Peters Power

[chobee]

Did he get all the abilities back, or just Nathans? I couldn't tell if his face had healed or not.

No just Nathans and maybe flint and mohinders can't really say for the other 2 (flint and mohinders) he just absord those around him at the moment.

I'm willing to bet that his power replication was kicked back in and he instantly absorbed Nathan's ability... those other powers weren't a part of his original DNA, but his unique power replication was.

On a side note, I'm very, very happy to see him get his ability back... I know he just got it back, but I can already see Peter's become more decisive and better able to handle the challenges that are ahead...

[Antithesis]

Well it did seem like he got Parkman's back too. It sounded like he was hearing a few jumbled thoughts.

[Yoshua]

Was his face healed in the field?

I don't think it was. If it wasn't healed he just got his sponge ability. Would be awesome if it was a limited version now so instead of getting powers permanantly the side effect is that he can only use those around him.

[Litle bit more bizarre]

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr I wanted to see him regaining all of his powers after formula injection especialy hunger so he could be bad again

[pycer]

He got his original empathic mimicry power back, and could then fly because Nathan was right there. He should have also gained Flint's pyro powers, and perhaps Mohinders...whatever it is Mohinder does power.

lol, ewwy! i did not like that they made Peter evil. He's been a good guy since the first episode so i'm happy they gave him a fresh slate. :p

[DarkClone]

there was still blood on peter's face in the field, so it's hard to tell if it healed and there was just blood left on his face, or if the cut was still there

either way, it's good he has his powers back, hopefully he'll get them all back soon . . .

I was kind of hoping he'd get all of his powers back . . . maybe they could have explained it by saying that each time he absorbs a new power, it gets written into his DNA or something, who knows

[LILVILLE]

yea loos like he will have 2 collect new powers not sure if he got flint's power but he will prlly get claires in the volume premire and maybe run into sylar?

[rambo5501]

Until now I think he only has

the copy powers
Fly
and maybe fire throwing, that's it.


But when he gets together with the other people he is going to start getting the others powers. What would be interesting what would happen if he gets near sylar.
He gets all his like 20- something powers?

I hope he didnt get off for two weeks like it was in season 1

[jazzylg]

As soon as he gets around sylar and clair he'll be halfway back to normal. It looks like he might have mohinder's powers too. It's good that he didn't get infinite abilities again, it will make for better stories. I don't think sylar got all his aquired abilities back, after he got healed with claire's blood. We just don't know. It's all up to the writers. With 1 penstroke, they could say Peter got all his abilities back, because technically, arthur just copied them, and since he died, they went back to peter, but only the formula could 'cut them back on'. Wishful thinking.

actually that would be very much un-awesome

Well, technically Arthur completely took his powers. All of them. He didn't copy them, he took them. And there's no reason to believe they would go back to the original owners when he died, because that wouldn't make much sense. Peter's DNA was still set up to use his absorbing power, he just had it taken away, so his body could still absorb powers, he just didn't have the actual power.

I think what the formula does, is force-manifests a power. So, Peter's DNA was still set to have a power, like I said, so the formula re-manifested it. And then what the Catalyst does (more speculating) is changes the DNA to allow a power. As we saw with Peter, he didn't pass out (because his DNA was already configured to allow powers) but Ando passed out while his body reconfigured his DNA. Mohinder also passed out, because his body was trying to change his DNA to allow powers, but he didn't have the Catalyst, so it mutated him.

Seems like a pretty good theory to me. :)

Also, I think if Peter could only use his powers for a short time after absorbing him, it would be pretty cool. It would mean he can actually be smart (He's only dumb because he's so powerful) but not unstoppable. Which would you prefer, a Peter who's an idiot and can't die, or a Peter who's so smart with the use of his powers that he doesn't die? (IE, Sylar)

Actually... I think labeling Peter as "dumb" or an "idiot" is a major exaggeration. Sure, he's had his moments of indecision, but "dumb"???... really?

He struggled early on particularly because he has a good heart... he actually cares for others (imagine that) and has been trying to understand his powers all at the same time.

