If Sylar had Killed Claire…
by KeithR
One of the major plot points being dealt with in the graphic novel and in the upcoming episodes, are Hiro’s attempts at manipulating the timeline to prevent the explosion. The current season runs along the thread where Hiro has set Peter into motion to save Claire. Here are a few things that would have been altered, had Peter not been there to save the cheerleader:
- Sylar would have the ability to heal. They point out in the graphic novel that Hiro stabbed him once and stopped him, but Sylar recovered. This was his primary motivation for trying to stop Sylar from getting her.
- HRG would still be at Primatech instead of trying to destroy the tracker that Primatech uses to keep tabs on tagged heroes. His need to protect Claire would be gone and he would be after Sylar for killing her.
- This also means that the Haitian would still be working for Primatech
- Ted would have detonated in Texas, because Claire would not have been there to stop his chain reaction.
- Peter would be dead (assuming that the confrontation with Sylar still occurred), because he would not have been able to recover from the glass shard in the skull
- The Petrelli family dynamic would have altered, because Nathan would have never learned about Claire being alive.
Will Claire surviving be the key to stopping Sylar and the explosion in NYC?

Yes, but if Sylar had tried to cut open Claire’s head he would have had the same result as he did when he tried it with Peter, so maybe Claire could have still escaped somehow.
