I suspect Peter's powers became automatic once he learned them. Like muscle memory, where even if you consciously forget something, your body still knows how.

OverRon, I don't remember Nathan and Peter's dad being in the novel. But if he was, and wasn't shown using a power, that doesn't really mean anything; for all we know he had the power to shoot grapefruit seeds out of his ass ;-)

Mr. Petrelli is in the "Lone Star Files" comic arc, DB. He was powerless then, but they were young soldiers then (I think 18 or 19) and we've seen people manifest much later than that.

Yeah, it did show Linderman meeting up with Petrelli Snr. later on in life, so maybe he developed later, and Linderman found out. I had just assumed that the original heroes all developed their powers at around about the same time, like the current generation of them.

I wonder why I didn't notice who he was...Does it actually explicitly say his name and I missed it in my foolishness or is it just implied and I...missed it in my foolishness?
Edit: Check this out. (Once the new comic is up and this link dies, it's comic #920.)
Further Edit: A random string of clicks on Wikipedia made me realize a further medical inconsistency with Nathan. Not only would he be horribly burnt but he'd have radiation sickness too - teeth falling out, hair falling out, etc. We can't say he didn't have cancer or wasn't dying since they never said either way; and he certainly did seem incredibly weak and incoherent, which are symptoms of severe radiation poisoning. However, as far as I can recall the hair that wasn't burned off didn't fall off, and he seemed to have a mouth full of teeth.
