I think Vortex is right. I think at the beginning though, Peter had a different time harnessing his newly-gained powers than the others. Their natural powers (healing, flying, etc.) bubbled up in them, and the power that bubbled up in him was the power to suck in other people's powers. Controlling/harnessing the use of those was something he needed to learn to do. At first, he did it by focusing. Now he's used to having them.
That's beautiful. Or taken literally, incredibly gross.

What is even happening?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Huh. Nathan was in the military, too.
I'd lay money that Papa Petrelli didn't have Powers, even though Mama does.

Maybe with movie poster backlighting.

Debet...
at least half of your white font is completely resolved in the comics. At least that is my understanding.

Le n, I know. I read the comic (that's why I wfed). He met Linderman, who did have powers, but that doesn't absolutely prove that Petrelli didn't, too. Unless I'm mis-remembering.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Okay, you raise a good point. I just drew a firm line that Papa Petrelli didn't have powers given how he reacted during the war and that he didn't mention special powers when Linderman showed up years later.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
DE, I thought it was canonical that Nathan had served in the military. It was in his campaign ad or something.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
I think it's fairly clear that Papa Petrelli doesn'thave powers, and that they were inherited from Mom, who Petrelli and Linderman probably met during the course of their work.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Victor, I would go one further, on the second to last page of the comic we see Petrelli's wife and a baby. So I wonder if his wife was hiding her powers all this time...

You know, you're right. I wonder if that detail was a mistake (there's been a couple inconsistencies, although I'm hard-pressed to recall hem) or if Mama Petrelli did indeed have powers and hid them all that time. Maybe SHE'S the REAL reason Linderman got back in touch with Papa. You can kinda see Linderman discovering who Papa married and thinking, "Boy! This is gonna be FUNNY!"
