Protagonist

The common thought is that Peter can mimic powers when he is close to someone else who has powers. This has been proven when he flies/hovers when near Nathan, paints the future when near Isaac, walks in stopped time when near Hiro, and heals himself when near Claire.

There is one time when he uses his power and his is not proximal to any Hero. When in the hospital bed, he draws himself hovering on the rooftop before it happens. The problem with this mimicry is that it happens the next day after he sees Isaac, his eyes are not glossed over as the other time when he paints next to Isaac, and he is of course not next to Isaac when he does it. He himself points to this as an example of a time when he drew the future.

But there is another key about this time. He drew the little RNA symbol on the top right of the picture before he drew the rest of the picture. This scene occurs just before Hiro walks in on a dead Isaac in a loft full of RNA symbols. Does that symbol have power in itself? Is that why it is on the sword? Is that why it is on the comic book?

When Isaac is drawing the comic book 9th Wonder, he is not seeing the future, but rather the past. When Peter is drawing in the hospital room, he is not painting but rather drawing rather crudely in stick figures. Can the symbol get you partway? I know this works against the science part of the show and goes more into fiction/fantasy. Either way, Peter's drawing in the hospital room does not fit, as Peter's flying with Simone's dad in his dream and in a way that Simone's dad could go with him doesn't fit. Also, Isaac had a painting of Peter flying with wings in his loft, but Peter did not fly, Nathan did. Peter fell and Nathan flew and caught him. Peter did hover, but flew in his dreams.

I do think Peter will fly in the future. His powers are somewhat untapped, and something did happen with Simone's father. I just don't think it will actually happen in Peter's future if that makes sense.

Well we know his mimicry lingers for an known amount of time. We see him re-arrange his foot and ankle right when the cops show up, with Clair nowhere near at that point.

The length of time that the copied power lingers is a good question. The stick figure drawing implies that it lingers for several hours. Peter hovering when getting out of bed also implies this.

But stick figures and hovering are not even close to what Isaac and Nathan can do, respectively. My guess is that the power lingers, but fades over time. It's not an on/off switch.

Another question is how long it takes Peter to start copying. Is it instant?

I'm not sure Mohinder will have power's. Especially that his power is what brought him to the soccer kid.

I think the Soccer Kid's power is simply to guide, like the idea posted above. More of an Oracle kind of thing. And just like the Oracle in the Matrix, they do not seek out people, they simply guide the ones who seek them out.

I'm uncertain of the relevance, but it looks like the Symbol pops up on the HS Clock during one of the Homecoming scenes. It's just after HRG finds Jackie and just before Claire/Peter run out into the concrete Ampitheater. This scene with Claire AND Peter in the Ampitheater is a revision of Isaac's painting of what seemed to only be of Claire chased by Sylar.
Possible connection??

Some cultures refer to this ability as a "Dreamwalker" / Guide. For us Americans though let's refer to it as the power revelation. That is to reveal unknown answers and truths that any given individual may be seeking. I'm not sure about Simone's dad having power, but his daughter, hmmm....that leaves alot of room for much speculation. I
believe that Simone's father may have had a small amount of power, but suppose that Simone is one of those "Power Booster" typess that people were theorizing about Molly Walker. Suppose she is more of a common link between Isaac, Peter, and Mohinder. I'm not too sure, but I believe she knows all three of them. Also, has anyone picked up on the key limitation to Peter's power? It's okay, I'll wait...Time's up. He doesn't always know WHEN he has someone else's power. That is HUGE!!! Imagine having the power to TIME TRAVEL and not know it like when he met F_Hiro. Or not immediately knowing he had Claire's power.
Better yet!! Not Realizing he has / had Sylar's power too. He may potentially be the most powerful, but he's not the brightest at times. Nothing against Peter. I wouldn't mind having his power. I just would like to know I did.

I should point out that Isaac was drawing the future in the comic book. It current time, the comic would have to be at the publishers in order to be in print and on shelves by six weeks in the future. They have to set, print, etc. the comic.

Isaac probably drew the comic before the first episode "Genesis" began.

i just seen a screen shot of the boy.. in Homecoming and you can just barley see these words behind his picture

Sleep Rese

now i've gone back to 7 mintues to midnight and found another screen shot of the full word.. Research it also had a name of Dr. Richard Gaskin in that article.. so now we know he will be tied in with Mohindar and not with HRG.
