kingandyJust watched the last episode of Heroes series 3. (Yes, I'm behind.)
So when Nathan died, Mrs Petrelli had two choices:
1) Pop a few drops of Claire's blood in there and raise him from the dead
2) Brainwash a dangerous and powerful psychopath into thinking they're Nathan in the hope it sticks, and have to walk around pretending he's her son for the rest of both their lives
Well GEE I WONDER WHICH WOULD BE THE BETTER PLAN.

Too many of them are conveniently powerful from a plot perspective, which is why Peter, Hiro and Sylar keep being de-powered. In the same way lightening guy in Mutant X was often too powerful to appear in this episode.
