[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4592881, member: 41321"] It makes sense for his powers to be reset. In the "science" of the Heroes universe the formula was supposed to give you your innate power. Peter's innate power was being able to mimic the powers from others. There was nothing innate about his ability to fly, or heal, or shoot lightning, or telekinesis, or any of the powers he picked up along the way. So logically it should only give him his mimic ability back and he'd need to pick up a new repertoire of other powers. Like other people have said, it seems like the writers are always looking for ways to nerf the time traveling angle. From that point of view it also makes sense for Peter's powers to be reset because it means that no major character has time travel powers anymore. Edit: One thing I wondered, though... and I feel like I had this same thought earlier in the series... why didn't Nathan fly himself? Those flames obviously didn't reach the ceiling. He really has no instinct for when to use his abilities. [/QUOTE]
