initialize is a private method, so it won't be shown by methods (which only 
returns the names of the publicly accessible methods). To see it, you must 
use private_methods:

rb(main):003:0> puts Object.private_methods.sort
...
include
included
inherited
initialize
initialize_copy
irb_binding
iterator?
...
