Heroes, "I Am Become Death" - Spoilers

[Reijin]

Something that a group of my friends came to, and simultaneously another group of friends actually texted me, is that each of Nikki's personalities have a different power.

Also, Angella meant that literally. Sylar is adopted and Angella is the mother. He asked her specifically about what she meant.

It really doesn't "not" make sense.

Angella's power, I had already guessed it a long time ago. Additionally, I had already guessed Peter was the shooter; his future version was becoming a bit of a dick there and would walk out on people and turn his back, was more brutal through S2.

Oh, and the funny text that got forwarded around through my coworkers at one point "Mohinder horny spiderman"

So basically Sylar gains someone's power by studying their brain and using his "reasoning" ability to understand which part of their brain ripples is their power. Then through learning it, his mind unlocks it within just by "evolving" internally through the understanding. Everyone else died due to him either removing the brain while studying it, or just them dying of blood loss.

Apparently Claire suffered nerve damage that her body didn't repair though. Or its just a natural evolution of her ability, similar to the aging thing and Matt's furthering of his own abilities. Perhaps Peter's shapeshifting is an evolution of regeneration as well. But my theory on the Claire thing is that since its based around adrenalyne and the body being heightened in senses, either she had a hormone get leaked and lost or something while being scanned, or its due to her now extreme apathy and depression that she's suffering from the ordeal. Being so depressed, she's suppressing part of her own ability through simply not conciously caring.

I obviously can not wait for episode three. I'm off every Monday now.
