Corrected entry: Peter "catches" Emma's ability and loses his speed ability when he touches her, to keep her from being hit by the bus. Yet in one of the previous episodes, he shook hands with Samuel without losing his ability and gaining Samuel's.
Corrected entry: Peter absorbs René "The Haitian"'s abilities (erase memory and neutralize abilities). Later on he fights Sylar and uses René's ability to force Sylar out. Sylar faints and turns into Nathan. If Peter absorbed René's abilities to neutralize abilities, shouldn't Sylar be unable to shape-shift into Nathan's looks?
Correction: As shown in season 1 when Nathan is able to fly away from the Haitian and Bennet, abilities can be used when near the Haitian if he is not intentionally turning off other peoples abilities, so to speak. In this instance, Sylar has passed out. Peter sees no need to nullify his powers at that point, so the shape shifting is able to transpire.
Corrected entry: Peter absorbs René "The Haitian"'s abilities (erase memory and neutralize abilities). But, shouldn't Peter's ability (to absorb abilities) be neutralized around René, therefore making him unable to absorb his abilities?
Correction: The Haitian's powers are not always active. It's a manual power, meaning that the user has to consciously use it.
Shadowboxing - S4-E9
Corrected entry: Sylar takes over Parkman's body, and has discussions with Parkman, who is a figment and isn't really there. However there are many times when a shadow is cast on Parkman. Most noticeable when they are in the diner in Texas and Sylar threatens to kill Lynette, and Parkman interjects (when Sylar instead takes a straw). You can see Sylar's shadow on Parkman, which isn't possible if he's not really there.
Correction: This is inside Sylar's imagination and in his imagination Parkman is there, thus he imagines a shadow falling over him.
Correction: Peter did not know that Emma had an ability, therefore did not harness his own ability. When he shook hands with Samuel, he was aware there were specials around so made a conscious error to "turn off" his ability. Notice at the end of the series, when he was also consciously aware, he did end up taking Samuel's ability.
