They were each other's counterpart. Peter was a sweet and nice person who gain powers through empathy and questions whether it's worth it while Sylar is power hungry who gain abilities by killing people and wants more.

[@eluwoledare4512]

Peter uses empathic mimicry, sylar also used emphaty to gain powers

[@zackerymoyano]

Sylar and Peter practically had the same power, except Sylar’s power had that hunger with it and it was incredibly difficult for him to control it. If he didn’t have the hunger, it would be safe to assume that he would try to live a normal life or try to become a hero and use his powers for good like Peter.

[@eluwoledare4512]

@@zackerymoyano sylar has intuitive aptitude. He can solve problems in the brain and stuff. He also has empathy, if he gets close to someone and show them empathy, he can get thier powers. Eg elle bishop. Peter has empathic mimicry. Ability to copy power and use at will. He don't need to even near the person

I feel like the shows main story focus should have been on Peter and Sylar, the first season had it right, we all loved the other characters, but what we really wanted to see was Peter and Sylar both collecting more powers and matching up against each other and fight as good and evil but we never got that..

Yeah a writer's strike happened in the middle of the second season and they had to scrap and rewrite the story mid-season to attempt salvaging it, but they never really recovered from that.

The writing on this was all over the place towards the end, It started off so good then went downhill after the writers strike from what I remember, and taking Peter's powers away was just wrong.

[@Spoopball]

Taking away Peter's powers was on purpose apparently. After the 2nd season, the writers said they couldn't think of justifying any conflict/problems with Peter just being able to do everything

[@orderflowarchives]

​@Spoopball thats cause peter was only supposed to last for one season. He was essentially too OP since he can gain any power by just being near someone.they should have just written him off and focus on another main character

Imagine if Sylar gained Peter's mimicry without killing like he did with Elle. He might discover that he can use powers by simply thinking of them even if he doesn't possess them directly

[@lordfoul6259]

If you remember when he teamed up with that guy Danko he did ask Sylar if he could take that shapeshifter's ability without cutting off the top of his head and he did

[@JS_246]

Sylar had no use for Peter's Mimicry - because Peter's ability doesn't gain instant Mastery - he only gets the power, but doesn't understand how to use it to max potential. Sylar's Hunger is actually a better version - however the downside is that it involves killing, and looking at someone's brains. Even if Sylar had Peter's powers, he'd still choose to kill people because he wants the knowledge (not just the power).

[@ulysses4989]

@@JS_246 Mimicry is far better..Peter just had to learn how to use the powers he was gaining. Man was absorbing every power around him. He could've killed Sylar if he wanted to.

[@CornBreadtm1]

Intuitive aptitude is Sylar's power. It's the power to understand things. If he mimics a power to empathic mimicry he can use intuitive aptitude to understand and master it.

[@vmaninc.761]

The shows main story should have focused more on the rivalry between peter and sylar, while showing the other characters and how each played a part in their lives during their quest for more powers and abilities; the first season was so well written if they had kept up that momentum even when they went the redemption route with sylar by introducing another character that was just as deadly as he was the show would've lasted much longer than it did and we would've gotten more epic and awesome seasons more memorable than the last! 💯🔥😁😉👍

[@omin231]

Now I want a video about Syl-er

[@TheMidnightPhil]

My least favorite thing about Peter's character in season 1 was that it turned out he could copy AND retain anyone's power. It made him like Sylar without the extra work of having to kill people first, which made Sylar less interesting in comparison. And even the Peter/Sylar comparisons aside, I think Peter's powers changing based on who he's around was much more interesting; it creates all kinds of intriguing scenarios.

[@MarijnvdSterre]

Mostly agree. But I would have added that over time Peter's power would grow. Meaning over time he could hold on to two powers, later three etc. But having him have just one for longer would have been great.

They should have used Iron Man with Infinity Gauntlet on Sylar
