Nathan Petrelli (Adrian Pasdar)On the surface, Nathan Petrelli is a polished New York politician who works in the D.A.'s office and is now running for Congress with a good shot at winning. He is the son of Angela and Arthur Petrelli, the brother to Peter Petrelli, husband to Heidi.But in addition to being a good lawyer, Nathan has the power to fly. Nathan has always been the golden boy of the family while his brother Peter has always been more of a black sheep, dreamer type. Peter begins to have dreams that he is able to fly and when he decides to test out this power he is astonished to be scooped up Nathan. The brothers realize that Nathan can fly and that Peter has the power to absorb the powers of those around him.Peter believes there is some purpose to all of this but Nathan has a campaign to run and does not have time to worry about being a superhero. Even when he is approached by geneticist Mohinder Suresh and encounters Hiro Nakamura who claims he can travel through time Peter is uninterested. Like the others he is briefly captured by Noah Bennet but is able to fly away unharmed.Nathan is not a bad man fundamentally but he is not a wholly good guy either, spending more time in the grey than many of his super-powered counterparts. He has flexible morals when it come to his marriage and his campaign. Nathan wants to win and even though he understands and would like to adhere to scruples he knows this is not always how the game is played.
