• Peter Petrelli | ||||||
He is a former hospice nurse in his mid-20s with the power to absorb and mimic the powers
of other evolved humans. Sensitive and compassionate, he is also defined by his complex
relationship with his older brother, Nathan.
The tensions are exacerbated when Peter starts having extraordinarily vivid dreams of flying. He confides in Nathan, who passes them off as a sign of psychological distress. Peter summons Nathan to witness as he jumps off a building to prove he can fly. However, it's Nathan who flies, catching Peter as he falls. Peter blacks out after the brothers lose their grip on each other, waking up in the hospital with muddled recollections of what happened. Nathan claims neither of them flew and Peter is led to believe he's going crazy. The first hints of Peter's greater destiny come when he is contacted by a future version of Hiro Nakamura, a man with the power to manipulate time and space. Hiro has come to give Peter a message: "Save the cheerleader, save the world." He urges Peter to be "the one we need". |
