Full Version: Peters Flying Ability
I think the only way Peter can fly is having is brother near him. Everytime time he has failed at flying he has been by himself, but when with his brother he has sort of flew everytime.

Yeah I agree with you also it seems like he does need his brother
Peter got the short end of the stick then if he can only use his powers when he is around other Heroes. I'm hoping this is wrong and he can fly in his own right without tapping into the powers of other Heroes.
You know, I don't think flying is the only ability he has. In the pilot, he said he's been having 'dreams' that he can fly. In the 2nd episode, he drew the picture of him walking on air before he actually did it, ala Isaac. So, I don't think flying is the whole extent of his abilities.
As I think has already been stated, Peter's power is absorption(sp?) of powers ala Rogue or maybe not touch related. He flew after his brother caught him and then again when in his presence, but not when he tried too in the playground. Also he drew that picture after being in the presence of Issac and touching him while trying to help him in the studio.

Are you kidding? If Peter is in the presence of another Hero, he can automatically do whatever they can do. That means, the more heroes he's around, the more powerful he becomes. He powers could be potienially limitless. Once he learns how his powers work, he could kick Sylar's butt in a heartbeat.
Well, in theory...
This about this: What happens if Peter gets around Niki and absorbs HER power?
What if this has already happened?
This makes the idea of Peter being Sylar seem a LOT more plausible -- it definitely seems to me that Sylar has ALL (or most) of the powers we've seen in the other "heroes," if you consider what we've seen him do (as far as I can tell, the only abilities we HAVEN'T seen any sign of Sylar exhibiting are Matt's mind-reading abilities and Isaac's precognitive ability). So far, we've seen signs that Sylar has the following abilities:
Regeneration (Claire's ability) - healing after being shot by Matt in Episode 3.
Teleporation/Time Travel (Hiro's ability) - travelling great distances and accomplishing large tasks in short periods of time (cleaning out his apartment before the police arrive, travelling from India back to the U.S., etc.).
Flight / telekinesis (Nathan's ability) - flying to escape from Matthew at the FBI office in Episode 3 (and if flight is a telekinetic ability, then it could be used to levitate and "control" OTHER items, such as the female FBI agent's gun).
The ability to travel/view things via mirrors and reflections (part of Niki's mirror-related abilities?) - unconfirmed speculation on this one because Niki's abilities seem rather ill-defined at the moment, but it sure seemed as though SOMEONE was watching Mohinder and Eden through the magnifying glass when they first entered Sylar's apartment in Episode 3.
Add in Niki's split personality issue, and if someone like Peter ALSO possessed Niki's abilities, there's a strong possibility that he could also have a split personality / "dark half" that he isn't even aware of -- and if that's the case, then his "dark half" would ALSO have all of his abilites (and then some, perhaps).

I think the "Heroes" powers are affected by their emotions.
It's like Stephen King's "The Talisman" when Lester (Speedy) Parker gives Jack the magic juice (we later find out that this magic juice was nothing more then cheap wine without an ounce of magic properties) that enables him to flip between dimensions. We later find out that Jack can "flip" on his own but he needed the magic juice crutch at the beginning of the story to enable the process.
It's the same way in Heroes. When Peter is in the presence of his brother he is so determined to show him he is just as capable that his emotions run high. And, when Peter's emotions are at there peak he literally can walk on air.
I think it's this way for all the "Heroes" until they learn how to control their own special powers. Until then, we will continue to see their powers manifest themselves in times of stress and emotion.

I agree with this theory. I think it is somehow connected to their emotions, at least till they get used to it.

I second that!
I think, at least in the brothers' case, that their abilties are heavily tied to their emotions. Well, at least for now, since it's the beginning. Like I've said in all the other thread, in all the instances when Peter and Nathan flew, they were under extreme emotional stress.

I'm pretty certain that Peter has "Absorb" abilities. As already noted before, he can only fly when his brother is around. He was able to draw an image of himself fly-walking to his brother AFTER he was in proximity to Isaac. Also the "theory" that Peter = Sylar would be nice, it can't be true, because Peter has no idea who Suresh is. Even though they DID have the same book (Suresh's Theory), it was probably just a coincidence though.
