Heroes Season 1(#15)---2/12/07-'RUN!'

[LightPhoenix]

The Freezing guy I think was the father of the little girl that Matt found hidden in the House when he first manifested his telepathy. Remember the corpse was frozen, as well as his head cut open.

I had forgotten the head was cut open. I'm not 100% convinced that's him - why freeze the body after you've taken the power? Why freeze yourself? - but it's a good theory. It also meshes with the heritage of powers, since the little girl has powers too, otherwise Sylar wouldn't have been chasing her.

 

[F5]

Yeah, I don't think the girl's father was the freezing guy, either. The implication is that Sylar has to kill his victims to get their powers. Since he used the Freezing power on the Dad, I don't think it could have come from him. It's POSSIBLE that the dad was a red herring; that Sylar thought he had the power when it was really the girl, much like he thought the other Cheerleader had Claire's power.

Another power he's shown is his ability to play possum. He was clinically dead when the doctor called HRG, then woke up. So, we have his own power, TK, Freezing, Memory, Death Trance, and melting. 6 powers at least, and counting. Any other powers he has will be either insignificant, or very specialized...otherwise he would have used them by now.

As a tangent, does anyone know where the initials "HRG" came from? Or what they stand for?

To try out your new power!

 

[LightPhoenix]

It's possible, I suppose, I know I'd be trying it out!

I like F5's idea that he got the Death Trance/Possum ability from the Dad, and the little girl had another power.

That 'may' be a variation of the 'How Things Work' power. At least, I assumed it was.

 

[DwelleroftheDeep]

As a wide guess I suggest that freezing was in fact the dad's power, but it effects the user rather than being offensive in nature. The reason the dad is frozen is that he was trying to defend himself and the power became permanent upon his death. Sylar now uses the power to protect himself from bullets.

Or not. The more I type here the more sure I am that it's not that.

 

[Fast Learner]

In the online comic (insert understanding response to complaints about mentioning it here) he uses the freezing power to freeze all of the water on a road, making the cards behind him skid and slide.

Until F5 suggested it might be a power, so did I.

I still say Linderman wan't him dead 'cause Linderman is a super.

And as for Sylar, he could have all kinds of power he can wipe out, powers we've never seen before. It has not been established exactly how many brains/powers the man has stolen.
