Open Discussion: Who’s Nathan’s Shooter?
15 May
Yesterday, we have posted the new Season 3 behind the scenes promo. It looks like that the video could be more spoilerific than we thought.
At the 20 second mark it looks like that the individual in the baseball hat is none other than Nathan’s brother Peter!? Is ” Future Peter Nathan’s shooter ? ( spoilers bellow )
Here are some pictures ( thanks to our friend The ODI )
Why would he shoot Nathan?
It looks so awfully like Peter that I’m starting to believe it might be, but I can’t begin to figure out why he would have used such drastic measures, He’s practically invincible.
Clues
- A camera records Nathan’s conversation with Matt and Pete in the vault. The camera is Company property.
- We see, in those previews, Peter in a baseball cap.
- We see a man, at the end of season 2 leaving the scene after Nathan is shot.
- In the comics, we know that the Company had (and maybe still has) in its employ, Donna, who can make impossible shots from a very large distance. Imagine what she could do with a sniper rifle.
- The casting call for episode 1 of season 3 looks for an ” doctor tending to a seriously injured patient “. So it still looks as if, whoever shot Nathan, was aiming to kill
Theory
Nathan was shot by Donna, who is still in the employ of the Company. She’s really far away. Peter, goes back in time to place himself in the audience room to see who shot Nathan. To avoid freaking out people, because there would be two Peters in the same room, he wears a baseball cap to minimally disguise himself. Nathan is shot and Future Peter with a baseball cap realizes that the shot came from outside, so he walks out to confront the shooter who is probably Donna.
Mysterious shooter doesn’t run to make sure he discovers the shooter. But then again, Peter has so many powers that he doesn’t have to hurry up to do anything. He can walk calmly into a situation because, let’s face it, he’s practically invincible. [ by AgentHavoc ]
Here’s another picture I received from a reader of mine one month ago. Don’t forget, shooter isn’t HRG, or anyone without powers.
Thoughts?
Matej, how do I contact you for future reference? Also, when is it appropriate to contact you? Thank you for the feedback as well.
Hi DC, you can contact me trough this contact form

Thanks Matej, I appreciate the info.
I have just a few more points to make regarding my theory about needing two powered people together in order to make a powered child.
1) When you think of the word ‘godsend’ what do you think of? I personally think of children. When you examine the helix symbol that is ever-present in the show, and has actually been in every episode, look closely at the pieces extending out from the “S” shape. There are TWO on one side, one slightly larger than the other (kinda like a man and a woman) and just ONE one the other side. I look at this as possibly meaning it takes two together on one side, to produce just one on the other. The meaning of the helix was intended to be revealed in the “Origins” spinoff, however due to the strike that never happened. Once again, food for thought, and worth taking a closer look at the symbol when you get the chance.
2) Why does the company strictly enforce the “One of us, one of them” policy?? At first I thought it might be because the normal humans just didn’t trust the powered agents, however after thinking about it more logically, there has been a powered person running the company since the beginning. First Linderman, and now Bob. Why would they NOT trust other powered beings? Why even bring normal humans into the fold at all? Is it possible that they pair the powered beings with a normal person so that if they happen to become romantically involved (just like Julien Dumont and Sabine Hazel in the most recent graphic novel) that they will not or rather CAN not create an unauthorized or uncontrolled child with powers? For those that will say, well the Haitian and HRG can’t have children together so why pair them up, I would answer that if you only enforced the “one of us, one of them” policy on male/female partners, then it would be more obvious what the need for the policy is in the first place and I believe this is one of the more closely guarded secrets that the older heroes are aware of, but nobody else.
Once again, trying to work off of facts and symbols we DO know rather than speculate on spoilers. Feel free to punch holes through my ideas, that’s what they’re there for.
i like that theory DC even though i never thought of that when i looked at the helix. I thought it meant something representing superpowered beings and the rest of the human race living together.
maybe it was angela petrelli’s “third child”
its looks a hell of alot like sylar on the first season.
wow DC … my head is going in circles at the moment. So many things to think about… I never thought that soaps and dramas were rly this deep.
who is HRG again? i forget and i think the shooter could be jessica because jessica has good aim even from far away. remember when she shot DL from across the road, in the bushes. so i think future peter was there to see who the shooter was but i am almost certain that it was jessica.
JoJo, HRG=Noah Bennet HRG stands for Horn Rimmed Glasses.

Jane Doe, why did you suddenly stop making comments? they made sence. Destiny abd Fate are, and will always play and inevitable role in anything that ever happens.
there are certain events in history/future that will take place no matter what. (for example, the death of Jesus Christ – he would have died later, had they decided not to crucify him)
DC, you too seem to have interesting theories. and theories that make sence, that have substancial backing. tres bien!
if people are still wondering about time travel, look up the space/time-continuum. there are some mathematical equations (not for Jane’s nerd party) for hypothetical space travel. all the equations were made by professional (underfunded) scientists.
the helis is half of a RNA / DNA helix. tying in with the Godsend = child concept. DNA = life.

coming back to the shooter. the person who shot Nathan was obviously someone who doesnt want the world to know about these para-human abilities. sylar comes to mind. it would be easier for sylar to kill all the ‘heroes’ if the normal people didn’t know about them.
if the world new about the ‘heroes’, they wouldn’t need to stay in hiding – i mean really, sylar cant kill in public.
It’s Future Peter.
peter can turn invisible why hide with a baseball cap not to mention he can probably stop time too, so if he is not the shooter but rather there to investigate who shot his brother, why didn’t he stop time in order to capture the killer.
if future peter is the shooter whats the point of going invisible or stopping time when present peter is there it wouldnt work againts him he would still see him and go after him surely even stopping time he could wouldnt be albe to get away, Question: if present peter goes near future peter does he collect any of the powers he has got in the past 4 years.?????
also about the scar, some say kensei sword i dont know maybe peter can only be hurt by peter?
I think the present day peter would collect the future peters powers if they came into contact, which i heard they will do in season three. It was peter who shot nathan i think as it is more or less confirmed in the sneak peek of season three on the bonus features of the season 2 dvd boxset.
I think the scar being the result of the Kensie sword is a really good theory.
i think nathan shooter is nathan. i think that would just blow everyones mind. lol
I believe Mistah Isaac rose from the dead and threw da painbrusheeees at mistah petrelli =P
DC, you’re forgeting about one thing : the little girl Molly who has the power of finding anyone. We know that when Sylar got into her house killed her father and “toke” his brain, but don’t forget he hasn’t done nothing to her mother. He just killed her.. so I assume she had no power. And still, Molly got a power.
So :
Power + No power = Molly, right?
