[edit] Freezing

I think we can settle the debate on this. In this interview, the writers confirmed Sylar can freeze people. They also confirmed his memory will be getting better as a result of absorbing Charlie's power. --Stabbey 15:14, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

And yet in yesterday's episode, the only power they could find in him was telekinesis. --Kmsiever 15:19, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

That's true, but they know he has more powers. They just can't get them to manifest. Chandra couldn't find Sylar's original power either, but he had something. --Stabbey 20:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

The latest comic, Road Kill confirms the freezing power. --Stabbey 18:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another power

Though it wasn't clearly obvious, Sylar might have stolen a power (similar super-speed, flight, or quick teleportation). I notive this in "Homecoming", when Claire and Peter were climbing up the bleachers. When they reached the top Sylar was still at the bottom, yet seconds after Claire leaves you can hear a sort of "whooshing sound" and Sylar is suddenly at the top in front of Peter. He also seems to be much taller than Peter (more like he was floating instead of being naturally taller than Peter). Since this can't be confirmed however, I know it can't be included in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.167.229.159 (talk • contribs).

By using his telekinetic powers on himself, he could theoretically "levitate", right? Perhaps he did this to get to Peter, which would also explain the lack of footsteps while Peter is not looking. Bio 21:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Requested comment

As an summary by another user requests that a comment be made if their edit is reverted,—>.>—I'll be brief. There is no need for the content which I removed. It was redundant and defeated the purpose of the "killings" template. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 19:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

How so? I thought the purpose was to create a clear list of the murders that Sylar did and the powers he gained from them and the "notes" section being an additional piece of infomation to help put it into context.dposse 22:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The default "context" is that he killed them. The time is fairly irrelevant and the location of NYC can be assumed. Furthermore, giving them all notes defeats the true purpose of the notes. In most tables like this one, the use of notes is a rarity, not a given. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 02:52, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chicago Man

I don't believe this man was directly killed by Sylar. He gave the jacket he was wearing to the man and Audrey shot him accidentaly, so Sylar technically didn't kill him, in my opinion. BioYu-Gi!. 3:28, 23 January 2007

I think that they were talking about the body lying dead in the first page, I also belive that the dead guy's name is "David", because if you look closely in that same page a cop is writing that name in a little notebook.

[edit] So... does he eat brains or not?

I haven't listened to the interview yet and don't really have time at the moment. But the article is unclear... is Sylar actually eating the brains and they've deliberately declined to say so on the show, or did they consider having him eat the brains and decided against it?--MythicFox 03:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

It's not as it reads; somewhere in the middle. Bryan's statements could imply that it's more the latter, but he chose to disclose this explanation. Furthermore, he made no indication that they have another idea or ever will. Plus, from what I've read on forums, fans knew he ate brains for a while now. If new explanation comes to light, we'll obviously write it up, but take that as the best we'll get for now. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 04:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, just checking. I mean, I personally had a theory he was eating the brains (because it's obvious he's doing something with them such that he doesn't just leave them there), but I was just curious about any sort of official clarification. I wouldn't be surprised if they have it come up on the show just to clarify it.--MythicFox 05:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Don't have the reference, but I could swear I read somewhere that early drafts of the character had him eating the brains, but then it appeared too 'zombie-like' and ghoulish and didn't fit the feel of the show...so that's why it's currently rather ambiguous how he's actually acquiring the abilities. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.112.93.84 (talk) 09:33, 27 January 2007 (UTC).

See the ARG page on Sylar. It says "The specific mechanism of acquiring the powers is uncertain, but requires the removal of the victim’s brain matter" -- maybe he needs to see it, not eat it? This would also explain how he has Eden's power if he does. Even if Eden blew her brains out, there could possibly be enough still left over for him to figure out how her power works. 140.247.147.88 03:35, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

We've never actually seen Sylar absorb a power except on his own terms... meaning he could be using a tool or chemical. Chemically absorbing the DNA makes the most sense. Certainly, his understanding of "things" would allow for him to have created whatever means he needs to get their DNA into his. He may not have gotten Eden's power because he didn't have the resources availablr to extract it before it was ruined or something. AllUltima 05:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

