How about this one: He suffers a wound that "kills" him. Someone or something then cuts his face when he does not have the regenerative power. His fatal wound is reversed and he regenerates the injuries he suffered while he had the power, but not those caused when he was without the regeneration ability.
Just a thought. I know he should be able to regenerate everything, but who knows.
You know...I think we might know how he did get the scar (how it got around his re-gen ability is still a mystery - however if the Haitian was there hiding in the sewer to retrieve Sylar just in case...).
So, whe see Peter start to go Nova on us, and in Loop 2, it would make sense to me if Sylar ran away for some reason prior to shoving Hiro like he did. Or he does get stabbed and everything goes the same way, with Peter expoding and Sylar living in the Sewer (everyong thinking he died) saved by the Haitian.
Now, Peter is asking Hiro to kill him and Hiro tries. Either slashing across his face or stabbing him through the skull. Now, it makes sense that this did not kill him but caused him to explode. Hiro, wanting to get away quickly jumps the same as he did an still lands in 1671 Japan.
Yes, I know this is a moot point, but thought I would bring it up anyway. Mostly because it would explain why Peter did not regen the scar, and how Sylar got away from both battles (loop 2 and 3).
. . . Okay . . . Nathan flew Peter up into the sky, redeeming himself for any evil he may have contemplated/done by saving the city he loved so well. So . . . When Pete explosivo'd, Nathan would've been vaporized unless he took Peter up as high as he could, then hauled balls away from him . . . Let's assume he didn't get that chance, and was vaporized when Peter put on his light show in the sky -- I'm assuming that the simple shock of what's just happened to Peter (assuming he survive(s/d)) would shut his system down just like the coma he fell into post-"Homecoming". If he couldn't "turn on" any of his powers, he couldn't heal. I would say that going Nuclear would take a whole hell of a lot more out of our hero than did his encounter with Sylar, and the chance of his powers not working increases accordingly. That's how he gets the scar - - Maybe he wakes up in his fall back to earth as his body begins to heal it's self and, realizing his brother has sacrificed himself to save him, combined with the shock to his system in the aftermath of his having exploded, his Empathic Mimcry just shuts down -- no healing, no flight, no nothing. So he gets this scar when he does a faceplant on that sacred balcony on the Deveaux Building.
I know this is a fictional TV show, but it still doesn't make sense to me that he was able to 'revive' after Claire removed the offending piece of glass from his brain. I think, were he aware, he would be able to heal the gravest of wounds. How, though, did he "picture" Claire to tap her power and bring himself back to life when he was dead? Isn't this how Peter himself has described how he uses the powers he mimics? If anyone can clear this up for me, please do . . . .

I like your theory a lot, Stone. After all, it was proven in episode 23 that Peter couldn't control his other powers, which is why he couldn't fly himself to blow up in the sky. It would make sense if he couldn't control his healing as well during, and even soon after, the explosion. Perhaps we will see Peter wake up half in the water and half on shore with a bar dug into his face. After all, in New York, the shores of the Hudson and The East rivers aren't exactly beaches. There's a good chance he could wake up next to a factory or some buildlings if Nathan did indeed fling him into, or near, the water.
This is true. I suppose, given the topographics of NYC, that he probably Peter is probably more likely to fall into water than onto land. From the heights we're talking about, though, it doesn't really matter where he lands as far as the shock on his body is concerned; hitting the water from high up enough to have kept the explosion from directly affecting the city would mean that hitting water would be practically the same as if he hit concrete. He's going to have to heal to some extent, lest he's left as a meat bag full of bones, but once what has happened begins to sink in, his mental state is going to be haywire. Hence, whatever wiring makes his powers work is likely to malfunction. Thanks to Nathan's bravery, the innocent citizens of New York have been saved, but imagine the freak-out he's going to have when he realizes his brother is dead. Of course, there's always the ever-so-remote chance that Nathan was lucky enough to have gotten far enough away from Peter before the actual explosion that he wouldn't have been vaporized, or maybe even far enough away to have avoided any of the adverse affects of the radiation or shock wave . . . But that's a topic for another thread . . .

