"When evolution selects its agents, it does so at a cost. It makes demands in exchange for singularity, and you may be asked to do something against your very nature. Suddenly, the change in your life that should have been wonderful comes as a betrayal. It may seem cruel, but the goal is nothing short of self-preservation, survival."
Heroes: One Giant Leap Chapter

Our first encounter with this Hero, although I would hardly call him a Hero, he was just another worker who was under-paid, under-trodden, forgotten and living with his mother. He worked as a watch repairer, after discovering he had the knack to find out what made things 'tick' so speak. He had always dreamed of being "special" and felt he never got the chance to shine.
He lived with his adopted mother (technically his auntie, his uncle abandoning them both when Gabriel was only young), who had a very unhealthy obsession with Snow Globes.

Having the power of intuitive aptitude, Sylar discovers he is able to see how abilities work in other "Evolved People" and uses that to gain more power for himself, unaware that there is now a "hunger" that is driving him forward. The FBI has classed Sylar as a serial killer. His victims have their heads sliced open horizontally at the center of their skull and their brain removed.
Sylar's activities have now been notified to The Company who are the hunt for him, however he is proving a very elusive prey and with each victim he gains more power and thus able to escape easier and quicker.

Mohinder Suresh, (a hero for a later date), discovers that Sylar and his father Chandra Suresh are somehow connected and decides he want to delve deeper. He discovers, to his horror, that his father has labeled Sylar as "Patient Zero" and that he helped him enhance and fine tune his ability. However Chandra saw the evil and thirst for power in Sylar and gave up on him. Sylar on the other hand was not one to take rejection lightly and so he hunted down one of chandra's other "subjects" (Brian Davis) and killed him thus gaining the power of Telekinesis

Heroes - Character Profiles

I thought as Season 3 of Heroes is shortly coming to an end in Britain, and Season 4 is ending in America, I would do some character profiles of the Heroes and the supporting cast.

In each post I will go through the character, informing as to who plays them, their gift etc and what role they play in the grand scheme of things. Of course I will try not to give anything away for those who haven't seen Heroes yet. Btw: If you haven't seen any episode of Heroes I highly suggest you do. It is by far the best sci-program that is on Television to date.

Anyways, this was just a brief introduction to what I will be doing and also I will be putting up a voting section so you can vote for your Most Favorite Hero and of course your Most Hated Hero.

Thanks for reading and I will catch you in the next posting.
The first hero that I will be profiling will the be all powerful Sylar

Heroes Coming To An End

Well we all knew it had to happen. Another series of the excellent show Heroes is about to come to an end. If you live in the UK (like I do), then you will know that we have two more chapters left of this season until the finish.

Sylar has gained incredible power over the last few episodes and has now become a force to be reckoned with. Not only that but he seems to be playing both sides and this makes for a very compelling watch. I have been keen on the "Dark Side" powers, but Zachary Quinto portrays the dark character to a T. I felt a little miffed though when he killed Elle and was rather hoping they would broaden that synopsis out a bit more.

The Bennets household is not doing so well either. First Claire is put under house arrest, not only that but she finds out that she has to help her fated enemy Eric Doyle.

As you can gather, I am seriously addicted to this show and will be rooting for Series to be shown on the BBC. I know in America that Season 4 is about to finish airing, but I can not wait to see that.

If like me you love the sci-fi program, Heroes, then please look below to purchase Series 1, 2 and 3 from Amazon.
