I think this page looks really good. It's definitely a good layout for mimicry, and can be adapted easily if we decide to do any other pages. Fantastic move! - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 16:03, 7 December 2006 (EST)

Could Peter replicate his old ability by touching his past self?(50000JH 18:20, 12 January 2010 (EST))
The points made in the list of examples about Mohinder's and Claude's comments are not really examples. But they are still on-show revelations about the nature of Peter's ability. Should they be moved to notes?--[[User:E rowe|E rowe]] 23:27, 29 January 2007 (EST)
*Dont think so, it has been stated that Peter could't absorb abilities from his future self from when he had his old ability. I think the same would be for this ability.--{{User:Yoshi n1/sig1}} 18:21, 12 January 2010 (EST)
**What was said is that he couldn't absorb Future Peter's acquired abilities, as he was only exposed to his base power, empathic mimicry. Peter could indeed replicate past Peter's empathic mimicry, just like he can replicate anyone's base power. - [[User:Josh|Josh]] ([[User talk:Josh|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Josh|contribs]]) 18:47, 12 January 2010 (EST)
***We dont know if it was the ability that didn't made him absorb it or the person, what if he is just is unable to absorb abilities from himself.--{{User:Yoshi n1/sig1}} 17:22, 13 January 2010 (EST)
I knew he could not mimic his future self, as he did not mimic body insertion.[50000JH 17:19, 13 January 2010 (EST)]


==Does he really absorb abilities empathically?==
I've tried to address Peter's visions in the article. Let me know what you guys think; we can revert if it doesn't seem appropriate. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 09:39, 31 January 2007 (EST)
:Yeah, you've done a nice job mentioning the visions. However, I'm not sure they are really ''examples'' of his power usage. I would keep the vision stuff to the limits section, or the notes, but not the examples. Just my opinion. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 10:56, 31 January 2007 (EST)


