In Adam's plans for achieving Diety Status, does he realize that Peter is a much more powerful god than he is. Peter is both immortal and controls all of the powers on the show. Albeit Peter is incredibly dim witted and gullible, but nonetheless Peter represents a challenge to his godlike EGO no?

Peter is too nice to become a God. And yes, I know Peter became a badass in 5YG, but I'm not talking about that.

Adam knows that he can control peter as long as he doesn't do anything to make Peter loose faith in him. As long as Peter trusts Adam, Adam will be the "God".

As soon as Peter realizes thatAdam's definition of saving the world is by killing most of the people on it; I think Adam will have more than a handful with Peter against him.

and that's exactly it. Adam will be the superior in this equation simply because he knows how to easily manipulate Peter. At the moment all of our Heroes are being manipulated by forces more powerful than they are simply because the truth is being held from them.

Yeahh, if Peter is being controlled by Adam, he is like a toy.

As soon as Adam screws up, though, he's gonna have a handful to fight with.

There is no doubt peter is the more bad*** but i want to know if just taking the head is enough to kill them i mean noah took a head shoot from a big caliber gum that would liquify a human brain and he comes back i mean there should brains scatterd all over. He comes back with just a lil blood. They may well be immortal

Peter barely even knows who he is. There's no way he is more of a super being, at least, not now.

Psyience,

Adam is some 400 years old and has for the longest time believed himself to be (because of his 'immortality') the greatest among all specials (the 'gods') and of course superior to all non-specials (for whom he has no respect or tolerance).

For years, no for decades, he looked for another 'immortal' [see GN#60], an equal...a worthy adversary, to no avail. It wasn't until he encountered the 'clones' that he finally met his match (and retreated!).

Now, he has met Peter. He has temporarily pull the wool over his youthful, less experienced eyes. And, I would imagine, given the opportunity, will kill Peter (take his head*) when he is finished with him.

Yes, Adam knows that this "Impressive!" special would be more than a match for him. And, I would guess, he would not allow there to be any challengers to his 'throne' (as king of the gods).

Creator

*NOTE: Both Victoria and Adam himself have said that the only way to kill him (or another immortal) is by taking his head. That seems to make sense.

Adam has become an aggressive & territorial competitor and like most predatory animals won't tolerate another male in their territory ... But one does have to wonder what will happen when he meets Eve... er, Claire ...

The problem I see is that Peter doesn't keep his thoughts to himself so that gives Adam plenty of time to take him out before Peter gets Adam.

Are we certain that Peter is immortal? Yes, he does have the regenerative ability, but is he always using it to give him the longevity that Claire and Adam have? Mama Petrelli said that Adam was long-lived because his cells continually regenerate. I am not sure Peter's do given the nature of his ability. Perhaps he will just live an elongated life? I just haven't settled on the fact that Peter is immortal. I would like a little confirmation - perhaps using his blood to heal someone. Personally, I hope he isn't cause that would put some limits on his power.

Peter is too lame to become a god.

He doesn't know half his powers and he can't use the ones he does know.


Ohh what a let down in the form of a main character...

That makes sense. I mean... easiest way to toy with someone; he already knows his thoughts, and understands how his mind is working.


If Claire's blood continually regenerates continually, so does Peter's.

I think the idea is that the regeneration is secondary to his empathic memory. Perhaps to use it, he has to trigger it somehow, rather than it being continuously. There was a time when he didn't know how to use his powers away from the source, and we know his powers weren't "continuously active" then. Each of his powers may be switched on or off. If the regeneration power is only on when triggered, then perhaps Peter could age during periods in which he wasn't triggering the power (turning it on).

It's possible that it needs to be turned on, but I sorta doubt that.

By a certain amount of time, considering he used regen a lot last season, iirc, that he doesn't need to turn it on or off anymore, and that it just becomes second nature to him.

Meaning the same could be done with his other powers, provided that he learns how to use them correctly.

Based on the fact he regenerated automatically after falling off of the high school, I think the regeneration is automatic.

Ahh. Yes. I was searching my mind for an example of his automatic regeneration, but couldn't think of it.

Thanks!

lol... don't have to convince ME Peter is godlike.. thats where my name comes from..

that said, gods are all knowing... Peter acts stupider and stupider every episode. my boy's got a while to go.

The irony...

A repeat of what I've said elsewhere, but apropos -- we know the powers originate in the mind, and Peter can pick up new powers just walking down the street in any major urban setting, so how much of his mind is being sucked up just hosting random abilities? let alone trying to use them ... Sylar can get them one at a time, knows what he's getting, and his aptitude ability can integrate them optimally; but not Peter -- and while smart to begin with he was never cynical or a critical thinker ...

Peter's just too damn nice.

Half the reason he was so badass in 5YG is because of how much tougher he was. Once he got some sense into him, he thought more clearly and just... was...

In mythology, I don't recall Hercules or Thor or Loki to be all knowing. They both were immortal, very strong but kept being fooled by higher gods. If I remember right, the only ones that were all knowing was the main gods which were Zues, Odon, and Geas, the rest had to find out with other means, with some exceptions. The god of the dead did know when somebody was going to die.
