I was being dorky and decided to read a bit on NBC's own Heroes forum... and there was a theory discussed about Sylar that blew me away. No idea if it's what's gonna happen, but I thought it was great nonetheless. I'll spoiler it, just in case...

Spoiler:
Sylar is Peter, from the future (something that's been suggested here before, too). He has come back in time, using Hiro's powers that he's absorbed. But here's the real kicker: Sylar is the alter-ego that's created when Peter absorbs Nikki's powers of split personality / psycho-ness! I think that's a kick-ass idea, and I would be mightily impressed if that's what they did. I think it covers every angle... It gives a reason for Peter becoming evil, and it explains why Sylar let Peter get away so easily. He couldn't kill his past self, now could he? Thoughts?



edit: there's another idea i wanted to discuss, too. Maybe it's obvious, but what the hell. People have brought up the idea that maybe Claire is immortal/invulnerable/unkillable/whatever, and didn't really need protection from Sylar. But, remember she was incapacitated when that metal rod was shoved through her brain. She was unable to heal anything when she was, I guess, brain dead. And what does Sylar do? Steals your damn brain. So that might be an effective (and only?) way to kill her.
