Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think niki's husband is that black guy (Sylar). They both had the symbol as a display...niki's tattoo..and his necklace. And they just so happen not to take her...

I believe she'll end out being a villian in the movie and something tells me her son might be that big rock/fire monster they keep picturing ( I may be wrong). He was reading the magazine earlier in episode 1 or 2 with the monster on the cover and from the looks of it the monster is evil.

It reminds me of when Hiro read his comic and he knew what was going to happen. Thats why the kid is not so surprised about the jobs his mother has.

Isnt the black guy her husband, DL.. and I think Sylar and DL are different people

MBG now that we know he can suppress powers lets call him Jammer (for what he did to Matt) is not DL, Micah's dad...

NONE of them is Sylar... Sylar is WHITE, he was a molested alter boy...

Please tell me how you arrived at the idea that Sylar was a molested altar boy?!? The image of the young man with the Sylar birth announcement definitely shows that someone was AN altar boy. But we don't even know for sure that the photograph is of Sylar. And where did the molested part even come from?

what wtf? the black guy is not Sylar. and DL is going to be arrested soon. there is no movie and maybe they take him because they dont know niki has powers since it's not really somthing you notice about a person when they get reall, y strong.

Let's get a few things straightened out..

- Mysterious Black Guy is NOT D.L. Hawkins

- D.L. Hawkins is Niki's criminal husband

- D.L. Hawkins is played by Leonard Roberts

- MBG is played by Jimmy Jean-Louis

- Sylar has not been cast yet, to the public's knowledge.

- D.L's power is phasing. MBG's power seems to be something telepathic.

- Therefore, Sylar is not MBG. Sylar is not D.L. Hawkins. D.L. Hawkins is not MBG.

Also,

- The "rock monster" Uluru was painted before Isaac Mendez developed his powers. Uluru is a "wonder of the world" in Australia. The comic book is called "9th Wonders." It's safe to assume he creatively brought to life one of the other 8 Wonders for his first comic.

- The S symbol probably is not related with Sylar. The S symbol has already been associated with MBG (his necklace), Claire (her textbooks), Dr. Suresh (his book), and Niki (her tattoo). It is also on Future Hiro's katana. I'm guessing it becomes their "Justice League" Symbol.

- Movie?

Okay, one more time-- the S-sigil is the symbol of the HEROES. It seems to manifest itself in some manner on folks who either have powers or have extensive knowledge of powers.
THE ECLIPSE, on the other hand, IS SYLAR's SYMBOL.

Next up-- If you want to see a picture of Leonard Roberts as D.L. Hawkins, Niki's criminal husband, check SFX Magazine #148 (October), page 36-37. It's a two-page spread of the cast, minus most of the sidekicks (although Simone is there. Hmm...).

And finally, Niki's alterego (the one I call "Wolverina") says an intriguing line to the thug in the elevator, "If you ever threaten OUR son again, I will drive this heel through your head."
Definitely looks like Niki is twins sharing one body.
