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.
Gunn: Well, how horrible is this thing? Lorne: I haven't read the Book of Revelations lately, but if I was searching for adjectives, I'd probably start there.

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

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

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.

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.

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.

I know - that's why I can't believe I forgot it. Maybe the anvil hit me too hard and I got amnesia.

Compassionately intolerant

The anvils must have hit me just as hard because this never even occurred to me. Somehow I assumed the regenerative event for each of those characters was a one-off.
Hm. Okay. That might work. But then, that would mean Noah has a power now...right after I was swayed to the argument that it would be better for him to just be badass because of his inherent badassedness.
Hm.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
How quickly does blood get replaced in the human body? I'd view that as an upper time limit to how long the regenerative powers could last.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If having another hero's blood means you get their power, then everyone is a potential Sylar.