I'm just wondering about this: does Peter, when he still had EM, absorb abilities EMPATHICALLY? By empathy, I understand that it's about feeling what others feel, know their emotions and other whatnots. Peter has met some evolved humans and absorbed their abilites yet he doesn't know much about them, let alone emapthically relate to them to absorb their abilities. Like Phasing from D.L(whom he only met once at Kirby Plaza), Induced Radioactivity(he manifested Ted's ability as soon as he saw him) and Precognition(he manifested Precognition after barely treating(from heroin) and barely knowing Isaac. I really doubt he absorbed abilities "empathically". Thoughts? --[[User: Realistic|Realistic]]
==Not his power!==
* I know what you mean and personally I think the way Peter absorbed abilities sometimes was bad writing. However, we were given the name "empathic mimicry" for his original power, so we should stick to it.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 08:44, 25 January 2010 (EST)
There is no way that Peter's power is Empathy! If he is an empath he would have felt great pain around people in pain, etc. Empathy is the ability to sense emotions on a psychic level, not mimic powers. Please consider changing it to Power Mimcry or Mimcry.--[[User:Dylankidwell|The Empath]] 23:53, 29 January 2007 (EST)
** Ability Mimicry would have been much better from the beginning but like Referos said, we have been given that name so well we have to stick with it for now -- ([[User:WaterRatj|WaterRatj]]) 09:17, 25 January 2010 (EST)
* Well, where did you get that definition of the power of empathy? Because, AFAIK, super powers don't exist in the real world. So the terms and definitions heroeswiki uses for them should match the terms and definitions from the show itself as much as possible. Do you have evidence from the show that his power is not empathy?--[[User:E rowe|E rowe]] 23:56, 29 January 2007 (EST)
** I think Empath is more of a description of a person with Peter's power than a description of the power itself. I agree that the power should be called Power Mimicry until we know exactly how the rest of it figures in. --[[User:Fcphantom|Fcphantom]] 00:02, 30 January 2007 (EST)
***Perhaps it was less of an empathic link with "people", and more of a link with his ''own'' feelings, feeling trapped kicked in the phasing... and just like with Tracy and her freezing, they kick in depending on different situations. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 12:11, 25 January 2010 (EST)
*I think it's been said before but the act of empathising with someone or something is a a) a conscious choice and b) an active process. Peter's ability violates both of these rules as he absorbed some powers (e.g. Telepathy) without being aware the ability existed so that's a) gone, and some powers (e.g. Phasing) with no effort whatsoever so that's b) gone. If anything, what Sylar does is empathy. Peter's ability is simply misnamed- should just be Power mimicry or Passive mimicry.--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 12:09, 27 January 2010 (EST)
*** I think there's a lot more to Peter's power than just mimicking other powers. His visions indicate that he connects with other characters on other levels, as well. Power mimicry is just one consequence of Peter's empathic abilities, and I've rewritten the article to reflect what we're learning. I'm also using the only term for his power that has been used in the show (unless you'd prefer I call it "Sponging" :) --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 11:57, 30 January 2007 (EST)
*I got a question: Can't this ability be renamed to anything related to "Power/Ability Mimicry"? I think most would agree that he does not absorb abilities empathically(at least, on most cases). By "empathically", I mean by the traditional sense of the word, which is to relate to others and reciprocate feelings and emotions.--[[User:Realistic|Realistic]]
**** Or "mosaic". My only real concern is that it's not 100% clear that Claude was referring to Peter's power, and not to Peter's personality. That, and the fact that "empathy" already has a pretty well established non-superpower meaning (not to mention an all-together different superpower meaning ... he's not Deanna Troi!) make me think it's a less-than-complete label which tends to lead to confusion. We certainly don't have to be bound by other definitions of "empathy", but we ignore them at the peril of being confusing. Heck, I'm still not 100% comfortable with "Eidetic memory", since an eidetic memory is a very real, very non-superpowered thing. It seems to me the move is either premature or not specific enough, but I'm not sure of other options. I agree "empathic power mimicry" is too restrictive. Howabout something like "Empathic resonance"? We need something that makes enough of a distinction from plain old personality trait empathy (and traditional superhero empathy) without being too specific so as to lock us into an unexplored corner.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 12:57, 30 January 2007 (EST)
** No, we can't rename this. "Empathic mimicry" was given to us explicitly.--[[User:Referos|Referos]] 10:30, 31 January 2010 (EST)
I have done alot of research on comic book powers and the desrciption of empathy is like I said. Here is a link to a page that has all the comic book powers[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_comic_book_superpowers 1]. Read the one on Empathy and Power Mimicry. And yes, the evidence is that Peter himself stated that he mimics powers not that he can read emotions. FYI, Evidence of Empathy portrayed accurately on TV would be Charmed Season 3 episode "Primrose Empath" and most of Charmed Season 6.--[[User:Dylankidwell|The Empath]] 00:04, 30 January 2007 (EST)
***Yup. Another case of the "canon" rule preventing a change even though we all know the name isn't acurate. Thing is, writers can make mistakes too (I study it so I should know), as can any member of the crew who release information. What we should do is always follow the canon, unless we can distinguish that the writers/crew themselves have made a mistake- which is pretty much the basis for one side of the naming conventions debate- a debate which will never conclude, so we'll just have to accept the name in it's incorrect form.--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 18:04, 31 January 2010 (EST)
* That wikipedia article on comic book powers and the Charmed episode both have nothing to do with Heroes. And we don't just have the label Claude used, we also have comments from people associated with the show off screen. I don't see anything wrong with using either label for now and having a redirect from the other one. But letting non-Heroes sources trump Heroes sources for defining elements of Heroes won't work.--[[User:E rowe|E rowe]] 10:04, 30 January 2007 (EST)
****Peter said he had to remember how he felt when he met Claire, in order to use RCR when Claude pushed him over the edge. Meaning empathetically. I too thought we should have called it Ability mimicry, but I see it should remain as empathic mimicry.--{{User:Catalyst/sig}} 18:26, 31 January 2010 (EST)
**And you're the official word on this because why? As a more "real world" definition, try the Webster's Dictionary: "meta" = beyond, ie "metahuman" = beyond human. --[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 17:24, 30 January 2007 (EST)
***I get the impression [[user:E rowe|E rowe]] wasn't referring to the WP article on "metahuman", but the WP article that's a list of superpowers. Let's try to keep it civil.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:29, 30 January 2007 (EST)
***** It's not our place to decide when the writers make mistakes, Maldini. Feel free to send them an email or something questioning it, but unless we have some other source against it, it's our job to archive what we've been given.--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 20:52, 31 January 2010 (EST)
****** History of the name: we originally called the ability "power mimicry". After Claude used the word "empath" to describe Peter and his power, we moved the page to "empathy". Much discussion later, we combined the two terms and called it "empathic mimicry" on January 31, 2007. At that point, the name was considered a descriptive name--it was based on something said in a canon source, but there was no canon source for the name. It wasn't until August 5, 2008, I believe, that the [[assignment tracker map]] explicitly named Peter's ability. I assume that the writers used Heroes Wiki's name for the power, but I can't be positive. Either way, it's the name that was explicitly given to us, and which we will use. Frankly, I think it's a great name. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 00:03, 1 February 2010 (EST)
*** No need to be harsh, here... Metahuman is not a real word (though it makes a lot of sense). Here at Heroes Wiki, we've been using "evolved humans". It's all made up by fans, anyway. And we need to remember that Tim Kring has made it very public that he is not a "comic book guy", and purposely stays away from the genre so he remains unaffected by popular comic book themes and ideas. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 17:35, 30 January 2007 (EST)
*Remembering how someone made you feel isn't empathy, that's just memory. And it's been proven he could use his powers without "remembering how the doner made him feel" in season 2, when he couldn't even remember who he was, let alone who all his donors were. Plus, it's since been proven that RCR is a passive ability- and doesn't need conscious thought or imperitive, meaning that, in narrative Peter was mistaken due to a coincidence of thought and the passive RCR, and out of narrative, that angle of his power has since been changed or evolved. Empathy is pro-active, simple as. It's not a question of whether it's an acurate name cos it's not, actually, it's not a question at all. And Ryan, I actually like the name too, despite what I'm saying, but I don't have to dislike it to admit it's flawed.--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 11:35, 1 February 2010 (EST)
****Well, the show's fiction, so the "real word" argument doesn't really apply. I'm all for going with the majority on what we're going to call the abilities since that's who should be making the overall decision. So if it's "evolved humans", then cool!--[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 20:16, 30 January 2007 (EST)
** Well is the discussion about a perceived flaw in the name, or about renaming the ability? There are a few comments above about renaming the ability. Despite whatever flaws one may see in the name (I don't see any glaring flaws), there won't be any changes to the name since it was given to us explicitly. However, if the discussion is about the flaws people see, then I'll step out of the way and let y'all discuss it. :) -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 16:27, 1 February 2010 (EST)
**I have a real problem calling Peter's power "empathy". Empathy is a character trait, not a superpower. If we want to include empathy in the title of his power, that's fine (maybe something like "emapathetic power mimicry"), but just calling it "empathy" is really misusing the term, in my opinion. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 11:03, 30 January 2007 (EST)
*Is there a reson why we can't assume that Claude was refering to Peter's wanting to save everyone as his "empathy" rather than his ability, of which Claude knows almost nothing (and thus would likely not try to define just yet)?- [[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] ([[User talk:Yoshie|talk]]) 11:08, 30 January 2007 (EST)
**I gathered that Claude already knows more about Peter's power than Peter does. His empath line wasn't the only clue to that. I agree that the word "empathy" by itself has a normal meaning that does not connote any kind of super power. But I think the normal canons of data should dictate how each of the powers is defined. One of the ways his power resembles the character trait of empathy is that, thus far it has been passively stimulated by those around him. This is something that the word "empathy" entails and the word "mimicry" does not. I do think a more precise term like "empathetic power mimicry" is a really good way to cover the bases too.
***Good ideas for names ... but I think we should just go back to "Power mimicry" until we find out more about how empathy plays into his power. Claude is bound to teach him, and we're bound to learn more about it - let's just wait. In the meantime, let's go back to micicry - that's still, technically, what it is. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 13:02, 30 January 2007 (EST)


