[QUOTE="Felon, post: 4489660, member: 8158"] I believe the point of Mommy Patrelli feeding the woman with the psychometry powers to Sylar was to give him a power that would infuse him with empathy. He now experiences other people's and memories through contact. Didn't seem to take completely though... This issue is nothing new. For all the trouble Sylar goes to to steal powers, how often have we ever really seen him use anything but the TK? Almost never. He doesn't use the ice powers or the meliting power or the super-hearing or the transmutation powers. Peter, of course, is worse just by virtue of all the powers he should have by now (consider the ramifications of past Peter encountering his future self, with all the powers he's accumulated), but doesn't bother to manifest. Shouldn't be too surprising. This is a classic tactic when the villain becomes the breakout character, reforming him and making him a good guy. Some might recall that after last week's episode, I suggested the possibility of Kring "pulling a Barnabus Collins" with Sylar, an 'lo and behold...(I guess "pulling a Spike" would have been a more up-to-date reference). I actually see this as one of the good moves the show's made. If they're going to keep the character around, he needs some gravitas, something to overcome. Remorselessly snuffing people one episode after the next has very limited potential. [/QUOTE]
