I'm fine with Hiro being a hero without his powers, maybe we'll finally get badass ponytail Hiro. Would be happy if he got his powers back at a reduced capacity, although personally, I'd give him all his powers back and have something stopping him from travelling through time and it's stopping Parkman and Mama Petrelli…
Yeah, I said before, I think he has a power. I really wish his power was to disappear from the show though. I really don't care for the character and almost feels like they don't know what to do with him. I think he was suppose to be a HRG guy replacement, but people still like HRG more.
Modern day peter can't use his abilities cause it would appear his soul / consciousness is in that other guys body and as Mohinder pointed out the powers come from adrenals so he's in someone else's body so he has someone else's adrenals to work with ... so ... he's going to have to relearn even what power he has.
Yeah I think that is the inspiration. I was telling that to anybody who would listen the minute Mohinder got powers. I was like "Just watch, that bitch is gonna start to mutate and turn into a Bug. This is an homage to Chronenbergs The Fly..." Aaaannnnd turns out I'm right. The writers and producers keep talking about…
