Arthur revealed to Sylar that he can obtain the abilities of other people without killing them through empathy. Arthur left Sylar in a room with Elle, with whom he had a long talk, after which Sylar manifested her ability.
It is unknown whether this manifestation was related to empathic mimicry or just a different method of using intuitive aptitude to understand an ability. With this ability comes a 'hunger' for more knowledge and power. Sylar believes that it is this hunger that drives him to murder others and steal their powers. Twice he has been able to suppress this hunger. In one one future he battled to keep his hunger in check for the sake of his son , while in another he had acquired enough abilities to the point where he was comfortable eradicating every other evolved human and thus, destroying every other ability on the planet.
According to his assignment tracker file at primatechpaper. During their conversation, Sylar and Noah confirmed that Sylar has multiple abilities Fallout ; however, apart from telekinesis, the Company was unable to identify what these powers were Godsend.
Based on Mohinder 's statement to the authorities Fallout that at least six people from his father's list have been murdered by Sylar prior to Zane Taylor , it's likely that Sylar had acquired at least ten abilities before he was infected with the Shanti virus in Kindred : the six Mohinder mentioned, plus four he acquired after Mohinder made his statement. While he was infected, he attempted to take an ability from Candice Wilmer , but he was unable to use it. In an interview , the writers confirmed that Sylar was unable to acquire this ability while infected.
After he cured himself of the virus Powerless he was once again able to use his innate ability in addition to the ability he had acquired from Brian Davis , which he retained due to his guilt over killing Brian [1]. He was not, however, able to use the other abilities he acquired before his infection confirmed here. He has acquired several new abilities since curing himself of the virus and continues to acquire more, although he now seems to pursue them less obsessively.
He inherited intuitive aptitude from his father, Samson Gray. With Sylar's ability enabling him to take the abilities of others, he has acquired many abilities.
Before he was infected with the Shanti virus Kindred , he had acquired the following abilities in chronological order :. Thus, in the current timeline, Sylar never acquired the ability. When he was infected, his intuitive aptitude and telekinesis were suppressed, and his other abilities were permanently lost. He has since recovered from the virus using a cure in Powerless , and subsequently demonstrated his original ability and telekinesis.
Since that time, he has acquired the following additional powers:. Sylar killed Echo DeMille , severed Danny Pine 's metallic arm, and knocked out Eric Doyle Dual , but it is unknown whether or not he took their abilities ; Doyle is still alive, Echo's body showed no signs of brain removal , and Danny's body was missing.
Echo's ability is the same as Jesse Murphy 's, which Sylar had taken previously. Telekinesis is Sylar's most commonly observed acquired ability. Before his infection, he frequently used freezing as a secondary offensive ability and the passive enhanced hearing as well. Since recovering from the virus and acquiring new abilities, he often uses the passive abilities of lie detection and rapid cell regeneration, and he also seems to favor electric manipulation, shape shifting, and clairsentience.
He has demonstrated the ability to use at least two of his acquired abilities at the same time The Hard Part. Possibly because of his intuitive aptitude , Sylar's control over an acquired ability is often superior to that of the person from whom he obtained it.

However, Shadowboxing confirms that he did in fact obtain flight from Nathan. While Sylar's mind was trapped within Matt Parkman 's brain, Sylar was able to manipulate him with his own telepathy. However, Sylar never possessed the ability himself.

I wanted to change. A new name; a new life. The watchmaker's son It is so futile. And I wanted to be Don't, it's just That's okay to just be a normal watchmaker. Can't you just tell me that's enough? Ten percent of it, maybe twenty. Imagine the answers we'd have with a hundred percent. Why is there evil? How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? How do we make love stay? Well, almost everyone.
