Peter himself recovered from a shard of glass in his head just like Claire. This is just a show and becomes exactly what the writers make it to be, otherwise Peter can't die.
The only thing is we know that Claire and Adam can survive strain 138 of the virus, but I believe it can kill Peter, so it seems that Claire and Adam do have and edge over Peter, but he should still be able to heal.
Also, it also may be possible that only Adam's and Claire's blood can heal and maybe not Peter's or Sylar's. I Peter is somehow dead, some blood from Claire should make him all better.

As always, I have to ask, Who has the "Light" to stop the formula?

I don't like how scare guy was beating Sylar, in the past (or present) he was no match for Sylar with a bank full of people to strengthen him. Sylar should have taken him down without braking a sweat, even if he was trying not to use his powers.

I don't see how Sylar's powers help Peter as I though it was for small things like how powers work. What he needs is the poser of that guy who can see probability, hopefully he will be the new character and then Peter will see what he needs to do.

Sylar was holding back, you could tell. I was kind of pissed they randomly brought back the "apocalypse" power. What kind of stupid ass power just makes you explode?
 
My question is fairly simple: Why doesn't Peter have the Haitian's power? Shouldn't be have it and be able to block everyone else's? Why hasn't Sylar gone for it, as it seems one of the best powers to have. Also, why doesn't Peter carry a gun around with him to kill the Haitian whenever he shows up?

Also, Claire and Peter don't seem to have the same power in regards to healing. She's immortal, she'll never die. Whereas Peter seems to just have the regenerative part of it, it's not physically built into him. In that sense, I believe that he CAN die when the Haitian is around. Claire must know this or she wouldn't be going after him.

Because the Haitian would block Peter's power....same with Sylar...

A fair point, but can't Sylar kill him without using his powers (gun, knife, etc) and take his power once he's dead? Or does the victim have to be alive?
 
how did Sylar get the exploding power?

He only gets powers from looking at their brain and killing them(except claire) Well, didn't that guy die on his own?

I would imagine the victim has to be alive but not 100% sure on that point.
 
The question I kept asking: Did peter all of a sudden forget he had invisibility, why in the world would he expose himself like that to get shot, esp when he's out in the open explaining things to past Peter?

It was critical to the plot that he die. Nothing else to it, really. Eventually with the mess that Peter is (given his abilities) the writers eventually have to let some things happen that really shouldn't. It's not supposed to be logical. I have the same analyzing problem.

From 1st season, Sylar flipped the transport that the captured exploding man was in. While secured and upside down the exploding man was helpless as Sylar went in and cut his head open.

Ha ha. We think alike. I mentioned that a few posts back. For someone so powerful Peter doesn't really use his powers all that wisely.

It should be obvious by now that Peter is a moron.

He's got so many powers that I imagine it's hard for him to really consider which ones to use and when. Also, the story would be so damn boring if he was invisible all the time.

The Haitian dude was at the scene of the shooting and prevented both peters from using any of their powers.

The scene where you should be asking why peter didn't use the full potential of his powers is when he's at sylar's house. So many ways he could have prevented the outcome of that.
 
Didn't Parkman's partner shoot Sylar like 8 times in the chest in the 3rd or 4th episode of the series? How did he get up and walk away from that?

And can't Peter "learn" the Haitian's power thus negating everyone else's power when he's near them? Course you could say Peter's power is to learn powers and when he's near the haitain his learning power doesn't work so he can't learn the Haitian's power, but that takes too long to say.

I think the victim has to be alive, because he has to "see and understand" how their brain is actively working to achieve their power.

I also think you're right about the physical relationship with Claire's power. Her blood itself has healing power, so she can always heal (as long as she isn't drained by a vampire? 😀 ) Peter's probably relies on brain power (even if unconscious/involuntary). When brain activity ceases, so do his powers).

But hey, I've been wrong before. I though Nikki's shit was going to be based on personality changes and adrenal chemistry...but noooo, they're fucking triplets.

It's more because this is trying to be realistic.

Claire is trying to learn to fight and harness her power...as she said she can't die but she can't to much either.

Peter is like someone all of a sudden getting $100 Billion dollars. I am sure the first year or two even they are going to do some stupid things until they realize the power that kind of coin commands.

Sylar / Gabriel I am not sure if is really Satan / Gabriel...in his current/future version apparently he somehow learned he was bad.

For the Fear guy in the bank, by the time the police/feds/papertech got there I am sure they weren't afraid anymore so the fear dude lost his edge.

The show is designed to be entertaining not MythBusters.

Well Sylar would have no power around the Haitian. He is like the no mans land...and for the same reason probably why peter can't absorb his power.

I think we are going to get hit with some plot twist one day involving this unnamed dude.

Think more Phoenix than ending himself.
 
Didn't we already discuss why peter/claire could be killed days ago?



For the haitain-peter connection, peters power is the ability to gain any power he comes into contact with. The range of said "contact" has never been discussed, but with the haitain traveling around like the center of a black hole - there is nothing for peter to learn similar to the reason a black hole appears black.

Of course this is until they figure they need a plot change to do something and change this. 😉
 
My wife is catching up on the last episode...Claire says no, Peter (future) is NOT dead.

I guess it's like that time Peter had the glass shard in his head...they pulled it out and he came back to life.

Why doesn't future Peter's facial scar heal if he has regenerative ability?

He could had gotten the scar before getting the ability to heal.

You have to remember that different things have happen to each of them.

Nah, remember he got the ability when he first met Claire in Season 1? Future Peter is just a progressive of how things were, so he had the ability already...I'm sure they'll explain it soon anyway 😀

She only said that because the present day Peter got away; only the future Peter died.
