That is still a mystery. Hopefully we'll find out more once the series resumes on January 22, 2007.

There are a few theories floating around at the moment. The most popular seems to be that "Nuke Man" is being held in the same facility as Peter. But then again, if Peter can possess other people's abilities while he's near them, he wouldn't be affected by the radiation since "Nuke Man:" isn't. It is possible that while his ability is to take on other people's powers, it might not be exact (meaning he might only get 80% of the power, which would explain why he was able to fly when with his brother, but not very well). This could also be a result of his run-in with Sylar at Claire's school. If he only had 80% of Claire's healing power then there still could be some sort of internal injury going on.

Peter's power is to leech others powers how can he be having pre-cognitive dreams if he wasn't next to someone with the same ability. As to his sickness, that is a mystery I was agreeing with Rhoq in that he had internal damage and didn't fully heal, but then he met Claire again and still didn't heal.

Also who says her dad has power? If he did why didn't the Indian dude have him on the list? He had everyone else, he even called Claire's dad if his list is incomplete it is also somewhat irrelevant because it would also mean that not everyone on it has powers.

The Sylar/Peter fight would be an interesting one, because while Sylar was trying to kill Peter he would be leeching his powers and fighting him with the same ones he's trying to kill Peter with. :: Drool :: Let's just hope they don't CGI it.

Eden's power was the best, which makes you wonder why it didn't work against Sylar, also I believe it is the Hatian who cancels out power, otherwise why did they show him when the mind reading cop was deliberating with the FBI chick (he's probably going to end up in bed with) about why he couldn't use his powers.

Too bad Hiro's gf couldn't survive she was hot, not in the classical sense but I was strangely drawn to her. And her powers were interesting because they mimick my real life

.

Claire's dad definitely works for the government, he has too much available to him for it to be someone else, unless it's that dude who corrupted the Patrelli's dad and is working on flyguy atm and bought that painting too. that would explain a few things.

Caliban · « **Reply #53 on:** December 07, 2006, 02:28:03 PM »

What about the painting Isaac did? Either Hiro gets the sword from time traveling and then when coming back he messed up and ends up in Jurassic Park, or there is someone that can tranform into any wild beast or just dinosaurs hahaha that would be hilarious.

Oh and I totally loved how Hiro said "I have to find/get that sword!", he looked so determined he didn't even care he was facing a T-Rex.

Ceric · « **Reply #54 on:** December 07, 2006, 04:25:53 PM »

Peter's been having Pre-Cog dreams since the first episode of the series. I think it's part of his ability.
On the whole Haitian thing. While the Dad can Nullify his powers for himself he could no stop him from reading Claire's mind. I think that would be the explanation. Sort of like the Haitian isn't always around when the Dad was dealing with Eden.

I think Peter con Mimic 100% of the person power. He just can't weld it. Also I don't think he had enough time around Claire for everything to fix. Though will he get a second personality around Nikki?

Hiro knows he want die because Future Hiro exists. But on the flipside Future Hiro was in the past and does not necessarily have to come true.

Christopher Eccleston - the ninth doctor - is to appear in January apparently.

If that's true then expect blatant hints and homages!

MaryJane · « **Reply #56 on:** December 08, 2006, 09:32:00 AM »

I don't know what that name is supposed to mean plug but it means absolutely nothing to me... so hint away :-).

Caliban, Hiro can also travel backwards in time... so he can go pre-historic. It might be a sword that was destroyed or lost forever when whateverthehell killed the dinosaurs happened. If he can kill a T-Rex with it I wonder what else it can do. On a side note, despite the movies the T-Rex wasn't existant in the Jurassic age.

As for Nicki I think one of two things happened. She either developed a second personality and only that personality can use her powers of super strength(?) for now, or her sister had super strength and upon her death her consciousness was somehow transfered into Nicki, either way I'm not going to like her character unless Nicki can use the powers herself.

I guess Peter has been having pre-cog dreams about himself before.

I still say Claire's dad doesnt have any powers, Eden listened to him because he helped her, or the Haitin used his ability to convince that he did, and that made her loyal, or she believed in the cause like Gabriel in The Patriot. Why didn't she use her powers on mohindir(sp?) she just chose not to, she's wasn't evil, although she was exactly good either.

Caliban · « **Reply #57 on:** December 08, 2006, 10:11:45 AM »

I know that Hiro can travel backwards, duh he went back to try and save memory-girl.

I know a T-Rex isn't from the jurassic period, I mentioned it as a joke.

He was the ninth doctor in doctor who.

MaryJane · « **Reply #59 on:** December 09, 2006, 11:14:01 AM »

I still don't know what that means,

but as mentioned in the new topic I'm about to start Claire's little brother is going to play John Connor in the new Terminator Series on Fox, I guess they are writing out his character completely, maybe this means Claire will be able to stand on her own and not be bound by her family in attempts to save the world!

