Character History
According to Future Hiro, Sylar was the cause of the explosion on November 8th, 2006, the day after the election. However, with Future Hiro's altering of the past, Peter Petrelli became the bomb instead (it is unclear whether Sylar was ever really the bomb.).
Believed to have died in the explosion, Sylar actually survived, killed Nathan Petrelli and impersonated him using the power of illusion, acquired from Candace Willmer. Consequently, Sylar is the President of the United States in 2011.
Sylar's original power is intuitive aptitude — a superhuman ability to determine exactly how things work.
Sylar appears to have used his innate power to discover how to take the superpowers of other evolved humans. The exact mechanism by which Sylar gains these powers is not at present known; however, he believes that Chandra Suresh is correct that the abilities are based in the brain, and several of Sylar's victims have had their skulls opened and brains removed.
Sylar has acquired a number of powers:
- Telekinesis from Brian Davis. (Six Months Ago)
- Cryokinesis from an unknown victim. (used in Don't Look Back, Road Kill and Five Years Gone)
- Enhanced memory from Charlie Andrews. (stolen in Seven Minutes to Midnight, used in Road Kill)
- Liquefaction from Zane Taylor. (Run!)
- Enhanced hearing from Dale Smither. (Unexpected)
- Precognition from Isaac Mendez. (.07%)
- Rapid cellular regeneration from Claire Bennet (Five Years Gone)
- Phasing from D.L. Hawkins (Five Years Gone)
- Flight from Nathan Petrelli (Five Years Gone)
- Illusion from Candace Willmer (Five Years Gone)
