Character History


In the present, Future Hiro tells present-day Peter that he looks different without the scar and that Future Peter told him he felt lost before it all began.

Five Years Gone

After Future Hiro and Ando leave the club in Las Vegas, Peter becomes visible and joins Niki at the bar. She explains that they came seeking his help to stop Sylar in the past. She tells him that she sent them to Bennet, and that Peter should leave the past alone. Peter says he won't go anywhere.

Peter goes to Odessa, however, and rescues Future Hiro and Ando from the Homeland Security building. While Future Hiro is recovering, Peter reveals the truth to Ando that Hiro had been hiding: in the explosion, Ando died. Peter speculates that it was Ando's death that drove Hiro to become so obsessive with changing the past.

Leaving Hiro and Ando alone, Peter goes to see Niki. Peter does his best to convince Niki to accept her losses and stop living a lie. However, when Niki forcefully demands why Peter himself is so obsessed with the past, Peter admits that it was he, not Sylar, that destroyed half of New York, and his brother Nathan had used Sylar as a scapegoat to protect Peter. He leaves with Future Hiro and Ando in order to save past Hiro.

In New York, Peter helps Future Hiro clear the guards around the Homeland Security holding facility. However, their progress is impeded by the knowledge that the power-blocking Haitian is on the upper floors. But with a diversion, Peter and the others make it to the room where Hiro is being held, or was, thanks to Mohinder, who has also killed the Haitian. But Future Hiro is then shot and killed by Matt, and Peter keeps Homeland Security at bay. Unfortunately, he too is separated from the group, as he is forcibly phased through the door acting as the last line of defense by none other than his brother. Peter knows that it is not truly Nathan as he only has the power of flight. Sylar then reveals his form, having used Candice's power to disguise himself as Nathan for some time. Peter is enraged by his brother's murder, and the two have a showdown.

Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 1

In 2007, Peter and Future Hiro break into the Moab Federal Penitentiary to rescue Niki Sanders, and are ambushed by Matt Parkman's agents.

Graphic Novel:Walls, Part 2

Peter battles an agent who has electric manipulation and one who has super speed. He absorbs these powers and defeats the agents.

Evolved Human Abilities

Like his present-day self was once able, Future Peter can mimic the powers of other evolved humans he encounters and reproduce them at will. By 2011, he has been exposed to a number of new powers and has also become far more adept at controlling them.

At this time Peter still seems to favor his invisibility, as he used it multiple times to spy on first Niki and then to watch over Hiro and Ando. Peter no longer seems to favor flight as he uses space-time manipulation to teleport in and out of places. He also shows skill in using the power to freeze time. As for offensive powers, it appears Peter is more diverse in his choices, his offensive powers range from telekinesis to pyrokinesis. He isn't opposed to utilizing newly gained powers in combat, like his electric ability and super speed gained in the Moab Federal Penitentiary break.

Abilities Mimicked

By 2011 in the "explosion future," Peter has acquired additional evolved human abilities; after he has acquired the ability, he does not need to be in the person's presence. His known abilities at this time are:

Abilities Exposed To

By 2011 in the "explosion future," other evolved humans have been within Peter's proximity, exposing him to their abilities. These abilities Peter has not yet exhibited:

Memorable Quotes

"Why? Why does it fall on your shoulders to save everyone?"

"Because, it was me! The bomb? It was me. I killed all those people. I killed Micah!"

"No. It was Sylar. Everyone knows!"

"It wasn't. Nathan lied. He lied to protect me. He told everybody it was Sylar."

- Niki, Peter (Five Years Gone)

"You're gonna pay for what you did to Nathan... What you did in his name!"

- Peter to Sylar (Five Years Gone)



  • When Future Peter, Future Hiro and Ando raid the Homeland Security facility where present-day Hiro is being held captive, Future Peter sports a black coat that looks nearly identical to the one worn by Neo in The Matrix series. Future Peter's demeanor and mannerisms also resemble those of Neo during the sequence. The raid sequence itself could also be likened to the lobby shootout in the first Matrix film.