== The nature of Empathic mimicry... ==
Ok, I know that Charmed has nothing do to with Heroes but those episodes are acurrate portayals of Empathy. Also, the power in this show are based on comic book type powers. Claude was probably refering to the regualar meaning of Empathy not the super powered meaning. I suggest that, let's have a vote to change the name back to Mimicry or to keep it the same.--[[User:Dylankidwell|The Empath]] 15:47, 30 January 2007 (EST)
:Whoa - we need to realize that there's no such thing as an accurate portayals of a power, since, well, they don't exist in real life. Plus, we need to remember that [[Tim Kring]] has stated he's never really read comic books, and doesn't know much about the world of comics. Referencing other comics and shows about the supernatural is really quite a pointless argument. ... Okay, sorry for the rant, I just want to keep us grounded. That said, I vote to change it back to power mimicry until we find out more about how empathy factors in. - [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|RyanGibsonStewart]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|talk]]) 15:51, 30 January 2007 (EST)
* I tend to agree. We're not bound by how any show or source but ''Heroes'' does things (look at Matt's telepathy versus most other depictions of telepathy). That said, I also think that while it's clear that empathy factors in to Peter's power, it's not a very good name for his power.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:57, 30 January 2007 (EST)
::I won't fight to keep it right now, but I seriously think that mimicry is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg, here. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 15:55, 30 January 2007 (EST)
::* I totally agree: more is going on. But more is going on than "normal" empathy. Too soon to say with any certainty.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 15:57, 30 January 2007 (EST)
* Empathy covers part of it and mimicry covers part of it, but neither covers it all. At least one definition of telepathy would cover both, but then Matt and Peter would have the same power, which they defiantly don't. Matt's could be telepathic communication and Peter's telepathic connection, but that would be confusing. -[[User:Level|Level]] 16:35, 30 January 2007 (EST)
** I wasn't suggesting we change his power to telepathy. I was pointing out an example of where ''Heroes'' powers deviate significantly from other source's powers.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 16:50, 30 January 2007 (EST)
*** I know you weren't, I kind of was, but not really. I meant Peter's powers fit some definitions of telepathy, and Matt's fits the current most common definition, but not the original (we probably don't want to change his power though, unless it was something like Telecommunication ;) -joke). I was also trying to come up with a better name. Maybe "Remote adaptation" or something like that? -[[User:Level|Level]] 17:14, 30 January 2007 (EST)


A discussion carried on over from Arthur's page, what exactly is the nature of EM? Over on Arthur's page, it's being said that EM, perhaps due to Suresh's 'sponge' comment, is the only ability Peter ever had- and all the other abilities that Peter mimicked simply changed the nature of his one ability. Technically if this is correct, it would mean that Peter never actually had access to such powers like Telepathy and RCR in the same way that Matt and Claire did, and that every time he used a copied power, the only power he was ever actually using was EM, every time for every borowed power. Now I'm not saying this is correct, but it does raise the question in the light of Arthur's absorbtion- did he absorb 15 abilities from Peter, or just 1, meaning that he, alike Peter, when using these copied powers, was tapping into EM every time. What do people think?--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 08:52, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
== Proximity ==
*Mohinder said that Peter's DNA was like a chameleon, changing itself to make room for new abilities. I believe that Peter's original ability allowed him to integrate new abilities to his system, but was still necessary to access it. For example, Peter had empathic mimicry and mimicked telekinesis. From that point on, he had the DNA needed for both abilities, but in order to access telekinesis, he needed empathic mimicry. Think of as expression of a genetic condition. You can have a gene for a determined characteristic, but if the gene isn't expressed, the characteristic doesn't appear. After integrating an ability, EM would function as an on\off switch. When Arthur took it from Peter, he copied all of the abilities stored in the DNA, and used his own ability as an off switch on Peter's EM, meaning Peter could no longer use it as the on switch to his acquired abilities. I think that's what happened based on Matt Jr. using his ability as the on switch on Hiro's ability. I don't know how it would work on Peter, since he took the formula, and that may have done something to the stored abilities, or perhaps changed the lock for an ability key, so to speak. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 09:42, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
**I think the difference is in the exact usage of EM. I used to think that Peter used his base ability only when making the initial mimic, and after that used the abilities he copied in the same way the original holder would, only Peter had several of course. But if what mc said is true, then Peter doesn't actually have access to Telekinesis at all- only EM, which has re-synched as Suresh was eluding to, to be able to use Telekinetic effects. This could possibly explain why Peter's copied version of an ability is at first and for some time there after less acurate or potent than the original. In this case, Arthur would've absorbed only Peter's loaded EM, as mc suggested, not each ability as an individual, which changes the outlook on things considerably.--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 12:14, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
***The reason I said about the fact Peter only has one, is that firstly, his ability is empathic ''mimicry'', ie he mimics the ability, not has, and secondly the writers have said and it has been said on here multiple times, people can only have ''one'' ability. --[[User:Mc hammark|mc_hammark]] 15:42, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
****In that sense, it would be one jack-of-all-trades ability which can emulate the effects of other abilities, while not necessarily integrating them into the user. It's just a copy. [[User:Intuitive Empath|Intuitive Empath]] - [[User talk:Intuitive Empath|Talk]] - [[Special:Contributions/Intuitive Empath|Contributions]] 15:50, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
*****And if that is the case, then we should list it on Arthur's page, but remove all the others singularily.--[[User:EvilMaldini|Evil Maldini]] 16:44, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
******This seems to be confirmed since HRG said Sylar was the only one with multiple powers, but Claude recognized that Peter was "one of those -- an empath".--''<small>[[User:Boycool42|<font color=blue>BOYCOOL</font>]]</small>'' -- '''''<big>[[User talk:Boycool42|<font color=black>THE END IS NIGH.</font>]]</big>''''' 10:36, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
*******I find this discussion very interesting. It kinda bothered when Arthur stole Peter's ability and he acquired all the ones Peter's mimiced, but after reading this and re-watching the chapter in the first volume where Suresh talks about '''EM''' it makes more sense. It also makes for the mixing of abilities to be more plausible it Peter's case; for example '''body insertion''' could be a mixture of '''telepathy, phasing'''... like that discussion indicates, though I am not implying it actually is. --[[User:Inblackestnight|Inblackestnight]] 15:54, 4 June 2010


