Peter Petrelli is the younger son of Arthur and Angela Petrelli, and Nathan's brother, and worked as a common hospice nurse caring for Charles Deveaux while living in New York City. Peter appeared to his family as a hopeless dreamer, who believed he had a greater place in life than just saving one life at a time. He discovered he was an evolved human who had the ability to absorb and use the powers of other evolved humans. Peter decided to use his abilities to save the world, and continues to try and be a hero, despite having his powers stolen by his father, who was believed to be dead. However, with the actual death of his father, his acquisition of a new ability, and his ignorance to his brother's death, Peter's future remains uncertain.

Character History

Season One

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Peter Petrelli: Season One History.

Peter Petrelli is a hospice nurse who keeps having amazing dreams that he can fly. Later, he stands on top of a building, throws himself off, and is saved by his brother Nathan, who can also fly. Peter eventually learns that his power is actually the ability to absorb the powers of those he meets. Peter visits Mohinder Suresh, looking for the author of Activating Evolution. While Peter and Mohinder are on a subway train, time freezes, and Peter has a visit from a Japanese man, who tells him that Peter must "save the cheerleader, save the world".

When he meets Isaac Mendez, Peter finished a painting depicting a dead and mutilated cheerleader. Peter realizes he must save this girl, and upon seeing another painting, heads to a homecoming, in Odessa, TX. There, he meets Claire Bennet, and manages to stop her from being killed by a mysterious stranger. He falls off a building and breaks several bones, although he regenerates, when Claire finds him, mimicking her power.

Outside the sheriff's department, Peter collapses and has a vision of himself bursting into red flames and exploding in the middle of the city. Peter meets the invisible Claude Rains, who helps Peter discover that he can access the powers he has absorbed by thinking of the person from whom he absorbed the ability. But their progress in Peter's training is stopped when Bennet comes after them.

Later, Peter visits Isaac's loft again, and confronts the painter about his association with Mr. Bennet. A fight ensues, and Simone is accidentally shot. Then, Peter visits Mohinder's apartment, but is confronted by Sylar, who begins to cut off the top of Peter's head. However, Peter heals his wound, fights Sylar, and "dies" when struck with a shard of glass in his brain. He revives when Claire removes the shard. At Kirby Plaza, Peter absorbs Ted's power, and has difficulty controlling it. Peter has a seemingly final confrontation with Sylar. They trade blows, and Peter's hands begin to glow dangerously. He tells Claire to shoot him, but Nathan descends from the sky, picks up his brother, and flies away into the sky where Peter explodes.

Season Two

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Peter Petrelli: Season Two History.

At a shipping yard in Cork, Ireland, Ricky, Tuko, and Will search for a shipping container for iPods, but find a half-naked Peter handcuffed inside the empty container who can't remember anything. When attacked, he shocks Tuko and looks completely surprised. The men tie up Peter in a pub, where he later heals from cuts, escapes through ropes, and disarms a man who attacks Caitlin, Ricky's sister. When Ricky later asks Peter about helping them on a job, he tells Peter his name and offers a box of Peter's belongings as a reward. After using his ability to help Ricky, Will betrays Ricky and shoots Peter. Peter, however, heals himself and chokes Will before letting him go. Ricky thanks him and accepts him as family. He gives Peter the box, but Peter doesn't open it, and instead hopes for a new future with Caitlin.

A woman asks about Peter at the docks, and Ricky tells Peter to stay with Caitlin at her flat. While there, Peter finds in the box his passport, a plane ticket to Montreal, and a picture of himself and a man. Peter sees a blank canvas, then starts painting a picture. When he finishes, Peter sees a painting of himself and Caitlin in Montreal. Caitlin receives a phone call, and the two find Ricky killed, and Peter decides the two need to go to Montreal. They find a warehouse at the intersection Peter painted, and the two find a note from Adam written to Peter. Peter hugs Caitlin, and is suddenly teleported in the future. While there, Peter learns that a virus killed 97% of the human race. Before he can save Caitlin, he teleports back to present time, and is confronted by a stranger.

The stranger reveals himself as Adam Monroe, and helps Peter remember the things he forgot by suggesting Peter use his healing power to restore his memory. Peter then remembers everything, including the night of the explosion. After Nathan and Peter flew into the air and before Peter exploded, Peter told Nathan to let go of him. The blast from the explosion burns and knocks out Nathan, who is then saved by Peter. He then remembers after saving Nathan he brought him to a hospital, where he was captured by Elle and Bob. Peter was then in by the Company so he couldn't hurt anyone. They give him ability negation pills so he cannot use his ability. He is put in a cell next to Adam's cell, where the two decide to escape to help save Nathan. After Adam gives Nathan some of his blood, the two try to get to Montreal, but are met by Elle and the Haitian. They separate, and the Haitian forces Peter into a container in a shipping yard. He takes his memory and leaves him there for a "fresh start". After remembering everything, Adam and Peter decide to save the world.

