SPOILERS IN INTRO

Why are there spoilers in the intro? I was quite annoyed to read a snippet of it (possible spoiler alert: basically, what happens to Sylar by the end). Can someone edit that? Basic sentence or two for such an unimportant article, anyway.

If you look up information on a topic don't be surprised to FIND INFORMATION ON THAT TOPIC. Wikipedia does not support spoilers. Padillah (talk) 14:13, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you; there shouldn't be spoilers in the introductory paragraph. It's fine for the rest of the article to contain information, but only the basic facts about Sylar should be mentioned in the beginning.

Article is FAR too long

This article is dis-proportionally long for the 'importance' of the subject matter. A purging is in order... 72.218.136.173 (talk) 16:38, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

@72.218.136.173 14 years later it's still way too long 66.41.166.252 (talk) 08:57, 2 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Mrs. Gray

I know she was disturbed and all, but why did Gabriel/Sylar keep on saying that his mother was a monster who tried to kill him. I thought it was an accident and all. (JoeLoeb (talk) 23:26, 28 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Him killing her was an accident (although he now claims he meant to do it). She intended to kill him, though. Ophois (talk) 23:56, 28 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would be freaked out if my son was deranged and hurling snow globes around me. Gabriel probably says he meant to do it to make him seem more psychotic or to intimidate someone like Danko. (JoeLoeb (talk) 00:31, 29 April 2009 (UTC))[reply]

Played by stunt doubles?

I suspect that statement that "Prior to Quinto's first appearance in the episode "Seven Minutes to Midnight", the role of Sylar is played by stunt doubles" is inaccurate, as someone could only be Zachary Quinto's stunt double for heroes after Zachary Quinto had been cast for Heroes. If Sylar was consistently played by stunt men prior to Seven Minutes to Midnight, the article should state he was played by stunt men. If he was played by a combination of stunt men and extras, it should state he was played by stunt men and extras. If he was played solely by extras, it should state that he was played by extras. If Sylar was consistently played by a specific actor's stunt double, it should say whose stunt double played him. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 03:27, 24 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The BuddyTV source says stunt doubles, so that's what we have to say. U-Mos (talk) 10:51, 6 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

note at the bottom

Why is there a note at the bottom saying Hiro travelled back in time (Once Upon a Time in Texas) to stop Sylar getting Claire's ability. 1)He travelled to save Charlie 2)He did not attempt to stop nor did he stop Sylar getting Claire's ability in fact he made a deal with sylar and let sylar continue to do the event in Homecoming hence this note is completely useless and needs to be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.221.146.251 (talk) 20:20, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The note says Charlie, not Claire. Ω phois 21:08, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
