so who do we know that took the formula

Scott (the soldier / the guy from 4400)
Ando
Peter

and possibly Mohinder

but here is my question, for Scott and Ando they passed out before the power took place. however Peter got his empath ability back right away. possibly Mohinder when the vat of gatorade fell onto him healed his scales without passing out like he did the first time at the harbor.

so, why didn't peter pass out first? is it that his body was primed for it, similar to how it was described that Nathan came from the right lineage by Arthur and Angela?

I'd definitely say that it's because he originally had powers. Also why I'd say it was actually definite that he got the same power back.

yeah i was under the impression that they passed out due to their body redoing its dna and the body usually needs to go unconscious when doing any major work such as long term memory and recovering energy.

so peter's body wouldn't need to reconfigure just reactivate a past trait.

I think Nathan said all the Marines got the formula

Yeah, Peter has already has powers. His body was used to handling them. Maybe for other people it is like when you download something big to your computer. It has to reboot itself in order to put that new thing into use.

If I remember correctly, he asked Tracy how many had received it, and she told him that it was just the one so far. Then Peter started wrecking everything.

yeah nathan had thought that they went on with the plan. he lated asked scott. how many had been injected and he says tracy got worried so only he got the formula.

It would be definite that peter got the same ability back because mo stated early in the season that everyones dna reacts differently to the formula
