Mama Petrelli: What is her Power?

May 2nd, 2007

Michael Ausiello of TV Guide’s Ask Ausiello column has been dropping hints of late about Mama Petrelli (aka Angela Petrelli, played by Cristine Rose) and her powers. Of course we know she has to have one, as powers seem to be hereditary in the Heroes universe, with Peter and Nathan both possessing powers, and possibly even the deceased Papa Petrelli, who we have never met yet. (Or have we?) A few days ago, in response to a question about Mama Petrelli having powers, Ausiello answered: “She certainly does. And it’s very similar to a power possessed by another hero, only in her case, it takes a lot less effort to get from Point A to Point B.

Then today, Mama Petrelli’s name and her power came up again:

Question: If you tell me that the following statement is right, then I’ll hire another bodyguard to protect my Ausiello ice-cream scoop: Peter gets his premonition dreams in Heroes from his mother. Am I right?— Alexa

Ausiello: Damn, you’re good. Er, I mean, no comment.

Hmm… Is that Ausiello being coy, being a smartass, or is he coming out and telling us that Mama Petrelli’s powers seem to be premonitions while dreaming?

Time will tell.

i think Angela has the opposite power of the Hatian, he can take memories, and she can search for memories and then give it back, or put it into their mind,

When peter went to the future withought knowing it, she told him to remember, and then he remembered everything, even from about the time he was born, those memories he shouldn´t have, but she put it into his memory again.

I haven´t seen any episodes of the new season, it starts today, so if i am wrong and everyone already knows her power, then oops :)

Thanks

I red that angela's power has been seen alredi, but used by peter, and as the first power peter displays is having dreams of the future, anglea's power must be that, or her power may be hidden in a scene and no one has noticed it, but used by peter without noticing it

HEROGUY

quite right give the man a prize

HEROGUY

as for the astral projection i think he got it from charles because of all the time he spent with him and charles told simone that he had a dream where he and peter were flying together and charles spoke to peter in that one dream and his mom couldnt see himbut charles knew he was there. it was said sometime before that her power is a travel power but i dont know.. we will have to see i guess.. and when will we see someone with the ability to clone themselves? that would be sweet maybe thats one of the villains that would be cool.

Tyler

I'm going to agree with the astro projection idea. On the other hand, what if she is a "sponge" like Peter?

Sonya

"Peter starts having extraordinarily vivid dreams of flying." There are two powers in that sentence. That was the first episode. Her power has got to be precognitive dreaming.

Ryan

I really wish that people would learn to spell, and use proper grammar.

Aaron

I think her power is astral projection and when she (or peter) sleeps their astral forms are free to roam through time and space and that is also how she is able to be able to be anywhere cause she knows (and also maybe why she saw peter in the future if the virus was released cause peter did feel like it was a dream)

Joe Momma

I think the dreams come from Charles, simply because he's twice been connected with Peter's dreams. I doubt the A to B statement is literal, though.

mart

I think kensei is the first hero, the adam if you will and i think he has all the powers.
I think Angela Petrelli has the power of manipulation, because i think she is the one that manipulates nathan's appearance.

Kris

Im leaning towards teleporation... makes sense, though its getting a little ridiculous with people being related a la' Claire and the Petrellis... im hoping Hiro is not also a Petrelli...
I stil think Kensei/Kane is Nate and Peters Dad...

owen

i really doubt hiro is a petrelli as angela would have had to giv birth to him and it would be impossible to do this under the nose of nathan and peters dad

Miss M

i have a theory that after watching ep2 and hearing that mama petrelli and kaito nakamura had a "one time" thing i believe that hiro is their love child. making mama petrellis power teleportation but it comes easier to her than to hiro (hence otherwise he wouldn't be stuck in the past).

leon

i believe her power is to have premonitions at will because it was said that it takes a lot less effort to get from point a to point b so it must be the abillity to have premonitions at will cuz she herself said that she knew about both nathans and peters powers long before they did

Tsukiko

Mama Petrelli's power may be the ability to see the past, present and future in her dreams. Peter didn't exactly dream of the future when Nathan had his accident. It's similar to Isaac and Sanjog (the boy Mohinder dreamt of) but it's easier to manipulate than Isaac's. It kinda explains Peter's premonitions... @_@

Doggie

I think that peter's mom has the ability to manipulate people. seriously... when that time nathan wanted to go after claire when she jumped out of the building, nathan wanted to go then the mom touched his arm and there was a sudden change in his eyes or something. i mayb rong mostly. :D

romeo

AHA!!!! I know her power! Clarovoyant visions! sixth sence! she can see wots happening in the present and future! remember "six months ago" when Nathan had his accident, peter absorbed his mammas power n saw what happend! its sooo obviouse... why didnt i think of it before.......

west monroe

i only hope that they don't end up canceling the series half way thru, and not explain all this stuff, i hate it when they do that

Faraday in Adelaide

Well the series started with the premis that Mohinder's father wrote a book called "Activating Evolution", now Im thinking considering theres going to be at least a 2 year story arc, and no doubt plenty of offshoot comic books, then the central aspect to the story is the Evolution of the species. In 5 Years gone, Nathan/Sylar says to Mohinder that the numbers are increasing exponentially, and yet Suresh says they are a completely different species with hard-coded DNA, not just activated gene sequences, but completely different gene sequences to normal humans. Coupled with this the mention of the ancient Japanese hero Kensi, I think they are trying to say somewhere down reproductive tree of our species something new was introduced, rather than just the human species is in transformation, its actually being made extinct by the eventual uprising of these mutants. So in essence the migration drive thats going on is to get them to meet up, mate, create more mutants and eventual food chain domination, like what happens in nature.
See what I mean about having way too much time on my hands *chuckles*

west monroe

i don't know but for something that's suppose to be so rare some of the normal people in the story have meet a lot of these heroes (mutants) like peter's dad, according to the novels he was in the war with linderman where he came across the little girl but these to could be because he was sent by the army i relized that, but he also married peter's mom and i just know she's going to have some power (in the novel they where together before linderman came back and a child was playing on the floor assumably nathan so that one couldn't be lindermans son) so how are the normal people suppose to fit into a migration pattern

By the way i don't know about to much time on my hands but i know im at this computer to much
