There's a goodly number of people, me included, who suspect he can only nullify psionic powers -- mind reading, mind control -- and that it's not a seperate ability ... just a side-benefit of his own psionic talents.

Oooh, that would 'splain why Nathan could fly away.

I think the big challenge for Peter is that his recall method for accessing a power is to think of the person he got it from.

Oh, on Sylar's powers, didn't HRG actually shoot him several times, but he got away really fast? Wouldn't that mean he's got some kind of super healing too? That would be a dupe power since he didn't kill Claire. Or maybe he IS like Peter, and the brain-cutting is for kicks (or what he thinks works).

Analysis: I'm thinking about this show too much.

Conclusion: I LOVE THIS FRELLING SHOW!!!!

Has Peter met The Haitian?

i'm still not sure Peter has to "meet" them per se. i think being in proximity is all it takes and in this case he has been. though, not to his knowledge. it was the rooftop when HRG and Le Haitian were trying to tazer Claude.

That makes me consider how Nathan was able to get away from HRG and "the Haitian" - I think "the Haitian" wanted Nathan to fly away.

i think being in proximity is all it takes and in this case he has been. though, not to his knowledge.

Depends on how close he needs to be, though. I think in every other case, he's had to touch the person. Did he and Sylar touch at any point in Odessa?

I'm also one of Victor's goodly people, given all we've seen. Psionic suppression, ho! (If he can suppress all powers, I still think that's just an extension of his mind-fuddling ability, given that the powers seem to stem from the brain.)

Did he and Sylar touch at any point in Odessa

I think he did, when they were fighting on the roof - before they both (or was it just Peter) went over? Or I could be full of it.

didn't HRG actually shoot him several times, but he got away really fast?

Right, we don't have an explicit explanation for that, yet.

it was the rooftop when HRG and Le Haitian were trying to tazer Claude.

Thanks! I thought I had a memory of them being in the same place at the same time, but I was trying to make it Odessa.

Peter didn't touch Hiro or Matt, did he? Or Claude, at first. That is, he certainly saw Claude before he touched him, and I think joined him in invisibility.

I also think it would make sense that Peter would only be able to access Sylar's telekinesis, since that's all he's seen him use. His subconscious doesn't know about his other powers, so it wouldn't think to access them. Similarly, if he doesn't know what the Haitian can do, I'm not sure he could do it.

Did Isaac tell Peter about his future-painting when they first met? Because that's when he went back and drew the future in a hospital bed.

That is, he certainly saw Claude before he touched him, and I think joined him in invisibility.

Then again, that may just blow everything to bits. He could just absorb automatically, period.

Peter shared Hiro Timestop not only before touching him but before seeing him. I'm pretty sure he can get powers via simple proximity, though we don't know the distance.
