Sylar - How does he keep getting away


Just a quick post, but I deep thinking, how does Sylar keep getting away?

In season one, he got away even after he was shot by Noah Bennet. The man was shot, yet was still able to get away from the Haitian who tried to run him down. This is the same Haitian who looked pretty athletic chasing down Peter a few weeks ago and someone who could use his powers to make sure Sylar couldn't use any of his to get away.

Then Sylar miraculously escapes Kirby Plaza after being run through with a sword by Hiro. In this case, I could accept the fact that he was probably dragged away by someone interested in saving him, so I'll give a pass here.

But just this past week, how did he manage to get away again? He was hit by a lightning bold delivered by Elle and was thrown through a glass door. I've known someone who has gone through a glass door. You don't just get up and run. Yet somehow Sylar not only is able to get up, but he is able to run away before Elle can get within distance to throw another bolt at him.

Maybe this is one of Sylar's hidden powers. Maybe he has the ability to make miraculous get aways.

maybe he should have been called Timex instead of Sylar. He takes a lickin' but keeps on tickin'.

What about when Matt shot him lke 4times to save the girl police officer? He doesn't have the ability to fly so how did he get away in the blink of an eye?

Dreamsparkle, welcome. Funny you mention that. I watched the first season of Heroes again last week, and had forgotten about this scene until I saw it again.

The scene actually really bothered me because Sylar got shot, and yet somehow survived, got up, and flew away. Flying you can say he used TK, but come on. 4 bullets to the chest. That had to kill him.
