Okay how about this.
I can't read back to everything cause there's just too much but what if Papa Petrelli didn't kill himself by jumping off the roof, but he could fly. So he was up there for a reason but little did he know the Haitian was around.... and splat. So he sort of owes Claire for killing her grandfather - that's why he's so nice to her.
And any votes for the guy in the picture being Linderman? It'd be bad for Sylar to get all Linderman's goodies...

holy crap, that's a good thought. I didn't even realize that's how he killed himself.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The Haitian can nullify powers, right? Was there no opportunity for him to resolve last week's problem by doing so? Why wouldn't HRG beeline for him instead of a syringe?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Well, do we really honestly truly know this? If so, it's the first case of someone having two distinct powers (memory wipeage + power supression).
I'm trying to think of times we've seen someone's power nullified. When Matt was at the paper company and couldn't read HRG's mind. When else?

Someone could have pulled the same trick on Papa Petrelli as Claude did on Peter, but he didn't manage to start flying on time, or there's something else that affects people's powers, such as whatever was going on with Hiro's powers. Do we know if Papa P "jumped" off that same rooftop?

I think Sylar's power got nullified at some point, which is how he got captured.

Littlebug says that once the powers have begun you can't stop them. The Haitian is useless once someone has started....but that first day in the bar with Greg G, he was using and then hit a void so...
hmmm..

And didn't Eden get captured because she couldn't 'convince' the Haitian to let her go?

Love the idea that it was that same rooftop!
