About Peter
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 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 absorb and use the powers of other evolved humans.
Why so many abilities?
Peter's passion in life was saving the lives of others and doing good. All this changed after meaning Ando and absorbing his Supercharging ability. Once Peter had absorbed Supercharging all previously absorbed but unseen abilities became unlocked. Peter's Empathic Mimicry also became Supercharged giving him the ability of globalised ability absorption and gaining all abilities. Having the Supercharging ability also came with a price. This was due to having activated Intuitive Aptitude and the hunger associated with it. This hunger became supercharged and turned Peter into a crazed unstoppable killer.
