Canon Darth Sidious Respect Thread

By americanspeeddemon July 26, 2016 8 Comments

Palpatine is a powerful sith lord. He was able to destroy the jedi and bring the sith to power in the universe. Sidious might be the most powerful, wisest and most manipulative person in Canon Star Wars.

Force Power and Accolades

Maul isn't nearly as powerful as Darth Sidious

Yeah, I think that’s pretty literal at that point. I think that what you understand about Maul is that he is still not nearly as powerful as Sidious.

-- Dave Filoni (Death Watch/Darth Maul Arc & Casualties Along the Way)

Sidious' mere holographic presence radiates enough power for Ventress to regard him as more steeped in the dark side than Vos and possibly even Dooku had ever been:

"Darth Tyranus," intoned Count Dooku's Master. Even though he wasn't physically present, the simple sound of his voice - rasping, papery, somehow, like the rustling of ancient parchment - sent a shiver through Ventress. This man was steeped in the dark side of the Force, saturated with it, in a way that she was certain Vos, perhaps even Dooku, had never been.

-- Dark Disciple

Mother Talzin would become the most powerful being in the galaxy after defeating Sidious, indicating that Palpatine held the title

By restoring Maul’s powers, Talzin hoped to defeat Sidious and become the most powerful being in the galaxy.

-- Databank: Mother Talzin

Darth Sidious proves too strong for Yoda to defeat, overwhelming him with the power of the dark side:

The Jedi Master and the Sith Lord dueled in the Senate chamber, but Sidious was too strong for Yoda to defeat.

-- Databank: Coruscant History Gallery

Palpatine performs equally if not superior to Vader while using only a fraction of his power.

Vader looked from his Master to the dark mouth of the mine inside of which Drua and the rest of the villagers had fled. He felt the Emperor's eyes on him, the intensity of the gaze, the weight of his expectations, and Vader knew that the day's events had been only half about depleting a rebel movement before it could grow. They had also, as Vader had suspected, been about testing him, forcing him to face the ghosts of his past and exorcise them forever and fully. He saw that more clearly now; saw, too, that his Master was right to administer the test. It also explained why his Master had shown so little of his true power throughout the day. Perhaps he'd wanted Vader to rely on himself to overcome the challenges they'd faced. Or perhaps he'd wanted to seem weaker than he was, to draw out any treacherous ambitions Vader may have held.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Physical Attributes

He moves with preternatural speed, and kills over a dozen Lyleks:

Vader turned and looked down to the floor below, where his Master, surrounded by a dozen or more lyleks, was spinning, whirling, leaping, his lightsaber moving so fast it blurred. He looked tiny amid their bulk but moved with preternatural speed, his blade stabbing and slashing and severing. He was laughing, the familiar cackle somehow audible above the sounds of the horde.

-- Lords of the Sith

Kills jedi masters and council members Saesee Tinn and Agen Kolar before they could block even a single attack

Kicks Savage pretty far away

Overpowers an enraged Maul

Tanks hits from Savage Opress and an enraged Maul

Telekinesis

Using Immovability to hold to his seat:

“Brace yourselves, my lords,” came the shuttle pilot’s voice over the comm. He tried to sound calm, but tension tightened his words.
The blast wave slammed into the side of the shuttle, knocking it sidewise, carrying it along for tens of kilometers, and causing it to list sharply. Vader and the Emperor, seated, used the Force to hold their position, but the four members of the Royal Guard were thrown hard against the bulkhead. A wall-mounted comp station spit sparks. An alarm rang. The cabin lights blinked, browned, and failed, casting the cabin in darkness and silencing the alarm. In the quiet, Vader’s breathing was the only sound.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Collapsing trees on a bunch of Lyleks, killing them:

Vader spared a glance back to see that two score lyleks at least had burst out of the trees, a clicking wall of spiked exoskeletons, tentacles, and mammoth jaws. More followed, more, the horde boiling out of the trees. They clambered over one another in their hunger, a tangle of limbs and claws and clicks.
The creatures saw them right away, of course, and uttered a collective hiss and eager clicking. Their thick limbs and great weight threw up chunks of soil and dirt as they lumbered across the clearing. The four men reached the tree line on the opposite side of the clearing and plunged once more into the tangle of trunks and roots.
“Look for a cliff or a tunnel,” Vader said calmly. “A place where we can channel their attack.”
“They’re closing!” Deez cried, looking back. He fired behind him with his blaster rifle. “Shots bounce off the carapaces!”
The Emperor gestured with a free hand, using the Force to topple trees. They fell into the horde, crushing lyleks, knocking down other trees that crushed still more. The survivors clambered over the dead without pausing, continuing their frenetic pursuit.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Collapsing a tunnel's ceiling:

