If infact he has an ability that is.

He does look really rough, I hope thats makeup – Otherwise Glover’s expiration date doesn’t seem too far off :E

Brill actor though, can’t wait!

I hope his ability is mitosis (cloning himself)
How awesome would that be? And it’s one of the very few awesome abilities from the comics that they havn’t used yet.

They have used cloning in the graphic novels… i doubt they’d use cloning in the actual show because it is far too hard to make “clones” look real on screen, the preparation into it and the amount of work from the actor to do several different scenes which they will compile into one scene

my guess is sylars gonna go all gun ho on him and try to kick his ass when he first see’s him and papa gray is gonna put him in his place with his own ability. oh and then peter jumps in and says the world is gonna end.

i think that samson gray has the same abilities as sylar or similar abilities. I think he had the hunger and he went on his journey hunting other people’s abilities and it took a toll on his body and thats why he looks so warn out. It took him forever to control that hunger. that is why when they give a description of why john glover was cast, they say that Sylar finds out something about his father and doesn’t want to go down the same path.

Sylar is going to fight the hunger, but in a bad ass sylar way. Not the I love my mom and dad i feel bad for people way. He’s going to learn how to steal abilities and kill with out the hunger controlling him.

This is my opinion.

  Do you think Samson might have Linda Travera’s ability from the comcis? She takes people abilities and kills them simultaniously (bit like sylar but more ‘neat’)

    I think it will be different, but you never know!

  Yeah but what about the healing part??? Like Adam, he lives over hundred years and he never age. So Samson shouldn’t be old??

    Well not exactly. Sylar has the immortal anti-aging healing power like Adam because he got it from Claire. Mr Gray, from what we’ve seen in the 3/2 episode, can cut people’s heads open like Sylar. Other than that, we (as of right now) have no way of knowing if he can take other abilities. Either way, unless Mr Gray killed someone like Adam or Claire, he shouldn’t have that capability.

OMGLOLSYLAR – nice theory .. sounds promising .. i too think something along those lines .. i think we’ll find out that sylars dad killed his mom or something crazy like that .. then thats when he’ll try to kill him and daddy grey will put grey jr in his place .. lol .. i dont care if they become best-friends or worst enemies .. just make it interesting

  I agree I think his theory is the most likely to be true.
  I’ve been waiting since about half way through season one to see who Sylars father is. I really hope he’s the legend I’ve got him built up to be! =D

Off topic abit, but I’ve been thinking about Peters new ability, and thinking its plausible that its the early stages of Arthurs ability, except Peter can “chose” to take or leave the ability, given his personality its “leave teh ability” by default.

Think about it, the only difference really is that Arthur could habour several at once.

Imagine if the day comes where Peter steals Sylars abilities, pwnt!

Thinking about everyones abilities, many have “stages” – Matts for instance, and Daphne’s (she could walk, then run, then run very fast – so she states)

Anyway, going by that Peters new ability wont suck ass

  why would peter need sylar’s ability?
  
  sylar’s power technically is the hunger to get more power so he kills for it.. peter just get them right away..
  
  but in season 4 peter sucks.. and sylar is this awesome all too powerful being..

    Well remember Peter says that he can only carry one power at a time… i mean he touch people to aborb power. What if he touch Sylar and have all in one power?? That could be somthing!!
