So, wait, if it was always Peter who blew up New York, it won't necessarily change anything if Hiro kills Sylar. Or it will change something, because Sylar won't become Nathan, but it might not change enough.
Wait, I think I have this: it's in the vision Peter had, where he's about to blow up and everybody is fleeing him,
except for Nathan.
He's walking up close, presumably to fly him away to the moon, and there's some line about their deep, abiding brotherly love.
If Sylar replaces Nathan before that point, well, clearly Sylar (a) does not give a shit about Peter and (b) would be very happy to be elected president on a wave of paranoia, as the paintings predict. So he (as Nathan) doesn't arrive to put Peter on the moon, so Peter blows up New York (clearly his blowupping is not a danger to himself) and Bob is everybody's uncle!
Post quod erat ipso factotum!!
Very interesting theory, Nutty. It makes sense. Have we seen Sylar kill someone with the ability to look like another person yet, or is that a power he still has to acquire?
Oooh, Nutty has spicy brains!

As far as we know, Candice is still alive, so no.
He said he "met" Candace.
In the future he had met Candace, but I don't believe that he's met Candace yet.
Molly was mentioned by future Hiro when he went to meet HRG and gather up some folks for a raiding party, right? That is the first mention of her we've had, right?
Also, Future!Peter and Future!Hiro are hotter than the sun. And the most changed from the present.
I want to know how Jessica dies in the explosion and Niki lives. That's what Peter said, right? How is that possible?

Molly, D.L. and Candace, and as Sylar exhibited two of their powers, it's clear that they were killed sometime after Future!Hiro got them to safety.

I think he actually said "gone," so I assume the personalities probably integrated sometime after Micah's death.
Maybe Jessica and Niki have two bodies in slightly alternate dimensions?

Just because a painting shows you somebody who looks like you being Prez, doesn't mean it's you.
