Character History

Five Years Gone

After Future Hiro and Ando leave the club in Las Vegas, Peter becomes visible and joins Niki at the bar. She explains that they came seeking his help to stop Sylar in the past. She tells him that she sent them to Bennet, and that Peter should leave the past alone. Peter says he won't go anywhere.

Peter goes to Odessa, however, and rescues Future Hiro and Ando from the Homeland Security building. While Future Hiro is recovering, Peter reveals the truth to Ando that Hiro had been hiding: in the explosion, Ando died. Peter speculates that it was Ando's death that drove Hiro to become so obsessive with changing the past.

Leaving Hiro and Ando alone, Peter goes to see Niki. Peter does his best to convince Niki to accept her losses and stop living a lie. However, when Niki forcefully demands why Peter himself is so obsessed with the past, Peter admits that it was he, not Sylar, that destroyed half of New York, and his brother Nathan had used Sylar as a scapegoat to protect Peter. He leaves with Future Hiro and Ando in order to save past Hiro.

In New York, Peter helps Future Hiro clear the guards around the Homeland Security holding facility. However, their progress is impeded by the knowledge that the power-blocking Haitian is on the upper floors. But with a diversion, Peter and the others make it to the room where Hiro is being held, or was, thanks to Mohinder, who has also killed the Haitian. But Future Hiro is then shot and killed by Matt, and Peter keeps Homeland Security at bay. Unfortunately, he too is separated from the group, as he is forcibly phased through the door acting as the last line of defense by none other than his brother. Peter knows that it is not truly Nathan as he only has the power of flight. Sylar then reveals his form, having used Candice's power to disguise himself as Nathan for some time. Peter is enraged by his brother's murder, and the two have a showdown.

Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 1

In 2007, Peter and Future Hiro break into the Moab Federal Penitentiary to rescue Niki Sanders, and are ambushed by Matt Parkman's agents.

Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2

Peter battles an agent who is capable of electromagnetic manipulation and an agent who can run very fast. He absorbs these powers and defeats the agents.

Powers

Like his present-day self, Peter can mimic the powers of other evolved humans he encounters. By 2011, he has been exposed to a number of new powers and has also become far more adept at controlling them.

Powers Mimicked

Peter can duplicate the powers of others; after he has acquired the power, he does not need to be in the person's presence. Peter has demonstrated the powers of:

• Flight from Nathan Petrelli. (Genesis, Don't Look Back, Unexpected)
• Precognition from Isaac Mendez. (Don't Look Back, Hiros, Distractions)
• Rapid cell regeneration from Claire Bennet. (Homecoming, Distractions, .07%)
• Telepathy from Matt Parkman. (Fallout, Distractions, Landslide)
• Invisibility from Claude. (Godsend, The Fix, Distractions, Unexpected, Parasite, .07%, Five Years Gone, Landslide)
• Telekinesis from Sylar. (Unexpected, .07%, Five Years Gone)
• Space/Time manipulation from Future Hiro. (Collision, Hiros, Unexpected, Five Years Gone)
• Pyrokinesis, presumably from Meredith Gordon. (Five Years Gone, Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2)
• Induced radioactivity, from Ted Sprague. (The Hard Part, Landslide)
• Electromagnetism, from one of the guards. (Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2)
• Enhanced speed, from one of the guards. (Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2)

Notes

• Despite being in close proximity to Niki and later being in a relationship with her, Peter has not yet clearly demonstrated enhanced strength. He lifted a door (Walls, Part 1) and pushed a guard (Five Years Gone) which may be examples of the power, but nothing conclusive can be said one way or another.
• In an interview with Extra's John Kelly before the episode aired, Milo Ventimiglia says that in this future his character (Peter) can "walk through walls", but there is no conclusive proof that he did. All of Peter's sudden appearances that aired in the episode can be explained by use of invisibility and/or teleportation. It is true that Peter could have absorbed Sylar's phasing ability due to their encounter.
• In the episode Five Years Gone, Peter has a clearly visible scar across his face. It is unknown why this scar exists if Peter absorbed Claire Bennet's healing ability.

Trivia

• When Future Peter, Future Hiro and Ando raid the Homeland Security facility where present-day Hiro is being held captive, Future Peter sports a black coat that looks nearly identical to the one worn by Neo in The Matrix series. Future Peter's demeanor and mannerisms also resemble those of Neo during the sequence. The raid sequence itself could also be likened to the lobby shootout in the first Matrix film.