I've always thought of Empathic Mimicry as a Lock on a Door. Peters Empathic Mimicry is the Key and then there's a Door with a Lock blocking the power. He has to use EM to use what's inside the door. [[User:Alessia1111|Alessia1111]] 13:28, 9 June 2010 (EDT)
Anyone catch how far Peter was from Claude when he reappeared? Seems we now know the "range" of Peter's sponging ability (at least the automatic side).--[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 12:54, 30 January 2007 (EST)
* Also note the use of the word "sponge". It makes me think that Peter's power is a power-storage mechanism that charges up the longer he stays in contact with someone else w/ powers. Which makes me wonder if he got sick because he "charged up" being too close to Sylar, Claire, Nathan (and Mr. Bennet) in Odessa. And with a charge, there is a storage and discharge. One of the theories is he still retains pieces of the powers of ''everyone'' he has ever been in contact with... --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 17:30, 30 January 2007 (EST)


I dont think Peter absorbs abilities. Heres how i see it.
==Votes==
Peter is near another evolved human. His ability resequences Peter's DNA to match theirs, granting Peter access to their abiities. He doesnt absorb, he mimics. And when he is not in their presence he uses empathy to recreate that DNA resequencing that grants him access to someone's powers. I remember reading somewhere on the Peter page that when he meets his future self he is only exposed to Empathic Mimicry, meaning peter doesnt actually HAVE the mimicked powers, unlike Sylar, but has to reproduce the resequencing to use them. The reason this ability is so powerful is because Empathic mimicry allows Peter's body to remember all previously mimicked abilities, and all he has to do is recall them. [[User:peterpetrelli15]] 17:38, 22 October 2011 (EDT)
* That's an interesting theory. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 20:43, 24 October 2011 (EDT)


Another point i was always curious about. Peter's scar. Which leads to Claire's regenerative powers. Ok, so Peter mimics regeneration and heals in Homecoming. He then recalls the ability in distractions. my question is, since rapid cell regeneration is a passive power does Peter have it constantly active once he recalls it? I mean Sylar's ability of Intuitive Aptitude is generally considered passive and Peter seemed to have it constantly active as he was pressed by the hunger, or he seemed under its influence. It has been established that without the ability Sylar isn't affected by the hunger and he only had the hunger in the second season because he still had his ability, he just couldn't access it. Where as when he didnt have the power thanks to the eclipse he didnt have the hunger. So was Peter constantly accessing an ability that long, as IA helps him understand and control powers better. Or was he screwed because it was now constantly active and he couldn't turn it off? I wish they were more clearer on this. Thoughts? [[User:peterpetrelli15]] 19:40, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

*You could always go with option "C", which would fit the narrow POV I'm reading above. Until each power is specifically named in canon, why not call them "power to copy other powers" or "power to control fire". It's pretty lame BUT goes along with what was stated a half-dozen times above. If you plan to only go by what is stated in canon, then you should go in 100%.--[[User:Yoshie|Yoshie]] 17:29, 30 January 2007 (EST)
**I think you're missing the point they're trying to make (and please keep in mind that I agree with you): it's not that we should ignore other sources, it's that we're not bound by them. I agree with that completely -- some powers in ''Heroes'' are quite different from similar powers in other works. I don't think anybody's suggesting that we should flat-out refuse to label powers until they're labeled in canon (and if you honestly think anyone is saying that, then you're being deliberately obtuse). I think they're suggesting that canon sources should outweigh non-canon sources, which is true. I think "induced radioactivity" sounds pretty stupid, but we're stuck with it. That said, I don't think we've heard Peter's ''power'' referred to as empathy in the show, so the argument, while valid, is in my opinion not relevant. In the absence of a canon name for it, we should call it something that covers what we've seen without implying too much that we don't know. In my opinion, neither "Power mimicry" nor "empathy" really cuts it, but "power mimicry" is at least underinclusive, while "empathy" is downright misleading&mdash;yes, based on non-canon sources.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 17:42, 30 January 2007 (EST)

* I pretty much agree that it stretches the ordinary meaning of "empathy" too much to use it as the name of a super power. But I think it could be used with a modifier (Eg. It's not enough to call Spleen's power "flatulence" in Mystery Men; but "superordinary flatulence" just might cover it). Tim Kring said Peter's power was based on his empathy [http://www.wizarduniverse.com/television/heroes/002880960.cfm here]. And I can't see Claude's comment as a reference to anything other than Peter's ability (apparently I'm in the minority on that). So, if the power name doesn't account for these points, at least something in the description should. And there should probably be a redirect from "empathy" to whatever his power is.--[[User:E rowe|E rowe]] 22:08, 30 January 2007 (EST)
**I'm with you on both accounts, that it's based on empathy, and that a form of the word "empathy" should probably qualify the power. I don't think anybody is saying that Claude was referring to something completely different, but (speaking for myself now) he never did say it was the name of the power. In the end, it's a character trait. It's a trait that Peter uses to access his power, or augment it, or whatever. ...

