I don't get this "Peter is Sylar" thing. Where does Peter get permanent TK powers? Unless you also subscribe to the brain-eating theory, I guess, but then the combo seems pretty far-fetched.

The Powers That Be have stated he's the villain for Season 1.
Also, while I don't subscibe to the "Peter is Sylar" theory, a Peter vs. Sylar showdown would be interesting, as Peter could leech all the powers Sylar has - TK, memory, cryogenics, and whatever else. Peter is, especially in relation to Sylar, the most powerful of the heroes, by far.

Evidence:
A) He can find the heroes. He has a map, yes, better than Chandra Suresh's, but there are 6 million people in NYC - how does he find Nathan specifically? Not to mention the little girl, not to mention Charlie. He has a bunch of pins on that chart that are only cities, not people. Nathan is the exception, not the rule. He can detect heroes.
B) There are TWO powers expressed at the first crime scene - cryogenics and telekinesis. Yes, you could argue the cryogenics was teke, but that opens up a gigantic can of plot holes (why didn't he freeze Matt or Clea, among others).
C) Why remove the brains at all? If the goal is simply to kill heroes, he can do it easily. Yet, on three occasions (future-Isaac, Matt's first scene, Charlie) he specificaly takes the brains. Why? The answer (spec) - save the cheerleader, save the world. With Claire's power, he is virtually unstoppable. (not spec) We know at least two (Isaac and Charlie) have abilties. Coupled with point A, it's only logical he can specifically locate/detect heroes.
D) We know that a blow to the brain negates, at least, Claire's regen. That strongly suggests (though I admit, not proves) that the brain is the focus/center of the powers.
Really, it's the only theory that fits everything we've seen so far in a logical manner, as of yet. It explains why Claire is important, why the brains are taken, why Papa Suresh and Sylar are working together, how he can pinpoint specific people.
Also, I don't think Ted escaped, I think Sylar got him, leading towards the big boom.

That's the assumption I made when I posted the theory.
As for Sylar "Stealing" powers, it just seems that he has multiple powers. He has shown some sort of shield against bullets or else healing ability (cop shot him), levitation or flight, and TK....am I missing anything? All other Heroes seem to have just one power. Yes...weak evidence...but its fun.

He could probably accomplish all that with just TK alone.lrsach01 said:That's the assumption I made when I posted the theory.

When Sylar tried to kill/kidnap the little girl from the FBI building. Matt-the-psicop shot him, knocking him down. We 'assumed' that he killed/wounded Sylar, but then Sylar left by jumping/flying out of a shaft.
(this ignores the concept that the deep-secure part of the FBI building is directly attached to steam tunnels
)

Yeah, but Peter wouldn't necessarily be a challenge for Sylar. Just because Peter gains the powers doesn't mean he'd know what to do with them (or at least, be as effective as he could be). And since he doesn't suppress the powers in other people (as seen in the flying with Nathan bit), Sylar would be full up and--theoretically--able to best use them, having had practice.LightPhoenix said:
Peter definitely is the most powerful, though, if his powers work the way people think they do.
But we also do not know how many powers Peter can hold and use, if he mimics all the powers he comes into contact within say a hour, he can have a hell of a lot of powers and Saylar's, he is the ultimate 'team' player.Seonaid said:

We also don't know how long he can hold the powers . . . Goodness, if he has control over how long he has them (or if they have some sort of use- or other-non-variable-dependent timing), he'd be nigh unstoppable. He'd have the luxury of learning how to best use the powers he steals, which is what he lacks now (assuming that he can hold them for more than a few minutes and that he can hold more than one or two at a time).
