Peter vs. Sylar | |
---|---|
Sylar and Peter face off |
Peter and Sylar have had many confrontations.
Play By Play
Round one (Homecoming)
Peter tries to hold Sylar off while Claire escapes. Sylar telekinetically rips doors off of nearby lockers and hurls them at Peter, which Peter Deflects then follows Claire out onto the stone bleachers. Peter tells Claire to get to the stadium because Sylar doesn't want to be seen. After Claire leaves, Peter and Sylar struggle at the top of the bleachers, and both men fall off the back of the bleachers to the ground below. Claire returns to find Peter regenerating his wounds, resetting his broken bones. He sends her away for help, and the police arrive. Seeing him apparently unhurt and covered in blood, they arrest him.
- Results: Both captured. Tie.
Round two (Parasite and .07%)
Peter later visits Mohinder's apartment, with nowhere else to go. However, he finds his entry impeded by a chair, and the place is dark. Peter calls out for Mohinder repeatedly, but gets no response. However, he feels some drops of liquid coming down from above. Horrified to see it is blood, he looks up, to see a bloody, but alive, Mohinder. He whispers hoarsely "Sylar". Then, Sylar himself appears before Peter, and announces his recognition of Peter. He also realizes that Peter is "like him", so he wants to see how. He then pushes Peter against a wall, and begins cutting off the top half of Peter's head.
As Sylar attempts to slice Peter's skull, he notices it quickly regenerating. Peter then uses telekinesis to throw Sylar into a glass fronted bookcase, breaking his concentration. When Sylar gets back up, Peter turns invisible, and Sylar expresses his interest gaining that ability. Unable to see Peter, Sylar uses telekinesis to throw shards of glass in all directions. One shard penetrates the back of Peter's head, killing him. As Sylar prepares to take Peter's brain, Mohinder hits him with the board containing the map. Sylar is knocked unconscious.
- Results: Peter dead, Sylar unconscious. Sylar Wins.
Bonus Round (Five Years Gone)
During a ceremony in respect to the victims of 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, shocking all those at the ceremony. At the facility, Sylar phases through the door Peter was using to hold off his enemies, presumably having acquired the power from D.L. Hawkins. With Peter separated from the others as well as realizing that the Nathan before him is not his brother, Sylar reveals his true form. The two rivals then face each other in an epic showdown the outcome of which is not known.
- Results: Unknown.
Intermission (Landslide)
At Kirby Plaza, unbeknownst to Peter, Mr. Bennet, Ted and Claire, who are devising a plan to stop the bomb, Sylar is lurking around a corner eavesdropping on their conversation. Peter hears Sylar planning an attack on Ted and realizes that that Sylar is stalking them. Before they can formulate a plan, FBI agents ambush and arrest Ted. Peter grabs Claire and makes them both disappear.
Round three (How to Stop an Exploding Man)
The first two people to arrive at the Kirby Plaza are Mr. Bennet and Peter. They are looking for Sylar whom according to Molly, was already there. Peter suggests that Sylar's hiding in plain sight, but when Peter turns his head, Sylar sneaks up behind Bennet and telekinetically crashes him into a wall. Peter faces Sylar, who muses that he'd already killed him, to which Peter responds that it didn't take. Sylar then uses telekinesis to choke Peter, saying that he doesn't want him to take all the glory. Matt walks up to Sylar and shoots four bullets at him, but Sylar quickly stops them in mid-air and propels them into Matt's chest. At that very moment, Micah, Molly, Niki, and Mohinder run out of the Kirby Plaza building with a wounded D.L.. Mohinder rushes to Matt to try and help him.
While choking Peter, Sylar moves a traffic meter into his hand and hits Peter with it. Niki, knowing she can help, runs up to Sylar and snatches the traffic meter from him, giving him a whack in the stomach. Micah calls for his mother, saying that dad could use her help, and Peter tells her to go back to her family. Peter then goes to Sylar and punches him in his face while using enhanced strength, leaving his face dripping with blood. Peter's hands begin to glow and Sylar looks at him, laughing.