Peter and Adam go to see Victoria Pratt, who was a founder and knows about the virus. Peter goes in alone, and tries to get information from her. After Peter leaves, Victoria comes out of the house and attempts to shoot Peter, but before she shoots Adam, knocks her out. They find out that the virus is at Primatech Paper, and then Adam kills Victoria. When the two arrive at Primatech, time suddenly stops, and Hiro appears. Hiro tells Peter he must kill Adam, but Peter prevents it, knocking out Hiro by shocking him. Time unfreezes, and the two make their way to the Company vault. Peter rips the door off the vault, but Hiro teleports to stop them. Peter begins to choke Hiro with telekinesis, but Matt appears and attempts to make him stop choking Hiro. Peter stops Matt by mimicking the other aspect of Matt's telepathy then throws him back. Nathan comes and tells Peter that Adam is trying to release the virus, and he's using Peter. When the three run to the vault, Adam and Hiro are gone and the vial containing the Shanti virus is about to hit the floor, but Peter catches the vial just in time. Peter destroys the vial, then Nathan suggests that they stop the Company and take their abilities public. Nathan calls a press conference, but before he can reveal his secret he is shot by an assassin. Nathan collapses into Peter's arms.

Season Three

For an episode-by-episode summary, see Peter Petrelli: Season Three History.

In Volume Three, Peter starts off going after the assasin that shot Nathan him from the future and when confronting him he was sent into Jesse Murphy's body (in Level 5) He remained inside the body yelling he was Peter Petrelli and later Elle Bishop uncontrolably, releases the Level 5 escapees and "Jesse", The German, Knox, and Flint Gordon, Jr. go to reak havoc. He tried to contact Nathan and explain the situation he was in wanting to stop the others but did not know Jesse's power.The group went to rob a bank and take hostages to get Noah Bennet to come. Knox discovers "Jesse" is different after standing up to Flint and he later manages to discover he has Sound-Control and fights Knox and Flint trying to rescue Noah.

Future Peter then comes freezing time and lets him out of Jesse's body. He argues with his future self till Future Peter time travels into the future. Peter learns in the Exposed Future everyone gains powers and learns this will destroy the world. He learns he has to go see Sylar and his Future Self is shot by a future version of Claire and he escapes knocking out the Haitian during his escape.He goes to locate the Future Mohinder learning he tried to gain abilties and became a monster. He asked where Sylar was and reads his mind to learn he's in Costa Verda. He heads to Costa Verda and finds Sylar. He learns about his normal life and convinces Sylar to teach him how to use Intuitive Aptitude after forcing Sylar to paint the future. Peter than gains control of his powers as Future versions of Daphne, Claire, and Knox arrive.

Peter copies Daphne's power and begins to fight the trio with Sylar until Knox kills Noah and Sylar explodes destroying Costa Verda. Later Peter was captured and tortured by Future Claire as he argued he could save the world. Future Nathan came and stopped Claire and freed Peter. He argued with his brother and his hunger caused him to kill Nathan. Peter is shocked and teleports back to the present day in Sylar's cell. He tells him about the future and breaks his neck and later he nearly kills Angela until Sylar knocks him out and he is placed in a medically induced coma. Later Sylar freed Peter and he left to read Angela's mind getting the words Pinehearst and took Sylar's card prepared to go there. Sylar argued and he fought him claiming to be the most special. He teleported to Pinehearst sneaked in and found Knox,Maury, Daphne, Flint, and Arthur. He was shocked to see his father who quickly betrayed him and absorbed his abilties. He is later locked up in a cell and tries to convince his father to stop his plan.

Peter plans an escape but Arthur stops him and he mets Mohinder who prepares to use him as a test subject till Sylar arrives to save him and he escapes running for his life as Arthur comes. Peter locates Sylar and tries to convince him to kill Arthur but Sylar instead telekentically tosses Peter out of a seven story building. He survives and finds Elle and Claire. The latter takes him away to his apartment and he meets up with Nathan and Tracy telling them the situation. Flint and Knox come after him and he teams up with Claire to escape but later ends up rescueing her. He goes to Primatech Reserch meeting up with Matt,Daphne, and Angela. She devises a plan to stop Arthur and he goes to Haiti with Nathan to get the Haitian. An Ecplise happens and Nathan looses his powers. He works with Nathan to find Haitian and than Baron Samedi and his men kidnap Nathan as Peter escapes with Haitian.

