Why doesnt Hero just freeze time when he decides to actually play the part of a hero, and same with peter... why didnt peter just freeze time, walk into the building filled with his dad and villains and take his time to look around and scope the place out.

If Hero decides he needs to find someone, or get something done then I dont understand why he doesnt freeze time and do what ever he needs getting done while time is frozen... Anyways I still love the show!

*Hiro.

Peter apparently never uses the freeze shit anymore.

Also it's kinda obvious he was angry and shit and didn't feel like thinking.

I could've sworn someone else had a freezing power, like before the triplet showed up. It might have been either future peter or sylar. If it was future Peter that had freezing, he must've gotten it from the triplet, but he hasn't even met her yet and can't copy powers anymore. Maybe future Peter gets his dads ability and stole all those powers. idk

Sylar got the freezing ability from an unknown victim and used it to kill Molly Walker's dad.

Ah, that's what it was. I guess there can be people with the same power, like Isaac and Africa guy.

Or like... Claire and Adam...?

Yeah, but Adams power is a little more advanced than Claires. He doesn't age. We don't know if Claire doesn't age though I guess.

"Adam Monroe seems to have lived for centuries without aging significantly. Angela Petrelli confirms that this is an effect of his ability (Cautionary Tales)"

I don't think Nathan is actually part of the family, he might be adopted. Arthur passed on his power stealing abilities to Peter and Sylar by way of passing his genes to them probably. But Nathans ability is flight, and his power was given to him. Claire probably got her power from given to her by them taking Adams blood and extracting the DNA from it or whatever and implanting it in her.

So it seems the person with the initial power has a more powerful form of the power, and those who get the powers from the initial person (by the powers being given to them, or by way of genetics) is more diluted.

Mohinder can't really be included, since he didn't really perfect the powers. Do we know who Claire's real father is? I totally forgot a bunch of stuff from the past 2 seasons, but I don't remember them saying who the father was. Maybe it was Adam and she got her genes from him? That would hold up to the family genetic power stuff.


But... your theory of Sylars ability not really being a power might hold true. When he first went to Mohinder he was told he didn't have any powers. Peter might just end up crackin' his skull open and getting his powers back.

You know, I was think about Nathan being her dad like during all these posts, I guess it just slipped my mind. just tryin' to hard to piece things together.

god i have a horrible memory

Wait, did they mention or show Peter's dad before sometime? Or was the end of the last episode his first appearance/mention?

My memory's bad, plus this show is convoluted as anything.
