Sylar- All Powers from Heroes (Season 1)

Here is every display of powers, skills, and weakness from Sylar. Including enhanced strength, telekinesis, and healing factor.

[@snakeyesz]

If your old enough to have grown up watching this when it was airing and seeing Sylar pointing his finger at his next victim and hearing that nail scratching chalk boarding noise when he's in the middle of operating was stuff of nightmares. Great first Season

Sylar vs. Peter was the best thing about this show. It was the ultimate, hero vs. nemesis showdown, every time they crossed each other’s paths. You knew that things were about to get serious. I was always routing for Peter in the fights. 🙂

[@blaze6477]

Same. I was routing for Peter too, but I still loved Sylar. Even as a character I think Sylar is better. Its a shame Peter was ruined in season 3. In season 1 and 2 Peter was op but he didn't know how to properly control his powers like Sylar did. But in season 3 it seemed like Peter had figured out how to use them even before he took Sylar's original ability. We didn't get to see the proper showdown between Peter and Sylar. 😔

Technically he only has 1 power to learn how other powers work so he can simulate them. Pity they never developed him enough, because someone who can understand how things work can optimize, combine, and invent new things.

[@atiloik8160]

I don't think his power is "learn how other powers work" He just have a precise instinct about how things works, including how power works and how to assimilate them

[@narty4586]

He's the only one who can use and maximise other's power to its full potential because he can see deep into how things work

[@ubergammer00]

Have you ever watched my hero academia? If not you should watch it

[@sawysauce1256]

How does he analyze their brains to gain their abilities? We just gonna chalk that up as bad writing or do they ever elaborate on this process? if the explanation is that his ability to “see how things work” would allow him to somehow replicate the biology of his victims that is completely preposterous if the powers in this universe are *GENETIC* meaning one person, very unique to that ONE person. If their powers worked off of some kind of 3rd party spiritual force like Mana or the force from star wars than you could make a case for this but as is it makes absolutely no sense.

[@tobi_dfwt8226]

@@sawysauce1256 To understand how he does this, we need to know what his powers are first. His power is called Intuitive Aptitude. His power takes the form of the ticking of watches. If he concentrates on these 'ticks', he is able to understand how things work on the fundamental level. This is the reason why he's such a good watchmaker, and also why he was better at using powers than even the original owner. The first time he got a power, he followed the ticks, which allowed him to not just understand the brain, but to also understand the evo's genetic marker. This allows Sylar to gain the same effect as Peter, mimic the brain patterns and the power, and gain a more 'powerful' version of the power. Now, you might think why I said he mimics powers, not take them. Well, it's because he doesn't take powers, he doesn't need to actually kill. Brcause technically, he could just observe what an evo does with their powers and eventually gain them just like that. But he doesn't because he's already addicted to following the 'ticks', specifically evo 'ticks', he's hungry for them. Hence how he gets other powers. If you read this, thank you for using your time to read this.

[@WariTrvppn]

Sylar is the perfect villain, thanks for clarifying that he has the power to learn how things function, I never picked that up while watching the show!

[@noahwax4892]

What I love most about Sylar, and what I think makes him one of the best written villains of all time, is that unlike most that seek redemption, he's not necessarily in conflict with his own morals, but rather with his own ability. The hunger that Intuitive Aptitude gives him to understand how things work was tamed enough when he was working with time pieces, but once it got a taste for the complexity of the human brain and the intricacy of superpowers, he became a slave to his own ability. And in the beginning, he tried his best to fight it, which we see when he contemplates suicide after acquiring Telekinesis by murdering Brian Davis. The only reason he became a threat to anyone was because he was pushed over the edge by Elle Bishop at the behest of the company so they could see what else he was capable of (Since he was the first they knew of who had taken on another person's ability). All of the bloodshed that follows is interwoven with Sylar's attempts to subdue the hunger, the most prominent example probably being after he kills Isaac Mendez for Precognitive Painting and meets with his own mother for the first time since he began his killing spree. While she propelled him his whole life towards the idea that he could be special, perhaps something more than the watch maker he became, Gabriel just wants a reason to give up the path towards 'Specialness' that he's found himself walking. She denies him that, telling him he's destined for greater things, and ultimately fearing what he's become once he displays his abilities to her, ultimately dying by his hand in a complete accident. While there's a few other examples of stuff like this and I could go on and on, just acknowledge the legitimacy of his redemption arc if nothing else. It's hard to see where his humanity and his ability bleed together, but they do, and he struggles with it for the entire series.