Hiro teleports from Yamagato Industries (where he left Ando after rescuing him from Sylar), to Kirby Plaza behind Sylar. Hiro calls Sylar's name and quickly runs up to him, impaling him with Ando's sword. Sylar falls on the ground wounded. Hiro walks up to Peter and Peter says that he can stop him from exploding by killing him, but before Hiro can do anything, Sylar, on the brink of death, telekinetically tosses Hiro across Kirby Plaza. Before Hiro crashes into the building behind him, he teleports away. Sylar remains on the ground and sees images of his previous victims as he taps into precognition, then his eyes go white.
Just then, Claire arrives. She goes to her father, takes his gun from him, and walks up to a glowing Peter, pointing the gun at him. Peter commands her to shoot him, telling her that she's the only one who can. Claire wants Peter to tell her that there is another way, but Peter instructs her to shoot him, telling her that there is no other way. Suddenly, Nathan flies in between Peter and Claire and lowers Claire's gun, telling her that the future isn't written in stone. Peter tells Nathan that he took Ted's power and that he can't control it and he can't do anything. Nathan tells Peter that he's not leaving him and that he can't let everyone else die. He tells Peter that he saved the cheerleader, so they could save the world. Nathan grabs Peter and flies him up into the atmosphere where Peter finally explodes in a bright light as everyone watches the sky.
- Results: Sylar severely wounded (but survived), Peter exploded (but survived). Tie.
Uneasy truce (I Am Become Death)
In another future, Peter learns from the future version of Sylar that they are brothers. Peter tells Sylar that he needs his ability to save the world, but Sylar refuses to help Peter in this regard. Peter responds by telling Sylar that if he won't help him, he'll just take what he needs, to which Sylar challenges him to try. Peter attempts to read Sylar's mind, but is unable to. He then tells Sylar to paint the future himself if he doesn't trust Peter. Sylar does so, and believing what he painted, he instructs Peter to fix his watch. After repairing it, Peter has access to Sylar's ability. Later, Peter teleports back to his own time, to Sylar's cell at Level 5. Though he is facing the other way, Sylar realizes Peter has arrived. Peter runs across the cell and lifts Sylar up against the wall by his neck, choking him. He tells Sylar that he's visited the future and taken Sylar's power so he can prevent the catastrophic events therein from coming to pass, to which Sylar replies that Peter now has the hunger. Peter says that he won't become like Sylar, but Sylar replies that he already has, calling him brother.
Round four (Angels and Monsters)
After teleporting from a possible future back to the present to Sylar's cell at Level 5, Peter is holding Sylar up by the neck. Sylar taunts him about the fact they're brothers. Peter snaps his neck, then turns to see their mother Angela at the observation window. He telekinetically grabs her and asks what other secrets she's hiding from him, besides the fact that Sylar is his brother. He starts to slice open her skull in an attempt to find out, but Sylar heals his neck injury and telekinetically throws Peter against the cell window, rendering him unconscious.
- Results: Peter unconscious, Sylar unscathed. Sylar wins.
Round five (Dying of the Light)
Peter and Sylar fight over the best course of action regarding curing their mother's condition. Peter grabs Sylar and flies him down the hallway and into a grilled window. Sylar tries to telekinetically hold him off but Peter fires lightning bolts at him. He then uses his enhanced strength to knock Sylar unconscious. Peter hauls Sylar back to the cell and attaches the drug shunt.
- Results: Peter unscathed, Sylar in a coma in Level 5. Peter wins.
Round six (Eris Quod Sum)
A powerless Peter is skulking around Pinehearst, looking for his brother. He finds him sitting on a couch, and Sylar is surprised to see Peter still there. Peter tells Sylar he wasn't going to leave him, and asks why he's is just sitting around and if Arthur took his powers. Sylar replies that he still has his powers, and that Arthur simply told him the truth. The two argue about whether to trust Arthur or not, and Peter says that he knows where manipulating abilities can lead, at which point Arthur enters the room and says the world Peter saw doesn't exist, and that they won't let it. Peter tells Sylar they need to get out of there, but Sylar says he's not going anywhere... but Peter is, and throws him out of a window. Despite falling seven stories and no longer having the ability to regenerate, Peter remains alive, and is helped away by Claire. Arthur wonders how Peter could survive such a fall, and Sylar claims not to know. Having gotten away from Pinehearst, Peter speculates that Sylar must have saved him by using his telekinesis to slow his fall.
