"Nathan responds by using Peter's weakness for brother-touching to distract him so Bennet can incapacitate him. Cold, but very smart."
You'd think after how things turned out after his dad asked him for a hug, Peter would know better.
She was wearing a shitload of makeup. She looked like a fucking doll.
Yeah. She looked terribly fake, which is a shame.
ION, I was talking to a co-worker and he negated my musings that Peter may temporarily steal people's powers ala Rogue in that Nathan flew right after Peter got him out of Pinehearst. So apparently he does only duplicate via touch rather than outright borrowing (much like his empathy ability worked until his training with Dr. Where.) I hope they leave it at that he's not able to train himself back up into keeping all the powers again.
Another random thought I had, and I think this would be kind of fun but highly-unlikely, is that Hiro hasn't really lost his powers, but rather Papa Petrelli leaves the powers really, really weakened to the point where they're indistinguishable from gone. But they're still there. Which means Ando could use his super-charge power to give Hiro the ability to use his, giving them a sort of Wonder Twins effect. Sadly, I really don't see that happening, though.
