Sylar obtained freezing from the person Bob was talking about in Out of Time.	Bob claims that a light snowstorm in Miami should have been a tsunami.(Out of Time)	+ Miami isn’t the type of place you would expect to see snow in. - The amount of water involved in a tsunami would create a lot more than "a light snowstorm" if flash-frozen by freezing. + Nathan comments that most of the people in the group of twelve are dead. This person may be dead because of Sylar. • Bob implies that the cause of this strange occurrence is a person in the group. - Judging by Bob's description, the power is more likely weather control than freezing. - The ability is probably too weak to create a storm. Sylar needs to lean out of a car so that he may shoot it directly on the road. The range of this power is short. • Technically speaking, tsunamis are not a type of weather. They are basically earthquakes on the ocean floor. + Harry Fletcher and Paula Gramble were both on Chandra's list. - Kaito comments that 9 of the founders are still alive well after Sylar's use of the freezing power.
Freezing works by cooling the temperature of water to freezing point.	None.	• You do need to freeze water to make ice or frost. + In The Hard Part, Sylar turns water into snow.
Freezing isn't truly cooling, but the ability to absorb all heat in an object, dropping it to low kelvins.	Tracy froze an entire human being solid in a matter of seconds The manner in which this happened suggested that heat was drained rather than ice being generated. (The Butterfly Effect)	• Scientifically, this is what is logical. If most of the powers are based on logical science, then this is how it would work. Hard to explain. Big question is though, where does the energy go? Law of the Conservation of Energy says it has to go somewhere... • It is possible that the energy is absorbed into the user and then displaced harmlessly into the surroundings in alternate forms, such as the blue glow we have seen when the ability is used. • Cooling is the absorption of an objects heat by nearby objects which have less heat.
