Thanks for the feedback! I'm glad you liked it. New comments on old fic are exciting.

Nothing about his creation made any sense at all -- but the result is a fascinating mess of a character.

Exactly! The sheer boneheadedness of Angela's plan to create Nathan!Sylar is astonishing, but I'm really intrigued by the results. I hope the show keeps things ambiguous for a while with the character rather than jumping into some Jekyll and Hyde routine right away. Bringing real Nathan back seems almost impossible...what am I saying? This is Heroes. They make up the rules as they go along, and that means they can bring back proper Nathan if they feel like it. :)
