Kismet, I’d never thought to wonder that. Of course, if her MPD isn’t actually part of her superpowers, Peter would be safe.

Okay so I have to wade in and throw my 2 cents worth in on this, as we here in the Woodstock house in the woods are adicted as well.

If Peter has the power to assume others powers…when he and Niki/Jessica hooked up, did his personality split as well. Just something Ploki and I talked about.

Okay Doc, you have me hooked on your blog now…sweet!

okay, the scar=easy. peter didn’t acquire claire’s power until future-hiro told him to “save the cheerleader.” in future-hiro’s time, claire is in hiding in texas and it is most likely that future-peter never met future-claire. and in response to the theory that he has to consciously activate his power…he wasn’t exactly conscious when claire pulled a shard of glass out his skull, was he?

Drhaggis? Claire ain’t indestructable. Brain trauma can keep her from regenerating, and, logically, if her brain were removed or destroyed, she’d be permanently killed. And Peter has to know about the abilities to consciously use them. He hadn’t known about Sylar killing Claire yet.

Peter didn’t have Claire’s ReGen ability in that future. Sylar killed the cheerleader, and Peter wasn’t there to save her, nor absorb her power.

Since Peter can absorb stolen abilities from Sylar, (Peter had shown his telekinesis) he would have Clarie’s regen after he recieved the scar.

Also of note, when they square off at the end of “Five years gone” they are both indestructible.

I buy your theory, and as nothings pointed out in your comments, the Heroes comic lends support to it.

I’m not sure Hiro would actually kill Peter, but I could see him having to stick his sword in him to keep him from exploding.

Paul: good points about the scar, though I’ve figured out the real reason. He has the scar because it makes him look more dangerous and cool.

Asai: you’re not the only one obsessed with it. And Monday’s episode only made me more excited about the show.

Jason: oh, interesting points. I hadn’t thought of connecting the scar to a sword strike.

I’m pretty sure that in the future Peter had met Claire since she was still alive. The way I read it was that this was the exact future we’d see if things played out from the last point we saw, with Hiro being out of the timestream. Now that he’s re-inserted himself things can/will take a different path, but we don’t know how different.

Perhaps the scar came about during the explosion or immediately thereafter. Emitting a nuclear explosion can’t be good for your body, so perhaps it’s enough to temporarily overwhelm the healing process, therefor making for an imperfect restoration.

It does look suspiciously like a wound from a sword though, and thus would seem to have been caused by Hiro. Maybe he sees someone exploding and strikes, not knowing who it is, and the scar results because of my above theory.