Ceric · « **Reply #60 on:** December 09, 2006, 02:35:14 PM »

Why would Dr. Who come to Heroes? Is that why we got the Tenth Doctor David Tennant? (Which I like more because he's more traditional. Though he still doesn't have a scarf... >.<

So their is going to be a Terminator Series... Hopefully it will take place after 3.

It's the same reason Peter Parker, Clark Kent, Bruce Banner, et., al. are so easy to remember.

There should never be any question as to who the series is about.

Anywhoo, Remember, Peter (not Parker) has had special dreams for awhile. In the first few episodes, he'd have dreams of flying and in the "Six Months Ago" episode, he apparently dreamed about the car accident before/while it happened. Peter's dreams mean something - he's not just leaching them from someone else.

Already pointed that out. Slow to the party and please explain why you changed my quote? I've already named multiple characters in my different posts.

UncleBob · « **Reply #63 on:** December 09, 2006, 04:04:33 PM »

Sorry, it's been awhile since I read up on this thread.

I didn't change your quote from way above, I just cut out the one line from it that I was talking about to mention why (at the time, at least) you remembered Peter so well.

MaryJane · « **Reply #64 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:04:52 AM »

That's actually my quote...

I said that, something is wrong with my memory... I'm not sure what,

UncleBob · « **Reply #65 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:16:31 AM »

Woah, how did that happen? I guess when I cut out stuff in the middle, I really screwed that one up. Sorry Ceric.

Ceric · « **Reply #66 on:** December 10, 2006, 02:28:26 PM »

Yeah I was like I don't remember saying that because I don't actually cuss...

MaryJane · « **Reply #67 on:** December 11, 2006, 07:57:29 AM »

suck is a kcus?

Ceric · « **Reply #68 on:** December 11, 2006, 11:28:23 AM »

Not really. But its self degrading. So I try to avoid it about the same. It also has bad connotations.

SixthAngel · « **Reply #69 on:** December 30, 2006, 03:30:36 PM »

A little late but I have been a big fan of Heroes even though I only started watching it about halfway through then caught up. I really like how nbc puts the episodes online the day after in case you missed the episode.

Anyway, about Peter. I think that his power is that he is always connected to all the other Heroes. That is why dreams about them and seems to be drawn to save the world and help them. His carreer is even a very empathatic one. Since he is connected to them that is also why he gains their powers when he gets close. I think he is sick because he was close to Sylar and it seemed to leave something behind. In one of his dreams Sylar is big component.

JonLeung · « **Reply #70 on:** January 10, 2007, 09:06:06 AM »

New episodes resume the 22nd, right?

Caliban · « **Reply #71 on:** January 10, 2007, 12:29:51 PM »

Yes, it does start on the 22nd.
Luckily Rome starts on the 14th, in the meantime I will be watching SG1 and SGA, and further down I am expecting Sopranos, Eureka, and Dexter.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #72 on:** January 22, 2007, 05:51:02 PM »

It's back!

Once again, Hiro was the best part of the episode. Nice, effortless special fx on Nicky's husband reaching through the glass in prison.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #73 on:** January 23, 2007, 02:17:28 AM »

I wish that NBC would stop having gaps between episodes. Fox learned a few years ago to show 24 from beginning to end without gaps between episodes. Shows like this that are serial shows where you have to watch every episode to keep up, then they should show them from beginning to end in a short a period as possible. The month long gap between the last episode of Heroes and last nights new episode caused issues of not remembering some stuff because it's been about a month since the last one.

Stuff like this has killed shows. I mean Commander in Chief was doing really good when it started, but it was put on hiatus for a while and when it came back on people didn't bother because it had been so long since it was last on.

Serial shows should be treated in part like a mini-series.

JonLeung · « **Reply #74 on:** January 23, 2007, 06:35:05 AM »

I still like the show but I'm worried about an excessive number of heroes with ridiculous powers.

I mean, geez, last episode revealed The Invisible Bum and the Deal Or No Deal Heroes Preview (brought to us by Ghost Rider) revealed that Wi-Fi Woman is coming soon. I guess Wi-Fi Woman's been in the graphic novels too but I think those powers are ridiculous. I already have to suspend my belief to accept that Hiro's genes somehow enable him to travel through time by his own willpower. Though I guess giving them silly names like I just did there doesn't help, and we already established that we shouldn't nitpick the realism.

I do like that in the last episode, a few more characters met each other. Good that Zach's back (I thought they were simply going to write him off the series when he got his memory wiped) and "the Haitian" knows for some reason that Claire ought to remember stuff. Perhaps now Claire will be a more interesting character (and she looked hotter for some reason I can't fathom).
