About
Hiros
Isaac paints a picture of Claire running up the stairs. Tim Sale, the real-life artist of the painting, said that "it looks like Nosferatu coming to get her."

The long coat, with felt-trimmed sleeves (as originally worn by Nosferatu), is shown in a painting of Sylar. This is very similar to the costume worn in the 1922 film.
Sylar, using his newly-acquired power of precognition creates a painting of a long-clawed president who somewhat resembles Nosferatu.
Notes
- Nosferatu is famous for his long-clawed hands. Sylar is sometimes rendered in this fashion.
- Nosferatu wore a black long coat with felt-trimmed sleeves. Sylar wears a similar felt-trimmed long coat when going to kill Isaac.
- Nosferatu is often shown as a looming shadow over his victims. Sylar is portrayed in one painting as a shadowy figure looming over Claire.
- In the first draft of the pilot, Sylar was supposed to appear in an Italian prison (In His Own Image). According to Greg Beeman's blog, this version of Sylar was supposed to have long claw-like nails and sharp teeth. He was also supposed to be "way weirder and more monstrous--like Nosferatu.".
-
Nosferatu has sharp teeth and clawed nails.