The Emperor gestured casually, and the tunnel’s ceiling came down in a shower of rock and dirt. The sound of frustrated hisses and roars carried through the rubble. The four men stood in the light of Vader’s lightsaber. He deactivated it, casting them in darkness. The captain turned on his helmet lights.

-- Lords Of The Sith

He hurls three Lyleks into a wall, cracking their exoskeleton and killing them:

At the same time, his Master unleashed a destructive wave of power that cast three of the huge creatures backward and into the wall, cracking exoskeletons and leaving them broken, twitching, dying.

-- Lords Of The Sith

He blasts away four Lyleks, shattering their bodies:

A blast of power from somewhere under the throng of creatures drove four lyleks ten meters into the air, their bodies shattered by the force of the impact, limbs and tentacles showering down in a macabre rain. His Master stood in the center of the circle of surviving lyleks, his hair mussed, his robe torn, his lightsaber in hand, but otherwise seemingly unharmed.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Vader and Palpatine shatter several Lyleks, and blast others hard against the walls:

As if on command, the lyleks surged toward them from all sides. As one, Vader and his Master channeled the Force and unleashed blasts of power that slammed into the advancing creatures, shattering several and casting six or seven hard against the walls. Still the lyleks came on, chittering and grasping and slashing.

-- Lords of the Sith

Casually chokes two Mandalorians

Holds Maul and Savage against a wall. They couldn't escape until he let them.

Pulls Maul and Savage off a Balcony

Incapacitates Maul with a force push

Throws Savage

Ragdolls Maul

Chokes Count Dooku from across the galaxy

Uses the force to unlock Ezra's cuffs from across the galaxy

Ragdolls both Rey and Ben Solo

Tosses Ben Solo hard enough that it breaks stone

Force Lightning

Uses force lighting to force Talzin out of Dooku's body

Matches Mother Talzin's Force Lightning with his own.

Uses lightning to kill people inside a ship

Engines exploded into flame and spit smoke. His Master raised his hands, forming one into a claw emitting jagged bolts of Force lightning that connected him for a moment to the ship. Vader imagined the interior of the craft lit up with the bolts of his Master’s power, the pilots screaming and writhing in pain as the dark side seared their flesh.

-- Lords of the Sith

Kills two Lyleks with Force lightning:

Beside Vader, his Master gestured with both hands and jagged lines of Force lightning shot forth, striking two of the foremost lyleks, lifting the creatures from the ground and driving them backward, tumbling, hissing, screaming in agony, dying.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Tortures Maul with Force Lightning

Darth Sidious Knocks out Yoda with Force Lightning

Overpowers Vader's defense and forces him onto his knees.

Sidious tortures Luke. His lightning short circuits Vader's suit and gravely injures him.

Disables the Resistance Fleet with his lightning

Lightning is redirected with enough force to disintegrate him and send out a shockwave that destroys the rest of the throneroom

Telepathy

He seems to read Vader's mind

Or maybe self-delusion was part of the training a Master instilled in an apprentice.
“Your thoughts are troubled, my friend,” the Emperor said, his voice loud in the quiet. The Emperor often referred to him as a friend, and perhaps they were friends, in some sense, though Vader saw purpose in the use of the term. He thought his Master used a term he might use with a peer to emphasize that Master and apprentice were not, in fact, peers.
“No, my Master. Not troubled.”
The Emperor chuckled, the sound coming out a cackle. “?‘Troubled’ perhaps misstates the matter. Your thoughts are on violence.”
He turned in his throne to glance back at Vader, and his eyes burned out of the shadowed recesses of his hood.
“You ponder the nature of strength, do you not?”
Vader never lied to his Master. And he understood that his Master asked questions only with great forethought, so that the answer revealed more than the words. “I do.”
The Emperor turned away, showing his back to Vader, itself a calculated gesture. “Share your thoughts, my apprentice.”
Vader did not hesitate. “I was thinking of the lessons you once taught me about the relationship of a Sith Master to his apprentice.”
“And?” his Master asked.
Vader dropped to a knee and bowed his head. “And I perceive strength all around me, my Master.”
“Good,” the Emperor said. “Very good.”
The moment having passed, Vader rose and stood station behind his Master.

