If your old enough to have grown up watching this when it was airing and seeing Sylar pointing his finger at his next victim and hearing that nail scratching chalk boarding noise when he's in the middle of operating was stuff of nightmares. Great first Season
@@eddhanks unfortunately 😔 season 2 was awful and season 3 was such a mess with fanfiction like story. Season 4 was okay I really liked Samuel but his goal didn't feel threatening because of the way they built it up.
Héros is deferent from X-Men c'est des bd ou bande dessinée différente mais les gens adore ce serait bien qu'il y ai la suite télévisé ça ferra gagner du frique a un maximum de gens fans des deux show
Technically he only has 1 power to learn how other powers work so he can simulate them. Pity they never developed him enough, because someone who can understand how things work can optimize, combine, and invent new things.
I don't think his power is "learn how other powers work" He just have a precise instinct about how things works, including how power works and how to assimilate them
How does he analyze their brains to gain their abilities? We just gonna chalk that up as bad writing or do they ever elaborate on this process? if the explanation is that his ability to “see how things work” would allow him to somehow replicate the biology of his victims that is completely preposterous if the powers in this universe are *GENETIC* meaning one person, very unique to that ONE person. If their powers worked off of some kind of 3rd party spiritual force like Mana or the force from star wars than you could make a case for this but as is it makes absolutely no sense.
@@sawysauce1256 To understand how he does this, we need to know what his powers are first. His power is called Intuitive Aptitude. His power takes the form of the ticking of watches. If he concentrates on these 'ticks', he is able to understand how things work on the fundamental level. This is the reason why he's such a good watchmaker, and also why he was better at using powers than even the original owner. The first time he got a power, he followed the ticks, which allowed him to not just understand the brain, but to also understand the evo's genetic marker. This allows Sylar to gain the same effect as Peter, mimic the brain patterns and the power, and gain a more 'powerful' version of the power. Now, you might think why I said he mimics powers, not take them. Well, it's because he doesn't take powers, he doesn't need to actually kill. Brcause technically, he could just observe what an evo does with their powers and eventually gain them just like that. But he doesn't because he's already addicted to following the 'ticks', specifically evo 'ticks', he's hungry for them. Hence how he gets other powers. If you read this, thank you for using your time to read this.
Sylar vs. Peter was the best thing about this show. It was the ultimate, hero vs. nemesis showdown, every time they crossed each other’s paths. You knew that things were about to get serious. I was always routing for Peter in the fights. 🙂
Same. I was routing for Peter too, but I still loved Sylar. Even as a character I think Sylar is better. Its a shame Peter was ruined in season 3. In season 1 and 2 Peter was op but he didn't know how to properly control his powers like Sylar did. But in season 3 it seemed like Peter had figured out how to use them even before he took Sylar's original ability. We didn't get to see the proper showdown between Peter and Sylar. 😔
Those salaris VS peter battle always dissapointed me. I always hopen for an all out battle with using all of their powers but the series just went to shit and that battle never came to be 😠
@@saveourplanet0139 yea heroes could have been so much more. i hope they make another series of it or do a remake of some kind as it has a lot of potential imo
Sylar didn't have regenerative healing when he got shot by Parkman. He just used his telekinesis to blunt the impact. He doesn't get that power until he takes it from Claire later in the series.
Sylar is the perfect villain, thanks for clarifying that he has the power to learn how things function, I never picked that up while watching the show!
What I love most about Sylar, and what I think makes him one of the best written villains of all time, is that unlike most that seek redemption, he's not necessarily in conflict with his own morals, but rather with his own ability. The hunger that Intuitive Aptitude gives him to understand how things work was tamed enough when he was working with time pieces, but once it got a taste for the complexity of the human brain and the intricacy of superpowers, he became a slave to his own ability. And in the beginning, he tried his best to fight it, which we see when he contemplates suicide after acquiring Telekinesis by murdering Brian Davis. The only reason he became a threat to anyone was because he was pushed over the edge by Elle Bishop at the behest of the company so they could see what else he was capable of (Since he was the first they knew of who had taken on another person's ability). All of the bloodshed that follows is interwoven with Sylar's attempts to subdue the hunger, the most prominent example probably being after he kills Isaac Mendez for Precognitive Painting and meets with his own mother for the first time since he began his killing spree. While she propelled him his whole life towards the idea that he could be special, perhaps something more than the watch maker he became, Gabriel just wants a reason to give up the path towards 'Specialness' that he's found himself walking. She denies him that, telling him he's destined for greater things, and ultimately fearing what he's become once he displays his abilities to her, ultimately dying by his hand in a complete accident. While there's a few other examples of stuff like this and I could go on and on, just acknowledge the legitimacy of his redemption arc if nothing else. It's hard to see where his humanity and his ability bleed together, but they do, and he struggles with it for the entire series.
