Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mustrum_Ridcully" data-source="post: 3544673" data-attributes="member: 710">Hey, I like the idea of Sylar melting himself. (But it doesn't exactly explain the traces of blood to the gully)As someone else mentioned, Sylar and Peter are fundamentally different: Sylar is analytical. He understands how his powers work, and trains in their use (think of the scene where he is "playing" with his radiation powers on top of the building)Peter is intuitive. He picks up a power and just uses them if the time feels right (except for nuclear blasting <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> ). It has a near casual quality to it when he uses a power (think of how he easily he turned invisible or how he took Nikkis strength.) I think you can see it even visually (and it might even indicate a fundamental difference between Peter and all others) - if Parkman reads other people's thought, he looks very focused and concentrated. Peter just picks them up. If Sylar uses a power, he is usually making gestures and focusing on what he is doing (think of his telekinesis and the "Force-Crush" movements he does).But Peter is not always aware of the powers he has or how to use them.If Sylar was in the position of the other heroes, he would probably have been a lot better prepared and would have ensured that the maniac brain-opener would be dead and not just appear dead. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />One of the main reasons why the other Heroes didn't check on Sylar might have been that they were all occupied with themselves. Parkman and DL effectively bind Nikki, Mohinder and the kids. Bennet might have been more concerned with his daughter or vice versa (he was injured). Nathan and Peter are dead or at least far away...Still doesn't explain why they failed to show a scene where someone noticed that Sylar got away...</blockquote>