-- Lords Of The Sith

Takes over a Twi'lek's mind to the extent that she doesn't even flinch when he tries to kill her

“Come here, girl,” the Emperor said, putting the power of the Force into his command.
Unable to resist, the girl walked out of the tree line until she stood, small and vulnerable, before him.
With preternatural speed the Emperor drew, ignited, and slashed at the girl with his lightsaber, but Vader had sensed his Master’s intent and moved with greater speed, igniting his own blade and intercepting his Master’s blow before it could land.
The girl, under the sway of the Emperor’s power, seemed scarcely to notice the danger. She simply stood there, staring vacantly, her face aglow in the red light of the crossed blades.

-- Lords of the Sith

Uses Telepathy on Luke from across the galaxy

Forces a vision onto Kylo Ren which he struggles to overcome

The creature raised his ruined hand; Kylo sensed him drawing on the Force, but before he could react, his surroundings disappeared as if into a fog, and a vision filled their place.
---
With tremendous effort, Kylo thrust the vision aside. Everything he’d seen would be his.

Senses Maul after he kills Duchess Satine

Throughout this time, Maul dueled Obi-Wan Kenobi on numerous occasions, and in an act of pure hatred, killed Obi-Wan’s former love, Duchess Satine Kryze. His revenge would prove double-edged, however, as the act created a dark side ripple sensed by his former Master, Darth Sidious.

The Grand Inquisitor is one of Darth Vader's personally trained Inquisitors tasked with converting or destroying force sensitive children and eliminating any Jedi who could possibly train them. The Inquisitor is highly skilled, dangerous and above all intelligent.

Accolades

The Inquisitor is considered far more powerful than Kanan and Ezra when he is sent to capture them.

Responding to reports of a Jedi on Lothal, the Inquisitor relentlessly pursued Kanan Jarrus and his Padawan Ezra Bridger. The Inquisitor was far more powerful than either, yet both repeatedly escaped him. But that only made for a more interesting challenge.

Force Sense

The Inquisitor sense Kanan Jarrus, and Ezra Bridger are still in his grasp

The Inquisitor did not turn to acknowledge Konstantine. "I still sense the Jedi and his Padawan within my grasp."

-- Ezra's Duel with Danger

The Inquisitor feels Kanan Jarrus, and Ezra Bridger in the Force

The Inquisitor countermanded Admiral Konstantine's orders to deploy an entire battalion to asteroid PM-1203. Mere stormtroopers weren't going to catch these rebels. The troopers had failed many times before. The Inquisitor would go himself.
He stood in the cockpit of the shuttle and watched the descent toward an abandoned clone trooper base. The two presences inside couldn't hide themselves from him. One burned bright, like a torch; the other less so, but growing in intensity, like a candle that had just been lit.
The Jedi and his Padawan were in there. He could feel them.

-- Ezra's Duel with Danger

The Inquisitor senses the presence of the fyrnocks

The Inquisitor smirked. This would be the last peace these two would ever have.
The troopers went to apprehend them, but the Inquisitor hung back, alarmed. "Wait. I sense-"
The troopers' glowlamps swept high. Perched above and behind the rebels were snarling, purple-skinned creatures with razorback fins and fangs like sharpened stalactites.

-- Ezra's Duel with Danger

The Inquisitor senses Kanan Jarrus is trying to stall him

The Inquisitor sensed that the Jedi was trying to stall while his Padawan directed the creatures against the stormtroopers. Their plan would not work. The Inquisitor deflected another pitiful thrust, then vented his anger into the Force, tossing the human back into his ship. The impact echoed throughout the hangar and the Jedi dropped his lightsaber. Its blade died as its wielder crumpled to the ground.

-- Ezra's Duel with Danger

Force Defense

The Inquisitor brushes off an attack from Ezra.

Ezra reached out with his hand and focused with his mind, urging the Force to thrust the Inquisitor back into the cell.
The Inquisitor swatted off the attack as if it were a gentle breeze. "You have some natural talent, but your training," he said, looking at Kanan, "is almost worse than no training at all."

