Yeah, I agree that regeneration makes you immortal. Up to a point aging is growth and development, and regeneration does not stop it. Past that point aging is damage and regeneration fixes it, just like it fixes any kind of damage. A bit of a wank, but not much of one.

Anyone want to take bets that Elle's father's name is Adam?
This was my immediate thought: "But Elle doesn't look half-Japanese."
It took me far too long to see my error.

So, is Adam Takezo Kensei Elle's father AND Peter and Nathan's father?
Why would he be Peter and Nathan's father?

Some of us think that the dark secret in the Petrelli family is that Papa Petrelli isn't really dead.

While I don't discount that, I think him turning out to be Adam goes past "Holy shit!" into "You gotta be fucking kidding me!" territory (aka JJ-land). Papa didn't "die" that long ago IIRC, and I think Nathan and Peter would have noticed their dad not getting any older.

Also the comics have strongly indicated that Papa P did not have any powers.

I always thought the big secret was how Papa Petrelli died. I don't think he committed suicide.

I don't think he did either. I suspect it is going to be related to the death of Hiro's dad.

As in, he was also murdered by Adam Monroe?
You know, Adam Monroe could have killed Kaito Nakamura before Hiro was born - thus completely preventing the whole thing. But I guess he wanted Hiro to be born so that he could be the angry revenge guy and deal with Hiro personally.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Also the comics have strongly indicated that Papa P did not have any powers.
Of course, if he were a thousand year old immortal he might make some effort to hide that.
It would be fun if Adam were Grampa, but I don't think he is.
I'd like to know more about Suresh Sr. Did he end up dead because he, too, was dumb as a box of hair?
