* MindRape: Both he and his father have the power to force some poor SOB into a living nightmare which puts their body in a coma and their mind in... Well, their worst nightmare. Maury gets the tables turned on him in a season two episode and gets trapped in his own mind by Matt. In a nasty case of KickTheSonOfABitch, Matt locks Sylar in his own worst nightmare- a world where he is completely and utterly alone. Each hour that passes in the real world is a year in the nightmare.

He instead goes dark in Volume Four, where he goes on a revenge kick against Danko after the Building 26 leader denies Daphne medical treatment, leading to her death. He gets saved at the last minute by Hiro, who helps him reconcile with his estranged family from Volume One (now including his new son, Matt Parkman, Jr.). The season finale sees him arriving in Washington D.C. just minutes too late for either final showdown (vs. Building 26 or vs. Sylar), although he does play a role in the finale as a walking DeusExMachina thanks to his ability to reshape minds. Even so, he is still a fan favorite.

%%* BackFromTheDead

to:

%%* BackFromTheDead* BackFromTheDead: She's been actually killed on occasion due to her brain being pierced, but removing the offending object allows her regeneration to kick in.



%%* FeelNoPain: Volume Three.

to:

%%* * FeelNoPain: In Volume Three she starts experiencing this after [[spoiler:Sylar learns how her power works]]. It causes her some angst and appears to be part of the cause of her Future self becoming more villainious in Volume Three.



%%* DramaPreservingHandicap

to:

%%* DramaPreservingHandicap* DramaPreservingHandicap: Hiro's powers are easily some of the strongest on the show outside of multi-power evolved humans, so he's often written as having trouble with them to ensure he can't solve the plot much more quickly, or handed the IdiotBall.



* AddictionPowered: Although eventually, he does manage to use his power while clean.

to:

* AddictionPowered: His ability to paint the future initially only activates when he shoots up on heroin. Although eventually, he does manage to use his power while clean.



* ProphecyTwist: Almost all of Isaac's paintings. Almost everything he paints comes to pass, exactly as depicted, but the visual might not be what it appears: he paints Hiro fighting a dinosaur (Hiro is startled in a museum and draws his sword on a statue), Nathan in the Oval Office (it's Sylar shape-shifted as Nathan), Claire's murder by Sylar (Sylar kills the wrong cheerleader — the painting in which she's dead was finished by Peter, who drew it badly enough that you can't recognize the face), and Peter's death afterwards (He dies, but regenerates when Claire runs up to him and he mimics her power).

The Exploding Man is the biggest example, as the nature of the painting obscures him completely and no less than three people are speculated by be the man in question.



%%* FromASingleCell

to:

%%* FromASingleCell* FromASingleCell: His ability, the same regeneration power Claire has.

* SpoiledBrat: Was this growing up and the effects are still there. Even in his forties, Nathan doesn't seem to understand that he can't just treat people like dirt and expect them to love him.

renamed to Short Teens Tall Adults; misuse