@Ergys Fama only reason according to how it was written, Sylar maintained telekinesis because he felt immense guilt for killing the man he got it from but the virus robbed him of the rest except his Intuitive Aptitude and telekinesis

[@LucianoMalphus]

​@Ergys Fama The Writers screwed up his story since the beginning. Just because he can understand how a superpower work, it should not give the ability to reproduce that same ability. Nevertheless, inside the logic of the own show, it makes no sense that he can lose any power by all means because he acquired all of them using knowledge. The only way to deny his abilities would be memory manipulation. As i can see, His primary ability should be absorption of power by DNA consumption (brain tissue). This would be more logical and would justify him brutally kill his victims and the "hunger" that he feels for power.

[@giovanniramos8883]

No matter what I think we can all agree with just telekinesis and intuitive aptitude he's op. If he never lost all those other powers I would go as far as to call him a God

[@mwc2k]

@Ergys Fama I always felt like it was a hungry to constantly learn more powers and not so much a hunger to kill because when he is around people without powers he wouldnt have this need to kill them. It was only when he came across another super where he would become obsessed with learning their ability. He would later realize he just prefers to kill to get the power.

[@elioomargonzalezpadilla4357]

In my opinion it was making sure this guy didn’t stay dead and the writing strike is what ruined it

[@nathancarabajal8271]

Sylar's main ability was Intuitive Apptitude which allowed him to study thing and see how they work. Also allowed him to study the powers and abilities of other EVO's before he took them as his own. Sylar never had super strength or Rapid cellular regeneration until in later seasons. He got regeneration in season 3 from Claire and flight from Nathan Petrelli in towards the end of season 3. Few other abilities later on

[@marzio2309]

No Claire ability is in the season 2, the second coming episode

[@joshuaskywalker3748]

For everyone one confuse his power is to see how things work , so that why at least in season 1 before the retcon he would open their head to see how their powers work and mimic it

[@cyberkiller83]

Sylar is amazing. Zachary Quinto is a terrific actor. He can do it all!

[@tensaantares]

0:32 Regenerative healing factor?🤨 The more likely thing was Sylar simply caught the bullets quickly like a telekinetic vest. After all, SPOILER, Sylar didn't get regenerative healing until a later season. Which means he never had it before.

[@HixxyDubz]

Sylar never had a healing factor, that was the whole purpose of season 3, so that he can never die and accomplish ruling the world. His power to detemine "how things work" is called Intuitive Aptitude.

Only Written Super Villain that made you not want Super Powers because he was a Super Serial Killer. Sylar character in season 1 made total logical sense because Sylar power was to know how anything works (which is OP by itself) and sense he knew how Supers powers work plus how to take them for himself by killing a person with powers. Then the natural progression was to hunt them down to get as many power as possible for yourself. Who wouldn't want a bunch of Super Powers?

It's a cool vid that I enjoyed and I especially enjoyed the video game style statistics runthrough at the end...I didn't like the fact that they were all wrong even by lamens terms...and sorry to be the 'nerd in the trench coat here but yeah. These are obviously based on season 1 powers and that's fine because Sylar hadn't suffered from the writers strike at that point. Some of the scenes used were based in a reality that technically never happened tho, but we'll write that off as 'whatever'. When you're grading things tho it's all contextual. Seeing as a 6 is on the board I assume this is grading on a scale of 1-10 so given that season 1 Sylar was the main antagonist......or even not, these stats are wayyyy out of whack. Strength: should be a 9. He definitely ain't perfect and there's no differentiating factors here so I'll take it to mean 'power'. He was literally the most powerful character in season 1, it kinda drove most of the story. Speed: you gave him a 5....he was never that quick tbh, I'd give him a 3 in this but he did seem to superhumanly move quite often despite having no explainable reason for being able to...So fine, cut the slack make it even I guess. Agility: 1.....Why the fuck you lying bro? In season 3 yeah that'd be understandable but in S1 he got at least a 4 in agility Stamina: 1.....this guy spends his time stalking people, he was literally tied to a chair and basically tortured and held his shit together basically just to troll the guy and you give him a 1 in stamina? Get real Durability: 6. He actually has far less durability than he has stamina so....wtf lol Intelligence: 6. Season 1 Sylar is worth at least an 8 in this stat. Fighting: 2. Given the way you're judging things I would assume this to mean fisticuffs, so this should be a 1 Energy Projection: 4 WTF DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!
