How many Powers does Peter have now?

[shadow4486]

If he retains the abilities of those he comes into contact with, how many powers (potentially) would he have right now. And does physical contact play into it?

And does he have access to all of Sylar's powers since they fought and fell of the ledge?

Thoughts?

[SuckMyJagon]

flight-from nathan
precog painting-isaac
regeneration-clairebear
telempathy-matt......note he never touched matt but still used his power, showing he just needs to be in a undetermined proximity to the sorce
invisibilty-claude.. who may have demonstrated the estimated proximity that peter needs to unintentionally activate and/or absorb powers
these are for sure because he has demonstrated them

could have sponged..
time/space manipulation-future hiro
telekenesis,intuitive apptitude,who knows what else-sylar

..maybe even forced persuasion from eden but she died and we still dont know how his power works(meaning he may have to empathically connect with the person whos power he is mimicing which is kind of impossible when they blew out thier brains)

[MidgardDragon]

I don't think Sylar's TK or any of his other absorbed powers count. I think the "seeing how things work" is the only one he could get from Sylar, as that's Sylar's only real power that he didn't have to do surgery to get.

Did Pete get near Haitian at one point? I think he should have the power-suppression and memory-wiping too. It could explain a lot of why he had such a hard time reactivating the powers.

[SuckMyJagon]

I dont think he was close enough to the haitian to absorb cuz matts power would have been suppressed and being in the same building is the closest hes ever been to him... and about sylar... we have never seen him use anything other than his telekenisis and apptitude which would be in his dna so peter most probubly got that one.... and i have a thoery that sylar can only use one of his aquired abiitys at a time, kinda like using different caliber ammo in a gun(the gun will shoot any ammo but you gotta change the barrel).. and it looked as if peter was deflecting the lockers out of instinct rather than gettin nailed with them

[Kaylin-el]

Actually Sylar's power is beleived to be that he knows how the other people's powers work... He himself wasn't Telekinetic until he absorbed it from the man in the watch shop.

I'm curious though, If he killed Peter would that mean he could absorb people's powers without killing them- of course he would probably kill them anyway.

Yeah its call intuative apptitude like i mentioned before.. yes if he got ahold of peter he could probubly steal his power... tho it has not been made clear exactly how sylar does steal the power cuz noone ever confirmed he HAS to kill them to take it.. he didnt have to kill the watch on mohinders dads wrist to know how it worked.. nor did he have to touch it before he identified the problem with the operation of the watch so ..we will see in the future

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

Sylar can see when something is "broken" like the watch or the telekinetic in 6 Months Ago. He can tell what causes the particular powers and rewire his own brain or DNA to gain that ability, but he needs the brain intact in order to determine how to use specific powers. Which is why Eden shot herself in the head when he was going to kill her.

[Scareafobia]

In a trailer for episode 15 there is a scene that goes like

Peter: DON'T LIE TO ME!
*Isaac flies across the room and into a table*

If that's NOT telekenesis, i dunno what is, so if he dosen't already have it now, he'll have it soon.

[phelan120]

my understanding of sylars power was that he kills people because he needs to physically see their brain to tell how it is wired. thats why he cuts off the top of the head

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

That scene was from the in the coming weeks trailer. I only saw it once but it looks like interesting thing are going to happen with Peter and his 'training'. Maybe he finds out the true extent of his power. Maybe his encounter with Sylar at homecoming left him with alot more than just a nasty cough and a coma.

[SuckMyJagon]

how pissed do you think sylar is gonna be when he realizes peter is gonna womp on his monkey @$$

[nafeasonto]

Peter is VERY powerful now, now that he is learning control. He will be UNSTOPABLE. Now that Simone is dead, we need to ALL WATCH THE dream sequence again for the symbolism. To see the symbolism of the death of Simone, the body movement and the facial experessions.

[sebarbapapa]

I think Peter powers FOR SURE so far are: invisibility, flying, regeneration, telekinesis, telepathy, time/space bending, precognition. Now... he may have some more... (could he get the other powers from Sylar or just the one he used? And what about the Haitian?) Maybe he has some more powers but he still DOESN'T KNOW he does... Like telekinesis, he didn't remembered he had it until he needed it...

[chrisxs5]

Mimic-Peters Original (Thanks Portdechar)
Intuative Apitude-Sylar (ThanksPortdechar)
Telekinsis-Sylar
Memory-Sylar(the waitress)
Freezing-Sylar
Time/space-Hiro
Regeneration-Claire
Mind Reading-Matt
Flight-Nathan
Invisibility-Claude
Seeing the future-Issac
Eden-Persuasion (Talk ed to her in "Collision" while looking for Mo)
Dream Preminition-???

