Does Peter have all his powers back

[SuperJoeLL]

Having watched all the previews and clips for the new season; it seems peter might have all his powers back. Last season he could only have one power at a time but from what i've seen so far he is fast, has Mohinders powers, I saw a still of him with blood on his chest (looks like he got shot and healed again: http://justjared.buzznet.com/2009/08/10/milo-ventimiglia-bloody-shirtless/ or just my imagination:confused:) and he took the knife throwers powers (Darth Maul from star wars) while also keeping his other abilities. What are your thoughts? I for one hope he has his mimicry powers back. What are your thoughts?

[Smaug]

I agree. I think touching sylar gave him the ability to mimic again, becuase sylar can mimic too, he's just limited by his lack of empathy, and therefore has to kill. Peter's naturally more caring, and so I think he has empathic mimicry back now.

[futurepeter]

i hope so. but remember future peter has plenty powers but no emphatic mimicry so i'm guessing peter can mimicry by touch but holding the powers

[Soup's Uncle]

After last night's episode we know he def doesn't. However, I think those circus people will find a way to restore it. We heard Ray Park's character say "I found an Empath" and then Peter showed up on the tattooed chick's back.

[Joe Key]

Seemed pretty clear that when he absorbs the power of the knife thrower he lost the super strength. Unless i missed something, i just dont remember seeing him show any kind of extra strength along with the speed he uses later...

[PHOENIXZERO]

There was some goofs with the cuts on his face, at least I think there were because from what I remember, one shot there was a cut during the fight on one side and the next it was gone, then some more cuts.

[Superboy2]

I'm guessing they will be restored soon. At least I hope they are.

[HowardFilms]

I think it's a mind thing, like when Hiro couldn't use his powers in season one. Peter has done nothing but cut ties for the past two years. His family all betrayed him and now he operates totally alone.

When his emotional empathy returns, his power empathy will too.

That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.

[LordDark]

The serum gave Peter different powers, I think empath is just what they call anybody that can copy anothers powers, he was human after his father took his powers, the serum re-wrote him a new ability, similar but not the same, the writers said he was getting too powerful and that is why they changed his power, Peter is just as caring as he ever was and being more proactive about it, when his power developed in the first season he was still not using them properly had no understanding of it, but he was still able to use them they were actually in overdrive, now he knows what he is and is using it to help and is back to caring about people and even back at his old job (even though I could have sworn he was a nurse and not a EMT, but anyway), if his original powers were still present and somehow being surpressed last season by emotional stunting then this season they would be back as he has gotten over it, which leads me to believe that his old power is just that, an old power and not coming back he is no longer a being with an inborn power he is just like Nathan and the Triplets his power is synthetic.

[Superboy2]

So this will forever be his power? One at a time and can only absorb by touch.

[LordDark]

So this will forever be his power? One at a time and can only absorb by touch.
Powers grow not change, he may be able to hold more than one at a time eventually, but I think the touching thing will stick, Hiro and Peter even after 10 years of having time/space manipulation still had to rely on touch to teleport others.

[Blades]

His "new" powers, and the fact that he lost his old powers via a hug... sooo lame. The idea that his powers could be blocked or hindered by his emotion or lack of empathy.. sadly - much lamer.. He had no problem using his powers when he was in psychopath/sylar mode - really no emapthy there. That didn't last long tho. Ever since the hug episode its been such crap..

Who the hell complained he was too powerful? He wasn't all that bright.. Whatever, peter needs to group hug the rest of the 'powered' cast.. Maybe that'll be the genius writing loophole the writers use to bring the power back..

[targis]

Maybe next week when he meets the healer his powers will be somehow fixed.

[targis]

or he could go back in time and take the power from his past self.

[Superboy2]

I'm wondering if Matt jr. will be able to restire his powers partially.

[Chulance]

Well Peter has tons of ways to get his powers now it's sad he's not getting them.

The Healer can restore his powers
He can go back in time and get his past self's powers
Matt Jr. can restore them
Ando can supercharge him
Hiro can get the formula to inject Peter again

ect

I think re-writing his ability is weak on the writers part. I guess he was getting to powerful and they had no ideas on how to control him or the storyline:\ so the safe bet was to make him less powerful.

If there´s any grammar or spelling error, I´m sorry, I´m from Argentina.
The writers let Perter without his full power because "He was to powerfull" aparently, something it was true in my opinion, but it was awsome at the same time. Now he can only take one power at a time, and as many fans I like him much more when was able to retain all the abilities he abosorved. However I could tell in the last episode "The fifth stage" when Nathan in Sylar´s body and is about to "die", that he tells Peter not only that he can do anything he wants but also that the world hasn´t seen anything yet, and that Peter should remember that. That´s why I believe that the writers have planned a more promising near future for our hero, and let him have all the powers at the same time like It used to be.

I hope Matt Parkman´s baby does that!!!

I absolutely agree with that, and I believe he will definetly reagain his powers after Nathan in the last episode "The fifth stage" told him that Peter colud do anything and the world hasn´t seen anything yet.

