[[Phill]]

His origional power is what he used to kill the first victim (who had the telekinesis IIRC).

He is able to work out machines, both mechanical and biological (essentially the brain is a biological computer of massive complexity) and he is able to somehow integrate that into his own brain.

There is an episode coming up which gives more backstory on Sylar, so hopefully it will be explained more.

I think its a given that he is able to use super hearing and telekinesis together, as that is the only way he could have know where Peter was in the fight.

Also, it is merely a theory that Peter cannot use more than one power at once. The lack of evidence to the contrary is not evidence of confirmation.

Edit: If he can only use one power, he is gonna have a hard time beating Sylar if the anticipated battle between the two commences. He cant hide and fight (hell, he cant even hide) and the telekinesis would almost cancel itself out, BUT Sylar has way more practice at it. Thats not to mention whatever powers Sylar has picked up along the way that we dont know about yet (he can fake his own death OR he can revive himself after death for a good example).

A good question is also this. If Sylar has the waitress girl's super memory, how much of the list will he remember? Surely it will be more than the nothing it appears to be (his only lead was the clipping about the painter dude).
