Peter's Scar

[christian_kryptonian]

Ok so I may not be right here, but that's why this is on the speculation board. I think that judging by the preview Peter and Sylar get into it majorly and a huge fight breaks out. I think either this episode or the next one(in case the battle carries over which I bet it will, better cliffhanger) Peter will get the "scar" that the future Hiro alluded to. What do you guys think?

[Drolfin]

I think you're probably right, especially since at this point Peter hasn't actually met Hiro in the current time yet. It would make sense that he gets the scar soon. I am also putting my money on the scar being a horizontal one that goes across his forehead...

[phantom222]

since sylar is wicked powerful, it makes sense that even with claires ability,he gets a scar.but doesnt that also hint that claire might die and peter cant use her power anymore?we still dont know what happens when heroe`s die. peter might not have her power anymore

[Billyk]

If the paintings interpretation of saving the Cheerleader from Sylar were correct, then whatever Sylar does to his victim´s brain might be fatal even to Claire and her healing factor, and i guess that could explain why Peter gets his scar but we still have to see how he manages to survive Sylar´s attack

[christian_kryptonian]

I am glad you pointed out the comment of him not meeting Hiro yet also. I had thought about that but forgot to point that out in my original post as well. I think we are going to be looking at a really good episode(as if Heroes never delivers one, HA!)

[christian_kryptonian]

OK I just watched the episode and did I call that or did I call that?

[Riggs32]

i def think the scar will happen when heroes returns. but i hope the scar isnt just like a line across his forehead. to me that doesnt seem like it would make u unrecognizable. i think it would be cooler if during the fight peter gets a scar across his face like the main character in final fantasy 8 :-)

this is the char i was talking about

[angeloo]

im thinking the scar is from something he was either born with or got when he was younger because i dont think that he can get it from sylar because he can just heal... no matter how strong sylar maybe they showed claires healing is really good... so his should be also

[i love u tom]

i think that sylar's head-splitting power is more powerful than peter/claire's power. that's why claire's head was cut open in the pic, cuz even she couldnt heal from it.

im almost definitely sure this is where the scar is from.

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

Remember that a scar is a natural part of the healing process. If for some reason Peter just uses the power to close the wound and not completely regenerate he would develop some scarring. Being in the middle of a donnybrook with Sylar would qualify as a situation where healing completely might not be the best course of action.

Then again he may just want to keep the scar as a reminder of something important. Lets just say he kills Sylar and is overcome with guilt or remorse over the killing. Peter then vows never to kill again and keeps the scar as a reminder to himself of his vow.

[Sidious]

Heroes hasn't fully shown what the extent of Claires/Peters healing power is yet.

Maybe if they are cut by a specific thing then they can scar. or maybe if the wound is made using telekinesis it might not be able to heal completely.

[Billyk]

I´m not so sure about Claire but Peter´s scar might be the result of Peter not knowing how to use claire power in its full capacity, or plain simply Sylar cutting his brain can make it difficult for Peter to use the healing ability (we still have to see what peter does to survive, but he might fight Sylar using telekinesis too).

In this case, maybe Peter triggers the regeneration but only partially, closing the wound, but leaving the scar.

[angeloo]

yes but wouldnt he just be able to heal his scar?? lol... we seen claire can regen from radioactive bomb and like really bad other stuff lol

[Dusk919]

Assuming that the future has changed since Future Hiro came back to give the message maybe he will heal from it and not have a scar. Since Future Hiro had to come back and tell Peter to save Claire maybe in the original timeline Sylar killed her and took her power.

Plus he probably didn't recieve training from Claude so he wouldn't have known how to callback his powers, even if he had Claire's ability or absorbed it from Sylar if he had it.

[christian_kryptonian]

I do not think we can accurately for an oppinion about the scar without understanding time travel. I still think he will ge the scar though.

[KStrat2258]

If Peter has Claire's ability to heal, how would he get (and keep) a scar? Some of the already proposed ideas could answer this, such as the belief that Sylar's "head-splitting" ability is stronger than Peter and Claire's healing abilities, or the possibility of Peter keeping the scar as a reminder or something. I have a different theory, however.

I believe that, in the original timeline (if Hiro of the future never met Peter during episode 5), Peter would somehow manage to survive Sylar's attack which began at the end of episode 18, but would have a scar from it. Hiro would eventually meet Peter, with the scar. Hiro would also realize that Sylar is indestructable with Claire's powers, which is why Hiro had to go back in time (as seen in episode 5) to tell Peter to "save the cheerleader, save the world" before Claire is killed.

So now, in the current reality, Claire is saved by Peter, Sylar does not have the ability to heal, and Peter does have the ability to heal. So I believe Peter will escape his conflict with Sylar without a scar... it'll probably heal completely.

[christian_kryptonian]

Wow man, that was like THEE answer. That makes so much sense. Why else would future Hiro tell himto save her? Peter will NOT have the scar now because future Hiro changd it so Peter met Claire and gained her power. I am very curious if this is correct, what else is different in the future?

[angeloo]

it would change a lot because in future hiros time peter was probably killed by sylar because sylar could heal and peter couldnt

[smallville/hero fan#1]

just so its known the cheerleader with the head cut off isnt claire at all it's jackie and remember that if the brain is damaged it caint heal like when claire had branch in her head so maybe it not being able to heal from the damage to the brain is what gives a scar. because maybe it damaged the brain for too long so it developed a scar instead of completely healing.

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

Agreed on the point that the brain is the seat of all powers and if the brein is damaged the power will not work. In Peters' case though I think he will not be able to completely heal from Sylars' cut because he simply will not have the time due to the intensity of the battle and therefore will only close the wound enough to be able to focus on Sylar thus developing a scar.

[angeloo]

yea but wouldnt he just be able to heal the what he didnt after the fight...? and also what im wondering is what the extent of claires powers are, because the branch in her head she couldve healed in time mayb and just like pushed it out because right after it was out she healed automatically, and she was good with like a bomb going off, nd in fire. oh and back to peters scar i dont think he gets one it was just said to make us think sylar actually does some harm to him, because future hiro said it but theyve changed the future so it isnt the same anymore

[FUZZYWOOKIEE]

You cannot really heal a scar because a scar is technically already healed tissue.

[Skoellya]

Well, in a slightly more grusome theory- if Sylar cuts far enough around Peter's head and his skull moves around a bit *wince* - wouldn't be pretty. If he started healing then it would leave a scar because it wasn't in line. That would be a logical reason to leave a scar, but having said that, I don't think it will happen. He might be too distracted (If he wants to fight Sylar and live he has to concentrate on agressive or evasive abilities, healing is too passive) or he could be KO'd, leaving someone else to save his neck, uh, brains. Or, it might not be the time he gets the scar (a red herring) although it's doubtful, it looked quite painful...

[christian_kryptonian]

I am dying waiting for Heroes to get back. I don't care about anything except finding out if Peter gets his SCAR!! AHHH!!!!

Well, that's no fun. Sylar should really get a bit more creative ... What about a lightening bolt? ;-)

Have you been readin the "Smallville = Harry Potter" thread and decided that it shouyld be Heroes instead? :lol:

[Drakaun]

Well he didn't get the scar in this episode. but I believe Milo, the actor who plays Peter said he was going to get a haircut and a scar. Could be in the future episode or could be in the present.
