sylar got the ability of indestructible skin from a guy
why is that when claire stab him he got hurt?

The scene you are referring to was part of the deleted scenes from Volume 2 - Episodes 12-14.
They are not part of the current arc - yet.

i didn't see the DVD but didn't he also get active camo (invisibility)? cause he used that when he was toying with claire...

i know some people (including myself) attributed it to a supposed "hide in plain sight" ability that he got somewhere along the line but after i heard he picked up that ability i thought thats what he was using when he vanished from claire.

the dvd extras are not to be taken into consideration....they didnt happen ....
who said sylar vanished from claire?....theres no proof of that...it looked to me like he was just hiding....

The scene in the house. You can see his reflection, but he isn't there.

that reflection was at an angle and he was there...just seconds later you see him hulking behind claire....watch it again

i have no life, i've watched it three times. maybe you should watch it again. when claire is walking backwards with the knife sylar walks by her into the corner of the kitcen, the camera pans to that verycorner but he's gone, vanished! then claire turns and walks towards the door and u can clearly see his reflection.

paying attention = win

Three times now. He wasn't there.

Obviously, we're in agreement that Sylar somehow "blended" in with the environment. Does this mean he has Candice's ability after all?

how did sylar hide at kirby plaza? how did he escape from audrey hanson after claiming to be issac mendez? how did sylar appear behind peter in their first fight? all this was before candice. one of the abilities he had/has is to "hide in plain sight". so either he still has his old powers and was using that one particular power, or he got invisibiity after he regained his abilities.

No. Candice died without giving him her ability. (Remember? He had the virus. He wasn't using any abilities at the time, which precluded him gaining new ones.)

It just means he has a hiding ability of some kind.

so you think sylar retained his powers that he had previously gained? whats your opinion?

Maybe it was just "stored", only to be realized after Sylar shot up with the virus "cure." Or perhaps a "chameleon."

Either he retained his hiding ability, or he gained a new one during his little walk.



Yeah...that makes no sense. If his powers were off, that means all of his powers were off. That means no getting new ones.

How do we know that his intuitive aptitude was off? Even he didn't realize it as he was examining Candice's brain. No power surprised him.

cause he had the virus. virus = no powers, even his original power which without, he could't take someone elses power.

ehh, still not convinced.

Well, since you won't take the word of the show, will you accept confirmation from the writers?

that explains alot.. but i have another question... since Peter and Sylar have very similar abilities does that mean Peter never absorbed The Haitan's powers since his own ability was disabled?

When they were disabled? No.

We do know of at least once when he was in proximity to the Haitian and had his powers...

Since the Haitian has the ability to block others powers he would be able to block Peter's ability to absorb. The instance Synch refers to, where Peter had his powers in proximity to the Haitian-- it is believed that the Haitian allowed Peter to use his power with orders from Angela. IMO he would still be able to block Peter from absorbing his ability, which Peter hasn't demonstrated having at present; further, I don't think Peter would even be aware that the Haitian was blocking his absorbing ability.

I actually agree with you. I was mainly bringing that up because it was an instance where Peter used powers around him, thus leaving the door open if they decided to give him that ability.

Ok can we all plesas remeber syler was killing people since befor the first season began. He found out he could take powers from mohinders dad. We didnt even know who he was at first but we knew he had alot of powers from the cop that was with matt, she said " Syler has been killing alot of people but we dont know why" Well we know why now but who knows who he killed in the past. He can have any number of powers that we dont know about

Indestructable skin? With that Peter COULD be Superman. Lol.



I know i've been gone for awhile, but didn't we agree that Sylar had dynamic camoflauge way back in S1? Or at least umbrakinesis?

We thought he had something, but there was no agreement on what, if anything, it was.

So then I would assume that Sylar retained a good number of his original powers, and that they will all return over time. TK came back first, the mystery power next, the rest coming slowly as he heals himself further. Yes, TK seems to be his primary power, but either way, something besides intuitive aptitute was retained after the virus. It makes no sense to think he still has one and not the others. TK was his most used, strongest, so it came back first, although weakened. He has to "Level Up" again.
