Character History
I Am Become Death
Gabriel welcomes Peter to his home as he and his son Noah are about to enjoy waffles, before realising that it is the past version of Peter. He and Peter retreat in to another room to discuss things; Peter explains that he came to learn how to use the power to see how things work to prevent the future from happening, but Gabriel initially denies his request, and blocks Peter's attempt to use telepathy on him, explaining that his power curses one with an intense hunger to see how things work. Peter raises up his hand in an attempt to use telekinesis and calls Gabriel by Sylar, to which he replies his name is Gabriel.
In response, Peter demands he paint the future to see what Peter is trying to prevent. Upon completing the painting, showing the Earth being shattered in to pieces, Gabriel reluctantly teaches Peter how to use his power of intuitive aptitude by getting Peter to fix his watch. After Peter successfully mimics the ability, Gabriel apologises for the hunger Peter is now cursed with dealing with.
After Claire, Knox, and Daphne invade his home to kill Peter, Gabriel fights with Knox, who uses Noah's fear to enhance his strength. After telling his son to hide, Gabriel is put through a table by Knox, before being kicked along with the table into the kitchen counter, crushing Noah.
Upon seeing his son killed, Gabriel's hands start glowing as he repeatedly punches Knox's face. He then loses control completely and explodes, killing 200,000 people. What happened to Gabriel himself is unknown but it is probable that he survived, as Peter did when he exploded, thanks to Claire's ability.
Evolved Human Abilities
Like his present-day self, Gabriel has taken on numerous powers. Despite losing his ability to paint the future and to manipulate radiation due to the Shanti virus, by 2011 he has somehow regained these powers. He is also able to block Peter's telepathy, but whether this is due to a new power or use of his innate power is unknown.