-- Droids in Distress

Skill

The Inquisitor is incredibly skilled. Having mastered all forms of lightsaber combat.

The Jedi Order recognizes seven forms of lightsaber combat. The Inquisitor has learned to use-and counter-all of them!

-- Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About Star Wars

He is so skilled with these forms he can examine and identify a Jedi's combat style in seconds sometimes even being able to identify who their master was.

10.6 the time it takes the Inquisitor to identify a Jedi's fighting style in seconds

-- Absolutely Everything You Need To Know About Star Wars

Skilled at exploit the weaknesses of his opponents.

Using the knowledge contained in the archives of the Jedi Temple (now the Imperial Palace), he equipped himself with information allowing him to exploit the weaknesses of any opponent he could possibly encounter.

He was personally trained by Darth Vader and he trained the other Inquisitors.

The Inquisitor was able to defeat Jedi Master Jocasta Nu in saber combat before his training with Vader.

The Inquisitor was able to defeat Kanan the first three times they fought even with Ezra's help. Only noticing Kanan's improvement in their third fight.

He was finally beaten by Kanan in their last duel though Kanan recieved a force amp after thinking Ezra had died.

Even after his death the spirit of the Grand Inquisitor was used by Darth Vader to guard a Jedi temple from those who would seek its secret. Even while dead he was still skilled enough to overwhelm ESB Luke Skywalker in saber combat though he ultimately lost due to Luke superior force power.

Equipment

The Grand Inquisitor's lightsaber is designed to quickly and efficiently kill Jedi.

The lightsaber is designed pragmatically to hasten confrontation and and extinguish life with absolute efficiency. In the face of the the Grand Inquisitor's unorthodox technique, inexperienced Jedi become apprehensive, presenting the Grand Inquisitor with the perfect opportunity to strike.

-- Ultimate Star Wars New Edition

Lightsabers have multiple modes.

Each Inquisitor's lightsaber functions in several modes. In crescent mode, the single bladed lightsaber is wielded in a standard manner. In disk mode, a second blade is drawn, allowing broader lightsaber strokes, ideal for battling multiple combatants simultaneously. Both blades are capable of spinning around the disk by detaching from the central handle, forming an impressive wall of red lightsaber energy.

Enhanced Physicals

Kanan like all Jedi is able to increase his physical abilities above what is considered humanly possible.

Hera after her first mission with Kanan thought that he seemed able to perform even better than he had even though she also said he was in the edge of human potential.

She understood that Jedi abilities weren’t some suit of superpowered armor that someone could leave at home, or abandon in a garbage can. The Force influenced and enhanced every action of a person touched with it, whether they were conscious of it or not.
And no one but a Jedi could do the things she had seen Kanan do. The brawl in Shaketown, the escape on the hoverbus, the battle with Vidian – in each, she’d seen a man acting at the outer edge of human performance. And, in all cases, she’d somehow thought him capable of doing even more. It seemed as if he’d identified a line that he would not cross, and had stuck to it.

-Star Wars: A New Dawn

Agility

Kanan has enhanced jumps.

Without thinking, he leapt.
Leapt, as he hadn’t in nearly a decade, farther than any mortal normally could.

Speed

Kanan creates after images with his lightsaber.

