*SPOILER possibility* Hatian

[Seyee]

It seems that when Hiro saw the past he know one way to stop Arthur and it also can stop Peter is the Hatian. I get the feeling that Arthur isn't going to fall for the same trick twice he knows that the Hatian is the only thing is going to stop him so some of the heroes who wants to stop Arthur will get to the Hatian first. I think the Hatian will be targeted by Arthur and his gang, but even with the Hatian on the good side, chances are they will lose. I think that Peter will get his power on the day the eclipse comes back the preview shows that it's comming again. That will activate his empath power once again and absorb the Hatian's power IF the hatian lets him to save the world. Hopefully the hatian will allow Peter to absorb his ability once he gets it back because once Peter goes close to Claire first ( to get regeneration) then goes close enough to his Dad, Arthur he'll be able to STOP HIM. Peter + Hatian power + his old power = God? :) atleast he'll be on the good side, hopefully I'll be somewhat right. But I also get the feeling the Hatian will only give Peter this power for some important reason maybe he might be on the verge of dying from an unknown cause is my guess.

I thought this as well, but then wasn't sure that the Haitian could actually give his power to Peter even if he wanted to. Can the Haitian turn it on and off? I don't recall.

[Dpyro]

heres a theory im just going to throw this out there but peter has that ability to see how things work so what if it comes down to the hatian telling peter to cut open his brain to absorb his ability cause his empath abilities wont work around the hatian

[IzzyX]

Yes, the Haitian can turn his ability on/off. We've seen it in season 1 - Nathan was able to fly away from HRG and the Haitian. Since later we found that the Haitian answers to Mama Petrelli, we can assume the Haitian allowed Nathan to get away on purspose. The episode "Five Years Gone" or something like that, Future Parkman is able to read Past Hiro's thoughts with the Haitian in the room.

To be fair with the Parkman example - it is possible that Future Parkman's mind is so powerful at that point, that the Haitian's powers don't work on him as long as he is aware the Haitian is in his presence. As we've seen in season 1, if Parkman concentrates hard enough he can get through the Haitian's mental block. We also see that the Haitian can null Parkman's ability, as long as Parkman is unaware of his presence.

Peter has no powers I think he lost them all for good INCLUDING sylar's power which is a waste since they spent the whole season showing future peter telling present peter to take Sylar ability to save the world just for it to be taken away in a flash forever lol. Well good thing is he won't be needing to control the hunger. Yeah all his abilities are gone :( atleast that's what I think until the eclipse comes he'll be an empath again but he'll have to absorb every power again starting from scratch. Not like his dad going to give his powers back haha assuming if he could. His Dad was a pretty bad ass last episode I'm rooting with Mama petrelli on this one. Man if i'm right about this peter wont have invisibility, phasing, super strength since those their Core powers are either dead or not shown. There's probably a few more. I finally get why Peter never absorbed his dad Power; his power weren't activated at the time although it was pretty much 1-2 days after his dad "died"

[JW_102792]

Yeah, Peter has no abilities at all anymore, although it IS possible Sylar's power isn't considered a power, since he was able to use it while he had the virus. So, maybe that wasn't taken away (Although, he has no hunger now, so chances are he doesn't have it anymore)

Assuming Peter gets his power back before Arthur dies (he totally has to die, as cool as he is) he just has to be near him and he'd get all his old powers back again.\

And what do you mean they spent the whole season having Future Peter tell Present Peter to get Sylar's ability? It was one episode. >_< And it's not gone forever, he can just as easily absorb it again and now that he knows how to activate it, he can use it if he decided to.

Also, I know it's been kind of hinted at, but has it been 100% confirmed that the eclipse is what activates powers? Seems odd, because Claude for example has had his powers for a while, before any eclipse happened, even if it was an earlier one. And if it's an on/off switch for powers, why did someone like Bob not lose his powers when the eclipse went off in the first episode?

[Seyee]

I mean Peter taking Sylar ability is to save the world from chaos. Future Petrelli told him to do that and they build up that idea of finding a way to save the future the present from what will happen from season 3 episode 1 to until Peter actually did absorb Sylar power is what I meant. It's more than 1 episode but he took the power 1 episode and in the next episode just loses it right away, meaning it was sort of a waste all we got out of it is a glimpse of the future.

Angela said where do you think you got your first ability from? assuming she meant that he took it when he was born and was dormant until then?

[christian_kryptonian]

I thought this as well, but then wasn't sure that the Haitian could actually give his power to Peter even if he wanted to. Can the Haitian turn it on and off? I don't recall.

He can definitely turn it off and on. Remember in season 1 when he essentially just lets Nathan go free and fly away? He didn't have it on then. Unless they like plot holes, they will have to say he can turn it off. The real question is can Peter ever absorb his power when its no activated. Cause in theory he can never get it when it's activated, because his power will not function. This is all even assuming Peter gets his power back.

[Seyee]

Angela said where do you think you got your first ability from? assuming she meant that he took it when he was born and was dormant until then?

Nope she meant that the 2 first powers that he really had when the eclipse happened (the day his powers were activiated along with many other heroes like Parkman and Jessica i think, Hiro too. Angela his mom is close to Peter and yes, and based from the episode 1 he DREAMT first and then flew. so He probably absorb her power first, then Nathan. He never got the chance to absorb Arthur or Linderman because they talked about how his powers weren't activated yet so they needed to be patient with him.

[Phantom X]

if peter could get back powers why didnt he regenerate in the future, when he's lying in that cell, next 2 present peter, while claires there??he wasnt shot in the head was he.so wat happened there


----- Added 2 Minutes later -----

if peter is a true empath then he just needs to think of someone to use there power,or does he need to be close to them first, cus rememebr when the haitian wiped peters mind, he wasnt blocking powers, otherwise he wud block his own wouldnt he?? so coulbd peter have the haitians power??

[captain_earl]

I believe Peter's powers work just as Claude described them to work. It's like he needs to have that emotional "connection" with the person whose power he is using. He probably didn't absorb his father's power before because they weren't close, had no connection. Think of the power's he has come to have and the people associated with them. Each one held, at one point, a significant impact on Peter (for the most part). He didn't seem at all close to his father.

[JW_102792]

Pretty sure he doesn't actually have to have an empathetic conneciton to someone, since he's absorbed so many powers from people without knowing them / not liking them. IE. Daphne was trying to capture him/help Claire kill him, Sylar, etc.

@PhantomX; The Haitian can most likely choose who gets their powers blocked, because in Five Years Gone, he's blocking Hiro's power but Matt is able to read Hiro's mind just fine. And your other point, FPeter didn't die because the Haitian was around, and they most likely did shoot him in the back of the head, we just didn't see it, which is why he didn't regenerate even when Present Peter was able to teleport out.

[christian_kryptonian]

The Hatian is definitely the key. If they can get him around Arthur, they can kill him. Or they can kill him during the eclipse, and we know that's not going to happen.

[homebuyer718]

Yes, the Haitian is the key. I think its more of his ability than whom uses the power to shut down abilities. The Haitian stopping Arthur is another thing all together. Arthur would expect for the Haitian to be used against him. There is a photo floating around with the Haitian, Peter and Gabriel standing together and Gabriel seems to be motioning something with his hand, maybe using a power (I think the Haitian can extend his ability so no one can use their powers or focus on one individual and allow others to use their powers). It might be either Peter or Gabriel who stops Arthur or maybe all three (pete/Gab/Haitian).
