Talk:Sylar's victims

Cryokinetics

• Has cryokinesis been confirmed? If not he or an accomplice could be using some kind of liquid nitrogen spray or something. (Admin 23:08, 9 November 2006 (EST))
  • I moved that bit to the theory section --Orne 23:34, 9 November 2006 (EST)
  • Technically, Telekinesis (the manipulation of kinetic energy, or the cause of an object's movement without movement of your own affecting it) can also be used in a number of other ways. Kinetic and Thermal energy are quite intertwined, and presumably one who could affect kinetic energies of objects without movement could also affect thermal energy in the same fashion, causing heat to flow from one point to another. Normally, when kinetic energy is shifted, work is done and heat generated. To use TK to freeze something or someone, the movement must simply be slowed or stopped. Without movement (molecular kinetic energy), there is no heat (thermal energy). Therefore, Telekinesis=Cryokinesis. Rihk 23:20, 20 November 2006 (EST)

Decapitation

I removed the references in the gallery to decapitation, since that's technically not what is being done. Decapitation is the removal of one's head. A more appropriate term for the murders would be scalping, I suppose. --ZyberGoat 00:25, 15 November 2006 (EST)

• How about encephalectomy?
  • Rolls right off the tongue, doesn't it? Probably too jargony for use in the image captions, but would be more appropriate in the article body.--Hardvice (talk) 01:21, 15 November 2006 (EST)

Eden

• I got the impression she shot herself with the gun, rather than letting Sylar get her power. Is it really clear that he forced her?--Hardvice (talk) 23:48, 4 December 2006 (EST)
  • He pulled her through the glass using telekinesis. I don't believe she committed suicide at that moment - I felt it was obvious she was coerced. Other opinions? - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:39, 5 December 2006 (EST)
    • It's clearly suicide. He says he's going to steal her power, she turns the gun towards her and suddenly he has this "oh crap!" look on his face. No way he has that look if he made her pull the trigger. --Fcphantom 00:43, 5 December 2006 (EST)
      • I agree. He definitely looks as though it's an unplanned thing, and he just told her that he was going to steal her power. I call it self-sacrifice. --ZyberGoat 00:46, 5 December 2006 (EST)
        • Plus, if he was going to steal her brain, I'm sure he'd have used the good ol' telekinetic can opener trick. A gun seems like he's risking wasting her sweet, sweet brain.--Hardvice (talk) 00:50, 5 December 2006 (EST)
  • I just watched the scene over again, and you're right, it was a self sacrifice. I think I misinterpreted the hand slowly turning for Sylar's telekinetic powers. ... It does make that "oh crap" look Sylar gives afterwards very satisfying for the audience... As for the article, you're right, it shouldn't say he killed her, but there should be a note about it somewhere. - RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:58, 5 December 2006 (EST)