Deflects Fire from a Platoon of Stormtroopers

"Standing in the middle of the battlefield, with a hundred blasters pointed at him, Kanan opened himself fully to the Force.
He expected it to flood through him like a dam being released, as it had been a long time since he had completely freed himself to its light. He felt nothing of the kind. Instead, his heart calmed and his mind eased. The relief that came was subtle, subdued, like a gentle breeze that cooled on a hot day. A touch, a whisper, a sense of peace. He began to relax.
A web appeared before him, invisible but perceptible, linking all the beings on the battlefield to him, his life, his actions, his...destiny. Future and past events came to him in glimpses and sensations, none he understood, other than that he played a part in them-if he wanted. He could just as easily walk away and refuse.
The Masters at the Temple had often lectured about accepting your destiny. To Kanan, destiny had seemed a fixed matter. Its very nature implied that your future was defined, that you were a puppet acting out choices that had already been made for you. Yet upon seeing the web, how it moved and twirled and spun based on an infinite array of actions, Kanan realized he'd been wrong. Destiny wasn't a fixed matter. Destiny was a choice, a confidence, a belief. Perhaps all the Masters had meant was that by accepting your destiny you accepted yourself.
His friends on the Ghost had accepted themselves, while Kanan had been the one who had not. He'd hidden behind the lie that if he revealed himself, he'd put them all in grave danger. But they were already in danger, going toe-to-toe with the Empire. His friends gave their all to the fight, unafraid of what they might have to sacrifice. They needed Kanan to do the same. He couldn't fear what the Empire might do to him or them. The best way for him to protect their lives was to employ all the talents and skills at his disposal.
It was to use the Force.
Though he hadn't always been one with the Force, the Force had always been with him. He couldn't run away from it. He couldn't deny it any longer. He couldn't deny himself from himself.
Nor would the Imperial agent let him. "All troopers," Kallus said. "Focus your fire on...the Jedi."
Kanan Jarrus raised his lightsaber in salute. A Jedi he had been. A Jedi he would be.
"Whoa," gasped Ezra.
Alone in the middle of the battlefield, Kanan Jarrus ducked, dodged, and deflected the blaster storm directed at him. He seemed to know when and from where each bolt was coming, jumping in the air at the right moment, curving his body to the perfect angle, or slashing his sword just in time. More than a few troopers crumpled, recipients of shots that Kanan deflected off his blade. Without even engaging in hand-to-hand combat, this one man-this Jedi-was holding off an entire platoon of stormtroopers."

-- The Rebellion Begins.

Able to Deflect Lasers while blind. Even deflecting blasts from multiple targets at once.

Strength

Tosses Ezra multiple feet into the air with one arm

Blade locks the 5th Brother

Blade locks with Darth Vader multiple times

Force Abilities

Force Concealment

Kanan cut himself off from the force while he was in hiding.

Telekinesis

Kanan is skilled in the use of telekinesis and uses it frequently even in combat.

He stopped a giant spinning fan.

And can use the force to disarm and throw stormtroopers

He was able to pin the Grand Inquisitor.

Uses a strong force push as a padawan

Destroys a Bacta Tank and recieves his lightsaber.

Uses the Force to stop Ezra

Kanan pushes back stormtroopers

With Ezra's help he deflects two Meteors

Catches and redirects a missile

He was powerful enough to stop a cave in.

Twisting faceup as he dropped, Kanan hit the ground. He looked up into the onrushing mass – and stopped it, with his mind.
It was an odd feeling, like putting on an old article of clothing. It was like the leap, something he had sworn never to do. Not in front of anyone, to be sure.
But now he had done it.
---
And then he let go. Let go with his mind, and listened as a mountain, denied, found the space where he had landed.

- Star Wars: A New Dawn

And catch a falling catwalk.

Kanan looked instead upward, waving with his hand –
– and suspending the giant catwalk in midair, centimeters from his and Hera’s heads.
She stared at it, dumbfounded – and then at him. Self-conscious, Kanan shoved at the air, pushing the levitated mass off to the side. It landed with a colossal crash.

- Star Wars: A New Dawn

Uses Force Stasis on a Stormtrooper before tossing him out of a window.

Kanan ragdolled Thrawn's highly skilled bodyguard Rukh

He also caught and manipulated a bridge.

Kanan was able to stop an at least building sized explosion and even temporarily hold it back and force push a ship a good distance.

Animal Control & Jedi Mind Trick

Kanan has demonstrated enough skill with a jedi mind trick to influence at least two people.

He can also manipulate animals, Kanan controls a pack of Animals.

With the help of his padawan Ezra he was able to control a pack of Fyrnocks.

Was able to resist a mind probe and a mind trick

Kanan uses the Force to add urgency to his voice.

Kanan glanced up to see the Phantom hovering at the top of the tower, its rear hatch opening. Sabine, Zeb, and Chopper sprang inside. But Ezra hesitated, staring down at Kanan, until laser fire from the troop transports forced him to go through the hatch.
The Inquisitor lunged with ferocious speed. Kanan managed to duck and grabbed his comm. "Spectre-Two, get out of here!"
As he continued to dodge and block, Hera's voice crackled over his comm: "Not an option, Kanan!"
"No time-go!" he shouted, leaping away from a would-be finishing blow.
The Phantom rocked in the sky, taking hit after hit from the troop transports' cannons. Kanan couldn't fight the Inquisitor and try to persuade his crewmates to leave at the same time. Pinned against the tower, deflecting the Inquisitor's strokes, he yelled his best friend's name-"Hera!"-adding urgency through the Force.
Though the Phantom swayed in the air for a moment, Hera did as he requested. The hatch closed, and the craft turned away from the tower, braving enemy fire to shoot off into the night.

