About
Genesis
While speaking to his class at Chennai University, Dr. Mohinder Suresh cites the cockroach as the pinnacle of evolution, and lists several of its advanced attributes. Later on, Mohinder arrives at his father's apartment, and is disgusted when he steps on a cockroach that he sees on the floor.
Godsend
At Primatech Paper Co., Sylar watches a cockroach roam the floor of his cell.
The Fix
Sylar remains on the floor and watches the cockroach walking next to his head.
Unexpected
Dale notes that when she first realized her powers, the sound of a cockroach's footsteps in her neighbor's home sounded like a marching band.
Trivia
- A cockroach can hold its breath for 45 minutes and has the ability to slow down its heart rate. It is possible that Sylar managed to acquire this ability so that he could appear dead to Hank in The Fix. If he has, this raises the possibility that he may have also acquired increased resistance to radiation (see below).
- Cockroaches have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates (up to 15 times more resistant than humans).
- Cockroaches can survive for at least seven days (and up to a month in some cases) without a head.