One writers opinion does not a consensus make. Every person it's been shown that Sylar killed(after getting his TK), he's sawed their head open and removed their brain. Maybe he eats it, maybe he snorts it, maybe he bakes it into a flavorful apple pie. All I'm saying is that as of "Parasite", it MAY have been further illustrated. He says "So I can sink my teeth in". Sylar doesn't strike me as a big symbolist, so I doubt he meant it in any way other than literally.DiScOrD tHe LuNaTiC 19:25, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Bryan Fuller, a lead writer for the show, confirmed in [a podcast] that Sylar does indeed eat brains. However, the crew chose not to show it on screen because they could not figure out a way to avoid it looking comedic. - fmmarianicolon | Talk 20:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I've removed Discord's text as it does not draw on verifiable sources. There may be a way to reword it to avoid speculation, but as is - it is a theory rather than fact. --Ckatz^chat_spy 21:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Discord, your summary note wasn't necessary. As I said above, if reworded the text about the brains might fit in. Your earlier version *was* speculative, and that is why it was removed. Thank you for replacing it with an appropriate version this time, rather than just reinserting the older version. --Ckatz^chat_spy 19:23, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eden's death

I added an alternate interpretation of how Sylar managed to resist Eden's command and instead attack her. She told him: "I will give you this gun, and then you will kill yourself with it." Since he attacked her before she could give him the gun, the second part of the command never kicked in.StaffanBaloo 04:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

As per the discussion on the List of characters in Heroes Talk page, I removed speculation regarding both resistance and poorly phrased commands. StaffanBaloo 04:36, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sylar's revival

Mr. Bennet said that Sylar altered his own DNA to acquire powers. Sylar seemingly "died", then came back to life. I think those are related. This is speculation, but I think Sylar has the biological manipulation Ability - that would let him alter his own DNA, and control his body to fake his death. What do others think? --Stabbey 04:32, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Biokinesis. Unless they state that directly, we've got nothing. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 21:14, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Biokinesis is a neologism. Therefore it's never going to get stated directly.Jacobshaven3 11:38, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Sylar seemingly died, sometime after an insect crawled across his cell bed. It looked like a cockroach, could he have stolen DNA from a cockroach? cockraoches can slow their heartbeats, live without food for long periods of time, are highly resistant to radiation and can stop breathing for long periods of time. 64.231.11.223 03:23, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree he can take abilities from others why not a coackrach- Red Spider Man 3/1

I also agree, I think this interpretation is intended. Unfortunately, it is impossible to confirm as of now. If it remains permanantly unanswered, then it might be reasonable to eventually add this in as being "hinted at" or something. Hopefully it will eventually be confirmed, though. AllUltima 05:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Add column for episodes

I was wondering if we should add a column, in the table about Sylars murders, that show in what episode Sylars murders are in (the viewers sees them). --Jóna Þórunn 11:02, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Done. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 21:13, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Looks good, thanks. --Jóna Þórunn 23:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inherent Understanding and Adaptability

In this interview with Bryan Fuller (Already cited on Sylar's page), he says that Sylar's power is an "inherent understing and adaptability", and he was able to use his powers in the cell to kill Eden because he was "playing possum". (The Sylar part of the interview starts at about the 42 minute mark). Given that description, I think that his original ability is comprised of two seperate comic-book superpowers:

Superhuman Intelligence - Sylar has inherent understanding of how things work.

Reactive adaption/Evolution - Sylar can adapt his own body to various conditions. It's on a much more subtle scale then in comic books, granted, but it's pretty close.

Thoughts? --Stabbey 13:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, he only has the one power, but I guess you could split it into two parts, like how Hiro can teleport, travel through time, and manipulate time, yet it's all classed as space time manipulation. He isn't superhumanly intelligent though, he just knows he things work on a subconscious level. Mixed with his newly aquired eidetic memory however, he could become super humanly intelligent. Jacobshaven3 13:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

The current "Intuitive Aptitude" listed on Sylar's page sounds good enough. --Stabbey 18:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The low raspy voice

I think it's a bit early to presume Eden's power was stolen. According to the comic, Mr. Bennet and the Haitian burst in on him right after that incident and tranquilized him. Furthermore, during the 30 seconds or so that Mrs. Bennet was lying on the floor, everything was moving in slow-motion, and the clock ticking itself was slowed. This could simply be for effect as Mrs. Bennet is on the ground, stunned; this resembles the "shellshock" effect seen in various WWII films and games, where a nearby explosion causes one's senses to blur and time "slows down". Big Head Zach 15:12, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. If Sylar had Eden's power he would have used it on Sandra or someone else. Also I'll note that Sylar in Peter's dream in Fallout also used a similar raspy voice. I think he was just trying to be as scary as possible to Sandra. --Stabbey 19:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't a "shellshock effect", it was a slo-mo sequence intended to make the event more suspenseful. His voice isn't any more raspy than usual, it's just deepened because it's time stretched. 89.172.5.214 01:27, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

