HEROES Vol 5 #6:Tabula Rasa/Season 4/09

My biggest issue was... Peter KNOWS Hiro is dying. So he gets the healing power and catches a plane home.

Gee, maybe it would have made more sense to TELEPORT THE HEALER, get Hiro healed, then immediately take the kid home. If he really wants the healing power, he can take it THEN, travelling home when time isn't an issue.

I don't care if the kid is traumatized, he could have easily guilted him into it -- "Hey, you just shot me. It was an accident. I won't hold a grudge if you keep my friend from dying."

I thought the same thing, but given how unstable the kid is, it's probably a better idea for Peter to take the power and use it himself.

Even if Peter had teleported back, it still would have been too late to catch Hiro. Hiro's uncontrollable timejumps have put him on the Plot Express.

Plus, if Peter can only hold one power at a time going forward, they can find a reason for him to ditch the healing in favor of some more immediate necessary power at some point.

Like, say, when he touches Hiro to heal him. Makes me wonder if he should even be able to use touch powers on other supers.

Then he could teleport back to Irish, pick up some mundane power, and we'd be rid of Pete for the rest of the series, since we never look into her alt-reality.

He can touch people without gaining their power. He has done so before.

Right. Sometimes, when he touches someone who he doesn't know has powers, he can accidentally pick up their power (as he did with the Dazzler powers).

He took a Complication, so the GM gives him a hero point.
