[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 4592524, member: 907"] It was Daphne who said it, not Matt. And I've been saying that powers are linked to desires since season 1. [LIST] [*]Niki is being beaten by her dad, so she develops super-strength to defend herself. [*]DL was in prison and needed to get out. [*]Nathan was in a car being chased by thugs, and needed to get out. [*]Matt's a cop and wants to know other people's secrets (though in his case we also have the bloodline thing). [*]Hiro, from what I can tell, just wanted to manipulate time and space. [*]Micah was interested in tech stuff. [*]Claire was trapped in a burning building as a baby and needed to survive. [*]Mohinder talked about how his formula could give him wondrous abilities like strength or speed, and those were the abilities he got (together with some side effects). [*]Maya hated her brother's wife and wanted her dead dead dead. [/LIST] I'm still thinking that other supers in the series could probably expand their powers as well, but Syler and Peter (and now Arthur) are the only ones who have developed an ability that lets them do so on a somewhat intuitive level. Peter has the empathy thing going, and Syler has the ability to figure out how things work. [/QUOTE]