In any case, do we agree that this was _not_ a manifestation of Eden's power? If I remember correctly, he didn't say anything persuasive while his voice was altered. I think we should edit the "in Eden's usual fashion" bit out, but want a consensus before doing so. Valaqil 17:54, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

This interview confirms it wasn't Eden's power. It was just how it came out as a result of slowing the scene down. --Stabbey 18:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

In the episode "Run!", when Sylar arrives on Zane Taylor's doorstep, Zane asks "Dr. Suresh?". Sylar answers "Yes." Zane stares at Sylar blankly. Sylar says "Yes" a second time, a little deeper (but not by much). Zane instantly responds and lets Sylar inside. Aborlan 03:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

He does not say it 'lower', he says it 'softer' and more in the manner of Dr. Suresh. The confusion on Taylor's part was the difference in the voice on his answering machine from when Suresh first troed to contact him, and the voice/mannerism of the man that shows up on his doorstep. Once Sylar softens his voice Taylor is able to convince himself that this man really is Suresh. Taylor convinced himself, it was nothing Sylar did (power-wise) to influence him. Seriously, this is a dead horse, folks. Eden blew her brains out specifically to prevent Sylar from getting her power. Her sacrifice was dead-on, and she knew it. --Bill W. Smith, Jr. (talk/contribs) 15:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The horse is in critical condition ;) Aborlan 17:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reference to the Zodiac killer?

I heard that the Zodiac Killer got his name from a watch, just like how Gabriel got his new name from a watch as well. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 69.230.163.153 (talk) 06:11, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

As far as I was aware the Zodiac Killer called himself it as a clue to the fact he killed people on astrologically important days, or did I read that incorrectly? Jacobshaven3 13:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "possible powers" section

Someone (or several people?) keep adding a heavily speculative "possible powers" section. In addition to disrupting the flow of the article with a large heading, this section is pre speculation and OR. Are there any steps that can be taken to stop this person (blocking, page locking, etc?)? - SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 01:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

If it continues, it might require seeking a block on that IP. The anon in question is continually adding speculative text that has now been removed by several different editors. --Ckatz^chat_spy 08:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why was my addition of the "Sanity" section removed?

My edits have been removed after being deemed "speculation" How is my post speculation? It uses facts that have been presented in the series. -- Psi edit 05:29, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

because its speculation... -Xornok 05:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The reason is because, although you have presented actual material, you've deducted whether it's true or not yourself, and "filled inn the gaps" so to speak. If someone has said "Sylar is possibly mentally unstable" in the series then it's possible to put down, but if you need to put your own thought at all into an edit then it's WP:OR and Speculation. Jacobshaven3 09:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Didn't Mr. Bennet comment on his sanity once? -- Psi edit 17:57, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

you tells us. give us which episode and when he said it... -Xornok 21:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

The episode in which he's first locked up in the cell. "I think you're insane. The infusion of so much foreign DNA has corrupted your mind." I believe the line went something, if not exactly, like that. So the "sanity" section should now be returned, Xornok, given that I was able to state the episode and the line. Kthxbai. 59.100.3.78 12:59, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

um, no not really, we cant cite "i believe the line went something like that". we need exact episode and when it was said, not just some random guess... -Xornok 14:42, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Fine Xornok, fine. Since you're going to be that elitist, I will quote episode name, episode number, exact line, and the exact time in the episode. Here goes.

  Episode 11 - "Fallout"
  Mr Bennet: "It's important to you, isn't it? Being special?"
  Sylar: "It's important to everyone."
  Mr Bennet: "I think you're insane.  I think the infusion of so many alterations to your DNA has corrupted your mind.  All this power is degrading you."

That exchange takes place 8 minutes and 40 seconds into the episode.

Is that exact enough for you? Is that able to be cited? Or do you need the frame numbers that book-end that scene as well? 59.100.3.78 13:25, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Looks like this is covered under Sylar#Personality. -MrFizyx 13:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Bennet's comment also doesn't support the text that was added. All it reveals is that Bennet questioned Sylar's sanity. The disputed material went much, much farther:

"It i s unknown if Sylar is currently mentally "sane". The room with scrawls on it that Mohinder found points to him being very well insane, though it is unknown if they point to his religion (as the writing "Forgive me father for I have sinned" refers to a Christian confessional). The only other regard for his snaity is seen in his talk with Mohinder in the episode "Run" (currently under the alias "Zane Taylor") in which he describes to Mohinder and experience in which he feels "totally out of body" and "close to god"."

