Fact: Peter can borrow Heroes' powers
Fact: Peter has a significant scar in the future, likely on his face
Fact: Claire can regenerate
Fact: Peter is charged with the task of saving the cheerleader

Prediction:

Peter will be killed or seriously injured, incurring the scar on his face. Peter will be healed by his proximity with Claire. He will have a scar because the expression of his borrowed abilities seems to be weaker than the original.

What do you think?

Completely agree, it is what I expected as well

I agree...go back to the painting of Peter looking up while lockers are about to fall on him! You might be on to something!

That makes sense.

Another idea is that maybe taking on another power somehow becomes to strong for him, in turn leaving a physical scar.

i don't think thats the case because why would peter have a scar from saving the cheerleader when hiro came from the future and told him to save the cheerleader...if it wasn't for hiro coming back and telling him he might have just went home with mohendir and not even thinking about a cheerleader or anything..the scar could possible come from an attempt of sylar trying to kill him and maybe not knowing what his power is he tries to cut his head open..and if sylar can socall regenerate as well then peter heals himself as he's being cut maybe and escapes somehow...who knows

But if hiro didn't go back and tell Peter what to do, then the world would be doomed. Remember the say. "Save the Cheerleader, Save the World." If he didn't come back and tell him, what would happen. How would they know that they have to save Claire?

If peter steals Claire's powers to heal himself from death or very bad wound, then peter would not have a scar because Claire's powers are a complete heal. The reason why she has no evidence for the QB's attack.

I think CK explained that going on the assumption that Peters "borrowed" powers are not as strong as if they were being used by the original owner.

His powers probably aren't as strong YET...lets remember, the first time he took issac's power he drew stick figures..this time around he was able to paint on canvas..thats a significant step up in skills if you ask me. also note..that when peter punched nathan in episode 3 or 4 (i forget) nathan started bleeding, and when he meets with simone in the rain, she says to him (Peter) "you're bleeding". I'm speculating that Peter may not only abosrb the other hero's powers, but also their weaknesses. (Unless its just something between him and nathan because they are related).

maybe he was bleading because of his bros bodyguard throwing him against the wall thats what i thought but you could be right dunno as for the scar i have no idea i doubt he could aquire it around clair because he would use her powers to heal himself and there wouldnt be a scar so well just have to wait for next week

AHHH! Time travel head explosion!

</tangent>

I think the OP idea is a good possibility. Remember, future Hiro almost didn't recognize Peter without the scar, meaning Peter probably either got it before meeting Hiro or very shortly afterwards, thus probably during or after the homecoming rescue.

Then again, with the artistic ability, when Peter was painting the picture, he was pretty much painting, tracing even, OVER an image he was seeing. It's easy just to match colors.

i agree that future Hiro almost didn't recognize Peter without the scar, meaning Peter probably either got it before meeting Hiro or very shortly afterwards. but this means that peter did'nt get this from sylar or trying to save claire, because his in new york and has no idea how to find claire. I don't think peter or issac will go. this is a mission for the cop (i forget his name). his going back too the fbi to help the find sylat thus finding claire.

that's what I thought, he got his scar before Hiro met him for the first time

so it might as well be next week

I like this theory and agree with it 100%.

Also i think Hiro and Ando appear at Homecoming AFTER the Peter fights Sylar (cause i think it was sylar really injuring or killing peter for getting in his way of the cheerleader) cause the Homecoming Banner already had blood on it in that painting issac drew. Also in the painting Hiro and Ando looked shocked at what happened meaning they just arrived therefore Peter already had the scar so Hiro never met him without it.

I'm guessing that Peter gets hit in the face with a locker door at the Homecoming get-together that is coming up.

(But I have also heard that he has a run-in with Sylar and his brains are almost spilled.)

I agree with you I think that Hiro and Ando will meet Peter with his face messed up after the fight (or after Sylar tries to take his brain and fails) in the locker room. My question is what prevented Sylar from taking Peters brain?

as far as my hypotheses go claire would die - thus creating the situation we have now where hiro goes back to prevent it. but that's where things get tricky. then there would be no need for Hiro to go back and tell peter to save claire so he wouldn't. and thus begins a vicious cycle where clair would be saved, then not saved, then saved, then not saved, etc. from there some theorize that the fabric of time would be destroyed and the universe would cease to exist. others would claim that somehow time would fix itself and it would seem as if it never happened. I would hope that peter tells Hiro what to say and when to go back so that it avoids the slip into that cycle.

isnt the space-time continuum fun?

Good prediction with sound logic. I think we will find out soon enough. Anyone have some screen caps of Isaacs pantings? Specifically the one with the lockers falling? I unfortunatly had to watch the last episode while I was at work.

They still could have found their way down to Odessa, TX and fought Sylar, but were too late in that timeline to save Claire, without Hiro getting Peter in the right place to get Issac, Hiro, and Ando all moving to the same location soon enough.

I personally don't think Peter will end up getting his scar. I think that saving Claire is going to stop him from getting it...

That could be very likely. The Future Hiro is attempting to save is more than likely a future that exist where the cheerleader was not saved. Right now everything revolves around this cheerleader and what happens to her and her would be rescuers.

My guess is he will get a scar of an "S"
