just because I dont think Mister Glasses and Sylar are together.

i can see future peter being sylar...

we all know peter can 'mimic' other heroes' powers when he is close to them.

perhaps as his power develops, he can absorb them like rogue.

maybe in the future, he comes in contact with nikki and he develops an 'id'/evil personality.... also, maybe he comes in contact with hiro, so he can manipulate time, etc etc....

 

[cerealkiller182]

I definately think Sylar is future Peter

That's a good theory.

 

[StorminNorman]

If they start doing "Sylar is from the future, WOOOO!" I will start losing intrest

Keep Sylar simply being a sadistic, evil bastard with a brain fetish and I will be good.

My theory.

Sylar is referred to as "patient zero" Which is usually the first person in a population to get a virus and pass it on to others. Maybe the hero gene is transmitted similar to a virus.

Maybe Mohinders Dad developed the virus to jump start the evolutionary process to save the world from famine/war/terrorism/ect.The virus works by unlocking a humans evolutionary potential(super-power) and effects everyone differently.

Mohinders dad gave it to Sylar and he went around spreading the hero-virus around. But the virus had an unknown side effect, it also unlocked the dark-side of human potential--- it will make the heroes into villains.

Sylar realized the danger of the hero-virus. He feels responsible for spreading it. To repent for his sins he is trying to stop the outbreak by trying to kill all the heroes, before they turn super-powerful and super-evil.

I'm not sure how it is spreads but, The virus must have something to do with the brains, thats why he takes them.


Sylar is trying to save the world.

To find out "who" Sylar is go back a page and read aphro666's theory, that theory is so good it requires spoiler tags!

 

[Salemdog]

A guy I know also watches this show and has mentioned some things mentioned on anothe site. He says he saw that Syler hasn't been cast. I wasn't sure about this but then he also saw the "symbol" on Hiro's sword which I totally missed. So could it be Sylar is something they're holding off for a while and the guy trying for the girl was the black guy with Mr Glasses.

He also said someone had blown up pics from the wall and it was different people with the name Syler. Anyway..just so ya know. I'll have to ask for the site.

Yeah. Interesting theory, except for the whole "super powers make you evil" thing. Seems more likely that Sylar just lost it and decided that brutally murdering people and mutilating the bodies would be a grand old time.