It's still all speculation. --Ckatz^chat_spy 17:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Claire

Is it too speculative for now to mention something along the lines of that Sylar wanted Claire's ability so that, coupled with his own current regeneration, his would be enhanced into a practically invincible state, something like Superman? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Goroloiath (talk • contribs) 2007-02-19.

Yes. --Kmsiever 17:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks. My bad with the unsigned comment thing. Goroliath

[edit] Motivation

Would like to see something on Sylar's motivations. A couple of times he has implied that the killings are part of an evolutionary imperative. In the episode "Run!", while posing as Zane Taylor, he describes having an epiphany about his (Taylor's?) ability, and asks Mohinder if he is familiar with Abraham Maslow and the "peak experience". There is some interesting phychology going on with the character if someone can find the right way to write about it. -MrFizyx 00:32, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

If you have sourced information regarding his motivations, please add it. Keep in mind that what he told Mohinder may be part of a ruse and he didn't actually have an epiphany. --Kmsiever 19:27, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Lacking any real source, seems someone has reasonably covered this already under: Sylar#Personality. -MrFizyx 19:34, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Powers

Changed "Atomic Liquification" to "Molecular Manipulation". Atomic liquification implies liquefying atoms which is incorrect. The power is the ability to control the inter-atomic and inter-molecular bonds of a solid object, thus, molecular manipulation. Given that there's also no exchange of heat or visible exchange of energy, I'd say my edit makes this powers' description far more accurate. 203.14.180.98 07:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Charlie Didn't Get Absorbed

Now seriously, her power didn't get absorbed! Hiro changed the past which lead Charlie to an earlier death. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.80.122.234 (talk) 06:25, 26 February 2007 (UTC).

If your theory was correct, then most things that happened before Hiro traveled back in time would not have happened, and the story would not make sense. Besides, apparently the comic reveals his use of Charlie's memory. Bio 18:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I could be totally off-base, but, it appears, from what _I_ remember of Six Months Ago that Charlie simply told Hiro that she would die soon because of the whatever-it-was. He felt sad, they tried to kiss, and he disappeared. The result that I arrived at was that he left her there and, as a result, she died again. Regardless of how it happened, the comic does reveal that Sylar took it. See "Road Kill": "Soon after I killed her, I don't know...I just seem to be remembering things lately." AFAIK, that's canon. Valaqil 15:10, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POWER LEFT OUT

The episode the Fix, does Sylar display the power to make himself appear dead, and then resurrect himself later? 66.109.248.114

That could be another power or it could simply be another use of one of the powers we already know he has. It could also just be bad doctoring. We don't know enough to put it in the article. --dws90 16:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Drew Grady?

When does Sylar take this alias? can we get a source on that? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.189.155.40 (talk) 11:41, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

The proper alias is Drew O'Grady, according to "Road Kill", page four. http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/novels/downloads/Heroes_novel_020.pdf I'll add it in. Valaqil 15:36, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spolier Warnings PLEASE!!!

If someone is going to post detailed descriptions of episodes which have not aired, PLEASE insert a spoiler warning immediately ahead of the material- the one at the top of the page is not adequate. I went to this page for a little information and found the entire plot for the March 5th episode revealed only hours before I could watch it. Saxophobia 01:14, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

That's not how spoiler tags work... The entire page can be considered spoiler material if you haven't watched any of the episodes, hence the tag at the top of the page. --Pentasyllabic 02:13, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

The episode first aired on March 4th... in Canada. If the page included information for episodes that had *not* aired, that would indeed be rather lame. There does seem to be a lot of douchebags here at Wikipedia intent on ruining other people's enjoyment. (ie: editing all the '24' character pages a month and half prior to the premiere) But as it is, I think this case is fair game. 75.162.21.161 03:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sylar can talk to pets!

Lets not forget how Sylar was talking to Mr. Muggles when he was at Claire's house. This must be another random power he got somewhere along the line. Sure, we don't know the full extent/nature of this power, but it obviously is a power and its existence is clear enough to be mentioned (in my opinion). AllUltima 04:58, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

you can be serious... my mom talks to our dog all the time, so what? -Xornok 05:11, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Okay I watched it again and i suppose it cannot be confirmed that he was actually getting a response. Sylar's acting seemed to indicate that he was able to understand Mr. Muggles. I guess this is at best implied so.. never mind AllUltima 06:07, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sound Manipulation?