Honestly i will forever love this show. It definitely got worse as time went on but seasons 1 - 3 to me are great because these were comfort food during my early teen years, whenever I watched this show I always felt better.
I always thought if Sylar met and understood how Peter's and Ando's Powers he would be unstoppable. I mean proximity copying and power amplifier is one deadly set of powers.
@Ergys Fama only reason according to how it was written, Sylar maintained telekinesis because he felt immense guilt for killing the man he got it from but the virus robbed him of the rest except his Intuitive Aptitude and telekinesis
@Ergys Fama The Writers screwed up his story since the beginning. Just because he can understand how a superpower work, it should not give the ability to reproduce that same ability. Nevertheless, inside the logic of the own show, it makes no sense that he can lose any power by all means because he acquired all of them using knowledge. The only way to deny his abilities would be memory manipulation. As i can see, His primary ability should be absorption of power by DNA consumption (brain tissue). This would be more logical and would justify him brutally kill his victims and the "hunger" that he feels for power.
No matter what I think we can all agree with just telekinesis and intuitive aptitude he's op. If he never lost all those other powers I would go as far as to call him a God
@Ergys Fama I always felt like it was a hungry to constantly learn more powers and not so much a hunger to kill because when he is around people without powers he wouldnt have this need to kill them. It was only when he came across another super where he would become obsessed with learning their ability. He would later realize he just prefers to kill to get the power.
Sylar's (and a lot of other heroes) biggest weakness is not being able to multitask You can see from moments like Ando walking in before Sylar had the chance to kill Hiro that he is as easy to distract as anyone else
Even though the show became a heap of wasted potential, Season 1 is still one of the best television seasons I've seen and Sylar was definitely one of the highlights.
0:33 In the first place, he did not heal, he stopped the bullets with telekinesis, 1:12 it is not super Strenght, he pushed her with telekinesis due to his own ability, he can resist psychic influences and the use of narcotics or drug use, thanks for letting me comment
Sylar's main ability was Intuitive Apptitude which allowed him to study thing and see how they work. Also allowed him to study the powers and abilities of other EVO's before he took them as his own. Sylar never had super strength or Rapid cellular regeneration until in later seasons. He got regeneration in season 3 from Claire and flight from Nathan Petrelli in towards the end of season 3. Few other abilities later on
For everyone one confuse his power is to see how things work , so that why at least in season 1 before the retcon he would open their head to see how their powers work and mimic it
0:32 Regenerative healing factor?🤨 The more likely thing was Sylar simply caught the bullets quickly like a telekinetic vest. After all, SPOILER, Sylar didn't get regenerative healing until a later season. Which means he never had it before.
Sylar never had a healing factor, that was the whole purpose of season 3, so that he can never die and accomplish ruling the world. His power to detemine "how things work" is called Intuitive Aptitude.
Hello APE i love the new videos you post every day I just would love to say that your the best channel that produces videos on superpowers from shows i love your channel and i love superpowers also if i could pick any power from any of you videos i just have to chose that it would be sylar because I could understand how there powers work 😀
@@nathancarabajal8271 For regeneration, he stopped the bullets right as it almost hit his chest, giving the illusion that Matt shot him. For the super strength, he basically just used telekinesis the emulate super strength.
Syler is Bullet Proof, He could not heal yet when Parkman shot him, that combined with strength and Ballistic nature likely account for him surviving massive falls, hits, and Hiro
Both Sylar and Peter are so OP,they have Super Strength,Super Hearing,Super Speed, they can Regenerate/Heal from any injury,they can Fly,Use Telekinesis,Shoot Ice from their hands,Manipulate Fire/Pyrokinesis,they Can Go Invisible,Cast Illusions,Also they have Telepathy,Precognition,Shapeshifting,they can Melt anything,Manipulate Time and much more.
@@tjepic5256Ash Ketchum and Hikari Yagami: let us introduce ourselves(when it comes to superpowered characters depowered with nothingnbut bad writing)
Yeah he had way more powers than this lol! and those stats for how powerful he is....waaaaaaaay off. The whole show was surrounded by groups of the most powerful superhumans that couldn’t beat him. In the end they had to turn him to the good side in order to nullify him destroying everything and everybody
The rankings are based off what's being shown in the video. But yes I am working on a new series thats all about their rank in detail. But not until I make more of just the all powers videos.
@@AllPowersExplained Cool I can’t wait to see it. I also want to thank you for your work you put into your channel! I can across it a few weeks ago and I can say your the best at explaining their abilities and powers without going overboard. Keep up the good work!