-- Battle to the End

Force Sense

Able to deflect attacks while blindfolded

Was able to outmaneuver Maul after being blinded.

Lightsaber Skill and Notable fights

Kanan has training in Form III, V, Jar' kai and presumably like all jedi Form I.

Towards the beginning of the show however he favored form III over all others as it was his master specialty. He wasn't very skilled in saber combat being easily bested by the sith inquisitor even with Ezra's help.

Over the course of the series he improved more and more coming closer to the inquisitor's level with each passing fight.

By their third duel he had improved enough to be noticeable to his opponent.

Finally in their fourth duel Kanan was able to defeat the Inquisitor with Jar' Kai after tapping into the force. Note he had been tortured previously.

Kanan activated the blade and lunged. The Inquisitor repelled the blow, and they began to duel once again. Adrenaline surged through Kanan's muscles, pulling him away from exhaustion. He forgot about the pain in his body and focused on the fight.

--Battle to the End

Kanan was able to save Ezra from Darth Vader and Survived the encounter himself. (It should be noted Vader was most likely holding back.)

Kanan is able to fight the 7th Sister

Kanan was able to out duel the 8th Brother and critically damage his lightsaber which ultimately led to his death.

Kills a Kage warrior and Separatist colonel as a child

Other Skills and Abilities

Kanan is a fair shot and pilot.

He was able to out maneuver Republic ships piloted by clone troopers.

And as a child easily overpower the space criminal Janus Kasmir

He was able to take out multiple thugs even aim dodging multiple blaster shots.

Oneness

Kanan has shown to possess a remarkable ability to gain increased ability through his relationship with the force. While this is partially out of his control it is also an active choice to gain an increased confidence in the force and in his own ability. All of Kanan's moments of increased ability coincide with a moment of character development and balance.

I like to believe that you don’t use the Force. The Force uses you. We see this time and time again throughout the Star Wars saga, from Luke Skywalker allowing the Force to guide his proton torpedoes in A New Hope to Chirrut Îmwe letting the Force flow through him to take down a squad of Jedha stormtroopers in Rogue One.
In “Twilight of the Apprentice” we see it with a newly blind Kanan as he allows himself to be a vessel for the Force, which leads him to swiftly defeat Maul, a far more experienced opponent with the advantage of sight. The best of those who touch the Force allow themselves to be subject to it. Kanan Jarrus joins their ranks here.

Sylar Respect Thread

By americanspeeddemon September 26, 2015 3 Comments

Sylar is one of the best and most powerful original TV villains in semi recent memory. It's a shame he hasn't had a respect thread but I'll rectify that now.

Powers

Empathetic Mimicry

Sylar's original power appears to be some type of empathetic mimicry. This ability allows Sylar to absorb the abilities of people by understanding them. This is hard for Sylar however and he prefers to copy abilities with his Intuitive aptitude. However this ability seems to be a better version of power copying as abilities copied with this are more closely tied to one's DNA.

Powers copied this way:

Intuitive Aptitude
Telekinesis
Electrokinesis

Intuitive Aptitude

This is the ability to discern how things work. Sylar originally used this ability to fix watches yet can also use this to find out how powers work. Sylar does this by cutting open the victim's skull and examining their brain. This typically leads to the victims death but people with healing factors may live through this. Additionally Sylar after using this ability typically learns his abilities faster and to a greater efficiency than the original user.

Additionally this ability can be used to treat medical conditions and discern the future. The exact abilities of this ability are unknown but it can be assumed Sylar is able to gain knowledge of any system he needs to "fix".

Telekinesis

Sylar is a very skilled telekinetic. He is powerful enough to flip vehicles casually and precise enough to destroy an aneurysm in someone's brain without hurting them.

Sylar pins a man to the floor with paintbrushes.

Sylar casually flips a truck.

A drugged sylar catches a bullet with telekinesis

Throws multiple pieces of glass.

Kills a man with bottles

Sylar is able to use his powers even in a cell where he is supposed to be powerless.

