He's an empath so absorbs the abilities of other super humans. His brother Nathan can fly and his mother Angela is from a previous generation of heroes. When Isaac predicts an explosion in New York, Peter is told that the key to averting the catastrophe is to save the cheerleader - Claire. They believe Sylar will cause the explosion and that there will be no way to stop him if he kills Claire and steals her power of regeneration. Peter and the other heroes manage to stop Sylar in the final showdown at the end of Season 1, but it is Peter who causes the explosion not Sylar. He'd already absorbed Ted's power and loses control of it. Just as Claire thinks she will have to shoot him to stop him, Nathan flies down, grabs Peter and flies into space with him. A huge explosion follows. It seems unlikely to those watching below that either brother could have survived.