With that said, I think Peter's now ready to be the decisive and powerful hero we've been waiting for.

[Lexgirl33]

Agreed ^^

I don't think Peter is "dumb." Peter has gotten all these powers over a short amount time. He didn't really know how to handle himself, so I can see his mistakes being plausible. Then he got them taken away. This most likely taught him to be strong without his powers, which before he had his powers, he wasn't because there was no need.

Now that Peter has his powers back, I think he will be able to control them with more sense because he now realizes how powerful he actually is and understands them more. I hope that all makes sense :lol:

So overall hes not "dumb" just had powers and didn't know the full capacity of them

[Dpyro]

alright think about this if someone took your memory card and deleted all the data and completely cleared it out and gave it back to you how would you get all the data back?? basically arthur took peters powers which made him human that means he has nothing to store all of the powers he absorbed so they were erased when he injected himself it only triggered the code in his dna to reactivate giving him his absorbing ability back being how nathan was right in front of him he took his power and flew off thus being the reason why the writers giving him that cut on his cheek to show us that he didnt heal it at all so his powers are restarted.

[dimefan90]

he was reformatted

[one of the 12]

he was reformatted


Yup, we now are on operating system Peter 2.0...

[JW_102792]

Oh I definitely agree, he's not dumb, but that's what everyone always complains about. That he has a power he could use in X situation, but doesn't, so apparently that makes him dumb. How many people would really remember every power they have and remember to use that power every time they needed it?

While I think the whole idea of making him do dumb things (IE, helping Adam after people told him he's going to release the virus) is lame, if he were to be as smart as Sylar all the time, there would be no show. Teleport to the villains (Before he lost his powers) and telekinetically cut their head off. Bam, done. Heroes is over. But with Sylar, he's at least a villain, and not as powerful because he has to kill someone to get their power, so anyone with a powerful power like Hiro's could just get away before he kills them.

[jazzylg]

I think hiro might get a different power, because time control is just too powerful as well as dangerous. He'll probaly get teleportation back, like in jumper. I agree about Peter being more decisive now.

[taolbi]

Thats why i loved the episode Eclipse and then events that followed Peter.


He wanted to show himself that he could be strong without his powers. He was unprepared for the responsibilities prior his abilities being taken away. But now that he's ready, and been given a second chance, he will be able to use the powers more effectively!

He's not naive anymore..at least... not as much as before.

I can relate to Peter, being at the top, then falling to the the bottom, makes you experience the climb to the top differently.

[j-kent]

If he retained his empathy ability he wouldn't have all his old powers that he absorbed back. He absorbs as he goes..his original power is simply copying..so essentially if he really does have empathy (and hopefully not just flight by random selection) then he's a clean slate and has to start all over...which isn't too hard

[Curium]

lol ^ You don't seem to want Peter to have his old ability back ?

There must always be another to balance the equation ... Peter's the + and Sylar's the - <

[Superboy2]

The empathy ability means he has to feel their emotions or he can just use the powers at will?

[j-kent]

Wait what? Nothing in my post says that...it simply says if he does have his original ability back he won't have the abilities he picked up pre-arthur.

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

He absorbs the ability automatically, but can only initiate it when he feels the emotions of the person he took it from.

[Superboy2]

I like the idea of him being able to pick the power if he wants it.

[targis]

If Peter gets powers from Ando and Daphne will he be able to time travel by himself?

[Superboy2]

Possibly but I'm guessing he will bump into Hiro.

[targis]

What was the point in Peter taking Sylars power? I don't see how it helped him and his dad took them away. What was Arthurs original power? I thought his original power was the same as Matt's so how could he take other peoples powers away from them? Maybee Peter can do the same thing if he tries.

[Superboy2]

His dad stole powers by touch and couldn't give them back.

[targis]

well Peter took Sylars power but I don't see how it helped him and Sylars power didn't seem to change Arthur like it did Sylar and Peter.

[Superboy2]

Arthur already had many other abilities before that and with years of stealing powers maybe he learned to control that humger either by himself or with a power that helps that.
