Evolved Human Ability[]
Original Ability[]
- Main article: Empathic Mimicry
Peter originally possessed the ability of Empathic Mimicry, allowing him to mimic the abilities of others after being near them. He originally thought that he could fly but it was Nathan who could fly and Peter mimicked his ability.
In the beginning, when new to his powers, he could only mimic others' abilities when they were near him. He couldn't fly when Nathan wasn't around and he became visible when Claude walked away from him. The only ability he could use when away from the original user was Precognition from Isaac Mendez. Claude began training Peter so that he could "recall" someone else's ability and use it when they're not around him. Claude pushed him off a building, intending for him to fly but he landed on a car and regenerated with Claire's ability, even though she wasn't anywhere near him.
After his mind was erased by the Haitian and he had been in Ireland and came back the United States, he had lots of abilities at his disposal including Invisibility, Flight, Telekinesis, Telepathy, Precognition, Radiation Emission, Electrokinesis, Enhanced Strength, Phasing, Intuitive Aptitude, Regeneration, and Space-Time Manipulation.
The following is a list of all the abilities that Peter had mimicked before his abilities were taken away.
- Precognitive Dreaming from Angela Petrelli

Current Ability[]

All of Peter's abilities were stolen from him by his father. But when Peter found the formula he injected himself to save his brother from the fire. He replicated Flight from Nathan and flew him away. Later, Peter confesses that he can only mimic one ability at a time and when he absorbs a new ability, he loses the old one.
He was able to keep his current ability and not absorb a new power when he came into contact with Nathan. But when he bumped into Emma, he immediately absorbed her ability without meaning to.
