Peter's 1 at a time Power- INCONSISTENCY?

[VyncintHeart]

I really don't see why Peter can't take more than one. If he tried hard enough and worked at I believe he could definately evolve his ability. Sylar had found a way to take powers without opening his victim's brain. So why couldn't Peter train himself to hold more than one power?

something i didnt htink about in the upcoming episode is that peter obviously gets hiro's power, to go back and try to save him, so he could probably go back and get his old powers back too, i hope it works out this way

You're right.

That's what i been hoping for since last season. I'm crossing my fingers waiting for a big reveal, hopefully sooner rather than later.

its because peter was feeling empathy for the girl and didn't realize she had a power. as far as i can tell, he can touch others without accidentally switching powers as long as he isn't trying to empathize with them.

BUT.. he WAS empathizing with sullivan! sullivan was acting like he just lost his brother, etc., and peter was REALLY feelin' for him, and taking the time to listen.

also, with the ink INSIDE peter, sullivan can still manipulate it, right? like how he made the ink into a hand and choked that super fast guy with knives.

It was very obvious that Sullivan was trying to be sneaky and make Peter empathize with him so Peter would take his power. But i don't think Peter was buying it. Peter even said "Is this a scam, you want money?"

i see what you're saying, but i still think peter was truly empathizing with sullivan (the way sylar would try to empathize/understand too). because when he said "is this a scam," it was before sullivan inked himself into the newspaper clipping, i believe. and then after that, peter was like, "oh snap, he WAS there," and he went to sullivan truly apologizing ('coz peter's a good guy like that).

But Peter never took Sullivan's power. Sullivan just put ink on his skin, like he does with Lydia and like he did with Edgar [When he choked him]. So Sullivan would be able to control the ink still.
