Misstressahara: You state that Peter has come in contact with Eden, and acquired her powers of persuasion. When did this happen? I can't remember it.

My first double-post. Ever.

Claire/Peter's regenitive power seems to have something to do with the intactness of their brains. Both have been dead, and both came back to life after an object was removed from their brains.
Therefore, in future Hiro's timeline, Claire was not saved by Peter. It is my belief that Sylar's power grabbing abilities stems from the observance of the subject's brain (rather then the ingestion of said brain as was earlier suspected). So, Sylar got Claire's regentitive abilities by looking at her brain and figuring it out. Then he likely tossed it aside. Someone, most likely a desparate Bennett who knew her power, decided to try throwing the brain back in the pan and popping her skull back on her head. Poof, she starts breathing again. He then decides to hide her.
Peter does not get Claire's powers in Texas by saving her, but this does not mean that he doesn't meet her at some point. She is still his neice and his mom still knows this. So he gets her power later. So he gets the scar before he gets her power.
This doesn't explain why President Sylar kills Claire again, unless he just wants to do it and its his favorite way to do it.
And if brain intactness is important to stay alive it doesn't explain how Peter survices his body going nuclear, unless he pushed the explosion out of his body and then flies off before he gets hit by the brunt of the blast.
Mike Myers should do a Heroes cameo, just looking confused for 5 seconds.

I still like Firefly better!

Going nuclear doesn't seem to damage the exploding man's body. Note that Ted has had several meltdowns and seemed largely intact.

Ted has given off radiation, even large amounts of radiation, several times, but he has not yet exploded with the force of an atomic bomb. Without regenitive powers, this would likely kill him.

Unless I'm mistaken, Peter hasn't even met Ted yet. That's what needs to be avoided. Peter should look to avoid a man who could explode. Peter never meets Ted, then no bomb. Problem solved.

Except that Sylar says to Claire that "I don't need any more power, especially not after you" which would seem to imply that he doesn't have Claire's power yet.

Maybe future Hiro had it wrong, maybe after saving Claire he doesn't regenerate but Linderman heals him thinking that Sylar will fulfill his plans better than Nathan.

Off-topic from the timeline continuity, I liked the fact that to use Hiro's powers Peter would squinch his eyes shut the same way that Hiro does. Goes back to the comment he made to Claude that he has to think of the people to use their powers.

Exactly, except that Peter's currently in New York, which is where Ted, Matt, and Bennet are heading.

Unless Claire thinks to warn Peter about Ted, no one else even knows about Ted (well, Matt and Bennet, who are with him, Hana, who has her own mission, and FBI-girl, who has no reason to tell Peter anything).

Good point Naflm!
Linderman could be a possible source of Sylar surviving Hiro's blade, especially since he is the most likely reason that Bennett and Eve let Sylar live when they had him.
However, if Peter didn't save Claire in Texas, what could have prevented Sylar from taking her power?
I don't think Sylar's final words to Claire necessarily mean that he did not have her power yet. That scene was the one that made the least sense to me, unless as I said, he just wanted to kill her having failed to do so the first time.