- Results: Sylar unscathed, Peter badly bruised and cut. Sylar wins.
Tense encounter (Our Father)
Peter fires a bullet at his father, but Sylar stops it inches from Arthur's head. Peter points the gun at Sylar, but Sylar uses his telekinesis to knock it out of Peter's hands. Sylar then turns to Arthur and asks if he's really his father, to which Arthur replies that he is, but Sylar uses his newly acquired power to discover this is a lie. Sylar says Peter isn't a killer but that Sylar is. He then releases the bullet, which goes though Arthur's head, killing him. Sylar says Peter doesn't have anything he needs and leaves. Peter tells the Haitian to go after Sylar.
Round seven (An Invisible Thread)
Peter arrives with Nathan to fight Sylar. Sylar using electric manipulation to shock one of the brothers, but then the lightning causes the doors to slam shut. There are bright blue lights of electricity flashing when Claire opens the door,and she finds Peter with cuts on his face and Sylar and Nathan nowhere. Then afterward, in a limousine Peter impersonates the President, having acquired shape shifting from Sylar during the fight. Sylar also impersonates Nathan with shape shifting and they shake hands, only to find that the President is Peter in disguise who then knocks Sylar out with the tranquilizer given to him by Noah.
- Results: Peter hurt but recovers. Sylar is unconscious. Peter wins.
Round eight (The Fifth Stage)
Peter absorbs René's abilities and leaves to confront Sylar. In the elevator Nurse Hammer appears and turns out to be Sylar, who throws Peter to a storage room. Peter comes from behind and hits Sylar, who attempts to use his telekinesis until Peter tells him that he has a new ability. Peter then hits Sylar with some nails on the hands, in the mouth and on the legs. Peter demands Sylar release the Nathan persona. Sylar says it's a one-sided deal. Eventually Peter gets the Nathan out of Sylar.
Later on, at the place where Nathan and Peter first talked about their abilities, Nathan decides to jump off a roof. He does so, but Sylar resurfaces. Sylar gets off the car, looks at Peter and walks away.
- Results: Peter succeeds in bringing Nathan out of Sylar. However, since Peter can't hold as many abilities as he used to, he does not have rapid cell regeneration, telekinesis, flight and many other abilities. Thus, he couldn't stop Sylar from escaping. Tie, but definitely foreshadowing a rematch.
- Note: This was a fight without abilities (if you don't count Peter's ability-stopping ability). Thus, this is considered by most fans as the true fight to determine who the "better man" is.
Scoreboard
- Peter: 2
- Sylar: 3
- Ties: 3
Power comparison

Powers Acquired by Sylar
With Sylar's ability enabling him to take the abilities of others, he has acquired many abilities.
Before he was infected with the Shanti virus (Kindred), he had acquired the following abilities (in chronological order):
- Telekinesis (One Giant Leap) from Brian Davis (Six Months Ago)

Sylar originally stole enhanced memory from Charlie Andrews (Seven Minutes to Midnight). However, in Once Upon a Time in Texas, Hiro Nakamura went back in time, preventing the event from having happened. Thus, in the current timeline, Sylar never acquired the ability.
When he was infected, his intuitive aptitude and telekinesis were suppressed, and his other abilities were permanently lost.
He has since recovered from the virus (using a cure in Powerless), and subsequently demonstrated his original ability and telekinesis. Since that time, he has acquired the following additional powers:
- Rapid cellular regeneration from Claire Bennet (The Second Coming)
- Alchemy from Bob Bishop (The Butterfly Effect)
- Clairsentience from Bridget Bailey (One of Us, One of Them)
- Sound manipulation from Jesse Murphy (One of Us, One of Them)

Notes
- In an interview, Tim Kring elaborated on the similarities and differences between Peter and Sylar's powers, calling them "two halves of a similar coin". "Both are able to absorb people’s powers, but in two very different ways. Peter’s is based on his empathy and his ability to connect with people and when he’s around them. Sylar actually has to take your brain and do something with it."