Peter works with Haitian to incapacitate Samedi, and free Nathan. He than holds off Samedi's men to allow his brother and Haitian to escape. However the Ecplise ended and Nathan and Haitian returned using their powers to save him and defeat Samedi. He argued with Nathan who believed Arthur was right and flew away. Peter returned to America with Haitian where he meets up with Angela and gets a Company Gun. He and Haitian go to Pinehearst and locate Arthur and right as Arthur begins to regain his powers Peter tries to shoot him but Sylar arrives and uses Lie Detection to reveal Arthur is not his father and they are not related. He murders Arthur and Peter sends Haitan after him. Peter goes and finds Nathan knocking him out and teaming up with Flint and Knox to destroy the formula and incapacitate Mohinder. After Flint starts a fire he injects himself with the formula and runs over to Nathan flying away. Later Nathan is ungrateful and flies away.



In Volume Four, Nathan had gone to The President and exposed Evolved humans starting a secret government project to "round up" all evolved humans and place them in camps. Peter is back to living a normal life as a nurse helping people and receives a call from Claire who tells him about the plot Nathan and Angela were developing to capture evolved humans and that him and Matt were targets. He soon encountered Mohinder driving a taxi like in Genesis. Later, at the Petrelli mansion, he spoke to his brother Nathan promising to fight him if he planned to capture the evolved humans and revealed he could fly. Noah and Nathan captured him and later on the plane he was awakened by Claire who snook on. He than absorbed Mohinder's ability and fought Guards while Claire freed the others.

He than replicated Tracy's power and put a hole in the plane causing it to crash. He survived thanks to Mohinder and later ran with Claire until Noah came and took Claire allowing Peter to escsape. He met up with Tracy and decided to team up with her as he told her about his new power Ability Replication and how he could not control it as much as his old powers. They made a plan tricking Nathan although the plan failed as Tracy was grabbed and Peter replicated Nathan's power and escaped due to Noah not being able to kill him. Peter gathered Matt Parkman, Hiro Nakamura, Ando Masahashi, and Mohinder gather together and discuss how to lay low and what they need to do based on Matt's drawings. Peter met up with Matt and Mohinder bringing drugs to incapacitate Noah. Peter, Matt, and Mohinder then capture Noah by drugging his drink. He helped them carry him to a hotel room so Matt could telepathically interrogate Noah. Peter learned of Noah's hidden storage room and flew there to get supplies for the Fugitives.He used the combination code to break in and get the supplies alerting Danko and his men of his presence.

He managed to escape by using a flash grenade and returned to the motel stopping Noah from escaping. Peter learned of Danko's adress and left to confront him holding him at gun-point till Nathan arrived and said men had been sent to get Mohinder and Matt, Peter left to rescue his friends and only managed to get Matt in time. He flew to Isaac's loft where Matt painted himself exploding in DC. Peter decided he would help Matt rescue Daphne and suddenly somone named Rebel sent them a message saying agents were coming and Daphne's location. Peter and Matt head to Building 26 where he replicates Telepathy and the two manage to break in and get to the control room where he tries to find Daphne learning she was moved and down-loads footage of evolved humans being loaded onto Flight 195. He copied the footage onto a flash-drive and tried to escape with Matt but only he mangaed to escape as Rebel managed to cut the power temporarily. Peter later called Nathan black-mailing him into making a deal to get Daphne and Matt back meeting Noah who warns him with his thoughts that it's a trap. He was shot in the shoulder by Danko and fell off a roof only to rescued by Nathan. He met up with his mother as well and pretended to give up but replicated Flight from Nathan and escaped.

Peter than gave the tape to the Media and later he came to save his mother Angela when she was cornored by Agents and later to her to the church where she married Arthur and he spoke to God and later as Noah and Danko's agents came he learned she lied and manipulated the family to save the world.Noah found them and let them go.

He than searches for Nathan with Claire and attends "Sylar's" funeral.



Evolved Human Abilities

Original Ability

Much mystery surrounded Peter's status and abilities, or lack thereof, early in the series. While every main character was said outright to have a power in press releases, Peter was simply billed as "trying to convince his brother he can fly". Later, after his brother flew, Peter himself displayed the ability to levitate not long afterward (Don't Look Back). Peter is actually an empathic mimic who duplicates the powers of others. His crude levitation sketch shows that he gained Isaac's ability to draw the future, but without needing to be induced by drugs (Don't Look Back). Later, Peter visits Isaac and finishes Isaac's painting without the aid of heroin or any other drug (Hiros).

