POWERS

WHAT THEY MEAN
Able to heal from most wounds including cuts, broken bones, burns, internal injuries, gunshot wounds, and the occasional autopsy. Also, varying pain resistance. After the episode The Second Coming, when Sylar takes her abilities, she is found to be immortal and due to Sylar unable to feel pain.
HOW SHE GOT AND/OR DISCOVERED THEM
While arguing with Jackie over a cheerleaders outfit she cut her hand deeply with a piece of glass. That wound healed over the course of a few days. She proceeded to test her limits with dangerous stunts filmed by Zach.When Sylar took the top of her head off, he informed her that she is immortal. After that encounter, she is unable to feel pain.
HOW SHE USES THEM
She jumped out of a window to get away from Nathan and save Peter/the world.
KNOWN VULNERABILITIES
Although she can apparently heal from any wound, if the cause of the wound remains and is located just behind and below her left ear, Claire cannot heal from it and is left dead unless the item is removed by someone else (such as the stick or, later, the glass in Peter's head). It is unclear whether she could heal from a wound that either decapitated her, though she seems able to regenerate from nearly full radioactive disintegration.


EXTRAS

MOST MEMORABLE LINES
"You can fly? Cool..."
"I walked through fire and didn't get burned."
"I died once. It's no big deal."
"Home where? Our house burnt down."
THINGS ABOUT HER YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE NOTICED
It seems Claire and her uncle, Peter, have a very close relationship, before they knew they were related it seemed they liked each other.

Despite being able to rapidly regenerate from any wound, it seems that Claire's powers are selective, she has her ears pierced and must be constantly repeircing her ears every day as her earrings change at least once every episode.
HER PLACE IN THE 'HEROES' UNIVERSE
"Save the Cheerleader, Save the World." Due to the story line surrounding this tagline, it is presumed Claire's survival plays an important role in saving New York. In the episode "Chapter 20: Five Years Gone" we find that if Claire were to have died, Sylar would have become essentially invincible and unstoppable.

It seems that Claire's healing abilities will come into play is Volume 2. Bob believes that her blood may be the only cure for the Shanti Virus.
