Nathan Petrelli

A few weeks ago, we sat down with Peter Petrelli.

No, not Milo Ventimiglia. We're talking about the character of Peter himself.

Now, it's time to ask his brother a few questions. As you can see from the Q&A below, Nathan Petrelli did indeed survive the season one finale. But that explosion must have stung a bit...

200612250467_667782.jpg The Fanatic: What happened when Peter exploded? Did it hurt at all?

Nathan: I don't remember much of it. But apparently my face does. I assume a few Heroes spoilers have gotten around and you've heard that I've grown a beard to cover up the scars.

The Fanatic: Yes, we did come across that information. Moving on, though: do you blame yourself for your wife's condition?

Nathan: I blame my father. I was just doing my job to prosecute him and Linderman. But it was his actions that got our entire family involved with that shady S.O.B. in the first place.

The Fanatic: Will you run for President?

Nathan: Getting a bit ahead of ourselves here, aren't we? I have lofty goals. I want to reach out and help people and there's no better way to do that than as President of the United States. But let's focus on one office at a time.

The Fanatic: Why were you initially so reluctant to listen to Peter and to take advantage of your super power?

Nathan: Like I said, I wanna do good in the world. And flying may seem like fun, but is it really the best way to help? People need health care, they need jobs. They don't need me fulfilling some childhood fantasy.

The Fanatic: Admit it, though. It's pretty cool to be the "Flying Man," as Hiro has dubbed you?

Nathan: [smirks] It has its moments.
