Heres my kick at Sylar's method of obtaining powers: Take into account his base power [described by danny]: Intuitive Aptitude - Allows an intuitive understanding of how things work. It allows him to see and manipulate patterns within complex systems. It also allows him to alter his own DNA to acquire powers from his victims. Now, the only parts that really do apply is that he can understand intuitively how things work no matter how complex. The altering his DNA part is after he gets telekinesis. He was most likely able to get telekinesis by relying purely on his base ability's limited ability to alter his own DNA... but only after he learned about how it all works. Which is why he would take the brains from his first victims and study them along with medical books on the body -- letting his power absorb the information and then utilize it. Basically if you're able to fully understand how your own body works, you can actually control it with your own free will. After telekinesis he is able to more easily alter his DNA [telekinesis is the manipulation of matter even as small as molecules when mastered - since he has intuitive aptitude... he is able to master powers FASTER than others because he simply knows how they work!!! It's a godly power!]. After his research he probably destroyed them because he is a power hungry dude that doesn't believe others deserve their powers and would hate it if someone were able to obtain them the same way he did. So its more of an insurance policy. I don't believe he eats it because in Season 2 he breaks open the illusionist's head and attempts to obtain her power only to fail because his "hero" gene is inhibited by the virus. He never once took the brain out or even ate it... no blood on his hands, nothing -- he did not have enough time to do any of that in the room he was in. [Also note that his intuitive aptitude is unaffected by the virus because it's not actually a "hero" gene... rather a highly advanced normal human gene, which is why he doesn't consider himself all that special when he actually has a godly power].Posted 2/13/2008 1:50:39 AM #

sylar studies the brain and then learns the power. He does not take anything out of the brain.