And that's why, I am going to gently disagree with everyone and say:
Nathan will bring Peter back down to earth.
I think Peter MAYBE gets a scar next season, BUT if he does, it won't be as a result of the explosion, and it will be late next season.

He said he remembered Claire right before he hit the taxi, just as he realized he was going to die.

I don't mind this happening, but how will Nathan survive the explosion? I've thought that Peter might be able to protect him using other powers, but if Peter can't control his other powers enough to fly away on his own, he probably can't protect Nathan, either.
There is a lot of drama to be had if Nathan is dead. Peter will have to deal with the loss, and he would have some problems with his powers during that time. I think he's the character whom the rumor says will have a memory loss. (Whoever has the memory loss, he/she will get to discover powers all over again!)
I don't know about the scar. While we were discussing, "Five Years Gone," someone suggested that the Haitian might be the reason Peter's regenerative power didn't work. That makes the most sense to me, although I don't have a scenario. I don't think the scar is necessarily a result of the explosion, and now that the future has been changed, maybe he'll never get one.
Tangent: How long do we think it will be before Peter gets a haircut?

Who suggested it?!? That's genius! Why didn't I think of that?!
However, that would imply that the Haitian would have to be around Peter for the entire duration of that scar healing (which would probably take a month or two, at least). The moment the Haitian leaves, Peter's healing would start to kick in.

As a complete guess, he would have to be around the Haitian for at least a few days, depending on the injury.
I'll go through an old thread or two and see if I can find it. Back in a while with an edit (or if it's a long while, a new post).
I made it! It was in this thread, several pages back.
This is the one I was thinking of:

My take on Peter's Scar is that he was injured during a Homeland Security raid, and the Hiatian's powers prevented Peter from using any of his powers, including regeneration.
He was kept for several weeks which allowed the scar to form before nathan was able to get him out.

Here's another one which is close.

My thought is that during some battle over the last 5 years Peter got too close to the Haitian and was sliced with a knife and did not regen. The question is whether or not he would heal the would after he left the area covered by the Haitian...which I still think he would. I think that scar is something that we will never get and explanation on.
Payquage, Nathan seems to be able to break the sound barrier, i think that is kind fast, all he woulda had to do was to fly high enough and fast enough,Let go before he explodes, Pete would still travel for a while in the same direction until friction slowed him down, Nathan could have reversed or changed directions when he let go, Pete exlodes and then Nathan returns as Pete begins to descend again, Viola! Nathan can live! So this does not get moved to a How does Nathan survive thread i better talk about Petes Scar (Beat the dead horse a little) As he falls back to earth he is a little slippery because he got turned inside out, Nathan cant hold on to him until he becomes more solid or drys a little more, so he falls and the likely hood of him landing in water is high so lets pretend he does, a fresh water octopus grabs him because he still looks like bait slightly, and squeezes his face as he heals.............

I think there's also going to be quite the conundrum of knowing that you yourself are the cause of your own brother's death. After all, how would you feel knowing that you've killed your only sibling? I'd feel like death warmed over, to be honest.

I agree. It would kill me to know that I was the very reason that my brother died. I mean, Peter has the power to stop the explostion (flying, stopping the power, teleporting, time traveling...) but for whatever reason he is unable to control any of his powers (one would have to assume) and the end result is his brothers necessary sacrifice. I mean, this would weigh on his mind even worse. Having the power to do something, but not (or not being able).
(I mean, that is why Spiderman became the superhero we know today...he had the power to stop the man who killed his Uncle prior to the murder, but didn't and was eaten up by the guilt)
I don't know that having more than one sibling would make the loss of one any less devastating.
If Nathan dies, Peter will have guilt and grief and everything else we mentioned. He will also have to grow up a little.
If Hiro's powers went haywire when he couldn't save Charlie, it's possible that Peter will also have some serious problems with his after causing Nathan's death.

I was thinking the very same thing (the how Nathan lives part...not so much the octopus )
As far as the scar goes. I don't think he'll get one. Not the one we saw at least and probably not any. I think that scar was specific to a timeline where he didn't have Claire's ability. That is unless he remains unable to use his abilities for a while...