Could Sylar have the power of Sound manipulation? During the struggle between Peter and Isaac in Unexpected, Peter shouts, causing a shock wave to send Isaac flying backwards, reminiscent of Coach Boomer in Sky High. One can only assume that he had absorbed that power from Sylar during their initial meeting, yet neither Sylar's nor Peter's page mention this as a potential power. What you you think? 198.109.96.35 16:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, maybe not. Under Talk:Peter Petrelli this has already been discussed as either telekenesis, or related to a brief encounter between Peter and Eden. Sorry, I should have read more, first. 198.109.96.31 16:18, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

No, he does not have that ability. There is an interview with Joe Pokaski and Aron Coleite(writers for Heroes) stating that Peter's shout was _just_ a voice effect. The writers say that it is "coolness factor". Read it for yourself: http://www.comicbookresources.com/news/newsitem.cgi?id=9817

Eden killed herself to prevent Sylar from getting her power. She succeeded. IF Peter displays Eden's ability at a later point, he did not get it from Sylar. Valaqil 19:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

In episode 14 Sylar uses a voice effect to say "Hi". I assumed that the voice effect was some random, useless power he picked up in the past, and that Peter inhereted it from him. Based on Sylar's and Peter's usage of this effect it would seem certain that the power exists, but... if the creators are just adding in random SFX that seem like powers but aren't then who knows. AllUltima 01:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cryokinesis

The official NBC site Activating Evolution states in its wiki section that the freezing power, Cryokinesis, was originally possessed by James Walker. It's an NBC run site, so it is an official source. I was going to add it in, but someone left a comment not to, so I wanted to start a consensus first in case there is a legitimate reason to leave it out. Anticrash talk 06:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

It's an NBC-run site, but anyone can edit that wiki. I don't have a feeling on it one way or another, but I have seen some comment that we should avoid using information from other wikis since unverified information can be added into them. Valaqil 15:46, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Give me that damn list so I can save my...!"?

In the latest episode, after Mohinder asks Sylar "Then what would you have me do?" after Sylar mentioned that he "didn't ask for any of this," the latter told the former (whilst being confined to the chair; this took place for 19 seconds past the 29-minute mark):

"Help find a way...give me salvation...[shouts] give me that damn list so I can save my...!"

I didn't catch that last part (that's why I left it in ellipses). I obviously wouldn't do this if it didn't have any significance. However, what strike me as most interesting was that after Sylar's finished saying the quote above, a teardrop came out of one of his eyes. A REAL teardrop. It looked so real to me, so now I'm all the more curious as to the last part of what he said above and if it's going to have any significance or not to the situation in which he said it. Aymanazlan 20:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

It goes like this:

Suresh: "What would you have me do?"

Sylar: "Help find a way...give me salvation...give me that damn list so I can sink my teeth in!"

- SigmaEpsilon → ΣΕ 23:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Liquidation

As far as I can tell, sylar's "liquidation" ability is not that broad, all of the objects that he turns to "liquid" (and the person that he takes the power from) are metal, and from what i can tell these pools of liquid then solidify. I'm wondering if this ability is really just the ability to manipulate the structure of a metal object, but sylar hasn't learned to control it fully yet.

Admittedly, there is no counter-evidence to suggest that he can't turn other objects to liquid, i'm just saying that it seems to be the only thing that he targets.

There is counter-evidence. Watch the original scene with Zane. There are multiple melted items, including, if I am not mistaken, a plastic phone. Valaqil 15:14, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unofficial deaths?

Technically, Sylar DID kill Peter, though he regenerated later. I suppose Isaac wouldn't be counted as this was in the "future", but it's still him killing.211.30.223.128 12:09, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Did this really happen?

There is a whole paragraph in this article, which I think never really happened in the series, and so should be deleted. The paragraph in question is located under the topic called "1.5 Roaming Again":

While on the run once more, the bullet wounds annoy Sylar. He notes that things would be easier if he had Claire Bennet's healing factor. To go "north" and out of "Podunk, Texas," Sylar hitches a ride with a semi-truck driver. After realizing the driver is really heading West, Sylar kills him and hijacks the delivery truck. Police eventually follow Sylar, but he easily escapes them by using his powers to put ice on the road and then jump/fly out of the truck as it crashes over the embankment. Sylar also notes that he is down to the last person he can remember from Chandra's list. Thus, he ends up at the home of this person, and the events of "Run!" begin.

It's in one of the Heroes graphic novels. --Pentasyllabic 05:38, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
