I'm hoping that the too-convenient resurrections and healings turn out to come at a nasty, nasty price. Maybe only the ones from Adam work properly. The ones from Peter and/or Claire wind up having some horrible side-effect later on down the line.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I figure they *have* to do something like that. Otherwise no one dies, ever! Hello, over-population.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Why would that be? I can see Peter, but Adam and Claire have the same innate power. Why should one's blood work and the other's not?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Why should one's blood work and the other's not?
Adam's blood is a fine wine? Claire's younger blood is Two Buck Chuck?
Peter's? Grape Soda.
I could be wrong about this ...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I could justify Peter's not working as the blood might be normal once taken outside of his power-mimicking field. But we've seen Adam's and Claire's heal people in essentially identical fashion.

check it: I wonder if Peter's blood can work if Peter uses his telekinetic powers to move his blood through a dead body.

All joking aside, I think Adam and Claire are fairly identical in powers. Peter's a separate case, as his powers are arguably not always on.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Once someone has been injected with super regenerative blood, why wouldn't it last indefinitely? Seems like Nathan, Noah, and now even Maya should all be self healing now. Unless there's a limited shelf life on the healing ability once outside the body of the original generator.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
I'd completely forgotten that Adam had saved Nathan with his blood already. It's like this season, the Hatian Sensation has been beaming out to the viewers, as I keep losing track of things (and not THAT much has gone on, and what has did a big "rinse, lather, repeat"). Or, as I said before, Mo's stupid is contagious.
Yeah, I figure they *have* to do something like that. Otherwise no one dies, ever! Hello, over-population.
Best rationale for Adam's nefarious plan I've heard yet.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Franken,
I never forgot that Adam saved Nathan because that's all Peter could say in response to the 52 people who told him that Adam couldn't be trusted. I think the writers wrote Hiro and Peter to be on opposite sides - Adam killed and saved one of their close family members, but the writers went a bit too far to make them nearly absolute opposites.