Isn't it obvious that Sylar has this power too? He was able to use this power to absorb electricity from Elle. He was born with the same power as Peter, then he absorbed his father's intuitive aptitude. His original power wasn't telekinesis, and it wasn't intuitive aptitude, it was empathic mimicry. It's beautiful really, how he was an innocent kid with the same power as the good guy, and then his father corrupted him. 03:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)
== Range: Claire vs. Claude ==
* No. Sylar has a similar ability, but not the same ability. [[Talk:Empathic_mimicry/Archive_3#CBR_confirms_Sylar_used_Empathic_mimicry_with_Elle_and_James_Martin|See here]] for a previous discussion on the matter. -- {{User:Ryangibsonstewart/sig}} 13:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

The limits for this power mention that Peter was much further away from Claire when he healed than when he became invisible around Claude. (''convoluted sentence, sorry'') I'm not really buying that - I don't think Peter started to heal until Claire was right there. It's also hard to tell the difference between the distances because of angles and off-screen action. I say we stike the specifics about the distance, and leave it a bit more vague until we find out something more concrete. (The reference to his precognition is a bit more concrete, though.) Thoughts? &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 03:03, 1 February 2007 (EST)
* I think it's sufficient to say that the range and duration seems to vary from power to power. He duped Isaac the next day, but has stopped duping Claude almost immediately. His range with Claude is very, very limited, but if he did dupe Future Hiro then he started quite a bit before FH arrived. It's all very confusing ATM.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 03:07, 1 February 2007 (EST)
*I was thinking the same thing. I think part of Peter's healing came from the fact that Claire was near him '''immediately before''' he fell to the ground (watched [[Homecoming]] again tonight; it was literally seconds) and then she came back. Peter's "absorption" is still very unclear, especially in the sense that he may be using the power without even realizing it (back to the passive vs. active argument, I know). Peter didn't realize Claude was invisible, and I don't think he even realized he himself was initially. I think it's a distance vs. time sort of thing. --[[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]] 03:11, 1 February 2007 (EST)
** Again with the sponges... it's like Peter's power meter "fills up" when he's near other [[evolved humans]], and when it hits a certain level, the power activates. Likewise, Peter retains the other person's power once he's come in contact with it... There is a spoiler pic out there that seems to confirm this. In a way, he really is an Evil Sylar. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 09:51, 1 February 2007 (EST)
*** That makes a great deal of sense. Since Claude's power seems to be always on, Peter would be wringing out the sponge just as fast as he was filling it. With Isaac, he doesn't have a precognitive episode until he's relaxed and has a pencil in his hand, so there's still enough juice left the next day for a subpar prophetic drawing. With Claire, he doesn't need to heal until he's hurt, so he has enough juice to survive the fall, and then soaks up enough when she returns to finish the job.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 13:04, 1 February 2007 (EST)
**** Something you said reminded me of a thought I had earlier today (during class, but who needs to think that deeply about literary criticism?) ''until he's relaxed'' ... I think there's a reason the show, and especially Claude, identifies him as an Empath, and why we can't just call his power mimicry. Peter's powers seem to be '''very''' connected to his emotions (though this seems to be a general statement about all the specials - their powers tend to emerge/function/respond most when at an emotional point). Peter flew out of fear when Nathan saved him, then out of anger when Nathan confronted him on the roof of the hospital. Claude was walking away from Peter, he felt defeated, so to speak, in his attempt to convince him to help; therefore, his invisibility faded. It seems reasonable to assume Claude's met an Empath before, and knows more about their ability than Peter does. It's not so much that Claude will help Peter train himself, but to control his emotional link to his ability. --[[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]] 13:12, 1 February 2007 (EST)
*****Spot on assessment! ''Heroes'' borrows from all that is great about ''Lost'': it's a character-driven show, with lots of fun ancillary action and mystery.

==[[Episode:Distractions|Distractions]]==
* There is now strong evidence that Peter's ability is more spongelike (As Suresh said) than previously known. When he was thrown off a building in a test to try and fly again, he was unable to harness the ability~ but when he fell on a taxi cab and was presumeably dead from the force, he easily pulled his impaled body out of the car's wreckage, and begins healing quickly. Knowing that Claire is still in Texas, this implies that his comment of "remembering how he felt about her" helped him grasp the power and made it active again.<P>Upon realizing this amazing collection of abilities he had gained, (Painter, flying, healing, invisibility, mind-reading, Time-space manipulation, possibly others [he was near Sylar @ Homecoming, and possibly The Haitian, when in jail, speaking to Claire]), he suddenly relapses into what appears to be a simultaneous activation of several of them. Before this overload becomes what he fears the most (that it could be the preordained explosion), Clyde punches him in the face, knocking him out, citing satisfaction, "It's a start". This brings up the distinct possibility that he is the polar opposite of Sylar, although they both can collect powers, Sylar's method is ridiculously more violent. --[[User_talk:Duuude007|Duuude007]]
** Duuude007 - What you've written is more of a synopsis of events than an analysis of the power. I brought it hear to discussion so it won't get lost.

* So.... that pretty much was the best example of Peter's true capabilities so far. So how does that change our naming controversy? In a way, [[Peter]] also has ''power absorbtion'', but he manifests the powers through an "empathic" connection with the people he has met, while [[Sylar]] has no empathy and feels he must "[[Intuitive aptitude|analyze]]" his prey to activate the powers he has absorbed. Of course, even "absorbtion" may not be the correct word, since I seem to recall that [[Mohinder]] made a reference that Peter already had all of the DNA for all of the powers in him, and it was just a matter of him learning how to activate them. --[[User:Orne|Orne]] 12:53, 6 February 2007 (EST) ''(Note: didn't see the other section when I wrote this)''
**Oooh, I really don't want to start that whole conversation about the power name again. :) I think empathic memory still fits the bill better than anything else we've seen &mdash; Peter mimics powers, and he can use empathy to access them.

