November 30th, 2020 12:45 amI play Sylar from early Season 3. Tl;dr: Cured of the Shanti Virus, he's acquired Claire's Rapid Cellular Regeneration, Elle's Electricity, West's Flight (optional), and still possesses Intuitive Aptitude & Telekinesis from before. I fudge the timelines a little, but generally he is pre-capture at Primatech, pre-Petrelli weirdness.
To me this was "peak Sylar" before all the ridiculous, nonsensical, character-destroying, convoluted bullshit storylines. On an IC level, I chose this spot because he's not completely overpowered. No atomic bomb abilities, no melting objects, superhearing, lie detection, or shapeshifting. With the abilities he has, he's effectively a squishy wizard: nullify his powers**, and he goes down in .02 seconds during an actual fist fight.
His powers aren't set in stone, either. I'm happy to play from an earlier canon point, prior to acquiring rapid healing/electricity/flight, so he has only Intuitive Aptitude & Telekinesis. It's meme/psl land, we can do whatever we want. I even like the idea of an Eclipse removing abilities for a short while.
**Drug his mind and most all his powers will be dulled immediately. Put his feet in water and there goes electrokinesis (he can still use it, but it'd cause immense pain to himself). While he can't die, a glass shard in the back of his head is an instant KO.
