Full Version: how peter was able to remember
9th Wonders Boards > Episode Discussions > Season Two > 2.8: Four Months Ago
qasrose
The reason I think Peter was able to remember everything was because he obtained Charlies power..
themightytruk
I would have thought it would have had something to do with it since he should have the super-memory from Sylar, but Adam said that he could use his regeneration power to regenerate the damage to his brain, so apparently the regeneration power was what returned his memories.
Begemot Geroi
When did he get Charlie's power?

I think his remembering had more to do with Angela than anything else.

He got it the same way he got Brian Davis' telekinesis. From Sylar. Peter should also have liquification, melting, cryokinesis, and whatever other powers Sylar had at their encounter.

I think Sylar has to be activly using the power around Peter for Peter to absorb it. But this is only with Sylar - I realize Peter can take on an ability from others without them using it like he did with Ted.

But yeah as far as getting his memories back, it was the fact that he could reverse the damage done to his brain.

Didn't Adam say that Peter could regenate his brain?

Someone already answered this for you in the second post in this topic:

Actually, I also was thinking that Charlies power might have returned his memory. But further looking into her power, they must seperate the memory power into different categories. Charlie had the power to remembered things she read. Monica has the ability to remember movements to perform the same action.

So in a way, she would have helped Peter remember what he read, but not all that he forgot.

But, he dosen't knwo he has that power like cyronekis(?) and liquidification.

Well, in 5YG, I believe he was using cryokinesis against Sylar in one of the last scenes.

The only suggestion of him having cryokinesis in the scene is that his hands glow blue - he doesn't actually freeze anything. Also the fact that Sylar's red/orange glow is fire so automatically you're lead to think of the opposite.

The lightening ability he got from Elle looks very similar to what he had in 5YG.
themightytruk
I think you guys are confused. Future Peter's hands glowed red (radiation) and Future Sylar's glowed blue (cryokinesis). I still think Peter should have all of Sylar's powers. I think it was brought up in an interview or Behind the Eclipse once.

Future Peter used fire/pyrokinesis, not radiation. It's fire and ice.

In the episode commentary, they also say that it's "fire and ice".

He was able to remember because he obtained Adam's power, which apparently made him repair his own mind and get his thoughts back. Peter was never in Charlie's presence so he couldn't have gotten her power.

Argh. Yeah, that's what I meant. Cryo, pyro...they look the same. Sort of.
KevinFTW
lol.

It has been confrimed that Peter got all of Sylar's abillities.
ShinyHunter
Arg! Need to really re-watch season 1 . . . it's been a while. You have to admit, it'd be some pretty cool continuity if it was Peter with the lightening in 5YG though wink.gif

Writer Joe Pokaski stated that Peter has all of Sylar's powers in the March 2007 Wizard World Q&A session. The video used to be on NBC.com, but I don't know if they still have it.

Peter wasn't in Brian Davis's presence either, so why does he have TK? If you remember Brian Davis had Tk not Sylar who took his power.

Peter has TK from Sylar. He got it from him in Homecoming either a] when Sylar was hurtling locker doors at him or b] when they fell off the stands together and Sylar used TK to slow the fall.

Writer Joe Pokaski confirmed in the March 2007 Wizard World Q&A session (with Tim Kring present), that only being in the presence of Sylar gives Peter all of his powers. (Whether they are actually used or not). This means that as of the meeting between Sylar and Peter in (Parasite), Peter now can be confirmed to have absorbed these additional powers: (even though he may not be aware he now has them)

Cryokinesis (from Sylar in Homecoming)
Enhanced hearing (from Sylar in Parasite)
Enhanced memory (from Sylar in Homecoming)
Intuitive aptitude (from Sylar in Homecoming)
Liquefaction (from Sylar in Parasite)
Mental manipulation (from the Haitian in Unexpected)
Persuasion (from Eden in Collision)

Best I can do right now, I'll find some later

Well I asked for a link to where you got that specific info but okay.

That's lame man. It's too easy for Peter to get the abilites. It's already bad enough that he can get them when the person is 50 feet away.

Quit giving me greif okay Geroi ? wink.gif It's not that simple because I looked and if it was then you'd have given me a link directly to the Wizard Q&A to prove your point. Instead you gave me a link to an IGN board (which is about as reliable as imdb) where the info posted is second hand with no link to where that person got their info.

The closest thing I could find to a transcript was a summarised version of events from the Comic Book Resource.

"Another attendee asked if Peter Petrelli could absorb all of the powers that Sylar currently possesses, and Pokaski responded with a resounding yes."

The operative word there is 'could'. It doesn't say anything one way or another about whether or not Sylar has to be using them. It doesn't say that Peter has absorbed all of Sylar's abilites either.

Google search for Wizard World Q&A 2007.

I'm sure you'll find a link to your answer there.

Edit: And a google search for "Has Peter absorbed all of Sylar's powers?"

*Sigh* I finally found the link. And, that quote above is inaccurate.

http://www.nbc.com/Heroes/video/video_disp...html#mea=120852

The audio isn't perfect, but here goes.

Random person: When Peter is close to Sylar, did he get all of Sylar's powers? Or does he power(?) to kill someone to get their powers?
Jeph Loeb: We're going to ask Joe because he's nodding and making the yummy sound.
Joe Pokaski: Yeah, Peter, when he's close to Sylar, and now he found out that when he's far away from Sylar, he does get all the powers that Sylar has gotten so far.
Audience: Ahhhh.
Joe Pokaski: That's why he had telekinesis when Claude was attacking him with the stick.

Great success! The quote I posted was a summarized version of what was asked and what was answered so it's not like it wasn't accurate. Just a matter of semantics I suppose.

So I guess Pete does have goo power . . I'm disappointed. You'd think with all the trouble he was having controlling all his various powers in s1, standing next to Sylar would make his head explode.

Yes, I can type keywords into google too. The important thing here is whether the links provided are actually relevant to the search. The first search brings up a ton of blogs and recaps of WW '07 but no transcript which is what I was looking for and yes I searched with the word 'transcript' as well. The second search brings up a ton of message boards topics where people are having the same discussion we're having. When I said I searched for it myself, I didn't mean figuratively.

Joe Pokaski says that Peter has gotten all of Sylar's powers. Your summary says that "It doesn't say that Peter has absorbed all of Sylar's abilites [sic]."

Ergo, your summary was (slightly) inaccurate. Doesn't matter if Sylar's used the powers in front of Peter or not, according to Mr. Pokaski; Peter has all of Sylar's abilities.

The quote I posted wasn't my summary. It was the summary provided by Comic Book Resource. They were the ones who chose to use the word 'could' in reviewing the question. Since I wanted my theory to hold true (and since I couldn't find other info at the time), I chose to take it as that Peter could absorb the abilities but not that he necessarily has. This is why I said it's a matter of semantics.

I don't understand why you keep telling me that Peter does in fact have all of Sylar's abilities since I accepted this information after KevinFTW's post.

Hey guys take a chill pill. =)

So in conclusion, Peter has everyones abillity that was in Kirby Plaza and that includes Molly and Sylar.

It's a possibility. We probably won't find out until season 3.

Didn't we just talk about this or was ir an other thread?

NVM it was another thrawd butI can proivde links that give confirmation that Peter has everyone from Kirby Plaza's abillity.

I know I was just pointing out another person that Peter never met but recieved his power through Sylar.
