Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steel_Wind" data-source="post: 3796615" data-attributes="member: 20741">Peter's mind has obviously been wiped by the Haitian in an attempt to stablize Peter and remove access to his radioactive power.  Or potentially even for some other reason.  That's why the Haitian's necklace with the "hero" symbol is around his neck when we see him in the container.It has been four months since the explosion. In the 4 weeks previous to that, we saw Peter absorb  - what - 8 or 9 powers? Not counting all of the OTHER powers he should have absorbed that Sylar knew.  I think it's fairly safe to assume that in the intervening period, Peter ran into at least one other Hero who can shoot lightning or something else.Peter's empathy seems to require him to think  - at least for some powers - in order to activate them, For passive powers, like healing and perhaps even his super strength - they just "work".  I admit, it's hard to judge the radioactivity of Ted as a passive power - but - there it is.But it's also pretty clear he won't do anything in an offensive manner very aptly if he has no idea to even try to use it other than by reflex.  Hence, the mindwipe.It is also possible that Peter's mind has been wiped to prevent **someone else** from gaining access to something Peter knows or from discovering where he is. Can Molly find someone who does not even know who he is? Maybe  - and then again - maybe not.  Same applies to "the Boogeyman". We know that Peter was Mohinder's friend. Mohinder would not have passed up the chance to use Molly to find Peter. So Mohinder, Bennett and Parkman already know where he is - or they do not know any longer because of the mindwipe.Seeing as the initial Season 1 took place over about four weeks, four months is a long time and who knows what Peter, the Haitian and Hiro and whoever else managed to cook up in that time.</blockquote>
