Power mimicry is the ability to duplicate the superhuman abilities of other evolved humans.
Characters
Peter Petrelli is the only character known to have this ability.
Limits
The conditions under which power mimicry occurs are not well known. Peter apparently needs to be close to another evolved human to duplicate his or her abilities. How close Peter needs to get and how long he needs to be close are uncertain.
Examples
- Don't Look Back: Peter duplicates his brother Nathan's ability to fly.
- Hiros: Peter duplicates Isaac's ability to paint the future.
- Homecoming: Peter duplicates Claire's regeneration ability to heal the fatal injuries he received in a long fall.
