This directly contradicts information provided in [[Genesis]], as [[Mohinder]] only arrived in America after [[Chandra Suresh|his father's]] death at the hands of Sylar - an already established serial killer.

| Held by: | Tim Kring, various other writers |
| Ability to: | Make something canon. |
Induced Canonocity is the ability to make an event in the Heroes-verse canon, even if it doesn't make sense or is contradictory to other information.
Examples of Induced Canonocity
Villains
During Sylar's expanded origin story, it was revealed that Noah was responsible for making him a killer. He later phoned his supervisor to tell him that his mission (discovering how Sylar aquires abilities) was completed. After that, he gets in a cab driven by Mohinder and asks to go to JFK Airport.
This directly contradicts information provided in Genesis, as Mohinder only arrived in America after his father's death at the hands of Sylar - an already established serial killer. Therefore, if Noah had just begun Sylar's killing spree, then Mohinder shouldn't have been in America, as Chandra wasn't dead yet. However, due to the writer's induced canonocity, both events are canon.