Early on, Peter's duplicated powers typically only lasted while the person he was mimicking was nearby. He was unable to fly when not in the presence of Nathan, and he became visible when Claude walked away from him, but he was still able to use Isaac's precognition the day after he met him (Don't Look Back). In Distractions, he duplicated Claire's power of regeneration, even though he had not been near her for weeks; this was the first time he ever consciously "recalled" a mimicked power.

While Peter's crude stick figure drawings originally seemed to indicate that he could duplicate only someone's powers, and not their skills, the painting he completed at Isaac's studio seems fairly well done (though not of the same style). This could indicate that his ability is maturing and developing, much like the others with powers.

After Peter first discovered his powers, he generally used one power at any given time. As he gained greater control over his ability, Peter demonstrated that he was able to access multiple powers at once.

In Dying of the Light all of Peter's abilities were taken away by his father

Abilities Mimicked

Prior to having his power stolen by Arthur Petrelli, Peter was able to duplicate the abilities of other evolved humans; after he acquired the ability, he did not need to be in the person's presence. To date, Peter had conclusively duplicated the abilities of:


Abilities Exposed To

Other evolved humans had been within Peter's proximity, exposing him to their abilities. However, Peter never exhibited these abilities:

In the original timeline, Peter was exposed to Sylar's enhanced memory. (Homecoming) However, Hiro Nakamura went back in time, preventing Sylar from obtaining it in the first place. (Once Upon a Time in Texas)

Current Abilities

In Dual, Peter injected himself with the formula in order to save his brother from a fire. After he injected himself, he was able to use flight and fly from the exploding building with Nathan. In A Clear and Present Danger, Peter is shown demonstrating a variation of ability mimicry, mimicking an ability only after touching another evolved human. It is similar to his father's ability to steal other abilities by touch, yet different in that the source of the ability can still use their ability after Peter performs the process.

According to Peter, he can now only mimic one ability at a time, losing the old ability in order to acquire the new one (Trust and Blood).

Peter has shown control over his replication. For example, he held Nathan by the neck to hold him hostage, and didn't replicate his flight until the last second before he escaped. (Trust and Blood) He showed control another time when he flew with Matt Parkman, apparently without replicating his ability of telepathy. (Cold Wars)

Abilities Replicated

The following abilities were replicated after Peter gained a new ability synthetically:

Notes

  • Milo Ventimiglia (Peter Petrelli), in a behind-the-scenes video, reveals that Peter passes out at the end of Fallout because he is overwhelmed by all of the abilities he has been absorbing.
  • Nathan Petrelli is Claire's biological father (Distractions), which would make Peter her uncle. Despite their many interactions, Peter was unaware of his connection to Claire, according to his mother, Angela (.07%).
  • According to Joe Pokaski, Peter has the ability to recall all of the powers of those he has been in contact with.
  • On one of the covers of Entertainment Weekly's May 11th, 2007 issue (#933, cover 3 of 5), Peter is shown to be exhibiting pyrokinesis, although, at the time, Peter did not meet any evolved humans known to possess pyrokinesis. He does, however, seem to exhibit the ability at the end of Five Years Gone and in Walls, Part 2. This may be a continuity error on the part of Entertainment Weekly.
  • In an interview, Chris Zatta and Chuck Kim state that Peter can use any ability just as easy as another. They further state that he can use them in combinations, though they note and that he may have difficulty using all of his abilities at once, and that certain combinations, such as electric manipulation and pyrokinesis, may not work as cleanly in tandem as others.
  • After injecting himself with the formula (Dual), Peter was granted a new version of his original ability altogether. During the plane crash (A Clear and Present Danger), Peter required physical contact to absorb Mohinder and Tracy's abilities, rather than just being near them. He also couldn't use Mohinder's ability once he had taken on Tracy's. It should also be noted that in Dual, Peter did not fly until he came into physical contact with Nathan. This new ability now more closely resembles that of the X-Men's Rogue from Marvel Comics, except without the life force draining aspect.
  • Peter, like the rest of the Petrelli family, is Roman Catholic, and of Italian descent.

Trivia

  • In an interview, Tim Sale said, "Peter's [likeness] is kind of easier to caricature because he's got that silly hair and that kind of knife-like face."
  • Both his first name and last name, Peter and Petrelli, come from the Greek word "petra"(πέτρα) meaning "rock".
  • In an interview, Jason La Padura said that Peter and Nathan were originally written to be twins.
  • According to the official site for the Season One DVD, Peter's AIM screen name is ppetrelli07.
  • In the commentary for .07%, Andrew Chambliss says that Tim Kring's early drafts of the pilot call Peter "Harrison", "Ethan", and other names. His last name was Cambell, and he was supposed to be in his mid-30s.
  • The style of a floppy angular fringe hairstyle has been named a Petrelli.
