Character History
Five Years Gone
Believed to have died in the explosion as well as caused it (in truth, it was Peter Petrelli, Sylar actually survived, killed Nathan Petrelli at an unknown point and impersonated him using the power of illusion, acquired from Candace Willmer. Consequently, Sylar is the President of the United States in 2011. As President, he has enacted a policy strictly monitoring and controlling the activities of evolved humans and used Homeland Security to enforce it.
Sylar, having acquired many powers over the years, no longer finds any point in getting new ones. Instead, he initiates a plan to eradicate all evolved humans with his power as president, wanting to eliminate the competition. However, there are two particular evolved humans that he wants to handle personally: Peter, and Claire Bennet. As Nathan, Sylar meets with Claire at the Petrelli Mansion. Claire, feeling spite for her father and his actions, tries to leave, but Sylar prevents her with his telekinesis. He proceeds to kill her and acquire her power, seeing hers as the last one he needs, and he expresses great pleasure in finally getting the chance after his failure in Homecoming.
During a ceremony commemorating the explosion, Sylar learns from Matt that Peter is trying to free Hiro so he can change the "past", and the Haitian is down. Sylar immediately flies to the Homeland Security holding facility, where he begins to battle Peter; the outcome of this conflict is unknown.
Powers
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.
Known Acquired Powers
By 2011 in the Dark Future, Sylar has acquired additional powers. His known powers at this time include the following:
- 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)
