This is not "Heros," people don't absorb each others "powers". The "traits" he picks up from Gus, and anyone else, are just a matter of the shows namesake, Breaking Bad. As in, they are things that happen to your moral code when you become a meth crime lord. </span></p>

For a man who takes his whiskey straight, adding ice would be sacrilege. I would say it's safe to assume that very few people decide to start eating sandwiches at his age without crust. So maybe your right, but I think it’s reaching. There’s more interesting connections in the show to focus on.</span></p>

<p>I have to disagree, if Walt really does adapt traits from people he kills then it's EXTREMELY significant in determining future events, because he did the bacon trick on his birthday in S5E1, so if we are right and Walt really is doing this, then that makes it extremely likely that Walt killed Skyler sometime before that point in time, either by mistake or not, so it's significant speculation.
