"They don't deserve it," Sylar automatically shot back in response, almost a snap in his urgency to get his point across. Cutting out the weak, it was... almost... exactly. "What they've been given, they never deserved it." Brian Davis, asking Sylar to take it away because he didn't want it. Charlie Andrews, wasting her opportunity for something great on... mindless trivia and drivel. And Peter Petrelli. His great plan to save the world, when he was losing control of himself and nearly going nuclear over everyone in the mile radius.

Worthless beings. All of them. Sylar was firmly invested in the idea that his victims hadn't earned their gifts. THEY weren't going to use them correctly, so why couldn't HE have them, somebody who was going to utilize all of this power, efficiently? God.
