Peter Petrelli is too powerful in Heroes

I think as far as sheer number of powers, Peter and Sylar are even. And, Peter isn't always in control of his powers, which is why he couldn't stop himself from exploding in season 1. I think that's what keeps him from being too powerful. His powers are tied to his emotions, and he's not really calm, cool, and collected.

personaly i think Peter and Syler are one in the same i think that it will come to them being against each other and then we will see what Peter has.
and i think that Peter will learn how to use his powers this season.

I agree Peter just has everything. The "super hero" no pun intended...... well never mind. Personally I think the series would be much more interesting if all characters had there own abilities and that was that. Maybe a few had more than one but none of this one hero absorbing all the others. In the end it will always be sylar and peter at the end which will get old.

Season 2 was certainly a bit of an odd one personally. I just hope that they learn from there mistakes and make future seasons GREAT like the 1st one.

I think that, ultimately, Peter's lack of a killer attitude despite his being a power sponge, makes him at par with Sylar. And who knows, maybe Peter encounters someone who has an uncool worthless power (think Fish Dude from the Mask cartoons).

I think Peter is one of the best characters on the show. I do not think that they make him weak. I think they make him vulnerable at times but what is more important is that no matter the situation, Peter is a good man who doesn't abuse his powers. It is the timeless question. Does absolute power always corrupt absolutely or is it the weakness of the man who has the power that allows him to become corrupt. Peter is the ultimate good guy. Regardless of what has happened, Peter is always deep in the core, a good man.

You know what I want to see? Every single person with powers against Peter Petrelli!

yes. i think so too. he is soo powerful no one can actually beat him in heroes.:) his aility to absorb every power is just amazing and unbelievable. he he

When I first give Peter Petrelli a serious thinking, I thought that he was the equivalent of Jean Grey in the Xmen series and/or movies. He is indeed very powerful. To be curtailed, certain situations had to created - Jean Grey's psychic blocks, Peter Petrelli's amnesia. Peter's power surely resembles perfectly with that of Rogue. But the way he is portrayed in the series, he can match the power of Jean Grey - someone who is so powerful to be considered class five.

What is important in Petrelli's character lies in the fact that he is a good person, and can wield his power for good purposes as well, at least, if not into some kind of amnesia or something. It is his gift. Unlike Jean Grey, who in her inner recesses is sheer energy, joy and rage, Peter is someone certainly in control. He is way too powerful. But that is secondary I think. What stands to be more important for him - and for his creator's to maintain - would be to be in control.

I would argue that Sylar is too powerful, and that Peter's powers were raised to such a level in the story to counter-balance him. In the end, Peter is the only one that can really stand blow-for-blow with Sylar. The only issue is that Peter cannot always control his powers, e.g. Ted's nuclear ability. This novelty of discovering and absorbing new powers and learning to harness them in such a short time is what keeps Peter from being too powerful and keeps him human.

well i think peter is really powerfull but being very true and kind he gets duped by many ppl and so his powers dont help him much too.but thats wht makes it good in the story cause if he wouldnt be like that then the story would have ended very soon just like a cowboy movie.
