Four Months Ago lightning

I added that he used Electromagnetism in Four Months Ago... but it was removed. The opening, non-"previously" scene (that was, admittedly a similar but re-shot version of last episode's last scene) showed Peter shocking Adam, so I think it still applies as technically part of the episode. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong, but it seems obvious to me that he did in the episode's individual narrative.--Tim Thomason 22:37, 12 November 2007 (EST)

  • Hi, Tim. Scenes from a previous episode that just use a different shot for instance are considered parts of the previous episode. It can get a little tricky sometimes since they like to do things like that a lot, but basically if you ignore the different shots and just consider it to be the same exact event from the previous episode it may help make it easier to determine in the future. It may help to imagine that there are multiple people in the room observing the events transpiring and each episode may include shots from each person's perspective, but if you look chronologically where the last episode ended (ignoring the different perspectives) that may help delineate the episodes. Not sure if what I just said makes sense or not, but hopefully it does! :) (Admin 22:41, 12 November 2007 (EST))
    • Got it. I was just a little overzealous, because I thought I remembered all of the powers he used and was afraid I'd miss one. I didn't think I'd add a wrong one.--Tim Thomason 22:53, 12 November 2007 (EST)

Listing all episodes for each power

  • Is this really necessary? Six seasons in, each bullet point is going to be a page and a half long. If anybody wants a complete list, there's always Examples of empathic mimicry. Wouldn't a citation to the first use be sufficient here?--Hardvice (talk) 16:20, 13 November 2007 (EST)
    • I second the notion. People need to be careful how they list things and remember it may be manageable now at the beginning but later on it will be too cumbersome. --Mish 16:22, 13 November 2007 (EST)

Peter's dreams

Is this really an ability Peter has absorbed? I'm a bit unsure on this, anyone else have any input? -- Friskymuffin - (talk) 17:22, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

  • Peter's dreams are not confirmed as an ability quite yet. I have a feeling they will be, but as of yet, they are just something he experiences, and it's not yet an ability. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 20:58, 16 June 2008 (EDT)

Intuitive Aptitude

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that Peter obtained intuitive aptitude from Sylar in Homecoming, and simply didn't know about it or how to access it until Sylar instructed him in I Am Become Death? The impression I got from their conversation was that all Future Sylar did was teach Peter how to use his ability; Sylar never used it, he simply told Peter how to use it. So logically, Peter gained the ability in Homecoming when he first met Sylar, if being exposed to him was all that was required (as opposed to Sylar displaying the ability, as most other people have done before Peter copies them). I guess technically, he was "exposed" to intuitive aptitude quite literally in Parasite when Sylar cut his head open, hehe. --Goji 22:30, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

  • I agree. It should be listed as Homecoming not tonight's episode. But there is a case for arguing that Intuitive Aptitude was actively being used cause Gabriel says he pretty much fights it all the time. --Snow Leapord 22:34, 6 October 2008 (EDT)

Convention for this and the exposed sections

  • What's our convention for this, as it seems to be muddled in confuson at the moment (or at least is to me  ;))?
  1. If Peter is exposed to a power, but has his abilities inhibited (eg - by the Haitian), do we list it as exposed to? If so,m what about the German (since he was effectively having his abilities inhibited by being in Jesse, similar to being around the Haitian or taking "Haitian pills")?
  2. For this (mimicked) template: Same question. Specifically, if he didn't gain the super speed from Daphne in Our Lady of Blessed Acceleration, Part 2, due to the Haitian's presence, then it seems he should've gotten it from an unknown person at the beginning of I Am Become Death, and not Dpahne at all.

    • Angela stated that Peter couldn't use his ability while in Jesse's body, so no, he was not exposed to the German (he was dead by the time FPeter pushed him out of Jesse's body). But regardless, we don't know about the Haitian stopping Peter's ability to absorb. We just know that the Haitian can block Peter from mimicking the ability. Hope that helped explain it.--Bob (talk) 23:29, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

Just a reminder...

...the cites on the page are for the first time Peter mimics an ability, not when he absorbed it. So there's no need to go through the debate on this page as to why I Am Become Death is listed and not Homecoming, because he didn't use the ability until IABD.--Bob (talk) 23:31, 12 October 2008 (EDT)

  • True but he didn't get the ability from Gabriel Gray (exposed future) he got it from Sylar long before he ever met Gabriel Gray (exposed future). He only needed Gabriel Gray (exposed future) to show him how to use it.--Snow Leapord 23:01, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
    • That's speculation, IMO. As far as we know, Peter didn't absorb some, or all, of the powers listed in the exposed list. Isn't that why said list exists in the first place ? --LeoChris 23:38, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
      • I remember reading somewhere on here (at least I think it was here may have been elsewhere) that a writer or producer said that the first time Peter met Sylar he absorbed every ability that Sylar had at the time. Which would include IA. --Snow Leapord 13:34, 22 October 2008 (EDT)

New ability

Instead of writing the new abilities in the article, wouldn't it be better to actually put the distinction in the template, like we did with Sylar after he was reset? Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 11:09, 7 February 2009 (EST)

  • I don't get the point of the template in the first place. The information is only included on Peter Petrelli and Peter vs. Sylar (which should take a backseat to other main namespace articles). It doesn't get automatically searched since it's in the template namespace, and it seems like it discourages newer editors from easily finding the information. As well, the info that's here is now static since Peter lost this ability and doesn't seem to be gaining empathic mimicry back anytime soon. I'd actually rather just move the information on to the Peter Petrelli article outright, and forget about a needless template. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 11:19, 7 February 2009 (EST)
