We all know that Peter Petrelli
has the ability to mimic the powers of those he has been around. What
you did not know is what his other base power is. My friend Jake and I
figured it out over lunch Monday - it is the power of gullibility.
Seriously. Much like River Tam, Peter has certain words that key
certain responses. For River, the Russian phrase: “Это курам на смех”
(Eta Kooram Nah Smech - That’s Laughing for Chickens) would cause her
to fall asleep if she ever had a relapse. Peter has a different safe
word and a difference embedded response. Peter’s safe word is “save the
world.” Yup, all one has to do is mutter that phrase, preferably in a sweet as honey English accent, and Peter will automatically do whatever proceeds the safe word. An example:

Anyone: Peter, lets go murder your family out of spite.

Peter: My moral compass always points true north, just like broken nose Mohinder - can’t do it.

Anyone: Ok, point taken… say, hey Peter… uh… lets go “save the world.”

Peter: I’m in - what do we need to do?

Anyone: …. Murder your family.

Peter: We had better get a move on.

Hopefully, Peter will find a way to disable this power, just like he was able to disable his ability to have terrible hair. Most likely he will have to come into contact with Noah to absorb his power of GNB.
