MattBurns:
uhm, Linderman clearly had powers in the 6 part comic war buddies.

Linderman and Petrelli were in the war together. Linderman had powers, Petrelli, who was his commanding officer did not. Though he witnessed several people who did.

I somehow think he would have mentioned then that he had powers. unless by some chance they failed to manifest until after the war.

which is a possibility, but I find it highly unlikely.

What's so unlikely about it? Neither Nathan nor Peter manifested their powers particularly early (With Peter supposedly closing in on thirty and Nathan, allegedly, being close to forty). Considering the fact that Nathan obviously wasn't born until after the war (According to the comic), he was probably floating right around his early thirties. If anything, this leads me to figure it's much more likely that he didn't manifest until a later age, like his sons. In that sense, he may even have had a more latent power that he never had the chance to discover before.

MattBurns:
I certainly admit the chance that I could be wrong. like I said, it's just the impression that I got.

it's also how the Company works, they team a meta with a normal. It seems logical that that structure would go to the top.

With Linderman and Petrelli being the founders of the company.

alongwaltz:
A lot of the main cast had their powers manifest six months prior to the first episode, right?  As evidenced in the flashback episode.  Nathan, Nikki, Claire, Sylar, and Matt, for sure.  I can't remember.

That's bound to be relevant and not just a coincidence.  Also, there appears to have been a big gap between the golden age and silver ages of heroes.  With the only (so far) notable ones existing in between being Linderman, Claude, and the Haitian.  So what triggered the revival?

People used to think it had something to do with the eclipse in the first episode but since we know that a lot of people had theirs for about half a year before that, I guess not.

Nikkie and Claire are the only two whose powers definitely manifested around the timeframe of six months ago.

Parkman appeared in Six Months ago, but his powers didn't manifest until the start of the show in the second episode at the Walker crime scene.

Nathan's powers are indeterminable. They may have manifested then or not, it's hard to say. His power's one that you wouldn't really notice until it came up.

Sylar's power allegedly manifested a long time ago. In Six Months Ago, he mentions that he's always had a knack for "knowing what makes things tick," which is essentially his power when broken down to the basic component. He'd never run into another powered individual before Brian and wouldn't know the other aspect of his ability until then.

Peter's power appears to have manifested at the six months ago point. He was having the dream vision during Nathan's crash.

Isaac's power didn't start to manifest in any obvious way until around the start of the show, if I recall correctly. Once more, his is kind of hard to pinpoint as it's one you would only notice by coincidence, but the obvious paintings started showing up around the advent of the show.

D.L. and Micah's stories have given no clear indication of when their powers developed. Micah's one of the best arguments for "since birth" as he's always been gifted with electronics, allegedly.

It would appear, at present, that there may actually be no predictable pattern as to when one's power manifests as per the show. Hana Geitelman's power required a catalyst in the comics. Zayne's powers didn't show up until a few weeks after (His powers manifested a few days before Zayne killed him, which was ten days before the explosion as it's a week to the explosion and Zayne was killed three days before Parasite). Linderman's showed up when he was a child, which had to be around forty years ago, depending on how old he was in 'Nam. Whatever the pattern is, they'll probably give us some detail sooner or later, but there's no specific ascertainable pattern quite yet.