== Does mimicry equal acquisition? ==

So the question is, does Peter hold the powers he mimics? He certainly absorbs them, and is now learning to recall them even when others are not around. They are not his original powers. However, since we're saying Sylar holds the powers he steals, I personally think the same should apply for the powers that Peter absorbs. Other thoughts? &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 04:30, 20 February 2007 (EST)
*One of the easier things to do would be to change the powers infobox to "originally held by" and "acquired by". &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 04:33, 20 February 2007 (EST)
*I think there is a distinction between Sylar acquiring powers and Peter mimicking them. It appears that when Sylar acquires the powers, he has access to them as if they were in-born. Peter has the extra step of "calling up" the power. The example I used on the other talk page illustrates the importance of this distinction: Peter needs to be able to think of Claire to regenerate. If he was unexpectedly shot in the back of the head, he might not be able to access regeneration. If Sylar killed Claire and took her power, presumably he ''would'' automatically regenerate just like she does. To me, it just feels wrong to say Peter has acquired the power. He's acquired the ability to mimic it, but that's not really the same thing.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 04:41, 20 February 2007 (EST)
**But that's just it -- it's ''presumed'' that Sylar would automatically regenerate. I think the only difference between the two is time and experience. Who knows what extra steps Sylar has to take -- or if Peter is becoming more independent in his "calling up" ability.

== The dreams and visions... my new theory. ==

Well we know both Petrelli brothers have powers... Peters specifically being Empathic Mimicry and Nathans flight, but these dreams are coming from something. Micah has a power because of his parents, as does Claire. ...Maybe Peter is getting this power from his "deceased" father, or possibly even his mother? Maybe he mimicked the ability to have these precognitive dreams? Like his newfound powers, maybe he was just passively re-calling the ability each time he had the dreams?--[[User:Riddler|Riddler]] 13:03, 20 February 2007 (EST)
*We now know Peter's dreams aren't particularly accurate predictions. He sees Simone alive and well in his dreams (until he explodes, of course), so there's already at least one major variation from reality in them. --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 09:32, 21 February 2007 (EST)

==Paint Cans==
Umm... is there any confirmation that Peter, while invisible, threw paint cans at Isaac with telekinesis? How can you tell when you can't see Peter to know if he's using TK or just his hands? --[[User:Ted C|Ted C]] 09:31, 21 February 2007 (EST)
*I don't know of any proof that he threw them telekinetically. I remember when I was writing the synopsis I left out any mention of telekinesis because since he was invisible I had no way of knowing for certain. I dont think it's going to be possible to prove reliably that he did it using telekinesis unless they come out and say so in an interview or something. Any references to him throwing the cans telekinetically should probably be taken out for now. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 09:35, 21 February 2007 (EST))

== Eden's Power ==

I feel that it was very obvious that Peter used Eden's power. His demonic voice quality, though slightly different, did persuade Isaac to tell the truth.
*He may have used [[persuasion]], but it's not obvious. Listen carefully to [[Media:Eden.ogg|Eden's voice]] and [[Media:Petershout.ogg|Peter's yell]] -- they do sound different. However, even if Peter did use Eden's power, we also have no evidence that Isaac ever followed Peter's order. It's mentioned in the notes, and since it's speculation, that's where it belongs. &mdash; [[User:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>RyanGibsonStewart</font>]] ([[User talk:Ryangibsonstewart|<font color=#0147FA>talk</font>]]) 10:35, 21 February 2007 (EST)
** Yeah, the voice effect is totally different plus when Eden uses her power it has always in the past induced a type of hypnotic compliance. When Peter tells him not to lie to him it's because of Isaac's comment about [[the mark]] on his neck not meaning anything. Subsequently they argue over Simone. The scene and dialogue is driven by their fight for Simone. The change in Peter's voice was more likely for dramatic effect much like the scene where they slowed down Sylar and his voice was deeper (which also had people thinking it was Eden's power originally). ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 10:38, 21 February 2007 (EST))
***I think that is clearly MORE obvious than saying that Peter slowed or stopped time.

Though there is some discussion there as to whether people believe Peter used Eden's power, but nothing conclusive. ([[User:Admin|Admin]] 11:15, 21 February 2007 (EST))
*********No, because during that shot, Claude continued to squirm at a normal speed, not stop, therefore Peter did not stop or manipulate time, he used telekinesis to stop the darts, slash tazer, I just watched it again, and I thought I was wrong about this, because the coils of the tazers are steady in the air, so I was just about to consent until I saw Claude quivering and squirming at normal speed while they were suspended in the air. Also if he would have stopped time, he would have to move the darts by hand because they would still have momentum. Also there were no air ripples like that of the bullets that Hiro have stopped. I hold to the fact that Peter did not stop time. Why are you guys canonical sources and Milo Ventimiglia wouldn't be? I guess I would ask that space time manipulation be entered into speculation as a compromise. Please, I think it is less intuitive than Eden's power, but if both were speculation since neither completely, absolutely, happened. [[User:Totallycharged|Guy]] 19:39, 21 February 2007 (EST)
**********Only the episodes are canon. Which is a little odd, because you're right: the level of debate itself seems enough to say that the episode itself wasn't particularly clear as to whether Peter used S-T M. I'm not sure why we aren't treating this as unconfirmed, especially when we are treating things that are a lot clearer (like Simone's death) as unconfirmed.--[[User:Hardvice|Hardvice]] <small>[[User talk:Hardvice|(talk)]]</small> 19:46, 21 February 2007 (EST)
**********I don't think it can be clearly inferred that Claude is moving at "normal" speed, even. It appears as though he's moaning, and it doesn't look much like he's moving at regular speed. He's hardly even in the shot as it is, and even if he is, it could be due to the fact that Peter's touching him (or so it appears). So everything ''appears''... --[[User:ZyberGoat|ZyberGoat]] 20:44, 21 February 2007 (EST)

Past Self

Could Peter replicate his old ability by touching his past self?(50000JH 18:20, 12 January 2010 (EST))

  • Dont think so, it has been stated that Peter could't absorb abilities from his future self from when he had his old ability. I think the same would be for this ability.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 18:21, 12 January 2010 (EST)
    • What was said is that he couldn't absorb Future Peter's acquired abilities, as he was only exposed to his base power, empathic mimicry. Peter could indeed replicate past Peter's empathic mimicry, just like he can replicate anyone's base power. - Josh (talk/contribs) 18:47, 12 January 2010 (EST)
      • We dont know if it was the ability that didn't made him absorb it or the person, what if he is just is unable to absorb abilities from himself.-- Yoshi | Talk | Contributions 17:22, 13 January 2010 (EST)

I knew he could not mimic his future self, as he did not mimic body insertion.[50000JH 17:19, 13 January 2010 (EST)]

Does he really absorb abilities empathically?

