Biography
Peter Petrelli was born in 1979 and was the younger brother of Nathan Petrelli and is the son of Angela and Arthur Petrelli, two super-powered individuals who had very different plans for the future. After Arthur disappeared (it was believed by the public he was dead) Angela raised the boys on her own and followed different careers; while Nathan became a respected politician, Peter became a nurse. As he grew up, he begian to dream he can fly and becomes convinced that he can. Eventually, he was so convinced, he threw himself off a building, only to be saved by his brother Nathan, who does have that power.
However, Peter slowly learns that he does have a power; the power to absorb and copy the power of anyone he meets who also has powers. Peter, looking for answers, begins searching for the author Mohinder Suresh, the author of the book Activating Evolution that deals with the very theories that Peter is experiencing.
