Origin and Reason[]
This common phrase is constantly mentioned througout Heroes, it was originally spoken by Hiro who came from the future to warn Peter that he must save Claire ("The Cheerleader") so that she can shoot Sylar as he is about to explode. Originally, Peter was supposed to be the exploding one, but that became Sylar later on.
Meaning[]
Sylar is after Claire to take her ability, and because Claire is a cheerleader she is to be saved. If Claire manages to be saved then she can help save the world.
"Save the Cheerleader, save the World"
