Characters and Actors

Peter Petrelli played by Milo Ventimiglia

Name:
Peter Petrelli
Location:
New York
Job:
Former hospice nurse
Family:
Brother: Nathan, Mother: Angela
Superpower:
He is an empath with the ability to absorb the powers of others.

Peter has grown up in the shadow of his brother, Nathan. So it's only too apt that while Nathan eagerly wades into the murky political waters of Congress, Peter, as a hospice nurse, decided to devote his life to caring for others. When we first meet him, he is looking after the dying father of Simone Deveaux. However, Peter is restless and believes he was destined for something bigger - namely, saving the world. He also believes he can fly.
