Notes

• According to a post by Foz McDermott, Caleb was originally supposed to manifest his ability in Slow Burn. However, the format of the webisode series allowed very little time for Caleb's power to be demonstrated. The revelation was cut, and relegated instead to the graphic novels. Foz reveled in the chance to create a power "that would have shocked Sylar and the audience, and at the same time make it old school comic-booky". Additionally, he wanted to choose a power that would not be feasible to show on television, and he "had to fight for the spider legs and glowing eyes".