Only Written Super Villain that made you not want Super Powers because he was a Super Serial Killer. Sylar character in season 1 made total logical sense because Sylar power was to know how anything works (which is OP by itself) and sense he knew how Supers powers work plus how to take them for himself by killing a person with powers. Then the natural progression was to hunt them down to get as many power as possible for yourself. Who wouldn't want a bunch of Super Powers?
They should've just kept him as shadowy ball cap brain man that never speaks. The only time they would show Gabriel is through flash backs before he became Sylar.
5:24, This is Candice's Illusion ability, Sylar hadn't learned how to shapeshift yet, even thought it was in the future, this was more how Candice's Illusion power worked, it was instant opposed to when Sylar did the Shapeshifting it took a couple of seconds.
Sooooo. He's a villain then. He seems powerful enough to- welp, he got an idiots death Also. At 6:50, only Magneto has the power to flip moving vehicles and look cool doing it
0:37 I'm think it's was barrier with telekinetic superpower. In this is time he dont have not is the regeneration power. He's will get that power in some time later
Power Absorption: 10.....before being depowered. Speed The Absorbed Power Is Learned: 10 He learns them on the spot despite not knowing how he does it.
Sylar did not have healing powers when he was shot by the detective. First season whole thing was stopping hin from getting to Clear. He probably stopped the bullets with telekenisis
Little correction here I'd like to point out, the first clip where he uses telekinesis and is covered in shadows? He doesn't have Rapid Cellular Regeneration. What he's actually doing is using Tactile Telekinesis to augment his strength, durability, and movement. Blocking the bullets with a telekinetic forcefield.
Ahhh HEROES, How I loved this show.. Ill timed as mid way through, it was troubled by the writers strike, that seen the loss of many good shows at the time.
0:34 1:30 Actually Sylar never had Regenerative Healing Factor. That was pretty much the whole point of the first season: Save the cheerleader, save the world. Sylar only got that ability in S3 from Claire. The idea was in S1 that if Peter managed to save Claire at the Homecoming dance, Sylar wouldn't be able to regenerate when Hiro stabbed him in the finale. The thing with that is that means those two timestamps are likely plotholes.
Imagine homelander and soldier boy's powers were apart of peter petrelli's ability of empathetic mimicry and sylar's intuitive aptitude in the series! 💯🔥😁😉👍
It's a cool vid that I enjoyed and I especially enjoyed the video game style statistics runthrough at the end...I didn't like the fact that they were all wrong even by lamens terms...and sorry to be the 'nerd in the trench coat here but yeah. These are obviously based on season 1 powers and that's fine because Sylar hadn't suffered from the writers strike at that point. Some of the scenes used were based in a reality that technically never happened tho, but we'll write that off as 'whatever'. When you're grading things tho it's all contextual. Seeing as a 6 is on the board I assume this is grading on a scale of 1-10 so given that season 1 Sylar was the main antagonist......or even not, these stats are wayyyy out of whack. Strength: should be a 9. He definitely ain't perfect and there's no differentiating factors here so I'll take it to mean 'power'. He was literally the most powerful character in season 1, it kinda drove most of the story. Speed: you gave him a 5....he was never that quick tbh, I'd give him a 3 in this but he did seem to superhumanly move quite often despite having no explainable reason for being able to...So fine, cut the slack make it even I guess. Agility: 1.....Why the fuck you lying bro? In season 3 yeah that'd be understandable but in S1 he got at least a 4 in agility Stamina: 1.....this guy spends his time stalking people, he was literally tied to a chair and basically tortured and held his shit together basically just to troll the guy and you give him a 1 in stamina? Get real Durability: 6. He actually has far less durability than he has stamina so....wtf lol Intelligence: 6. Season 1 Sylar is worth at least an 8 in this stat. Fighting: 2. Given the way you're judging things I would assume this to mean fisticuffs, so this should be a 1 Energy Projection: 4 WTF DOES THAT MEAN?!?!?!?!
Something I don't get sylar has a regenerative healing factor he survived and quickly healed from several gunshot wounds but he gets stabbed through the chest with as far as we know a completely normal sword and dies. Then take into account that he had more than enough time to stop the guy before he got close enough to stab him and he also knew how he was going to possibly die because he saw it in his painting. So all in all he should have been able to prevent his death.
I don't understand why he didn't throw Nikki/Jessica in the final episode season 1 when she beat him with that parking meter and hiro when he ran towards him with his sword? I know all villains have to be defeated and even though that didn't kill him I still think they show should have written the ending better
0:33 this was a mistake by the writers. Sylar did not get Rapid Cell Regeneration until Season 3. Although I love the show, this was one of the biggest plot holes in Season 1, at least to me.