Other people that are rumured/hinted to may have powers he has been in connection with.
Mohinder
Simone

People he has been in at least a near proximity with. Of course it does depend on how close he needs to be.
Eden (Moved to up)
Haitan (Close proximity at the Highschool)

People/powers I think he will gain in the next few episodes
Fire-Claires mom
Heaing-Sylar
Metal Melting-Sylar (What a great episode that will be)
Wireless-Wireless
Radioactive-Ted
Technopath-Micah
Walk through things-DL
Strength-Nikki/Jessica

If I have missed any let me know.

A good question to ask would be; Is there a limit to how many he could actually have? We know he works like a sponge so maybe he can only hold say, 10 for example. He could get a new one and then jump off a buiding to fly and realize he cant. That would make him not as powerful as we all think. He could go to use powers in battle and they wouldnt be there. Not to mention he could have some that he wouldnt know he has and they would just be dead space powers at the time.

[Portdechar]

I think you missed Peter's original: Mimic
and Sylar's original: Intuitive aptitude (knows how things work)

If Peter turns on is Precognition, and while he is watching an event from the near future, decide to teleport (time and space) to that location and help. wouldn't that be wicked to see?

[SuckMyJagon]

i wonder if peter can activate the intuative apptitude if he would ba able to understand the nature of his power completely and fill us all in on how it works lol

That would be completely awesome.

Peter has 11 confirmed meetings with heroes which gives him 12 powers including his own.

Exactly! I cant wait for him to understand his true potential!!

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

I hope the ptb don't decide that he is TOO powerful and kill off the character with this whole exploding man. He was really starting to pique my interest.

[chrisxs5]

If Peter takes Teds power he wont explode, he will just create an explosion. If it is power overload then who knows!

[SuckMyJagon]

if they were to kill peter off i think i would probubly lose interest in the show... they would have to come up with something really wicked to make up for it

Do you have powers?
It's like you read my mind!

[Sidious]

I don't think they would kill Peter off because he looks to be the only person powerful enough to stop Sylar.

[chrisxs5]

Him and Hiro are pretty popular characters also.

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

I don't think they would kill Peter off because he looks to be the only person powerful enough to stop Sylar.

I don't think they would kill him off, but I could see a storyline where after a particularly brutal battle with Sylar he loses his power for some or all of the next season. They can't let him go unchecked to an all-powerful state without any apparent weakness. There has to be a limit to what he can do, right?

[chrisxs5]

I completely agree with that. Otherwise he would just become all powerful and dominate everybody as a god.

[chrisxs5]

I just added Dream Preminition. After reading everyone talking about it as an ability, I figured I would add it as one.

[SuckMyJagon]

i wonder if peter or sylar using the intuative apptitude would be able to not only change themselves to gain powers but be capable of giving someone else abilities.. like someone is about to die(hint hint simone) and pete pumps em full of clairebear power

[Drolfin]

I think that since Peter's main power is based on empathy, it is quite possible that he could "lend" his acquired powers to other people. Also, i don't think that he has Dream Premonitions, per se, but that those are also an extension of his empathic abilities.

[chrisxs5]

That is a fantastic theory, you know at some point some they will have someone with the ability to heal others. So it would be a neat twist if Peter healed Simone, but we had to figure out who the power came from.

if u remember from when hrg`s doctor did tests on sylar, he said that all the tests said that sylar only had telekinises.i think that since that was the 1st power sylar absorbed,peter can mimic it and only it from sylar.peter has demonstrated his power of telekinesis in `unexpected` against hrg and haitian and also against isaac. he might`ve absorbed the way things work power 2 idk but i do know peter did absord telekinesis

[chrisxs5]

True but Peter has to be able to absorb his intuative aptitude as well, that is his natural ability. Even Dr Suresh couldnt find that one. Peter hasn't been "around" the Haitian, but they have been in the same area at the Highschool. Question is of course distance. Telekinsis is of course the power that Sylar embraced first and the one he uses the most of. That may of course play a part in why Peter has only found that one first. I think that Sylar will have to use his stolen powers around Peter for him to get them. I think the natural abilites are always presenting themselves, but Syalrs are added to be used when called out.

[Superboy2]

Peter-12 powers. Sylar-Five powers. TK, freeze thingy, eidetic memory, melt metal and superhearing. Peter could also get all of Sylar's powers cause he got telekinesis, and we haven't seen him with Sylar's natural ability, so yeah. Peter could ultimately have 17 powers if around Sylar for awhile. All he needs to do next is bump into Nikki and D.L. I want Sylar to kill off D.L. I like his power, but he barely uses it, and he isn't that interesting to watch. Same with Nikki.

[phantom222]

ya there pretty boring

also thats when peter demonstrated edens power of persuasion cuz when he said `DONT LIE TO ME` isaac admited 2 being jealous of him and simone. plus he used the deep voice eden used when he said it.
