Peter Petrellis Purty Powers

OK, TimB managed to kick my own O.C. into gear, so, here's a list, best as I can remember, of Peter's current skill set.

Power Mimicry (his native power) Flight (from Nathan Petrelli) Prophecy/Paint-the-future (from Isaac Mendez) Space/Time Manipulation (from Hiro Nakamura) Regeneration (from Claire Bennet) Sylar's power set (see below) Telepathy (from Matt Parkman) Invisibility (from 'Claude' Radiation Generation (from Ted Sprague) Super-strength (from Niki Sanders) Phasing[intangibility] (from D.L. Hawkins) Electrodirection (from 'Elle'

Since D.L. was beside Molly Walker and Micah Sanders at the time, Peter should also have Molly's teleolocation and Micah's technopathy, although he hasn't used them.

Peter also may or may not have Eden McCain's Persuasion

Sylar's power set (for TimB, Sylar, aka Gabriel Gray, is the bad guy, who could acquire powers by killing the person, cutting open their heads, and using his native power to understand how the person's power works)

Telekinesis (from the late Brian Davis) Cryokinesis (unknown, possibly the late James Walker) Eidetic Memory (from tl Charli Andrews) Liquification [can make solid objects liquefy] (from tl Zane Taylor) Auropathy [super-hearing] (from tl Dale Smither) Radiation Generation (from tl Ted Sprague)

He may also have, but not be able to use Candice Wilmer's Illusion power, but if he does have it, Peter doesn't, since he would have got it after the Kirby Plaze fight.

He probably had other powers we haven't been shown, since he certainly cut at least three heads open that we don't have a power attributed to.

Other than Candice's power, Peter should have all the powers Sylar had, including his native power to 'understand how things work'.

OK, what powers have I missed?

I am not sure if we know if Peter was close enough, long enough, to acquire all of the powers you list above.

Not counting the Sylar set, the only ones we haven't seen him use are Molly's, Micah's, and Eden's, which is why I listed them as I did. However, if he acquired D.L.'s (and we've seen that he did), then he should have also acquired the kids' powers, since they were both right next to him.

As for the Sylar set, we've seen him use at least one of Sylar's acquired powers, so he can certainly acquire them, and should certainly have acquired Sylar's 'understanding' power.

so does this mean that peter's telepathy will evolve like matt parkman's or will he stay at the level that matt had when peter acquired the power?

He certainly has Persuasion. The writer's have confirmed it.

Peter absorbed Radiation directly from Ted, before Sylar stole the power.

It's possible that Peter could have Illusion. It depends on when Candice showed up to drag Sylar away.

We have an ID on another victim: David. He was present in the graphic novel 'Turning Point.' However, his power was not revealed (the focus of this novel is Audrey).

There are conflicting theories about how many powers Sylar has: -Mohinder points out that 6 people on the list (including Charlie and James, possibly including Brian Davis, but not including Eden/Sarah Ellis) were killed in a manner consistent with Sylar's MO. -Audrey says she has chased a trail across a dozen states. -Sylar's mother said that Sylar was a world traveler. Some people point out that Sylar's version of the map including notes and pictures that contain The Symbol, and posit that these are people that Sylar attacked. These people were from all over the world. -Sylar brought his mother snow globes from all 50 states except Oregon.

Angela's power. Dallas Petrelli's power. Charles Deveaux's power.

Depending on timing, Linderman's healing and Kaito Nakamura's power.

Adam Monroe's power.

He could also have all kinds of other powers. All it takes is walking past someone on the street, it seems.

BTW, most of this is covered in the FAQ for the group.

One thing I wonder: If he met another empath, would he gain all the powers that empath absorbed?

Charles Deveaux's strange form of empathic dreaming.

As someone else pointed out not too long ago, Peter was pretty close to the Haitian when the latter and Noah came to bag him and Claude on the roof of the Deveaux Bldg., so Peter should have the Haitian's power.

Angela Petrelli's power, whatever the hell it is.

I forget which came first: Papa Petrelli's death or Peter's manifesting. If the latter, then he has his father's unspecified power as well.

Now that we know that powers don't have to be unique to an individual, there's a very slim chance that in the last four months, Peter picked up phasing from someone other than D.L., which would mean there's the same slim chance that he didn't necessarily copy the powers of the kids at Kirby Plaza.

Peter should sell some of these on eBay since he's not using them.

Yep, that's why I have it listed in Peter's powerset, separate from Sylar's.

I tried to limit it to powers he has shown or, in the case of the kids and Eden, powers he can be inferred to have because we saw the exposure. Candice didn't drag Sylar away until after Peter went bang, so it's not likely he acquired hers then. At least it's no more likely than him passing her on the street sometime.

Again, I'm trying to stay within what we've seen. Angela and Deveaux, definitely exposed, Dallas, we don't know that he was exposed after his power started to manifest (we don't know whether it started to manifest before or after Dallas' death). We've never seen Peter exposed to Kaito, so that puts the possibility into the 'randomly passed on the street' category.

We haven't seen, so far, that he has a power. I'm not listing powers based on future spoilers either.

Presumably alt.tv.heroes, not rec.arts.tv.

Well, he has Brian Davis' telekinesis, through Sylar, so I assume the answer is yes.

We've seen that he picked up DL's phasing, and Niki's strength, and he was just as close to Molly and Micah, for just as long, so he should have their powers too.

I thought that was by the TK.

He can't really do that until he finds the person with the power to copy or transfer his power to other people

Not necessrily. Jessica had to run over to to him during the fight in order for him to get super-strength. We never saw him phase before Ireland, so he could have met D.L. at some point during the intervening four months.
