Arthur Petrelli

Arthur Petrelli's powers and abilities

Powers and Abilities

Arthur had the ability to steal a person's ability by simply touching them. This made him one of the series most powerful characters after Sylar or Peter. Unlike Peter who had to learn how to control the abilities he acquired Arthur demonstrated great control of the abilities he took from people.

The following is a list of powers he stole:

Accelerated healing (Adam Monroe)

Telepathy (unknown, presumably Charles Deveaux)

Electrokinesis (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Elle Bishop)

Poison Emission (Maya Herrara)

Telekinesis (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Sylar)

Precognition in visual art (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Isaac Mendez)

Time Travel (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Hiro Nakamura)

Pyrokinesis (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Meredith Gordon)

Flight (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Nathan Petrelli)

Super Strength (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Niki Sanders)

Chasing (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from D.L. Hawkins)

Radioactivity (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Ted Sprague)

Super Speed (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Daphne Millbrook)

Intuitive aptitude (Peter Petrelli, absorbed from Sylar)

Some of these abilities were not demonstrated on the show but he had the potential to use all of them after stealing Peter's powers.

Arthur Petrelli's weaknesses

As he was killed by a shot to the head and as he had regeneration, it may require an instant kill shot to kill him. He also had telekinesis, so it might require that he is distracted or the act is done in secret.
