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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If having another hero's blood means you get their power, then everyone is a potential Sylar.

I don't think it works like that. I think it's more that, because the Claire/Adam power is healing/regeneration the power works on whatever system it's in. Whether that grants the blood recipient that power, I don't know, though I suppose a case could be made for it.

On the other hand, if you receive an infusion of, say, Maya blood I don't think you'd get all "I can kill a town with my emo" because the power is not related to that sort of thing.

Does that make sense at all?

Disturbingly, yes.
