Theories
Theory | Citations | Notes |
---|---|---|
Luke Campbell is Sylar's half-brother. | None | • Luke's father's name is unknown.
+ Luke seems to know an awful lot of truthful and accurate information about Sylar's real father, even that he sold Sylar as a boy. Such a confession may have been Luke's father attempting to come clean.
+ Luke was told some very personal things from Sylar's father, possibly signifying that Luke is another son.
+ It's very unlikely for Sylar to randomly bump into another person with an ability - as abilities have shown to be genetically linked, it would make sense that they could be related, given the fact that Sylar's father lived so close to Luke's mother.
• It's worth noting that Luke hypothesized that he reminded Sylar's father of Sylar. While this could be just because of their similar natures and origins, it could also be a hint of a family connection.
|
Luke will become Sylar's apprentice. | None | + Promotional articles referring to Luke have always heavily hinted, if not said outright, that he will become Sylar's apprentice. + Without Luke's character for interaction, Sylar would have no reason to still be on the show. The 'searching for the disappeared dad' bit was done in Volume 2 with Matt and Maury; Sylar's heel face revolving door antics in Volume 3 have worn his popularity down considerably. As a character, he can't afford to kill Luke.
- Luke cannot obtain abilities like Sylar can. He can't learn anything from Sylar to that effect.
- Sylar doesn't want to travel with Luke anymore. |
Luke likes Sylar as more than a friend. | None | + Luke always smiles when he sees Sylar.
+ Luke put his life at risk to protect Sylar.
+ Sylar put his life at risk to protect Luke.
"And I let you live, which is kind of a big deal for me!" Luke, Sylar in (Trust and Blood) Sylar knows he is treating Luke differently from other people.
- Sylar had an intimate relationship with Elle Bishop, a female.
- It is unlikely that the writers will introduce a homosexual relationship in the series, much less one involving Sylar.
+ Just after Matt draws the picture of Hiro in India and the scene cuts to Luke and Sylar, Luke very clearly checks Sylar out whilst in the car. |
Luke Campbell is Sylar's nephew. | None | • Sylar's father will appear pretty much older to be Luke's father. Best chance Sylar's father is Luke's grandfather. - Samson sold Sylar to his brother and killed his wife shortly thereafter, implying that Sylar was their only child. |
Luke is related to Ted Sprague. | They have similar abilities. | + They both create radiation, albeit different kinds. - Brian Davis and Misha displayed the same ability. That doesn't mean they are related. • There are both examples of relatives with different powers and unrelated people with the same power. |
Luke will come back for Season 4. | None | + The writers have expressed intentions on exploring more of Sylar's dad. Luke is closely related to the Gray family and Samson. |
Luke isn't related to Sylar or Samson. The reason why he was a friend of Samson's is the same why he attempted to befriend Sylar - because both felt abandoned, insignificant and desperate. | None | + Nothing suggests Luke is related to Samson or Sylar. + Samson is a bored, tired man, and so is Luke. |
Luke will make Sylar remember who he is. | None | + They seem to have a strong bond.
+ Writers have commented that they left Luke's situation open so they could bring him back if they ever wanted to. |
Luke has joined Rebel. | None | + The writers have said that Luke's story will continue in the graphic novels, where Rebel's story is being explored.
+ Of the known members, they have a flyer, a terrakinetic, a technopath, and a forcefield generator. Luke's powerset would be useful and would balance the team a little more. |
Luke will join the Carnival. | None | + The writers have said that Luke's story will be left his storyline open so they could bring him back if they ever wanted to. |
