Character History
Powerless
At a press conference in Odessa, TX, Nathan, at the podium and flanked by Matt and Peter, introduces himself as a former New York Congressman. When Nathan starts to reveal his ability of flight, he is shot, mid-sentence, twice in the chest, by an unknown assailant, later revealed to be future Peter. Chaos erupts in the press room as Nathan falls to the ground. While present-Peter is occupied catching his brother, future Peter begins to make for the exit. Matt, after failing to discern the assailant's thoughts, appears to catch a glimpse of Peter before he is gone.
Later, Angela Petrelli watches a television news report of her son being shot. The report describes Peter as an "unknown assassin".
The Second Coming
In 2011, Peter is conversing with Claire Bennet. He tells her he can go back and stop the mass genocide on beings with evolved abilities if she trusts him, she responds by saying "I always loved you." Just as Claire fires the pistol, Peter stops time before the bullet hits him. He grabs her gun and teleports to the present day at Nathan's press conference. There, he sees Nathan Petrelli conducting his speech and admittance of his powers. He shoots him twice before he can finish his speech and leaves the area. Present Peter Petrelli follows him with Matt Parkman behind him. They are lead into a bathroom, left empty after the apparant escape of Future Peter.
The Butterfly Effect
Evolved Human Abilities
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. He displayed the ability to use two powers at once several times, he was able to maintain the illusion of his present day self while teleporting and using telekinesis and telepathy.
Powers Mimicked
By 2011, Peter has acquired additional evolved human abilities; after he has acquired the ability, he does not need to be in the person's presence. His known abilities at this time include the following:
- Precognitive dreaming from Angela Petrelli
- Flight from Nathan Petrelli. (Genesis)
- Precognition from Isaac Mendez. (Don't Look Back)
- Rapid cell regeneration from Claire Bennet. (Homecoming)
- Telepathy from Matt Parkman. (Fallout)

New Abilities
In The Second Coming, he demonstrates the ability of illusion by using it to disguise himself as his present day self. He also reveals in The Butterfly Effect that he placed his present day self inside the body of Level 5 prisoner Jesse Murphy. Whether he did this using a known ability or with an obtained one is currently unknown. Where and from whom future Peter obtained these abilities in his original timeline are unknown.
