About Peter
Peter Petrelli is the younger son of Arthur Petrelli and Angela Petrelli, and Nathan Petrelli'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 witless 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 Empathic mimicry and use the powers of other evolved humans.
Why so many abilities?
Peter's natural passion in life was saving the lives of others and doing good, but all this changed after meaning Ando and absorbing his Supercharging ability. After absorbing Ando's Supercharging ability all Peter's previously absorbed but dawment abilities became active. Having Ando's Supercharging ability also came with a price, which was due to having activated Intuitive Aptitude and the hunger associated with it. Thanks to having a supercharged hunger Peter's need for more abilties became unstoppable and brought out the worst in him. Peter's life is now full of rage and killing as his hunt for new abilities continues.
