Comic: I haven't read Civil War so I didn't notice the similarity. I'm hoping more happens in next week's conclusion.
Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The problem, though Sylar likely doesn't know it, is that he can't directly change the past (thus Future Hiro having to work through others to save Claire). So, even if he came back to our present, he wouldn't be able to change much.
I love that this big pronouncement that so much of the beginning of the series was based on was based on false assumptions and, now, demonstrably wrong.
Do we think that Hiro and Ando have figured out that Future Nathan was Sylar? Because it seems like a lot rests on their ability to figure out what the frell is (or, rather, will be) actually going on.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
But if they kill present!Sylar, doesn't future!Sylar cease to exist?
Unless Future!Sylar goes back before his timeline is erased (not neccesarily TO when his timeline is erased.) Note that he just threw away the presidency to go after Peter and Hiro. He knows about the time travel. Stopping any Hiro from going back in time took priority. Failing that, after he kills future!Peter, my guess is that he immediately heads backwords without waiting for his timeline to vanish.
I mean even if the timeline vanishes, future!Hiro went back to our time at least once. If that vanishes then the timeline never changes in the first place. So Future!Sylar can go back.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So Future!Sylar can go back.
Do we know that Sylar has Hiro's powers? Future!Hiro was shot, not Sylar-ed.

Gar's assuming Sylar gets all of Peter's powers.
Frankly, I don't think they're going to go there. It's too complicated.

He went after Peter, not Hiro. He sent Matt after Hiro and went after Peter himself. He changed in the hallway, and I believe that Matt saw him. He was pissed about being blamed for the explosion and went after Peter for that.

Plus, if he does manage to absorb Peter's powers, he would be basically unstoppable. He wouldn't need to be President any more.

true, but it's hard to control an entire world by force. it would be easier to do what he could as president, and if that didn't work, take it by force and return to being president when you're done.
