Notes
|
| Dennis had poison emission or a variation of it. |
None |
+ Throughout his appearance in the graphic novel Viewpoints, his eyes were always black, the same color Maya's eyes were when she used her ability.
- Poison emission is a highly useful ability. If he had it, Sylar would have stolen it. Chances are he had a lesser ability, that Sylar had no use for like corrosive blood.
- + If this was so, he wouldn't have been a Level 5 detainee.
- - He might have had an ability Sylar already possessed, like telekinesis.
- • Noah was in Level 5, and he didn't have any ability.
- + While it initially sounds useful, Sylar would most likely not be able to find a good purpose for it. Poison emission kills instantly, and Sylar needs his victims alive in order for him to examine their brains.
- - Poison emission can take up to a minute to kill. More than enough time to weaken someone and steal their power through brain examination.
- + Incorrect. Even if it can take up to a minute to kill, victims feel the effects immediately and are rendered incapable of any action, other than begging.
- + Exactly, poison emission is lethal and quick. Therefore, unless Sylar killed him instantly, Dennis would have been able to defeat him.
- - Sylar already had rapid cell regeneration, even if it affected him, it wouldn't last.
- • It isn't known if rapid cell regeneration provides immunity from poison emission. Even if it did, Sylar may not have been sure and didn't want to risk dying.
- • Maybe Dennis had enough control over his ability to choose who he infects and how bad.
- + Breathing a poisonous gas and having strength greater than any normal human being are also two useful abilities held by people in the room, but Sylar didn't seem interested in those.
- + As demonstrated by Maya countless times, poison emission is incredibly difficult to control. While Sylar usually has a greater understanding of any ability he takes, he's shown to sometimes have trouble with them initially. Given that, at the time, he was trying to fit in within the Company, it wouldn't look good for him if agents were dropping dead left and right.
