			\| Sylar became a "Superman" type character of sorts after Claire revealed her powers, saving people like the hero he wanted to be and helping evos survive being hunted. \|\| None \|\| {{plus}} Sylar has the most abilities out of anyone we've met on the show. Someone with his amount of power would theoretically be putting it to use especially with the social climate after evos were revealed to the world.<br />
			{{plus}} Sylar became good at the end of season four.<br />
			{{plus}} Sylar is basically invincible and it does not seem he would be frightened by the prospect of being hunted, so he might dedicated time to helping those that are afraid.<br />
