If having another hero's blood means you get their power, then everyone is a potential Sylar.

I don't think it works like that. I think it's more that, because the Claire/Adam power is healing/regeneration the power works on whatever system it's in. Whether that grants the blood recipient that power, I don't know, though I suppose a case could be made for it.

On the other hand, if you receive an infusion of, say, Maya blood I don't think you'd get all "I can kill a town with my emo" because the power is not related to that sort of thing.

Does that make sense at all?

Does that make sense at all?

Disturbingly, yes.

It does. It's sort of like a drug for a specific thing...like a diuretic vs. a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Perhaps the infusion heals the existing trauma and that's all.

Does that make sense at all?

Yes, but I doubt the writers have thought it through that thoroughly...

Me, I'm still annoyed by the fact that the blood injection thing works at all in the face of the previously established evidence that the healing power is controlled by their *brain*. It's "Summers blood" all over again.

Yeah, I wasn't all hip on that either. Or, more specifically, I wasn't all hip on Claire's blood also having that power. If it's just Adam, then it's easier to take, somehow, at least for me. And it should be a one-off. And it shouldn't bring people back from the dead.

But that's just my opinion.

And the company basically "chipped" Sylar. At this rate, I'm expecting a catwalk scene between him and Mo any episode now.

But it's not, apparently, unless I'm misunderstanding Mohinder. He keeps saying things like "you would have been" or "you very nearly were" in reference to being dead. I suppose he might mean "permanently," but nothing in the dialogue specifically confirms that they're actually being brought back from the dead.

controlled by your brain

Right. Forgot all about that bit too.
