Peter's Stupidity
Didn't see that coming....

On multiple occasions, Peter demonstrates extreme acts of stupidity.

Season 1

Genesis

Peter tries a pick-up line on Simone in the presence of her dying father.
Peter chooses to jump from a potentially fatal height to prove that he can fly, as opposed to something safer.

Don't Look Back

Peter fails to notice that he's hovering above the ground while trying to convince his brother that he can fly.

One Giant Leap

Peter repeatedly jumps off a children's playground in public, failing to realize that if he does manage to fly, someone may see. He also doesn't notice the small child enjoying his pain.

Nothing to Hide

Despite all of the lies Nathan has told, Peter believes that Nathan could not obtain the Linderman painting for him.

Unexpected

Although he telekinetically threw Isaac across the room moments earlier, Peter chooses to turn invisible instead of telekinetically disarming the heroin addict engulfed in a jealous rage. Soon after, Simone is accidentally killed.

.07%

Peter again decides that invisibility is the best way to win a fight. He is shortly impaled with a piece of glass in the back of his head.

Season 2

Lizards

Aware of his powers, Peter still agrees to help Ricky rob a sports bar instead of just taking his identity box from Ricky's hands with telekinesis.

Four Months Ago...

Peter skips numerous chances to have sex with Elle.

Peter doesn't even try to fly away from the Haitian instead of running.

Truth & Consequences

Peter trusted Adam without even use telepathy on him.

Powerless

Peter opens the Company's vault with telekinesis and gets a nosebleed, while he could just teleport in.

Season 3

The Second Coming

Future Peter is running down a street. Running. Did he forget he can fly and teleport?

Future Peter tries to convince Future Claire he's up to a good thing, but still ends up stopping time and taking her gun before teleporting to the past.

Future Peter arrives when Nathan is about to reveal the existence of people with abilities and shoots him. He could just go to an earlier date and warn his brother what happens if the world finds out.

I Am Become Death

Peter doesn't believe his future self the formula will destroy the world, despite having had a look at a newspaper. Like he's the one who knows better.

Future Peter says he shouldn't attract attention. Perhaps if he turned invisible, Future Claire wouldn't have shot him.

Peter enters the Bennets' home with burning hands, while he already knows fire cannot harm Sylar.

Peter repeatedly tells Gabriel to give him his power when he knew it comes with a hunger. When he finally acquires it, he kills future Nathan, and almost his present day mother, because of the hunger he was warned about.

Gabriel tells Peter to escape, but he decides to stay and convince Future Claire not to kill little Noah. Again, he forgets about his slate of powerful abilities. As a result, Noah is killed and Costa Verde wiped out.

Dying of the Light

Peter bursts into Pinehearst wielding lightning, but doesn't attack anyone.

Eris Quod Sum

Peter doesn't bother to thank his dad for ridding him of the murderous hunger.

Dual

Peter threatens to shoot Mohinder if he injects himself with the finished formula, although he knows what will happen to Mohinder if he does not.

Peter only realizes he should give himself a shot after Flint sets Pinehearst on fire.

A Clear and Present Danger

Last time Peter saw Nathan, he saved his life and told him he loves him. Now, he doesn't even want to exchange a few words with his brother, who asks him for forgiveness.

Peter accidentally freezes plane 195, creating a hole in the plane.

Exposed

Peter still refuses to believe Nathan, despite Nathan's just saved his life.

Season 4

Tabula Rasa

When shot at by Jeremy Greer, instead of stopping time so he could get close to Jeremy and replicate his ability, Peter instead chooses to sneak around back. He is later shot in the chest. On top of this, he is also unaware for about 15 seconds that he has been shot.

Brother's Keeper

Peter told to "Nathan" to go to Midland and find Matt. Sylar got his body back because Sylar touched Nathan.

Peter replicates flight for healing but forgotten to heal Hiro first.

Thanksgiving

Peter waits patiently for "Nathan" to finish electrocuting himself while Sylar takes over, instead of using the moment to replicate a more useful ability then flight.

The Fifth Stage

Peter chooses to give Nathan a dramatic farewell scene. While Nathan's death is tragic, he somehow forgot that he just let a serial killer loose. Perhaps that nail through the skull would have been a wiser decision.