I'm just wondering about this: does Peter, when he still had EM, absorb abilities EMPATHICALLY? By empathy, I understand that it's about feeling what others feel, know their emotions and other whatnots. Peter has met some evolved humans and absorbed their abilites yet he doesn't know much about them, let alone emapthically relate to them to absorb their abilities. Like Phasing from D.L(whom he only met once at Kirby Plaza), Induced Radioactivity(he manifested Ted's ability as soon as he saw him) and Precognition(he manifested Precognition after barely treating(from heroin) and barely knowing Isaac. I really doubt he absorbed abilities "empathically". Thoughts? --Realistic

  • I know what you mean and personally I think the way Peter absorbed abilities sometimes was bad writing. However, we were given the name "empathic mimicry" for his original power, so we should stick to it.--Referos 08:44, 25 January 2010 (EST)
    • Ability Mimicry would have been much better from the beginning but like Referos said, we have been given that name so well we have to stick with it for now -- (WaterRatj) 09:17, 25 January 2010 (EST)
      • Perhaps it was less of an empathic link with "people", and more of a link with his own feelings, feeling trapped kicked in the phasing... and just like with Tracy and her freezing, they kick in depending on different situations. --mc_hammark 12:11, 25 January 2010 (EST)
  • I think it's been said before but the act of empathising with someone or something is a a) a conscious choice and b) an active process. Peter's ability violates both of these rules as he absorbed some powers (e.g. Telepathy) without being aware the ability existed so that's a) gone, and some powers (e.g. Phasing) with no effort whatsoever so that's b) gone. If anything, what Sylar does is empathy. Peter's ability is simply misnamed- should just be Power mimicry or Passive mimicry.--Evil Maldini 12:09, 27 January 2010 (EST)
  • I got a question: Can't this ability be renamed to anything related to "Power/Ability Mimicry"? I think most would agree that he does not absorb abilities empathically(at least, on most cases). By "empathically", I mean by the traditional sense of the word, which is to relate to others and reciprocate feelings and emotions.--Realistic
    • No, we can't rename this. "Empathic mimicry" was given to us explicitly.--Referos 10:30, 31 January 2010 (EST)
      • Yup. Another case of the "canon" rule preventing a change even though we all know the name isn't acurate. Thing is, writers can make mistakes too (I study it so I should know), as can any member of the crew who release information. What we should do is always follow the canon, unless we can distinguish that the writers/crew themselves have made a mistake- which is pretty much the basis for one side of the naming conventions debate- a debate which will never conclude, so we'll just have to accept the name in it's incorrect form.--Evil Maldini 18:04, 31 January 2010 (EST)
        • Peter said he had to remember how he felt when he met Claire, in order to use RCR when Claude pushed him over the edge. Meaning empathetically. I too thought we should have called it Ability mimicry, but I see it should remain as empathic mimicry.--Catalyst · Talk · HL 18:26, 31 January 2010 (EST)
          • It's not our place to decide when the writers make mistakes, Maldini. Feel free to send them an email or something questioning it, but unless we have some other source against it, it's our job to archive what we've been given.--Riddler 20:52, 31 January 2010 (EST)
            • History of the name: we originally called the ability "power mimicry". After Claude used the word "empath" to describe Peter and his power, we moved the page to "empathy". Much discussion later, we combined the two terms and called it "empathic mimicry" on January 31, 2007. At that point, the name was considered a descriptive name--it was based on something said in a canon source, but there was no canon source for the name. It wasn't until August 5, 2008, I believe, that the assignment tracker map explicitly named Peter's ability. I assume that the writers used Heroes Wiki's name for the power, but I can't be positive. Either way, it's the name that was explicitly given to us, and which we will use. Frankly, I think it's a great name. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 00:03, 1 February 2010 (EST)
  • Remembering how someone made you feel isn't empathy, that's just memory. And it's been proven he could use his powers without "remembering how the doner made him feel" in season 2, when he couldn't even remember who he was, let alone who all his donors were. Plus, it's since been proven that RCR is a passive ability- and doesn't need conscious thought or imperitive, meaning that, in narrative Peter was mistaken due to a coincidence of thought and the passive RCR, and out of narrative, that angle of his power has since been changed or evolved. Empathy is pro-active, simple as. It's not a question of whether it's an acurate name cos it's not, actually, it's not a question at all. And Ryan, I actually like the name too, despite what I'm saying, but I don't have to dislike it to admit it's flawed.--Evil Maldini 11:35, 1 February 2010 (EST)
    • Well is the discussion about a perceived flaw in the name, or about renaming the ability? There are a few comments above about renaming the ability. Despite whatever flaws one may see in the name (I don't see any glaring flaws), there won't be any changes to the name since it was given to us explicitly. However, if the discussion is about the flaws people see, then I'll step out of the way and let y'all discuss it. :) -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 16:27, 1 February 2010 (EST)

The nature of Empathic mimicry...

