What is the strongest power in Heroes?

Peter Petrelli, hands down! He can take on the power of any other "hero" he encounters. That would make his powers endless!

I say the haitian. How can someone use his powers if it is nullified by someone who can suppress(prevent from using) it. Power-wise = the Haitian. Power-strength = Peter.

Peter petrelle has the strongest power hands down.

I would say Peter's power, since he can collect any power and use it so no matter what the power is he can have it.

It is no denying that peter has the most power, studying other's power, but his shortcoming is cannot control the powers which he has.

for certain Peter have a amazing powers, but i think is more cool to travel in time and stop it like Hiro. He is my fav and think that he is the most powerfull person ;) because he can be everywhere in any time he want to be :D

uhmmm the power or the person? I think there is no powerfull power because every power is same... but... if you ask the person... the person must be peter & sylar... can you imagine just if peter can do what the haitian can do... peter could stop anybody with haitian mute ability...

Peter's power is the most powerful once he has encountered others. In the first season, however, he was matched by Sylar, who has intuitive aptitude. Although it is a different mechanism, it is used by Sylar for much the same purpose. So, Peter can empathically absorb powers just by being near to other heroes. That seems superior to Sylar's intuitive aptitude at first blush, but lets think of other situations. Before Peter and Sylar are exposed to other heroes (remember the question is who's power is strongest, not which character is currently strongest) neither can do much of anything unique. Before Peter encounters others with Powers, he has no verifiable abilities. He might be resistant to the powers of others, as he has shown an ability to see the invisible man and could move even when Hiro stopped time. However, for all we know the resistance to the powers of others is just another power he has absorbed from someone he met along the way. Peter's control over powers that he mimics varies. He seems to have a harder time using powers that require active concentration. Originally, he could only manifest a power in proximity to the person he absorbed it from. (This later changed.) It should also be noted that he doesn't have the choice to absorb or not absorb a power. Therefore, if he was put in the presence of a Hero with a cursed sort of power that makes him sick like a cancer or threatens to make him self-explode. Sylar, meanwhile, before meeting other heroes has a power which can do something demonstrable. He can analyze any system he comes across intuitively and with little need for equipment. He can analyze mechanical and biological systems. And this analysis has allowed Sylar to kill other Heroes and take their powers. Before meeting other people with Powers, he might have been able to use his system to understand how things work. Like security systems, computer systems, financial systems, jackpot machines, and the like. A power like Intuitive aptitude could have been used to 'bootstrap' wealth. This, in the absence of people with powers, Sylar's power could have an interesting effect. Introducing people and powers, Intuitive aptitude, it is the same as Peter's ability with the exception that 1) Sylar can choose which powers to absorb. 2) He must, apparently, kill his victim to gain their powers. 3) Is there any established reason why Sylar can't give someone *else* a power that he steals from someone. 4) He typically masters powers he steals faster than the people he steals them from -- presumably because his power can tell him how the other powers operate. 5) One would expect that his power would allow him to analyze and understand the limits and circumstances of other heroes' powers as well. These are not powers that Peter possesses. While killing people to get their powers is a downside, of course, determining the 'stronger' power requires some value judgments. I would probably side with Sylar -- if one were willing to kill to acquire powers.

isn't it obvious? PETER. Hehehe. But I personally love the Haitian's power.

Peter's, hands down, as long as he doesn't encounter anyone with an undesirable power (like that fish dude in those Mask cartoons).

I go with Peter Petrelli, too. If he meets the Haitian, he gets the Haitian's power as well. The ability to absorb every other power is pretty phenomenal. As far as Hiro goes...I like his character, but one of these days, he going to crap himself straining so hard! John

I think Hiro Nakamura's Power is the best he can take his time to learn anything. All we know That Peter Petrelli posses the best power on heroes U.U but the haitian beats him easyly :P

i think peter power is the powerfull. he can absorb other power and used it like it one. i thought it will cool if i have it.

I am not that far into the series yet, I only started watching season 1 last week from my computer that a friend gave me. Its really good but I am only coming into the people and their powers now. I think that the cheerleader has got an awsome power, I would kill to have that power...

Agreed. Peter is a force to be reckoned with since he can have almost an unseen amount of powers. And he's pretty much immortal (or can't easily die)

Peter Petrelli is the most powerful because he absorbs powers of people he encounter.

Peter. Empath powers trump all others, no question.
