[edit] His sons weren't unnamed
At the end of episode 7, during the credits, the actors were credited as playing Simon and Monty Petrelli. 24.14.120.92 10:17, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Powers and abilities
As fifth episode states, Nathan can't fly as classic superheroes. Like Cannonball, he launchs himself as a rocket. --KesheR 22:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ace Class Shadow doesn't believe this. I think it isn't my POV. Obviously, he can't land easily and is probably incapable of hovering in place. Don't you think? --KesheR 23:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- He didn't do it in Genesis. >.> Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 23:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- But that scene is confusing, we barely saw any of it. Anyway, we'll see who's right soon :P --KesheR 23:29, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- He didn't do it in Genesis. >.> Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 23:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- Peter, leeching Nathan's power can hover and levitate. That leads me to believe that Nathan can as well, though he was in a hurry when we saw him shoot away from HRG+MM. As for landing, who knows? Rihk 00:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
- Most likely, it's that since he's not very comfortable with having the abilities, he hasn't practiced and just isn't very good with them. PureSoldier 01:33, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Name Background Color?
Howdy, is there any reason why, Nate's name in the info box is on a Red background? --DJ Chair 13:28, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
- A user preferred it. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 17:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Congressional District
In one episode, Chandra Suresh's answering machine is playing a message from Petrelli asking for his vote in the race for New York's 14th congressional district. Is the district he's running in notable enough to include in the article? I guess there's no way to know if it is the same district as in the real world, but in the real world, incumbent Democrat Carolyn B. Maloney has represented the district since 1993 and is currently unopposed for reelection. Alienmercy 15:17, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nathan's commercial
- In Nathan's political ad, do one of the scenes show him in front of the wreckage of the World Trade Center?DarthMaul431 04:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] His Previous Occupation
We know he was a lawyer, but was he a prosecutor? He mentions the DA asking to prosecute? Usually, Assistant District Attorneys don't get a choice.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 165.230.65.52 (talk • contribs) on 22:48, November 28, 2006 (UTC); Please sign your posts!
- New comments at the bottom. Click the plus sign at the top next time. Why the excessive capitalization? Use four tildes to sign comments and try to remember to log in. I say that last part assuming in good faith that you aren't simply a GIPU impersonating a registered Wikipedian.
- All that is known is that he was a lawyer working with the DA's office. He could have been an Executive Assistant District Attorney, but his title isn't really stated. Anyway, since it isn't stated, we'll just say "lawyer". Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 03:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Military Career
Should his previous military career really be considered as canon? This is listed in the article, but I don't see much support for it in the episodes. In fact, Nathan once remarks that he doesn't know karate or have a gun. One would assume he'd know some martial arts and have a gun if he were in the service. Jkoudys 03:55, 23 December 2006 (UTC)
- I'm not aware of any US military branch that teaches martial arts. But the military career thing comes from the political advertisement that was, IIRC, shown in the background of a scene in NYC (probably one with Hiro or Isaac), and also shown on nbc.com. Perhaps this mention should state "According to a political ad...", so the source of this claim is more clear. --ΨΦorg 09:09, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Also, just because you were in the military doesn't mean you had a gun while you were in the service, and thus wouldn't guarantee one as a civilian.PureSoldier 01:28, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Illegitimate?
I see that someone added that Claire is Nathan's illegitimate daughter. I want to bring it up for discussion: Should we include that word? I would consider it safe to assume, but do we really know if Claire is illegitimate? I don't think that has been addressed in the show or novels yet. Valaqil 15:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
I agree. Wait until next Monday (or until other official news) to put "illegitimate" in. It looks like Nathan and Meredith are going to talk then, so we should find out for sure. --Arwen undomiel 20:33, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, I think its safe to now. Meredith says Claire was born out of wedlock. --Arwen undomiel 16:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Haitian in "Hiros"
Nathan was confronted by Mr. Bennet and the Haitian in "Hiros" and managed to fly away despite the Haitian's ability of power negation. Shouldn't this be noted somewhere? Is it Nathan's power to counter-negate the Haitian or something else?
It was never outright stated that the Haitian could negate all powers or it could also be Nathan's power is stronger like when Matt was still able to read one word from Mr. Bennets mind even with the Haitian there.
- Please sign your comments. As far as we know, the Haitian let him get away, because of the connection to Claire, or as previously said, the Haitian might not be able to negate all powers, or he might have just slipped up. PureSoldier 01:30, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