While choking Peter Sylar was able to catch and return bullets.

Here Sylar catches a bullet aimed at someone else

Lastly Sylar's signature is cutting a person's head open.

Pre-Shanti Virus

Sylar has had multiple power sets over the course of the show. The first season 1 power set is as follows.

Shattering

This is the ability to make objects explode. This ability has only ever been used on glass but beware if your wearing glasses.

Freezing

Sylar has the ability to generate intense cold.

Sylar freezes a sword causing it to break. (not shown here)

Sylar has been shown to freeze whole people solid.

Additionally Sylar can freeze from a short distance.

Melting

Sylar has the ability to cause objects to break down into a liquid state. This ability has only been used on inorganic objects and has never been used in battle.

Enhanced Hearing

Sylar can hear way better than a normal human. He has been able to eavesdrop on conversations from across busy streets, hear and later identify heartbeats, and can hear changes in emotion.

Precognition

Sylar has the ability to see and paint the future.

Induced Radioactivity

Sylar can control and release radiation and nuclear energy. Using this one can burn people to the bone with a touch, burn through metal, or destroy entire cities.

Sylar can generate small energy balls in his palms.

Sylar blows up the city of Costa Verde killing 200,000 people.

Sylar also had a perfect memory at some point but this is affected by a lot of timey wimey shenanigans.

New Power Set

After becoming infected with a disease known as the Shanti Virus Sylar lost all his powers except Telekinesis, empathetic mimicry, and intuitive aptitude. He has since gone on the hunt gathering many more powers.

Rapid Cellular Regeneration

Sylar has now gained the ability to heal from nearly any injury this makes him practically indestructible and functionally immortal. People with this ability have healed from point blank nuclear explosions, limb removal, extreme burns, broken bones and nearly any other wound. Yet this isn't perfect it has been said that decapitation can kill someone with this power set permanently. Additionally everyone of these people have a spot in the back of their head that shuts them down if something is jammed in there and not removed.

Sylar has regenerated from having his neck broken.

Tanks tasers easily.

Sylar tanks bullets

Sylar also healed from being turned into two face.

Alchemy

This is the ability to turn anything he touches into gold.

The man he stole this ability from turned an enemy into gold and melted him down.

Sylar demonstrates this power by turning a gun into gold.

Clairsentience

Sylar is able to see the history behind any object he touches. He uses this power to figure out about a person's life. This can be linked with his empathetic mimicry to give himself an evo's ability by experiencing their lives. This ability isn't automatic and takes time, yet it is also powerful and has allowed him to copy a lifetime's worth of memories in months.

Sound Manipulation

Sylar can manipulate the sound of his voice to create large sonic attacks. Sylar has used this ability once to kill somone by skinning them alive.

This ability has aslo been used to destroy someone's skull.

And throw multiple people.

Electrical Manipulation

Sylar can generate electricity from his body and use it as a weapon. Because this ability was absorbed with empathetic mimicry Sylar does not start with full control of it.

Sylar can shoot blasts of electricity.

He can use this to stun, kill, or incinerate his opponents.

Lie Detection

Sylar has the ability to detect any lie told towards him. This ability is not however able to distinguish if someone thinks something to be true or knows it.

Imprinting

Sylar can write without a pencil or pen. This is above even Superman's abilities.

Shapeshifting

Sylar has the ability to take on the shape of anyone. This ability also affects his internal body he has been shown to generate additional teeth as well as have the ability to move his weak point from the back of his neck to some unknown spot.

Here he shapeshifts into a teenage girl.

And into his boss.

Disintegration

Sylar can cause objects to break apart.

Flight

Sylar while appearing as someone else flies. He is at least sonic speeds.

Empathy

Sylar can sense ones fears, hopes, and desires.

Additional Abilities

In one possible future Sylar had gained even more abilities.

Illusions

Sylar could cast illusions that could fool people's senses and even cameras.

Intangibility

Sylar has shown the ability to phase through objects.

Fights

Vs Peter Petrelli many, many times.

Greatest fight we never saw

Here he fights dang near everyone.

Sylar has two more fight with Peter one without powers in season 4 and one where he fights Nathan and Peter in season 3. Here is a video of most of his victims.

Okay here it is hope you liked it. This was probably my hardest post ever so comments would be greatly appreciated.
