What power does Daddy Petrelli have?

[Alexander III]

Even a very powerful guy like Parkman's dad would sweat like hell and feel threaten by Daddy Peteli's presence, wow eh? And he's chilling in the coffin :confused:

[Merfish]

I was thinking like, put others in Coma or being able to powers away

[DoomsDay15]

Gotta be something with the mind. He was able to project himself into Angela's dream, or give her one at least.

[Ragius]

Maybe to turn other people's powers against them?

[Alexander III]

Or maybe he can cast intense fear into people lol but that sounds cheesy

If so( but I sincerely doubt it), Knox would be invincible

[oldblackmagick]

her dream is her power she was just seeing that he will come back and something about his power makes her unable to hurt him or do anything to him but the dream was just her power IMO

[Ragius]

But wasn't Ma Petrelli frozen in place at the end?

[jimmyolsenblues]

i am more interested by papa peterilli is in a bed on a Breathalyzer when he is the head super bad guy

[Alexander III]

REmember in her dream he was standing in front of her saying "you can't move" ...I wish her dream gives us more details on Pa Petrelli's power.

What about this .. Daddy Petrelli is the same as Peter. He absorbs other people's powers, which would mean he would have the original powers of his generation. He can invade people's minds like Maury and can invade people's dreams like the guy Peter was caring for in the first episode? Any credibility?

OMG thats it!!!! I never even thought of that! That makes perfect sense. Entering the dreams, controlling Angela's mind not allowing her to move.

Thats a good theory, could have gotton Devueax's Powers allowing him to enter dreams, but doesn't explain why he's in a coma since he's met adam

[Ragius]

Possibly his current condition cannot be helped by mere cell regeneration and healing. Maybe it's something more .. unique.

Damn thats right! Either or he definitely has a mind/brain altering and/or controlling power.

Awesome, maybe you're right since Ma Petrelli said Nathan was not born w/ power. That's a strong hint that matches your theory. So yea, maybe Peter is born w/ power that is identical to his daddy.

funny...i was thinking that as well...it seems so far...peter and claire and maybe sylar are the only one born with their powers....

[Merfish]

and Matt, Hiro, and most of the villians

[Alexander III]

funny...i was thinking that as well...it seems so far...peter and claire and maybe sylar are the only one born with their powers....

And guess wut, they're all related, they're family! ...except Sylar, still uncertain about his status, is he really Ma Petrelli's son?

[Sweetie]

Mr.Petrelli seem to have mind control:can paralysed,manipulated,make people do whatever he wants.He's indeed a very dangerous man.

[chobee]

That makes total sence seeing as how Matt has the same power as his dad. Here's a wrinkle - in the deleted scenes from season 2, it shows Hiro's dad as having the same power as Sylar...

[HowardFilms]

It would make sense for Kaito and Ma to have had an affair...


...minus the fact that Sylar isn't half asian.

No, it doesn't actually. Kaito had the ability to see possible outcomes of a situation. Basically, super analytical man. He would take in a given set of information, say stock market numbers and trends, and be able to predict the most likely future outcome based on that info. Sylar has the ability to have an intuitive understanding of how things work. He doesn't require a set of info from which to get this, he simply examines something and figures out what makes it tick. He is able to then use this info to manipulate some things, but he can't 'predict' a future outcome based solely on this, though he can take steps based on his knowledge to encourage things to become the outcome he desires, he doesn't see all possible outcomes like Kaito does.

[Yoshua]

In the comics in the war he didnt have an ability. So my guess is his ability is manufactured like Nathans.

Either that or being in combat didnt give him enough adrenaline to activate his power.


Linderman and Patrelli were in a war together and Linderman healed some people in front of Patrelli.


Patrelli exhibited no powers at that point. Had to of been manufactured.

[gameface25]

It is your classic Hero/Villain paradox...

The main bad guy is of the "power of the mind", while the good guys (Peter, Sylar, etc) are of the brute strength type of powers

[Hopefulsuicide]

i think it'd be brill if pa had same powers as Peter

1. he's recruiting all these people because then he can asorb their powers
2. he maybe meets the puppet man, which explains why in angela's dream he said she wouldn't be able to move
3. it does seem to fit with a trend
4. he was specifically asking about adam, and they are bringing him too him... maybe so he can get his powers and not be in a coma anymore. why not claire? because he doesn't want anyone finding out he is still alive yet

[JW_102792]

There would be no reason to get Matt though, if he just wants to absorb their powers, because he would already have his power from Maury.

I think at some point Arthur became evil (or good?) and made Pinehearst to counter everything the Company does, so he needs some people to fight for him.

I'd say his power is to paralyze people, it seems unlikely they'd make the villain have Peter's power, because he's smart enough to use any power he gets whenever the situation needs it, so he would be completely unstoppable, unlike Peter who doesn't always think to use an ability he has at the right time.

And I think Angela's power works like, she can only see the future if it's a future she's there for. So, she was actually there, which is why Arthur could paralyze her. Like her first dream, everyone involved could see her (Because Sylar grabbed her), they just didn't know it was her from the past. But Arthur did, so he paralyzed her so she couldn't stop him.

[thedarknight]

I thought he may have Sylar's power since in Angela's dream it was left ambiguous as to who cut Tracy and Nathan.

[Hopefulsuicide]

i dunno... i'd be dissapointed with just a paralysing ability tbh. it needs to be something bigger...

besides it's a bit too close to the puppet man... he paralyses AND controls... be a bit tat if the big bad could only paralyse IMO

[Dpyro]

i think he might have the abillity to control other peoples power turn it on or off or something along those lines

[The Ninth Doctor]

What. Sylar is the most mind-based guy on the show.




Anyway. Arthur Petrelli. Father's Nathan, normal, Peter, an Evolved Human who grows in ability via his emotional connection to others, and Gabriel, an Evolved Human, who seems to be even a step beyond in evolution compared to the other heroes, due to the problems Curare, Hatian, and Peter have affecting his ability, who grows in power via logic.

Arthur Petrelli, like Sylar, seems to have abilities that are beyond the average evolved human, as adrenaline did not make them manifest.


We still have no explanation for who or what Uluru is. We do know that Hiro will be fighting him at some time in the future, and that Uluru has been set up as a major big-bad.

We still don't know how Dreamtime fits into all this, as the writers have been teasing since Season 1. We do know that Uluru has some connection to dreamtime, given the real world's Uluru place in Aboriginal mythology, and Uluru's actions thus far (specifically with Issac.)



Food for thought.

[wooosmallville]

What if he can control others peoples powers? He has to be around them but is able to control their powers better then the person can control it? But he doesn't actually absorb the power like Peter does..it makes sense that Peter's power would be similar but stronger than his dads

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

it explains why he can't heal himself..but doesn't explain how he paralyzed angela in her dream...what if Maury helped out with that somehow? i dunno..it seemed like a great thought!

[doomvskal86]

funny...i was thinking that as well...it seems so far...peter and claire and maybe sylar are the only one born with their powers....

I think Peter and his father are one in the same and have the same abilities as well as the same agenda for the heroes, or it could just be a lover quarrel between ma and pa petrelli and they know the weaknesses of one another and she will break from the trance. I don't know who is good and evil it's hard to say between the two I just think they both want to be the ruler of all the people with abilities. Pa petrelli want's everyone to have abililities and ma doesn't