A discussion carried on over from Arthur's page, what exactly is the nature of EM? Over on Arthur's page, it's being said that EM, perhaps due to Suresh's 'sponge' comment, is the only ability Peter ever had- and all the other abilities that Peter mimicked simply changed the nature of his one ability. Technically if this is correct, it would mean that Peter never actually had access to such powers like Telepathy and RCR in the same way that Matt and Claire did, and that every time he used a copied power, the only power he was ever actually using was EM, every time for every borowed power. Now I'm not saying this is correct, but it does raise the question in the light of Arthur's absorbtion- did he absorb 15 abilities from Peter, or just 1, meaning that he, alike Peter, when using these copied powers, was tapping into EM every time. What do people think?--Evil Maldini 08:52, 6 April 2010 (EDT)

  • Mohinder said that Peter's DNA was like a chameleon, changing itself to make room for new abilities. I believe that Peter's original ability allowed him to integrate new abilities to his system, but was still necessary to access it. For example, Peter had empathic mimicry and mimicked telekinesis. From that point on, he had the DNA needed for both abilities, but in order to access telekinesis, he needed empathic mimicry. Think of as expression of a genetic condition. You can have a gene for a determined characteristic, but if the gene isn't expressed, the characteristic doesn't appear. After integrating an ability, EM would function as an on\off switch. When Arthur took it from Peter, he copied all of the abilities stored in the DNA, and used his own ability as an off switch on Peter's EM, meaning Peter could no longer use it as the on switch to his acquired abilities. I think that's what happened based on Matt Jr. using his ability as the on switch on Hiro's ability. I don't know how it would work on Peter, since he took the formula, and that may have done something to the stored abilities, or perhaps changed the lock for an ability key, so to speak.

    • I think the difference is in the exact usage of EM. I used to think that Peter used his base ability only when making the initial mimic, and after that used the abilities he copied in the same way the original holder would, only Peter had several of course. But if what mc said is true, then Peter doesn't actually have access to Telekinesis at all- only EM, which has re-synched as Suresh was eluding to, to be able to use Telekinetic effects. This could possibly explain why Peter's copied version of an ability is at first and for some time there after less acurate or potent than the original. In this case, Arthur would've absorbed only Peter's loaded EM, as mc suggested, not each ability as an individual, which changes the outlook on things considerably.--Evil Maldini 12:14, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
      • The reason I said about the fact Peter only has one, is that firstly, his ability is empathic mimicry, ie he mimics the ability, not has, and secondly the writers have said and it has been said on here multiple times, people can only have one ability. --mc_hammark 15:42, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
        • In that sense, it would be one jack-of-all-trades ability which can emulate the effects of other abilities, while not necessarily integrating them into the user. It's just a copy. Intuitive Empath - Talk - Contributions 15:50, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
          • And if that is the case, then we should list it on Arthur's page, but remove all the others singularily.--Evil Maldini 16:44, 6 April 2010 (EDT)
            • This seems to be confirmed since HRG said Sylar was the only one with multiple powers, but Claude recognized that Peter was "one of those -- an empath".--BOYCOOL -- THE END IS NIGH. 10:36, 11 April 2010 (EDT)
              • I find this discussion very interesting. It kinda bothered when Arthur stole Peter's ability and he acquired all the ones Peter's mimiced, but after reading this and re-watching the chapter in the first volume where Suresh talks about EM it makes more sense. It also makes for the mixing of abilities to be more plausible it Peter's case; for example body insertion could be a mixture of telepathy, phasing... like that discussion indicates, though I am not implying it actually is. --Inblackestnight 15:54, 4 June 2010

I've always thought of Empathic Mimicry as a Lock on a Door. Peters Empathic Mimicry is the Key and then there's a Door with a Lock blocking the power. He has to use EM to use what's inside the door. Alessia1111 13:28, 9 June 2010 (EDT)

I dont think Peter absorbs abilities. Heres how i see it. Peter is near another evolved human. His ability resequences Peter's DNA to match theirs, granting Peter access to their abiities. He doesnt absorb, he mimics. And when he is not in their presence he uses empathy to recreate that DNA resequencing that grants him access to someone's powers. I remember reading somewhere on the Peter page that when he meets his future self he is only exposed to Empathic Mimicry, meaning peter doesnt actually HAVE the mimicked powers, unlike Sylar, but has to reproduce the resequencing to use them. The reason this ability is so powerful is because Empathic mimicry allows Peter's body to remember all previously mimicked abilities, and all he has to do is recall them. User:peterpetrelli15 17:38, 22 October 2011 (EDT)

Another point i was always curious about. Peter's scar. Which leads to Claire's regenerative powers. Ok, so Peter mimics regeneration and heals in Homecoming. He then recalls the ability in distractions. my question is, since rapid cell regeneration is a passive power does Peter have it constantly active once he recalls it? I mean Sylar's ability of Intuitive Aptitude is generally considered passive and Peter seemed to have it constantly active as he was pressed by the hunger, or he seemed under its influence. It has been established that without the ability Sylar isn't affected by the hunger and he only had the hunger in the second season because he still had his ability, he just couldn't access it. Where as when he didnt have the power thanks to the eclipse he didnt have the hunger. So was Peter constantly accessing an ability that long, as IA helps him understand and control powers better. Or was he screwed because it was now constantly active and he couldn't turn it off? I wish they were more clearer on this. Thoughts? User:peterpetrelli15 19:40, 26 September 2011 (EDT)

Rene

Did Rene help to develop Peter's ability or could he find another way to develop it? In ability development it said,After Rene erases his mind that he recall his abilities without remember the person who he aquired it off.--50000JH 10:55, 26 April 2010 (EDT)

  • In a sense, yes, he was the pebble that started the rockslide, though one could argue that had Thompson not recruited him, he wouldn't be there etc. etc. which is a large debate in itself (much like the chicken and the egg). I think the memory erasure only helped him to develop it faster, not the direct cause of it. --mc_hammark 11:04, 26 April 2010 (EDT)

Doesn't Sylar have this power too?

Isn't it obvious that Sylar has this power too? He was able to use this power to absorb electricity from Elle. He was born with the same power as Peter, then he absorbed his father's intuitive aptitude. His original power wasn't telekinesis, and it wasn't intuitive aptitude, it was empathic mimicry. It's beautiful really, how he was an innocent kid with the same power as the good guy, and then his father corrupted him. 03:15, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

  • No. Sylar has a similar ability, but not the same ability. See here for a previous discussion on the matter. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 13:15, 24 January 2018 (UTC)
