Peter Petrelli
Played by: Milo Ventimiglia
Who is he? An earnest 26-year-old from New York who jacks in his day job as a hospice nurse after finding his true calling.
Super-power: Possibly one of the best ones – he can absorb other heroes’ powers. Which is just very cool, frankly.
Our verdict? A lovely lad who emerged as a bit of a leader. We loved the way he turned into a hardened scar-faced ass-kicker in the ‘Five Years Gone’ episode, but we do wish he'd stuck up for himself a little more earlier in the series, particularly where overbearing older brother Nathan was concerned.
Quote of the series: “It's my turn to be somebody now, Nathan!”
