Agreed. I really wonder if there are significant differences between the comic book that Hiro has at the beginning of the series, and the one he has now...i.e. killing a man (presumably Sylar.)

Also, at the end of the last episode, Sylar looks at the city and says "boom". Whether or not he is the one that blows it up, he certainly appears at this point to show intent to do so, if that makes any sense.

Oh, he definitely intends to be the one. He believes Isaac's paintings depict him as the one. The only problem I have with that is Peter's previous vision. Of course, there's a problem with having a nuke go off anyway. If they're all in the same place, only Claire and Peter have the ability to survive. I suppose Nathan could fly a few of them away. But really, how would they survive into next season if they're all at ground zero?
