In none of the scenarios we've seen so far has Peter's reflection of other heroes' powers affected the original heroes' powers.

Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Feedback loop.
Ayup.
then Peter would no longer have access to the suppressive ability to siphon off... and I have no idea what would happen after that.
Actually, I do. Peter would no longer have the ability to suppress Haitian's suppressive ability, and Haitian would have his power back, and Peter takes on the power, and the loop starts all over again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
'Cept when Matt was trying to mind read him. Feedback loop. As Vonnie said.
Well, it didn't affect Matt's power as such. He just wasn't used to looking into a mirror facing a mirror. It affected him.
If the semantics scan.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
I'll throw it in the mix that Peter taking on and then blocking the Haitian's power wouldn't stop the power from existing in the Haitian, they'd just block each other and have to duke it out with fists, if that's what they wanted to, you know, do :D

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Something just occurred to me re: Peter's dream: he didn't have the scar in the dream, did he? So either (a) his dream-self is a stand-in for Actual Radioactive Dude, or (b) it's really Peter, but he doesn't die, because he has to stick around long enough to acquire some distinctive scarring (though this might be the event that does it). Right?
I also don't know how literally we're meant to take Peter's dreams. He dreamed about Nathan and Heidi's accident, though we don't know if what we saw was his dream or the real thing (and thus, we don't know how closely his dream of the event mirrored reality); and he dreamed about having a conversation with Simone's dad, shortly before he passed away -- a conversation that never actually happened. Have we seen him have any other empathic/prophetic dreams?

this was my first thought.

I don't know why Simone would run toward him with a desperate expression on her face if it were the Radioactive Man.
I've come to the conclusion that it *is* probably Peter. Someone on LJ speculated that Nathan was coming toward him with the grim expression, not because Nathan was evil or anything, but because he planned to grab his about-to-go-nuclear brother and fly out of the populated area. I have to say I like that idea.

Vonnie, yeah, I'm quite attached to that idea myself! *loves on the Petrelli brothers*
