Hiro could find out when Sylar’s mother was born and kill him as a child, or kill her before she has Sylar (Gabriel). It’s The Terminator plot all over again, right?

Time manipulation is way too powerful compared to any other power. For just about anything, Hiro could have a do-over. Just keep trying until you get it right. I know he couldn’t always control where or when he would appear, but he was able to do it some times.

Teleportation is also a very great power compared to most of the other ones.

And he was much better at stopping time than time travel. He could have stopped time and killed Sylar any time they were in the same city, like when he failed to kill Sylar with the sword the first time. He used his powers to get out of that fight. Why didn’t he just stop time before entering the building?

He stopped time to fold all 1,000 origami birds for Charlie. He could have easily killed Sylar when time was frozen.

The only reason Claire was important was that if she gave Sylar regeneration powers, he would be almost impossible to stop. So all she had to do was go far away with the Haitan, and it would have been difficult for Sylar or anyone special to get to her using any special abilities. The Haitian counters abilities. That would have left Peter and the others to deal with Sylar, which they did. Claire actually played no real role in the final conflict, except wimp out.

1) What is Old lady Patrelli’s power?
2) What is Hiro’s father’s power?
3) Who is the “way worse” person Molly mentioned?

Here’s where I think they left things a little messy.

1) Why didn’t Sylar go after Hiro’s power. If Sylar could bend time and space, he would have been unstoppable. Well, except maybe in a fight with Peter.

2) Peter had met Hiro early in the season on the train. Wouldn’t he have Hiro’s powers, too. He should have had regeneration, invisibility, radioactivity-nuke, super hearing, Nicky’s speed and strength, etc. Add teleport, time freeza, and time travel, and it’s a blowout, no contest battle. In fact, if you went back and listed everyone special Peter met in the series, he would have been way more powerful than Sylar. Double in fact, when he fought Sylar, Peter would have absorbed all of Sylar’s powers, right?

Smaller issue:

3) What are the scars from on Future Peter’s face? He can regenerate. Can he lose powers after a certain time?
