Sylar’s Past Revealed
(Comments: 4)
Labels: , ,

Serial killer Sylar will return this season to Heroes during its highly anticipated two-hour premiere. But, will we see more of his pre-evil alter ego, Gabriel Gray?

According to Zachary Quinto, he'd love to see as much of Sylar's background as possible. He confirmed that Gray will return this season, revisiting the "shades of that character as you first saw him."

The first time we learned of Sylar's past was in the first season's episode "Six Months Ago" in which Chandra Surresh tells watch repairman Gray that he may have super powers. When Gray learns of his real power, which is stealing other people's abilities, he uses them to kill off other "heroes." Surresh figures out Sylar's killing streak and becomes one of his victims.

In "Volume 3: Villains," creator Tim Kring intimates that by using Gray, the show will continue to "peel the layers off of that onion as long as this character exists on the show."

Do you want to see a softer side of Sylar? Heroes premieres on Sept. 22, at 9 pm/ET on NBC

You guys are wrong when you said "When Gray learns of his real power, which is stealing other people's abilities, he uses them to kill off other Heroes..." because his power is NOT to steal other people's powers. His power is called 'Intuitive aptitude' which is the ability to figure out how anything works extremely fast without instructions and such. He just knows how things work, which is WHY he was successful as a watch repair person. He used that power to figure out the connection between the brain and the Heroe's powers, and thus he splits the heroes heads open to get to their brains. I just wanted to point out that his power is to "be able to figure things out," and he used that TO steal heroes' powers because he was one of the few who actually knew how the powers worked in relation to the body and the brain.