I either can´t believe that some fans said he was to powerfull, it was awsome like that, and Sylar the perfect enemy, aynway I still have hope for Peter, I think like another user posted here in the website, maybe with Ando´s help, or matt´s baby, or travelling to the past and stoping his father from taking his powers or whatever Peter will have all of his power back, and in the last episode Nathan (Nathan´s memories in Sylar´s body) told Peter he could do anything and that the world hasn´t seen anything yet....I hope something realted to that paragraph happens.

Peter has already touched Sylar in the Third season and only took the shapeshifting abilitie...That´s why apparently he can not take the mimic power from Sylar, I wish he´d do that, but if he didn´t do it when he could I don´t think he´ll do it now. However like I posted before, there might be many ways for him to reagain full power, and in the last episode "Nathan" said to him, that there was nothing peter couldn´t do and that the world hasn´t seen anything yet.

[Superboy2]

I don't think it would be wise to have him go back to when his father stole his powers. I'd rather Ando supercharge him, Matt jr. touch him, or he goes back in time and gets the power back. I think what would be the coolest way would be to have him and Hiro time travel. The healer didn't "heal" his power issue. Just the gun shot that nearly killed him.

[targis]

I hope he gets them Jan 4th

[Superboy2]

He better in the next 2-3 episodes with only 6 episodes of the season left.

[ojugo20]

Peter must get all his abilities. it will happen through matt jr

[pizzahead2490]

I will not watch heroes again until I hear that peter get his powers back.

[kyle747]

I no longer believe they will renew Peter's abilities :confused:

[Ginx]

I no longer believe they will renew Peter's abilities :confused:

me either and that's kinda frustrating....:\

[targis]

I no longer believe they will renew Peter's abilities :confused:
If they don't I will be very disapointed. :mad:

[shanemak]

If Peter gets super-charged again, Sylar will lose his powers and Samuel will die. Sylar won't be a match for him, nor Samuel or any other people. It's hard enough to concoct a legit story around one guy that's near omnipotent, but around 2 guys that are literally unstoppable, that's really difficult to get a legit sounding story, as season 2 proved. For instance, I was wondering why Peter didn't read Adam's thoughts when Adam tried to manipulate him; you cannot manipulate a God. In order to have Peter so powerful they had to de-power the super villain. And now the super villain has powers and Peter is de-powered. Arthur stole Peter's powers, and soon after Arthur got killed, so Sylar stepped up to fill the power void. You can't have 2 big fish in 1 small pond, it just won't work.

[Superboy2]

I have a feeling Samuel will die. I don't see them killing Sylar off anytime soon. I'm kind of hoping that Peter will get super-charged, but is only able to hold onto 10 abilities at a time.

[ojugo20]

I will not watch heroes again until I hear that peter get his powers back.
I second you that if peter doesnot get his original abilities back I won't watch heroes

[hellnback]

i don't want peter to get his powers back. he's the underdog. the one you want to see come out at the top. his enemies are so powerful that we know they can kill him easily. but at the end the underdog always comes out on top cuz he's relies on his smarts or on friends to help him defeat the enemy.

it's just like in a comic book. the good guy has like one power and the bad guy might be super powerful and stronger but yet gets his butt kicked cuz of overconfidence. the villian is alwasy overconfident and that comes back to to get him. the hero always seems to lack the confidence but it comes back to to him slowly and then finally is able to take on the bad guy.

peter should stay with just one power. sylar should stay with multiple ones, which would make him feared.

[hansioux]

honestly, this is Peter's original power. Except that he gets to keep it instead of having to be near someone. This is his original power 2.0.

His season 1.5 power, which is Peter power version infinity is very cool for a while. But having him and Sylar go all Dragon Ball Z on each other is going to be a very boring story....

not that the season 2 or 3 stories were all that interesting....

i think they changed directions way too many times for the past 2 season and in doing so ruined a lot of the original plot points.... like Sylar not needing to kill to get powers...

[npberryhill]

In the Preview for next week it seemed like Peter had a precognitive dream. It shows Emma causing lots of damage with her power and then Peter waking up. I guess that means he'll probably be absorbing mama Petrelli's power next time, but what if he doesn't and this is the first of his multiple abilities to return. Originally Angela did say to peter "who do you think you got your first ability from?" indicating that peter's first EM power was angela's. So I guess there's a chance, although he'll likely just replicate her ability.

[Superboy2]

I'm guessing Peter got both Angela's ability and Nathan's ability around the same time cause he was dreaming of flying. It would be cool if they came back slowly. I guess he also can't absorb a dead person's power(Nathan's flight).

[Kams1982]

Peter has not got his powers back. He has the same sort of powers with a twist before his power was to copy powers in a certain range, but now his power is to copy the power by touching other heroes. I think that peters power will mature and change towards the end of this season as his ability was used straightaway after he injected himself with the injection he didnt allow the injection to take effect because he used his ability straight away if he waited maybe he would have blacked out and had his full ability.

[Kams1982]

May be what happens is when peter goes to save sylar in an upcoming episode sylar senses that peter is not himself then tries to help him by telling him how he got in touch with his EM ability.
