Mohinder has lived in the US prior to Genesis.	Mohinder has a license to drive a taxi cab. (Genesis).	+ To acquire such a license in the 36 hours the show leaves him is impossible. Therefore he must have acquired the license, or at least its prerequisites, at a previous date. + After seeing Chandra's taxi drivers license among his personal effects, Mohinder goes to the Chelsea Cab Company. The boss offers him a job and he accepts. (Graphic Novel:Monsters) - Mohinder may have been awarded the license illegally. Mohinder's license expires on a day that doesn't exist. It could be a fake, but this most likely a production gaffe or an in-joke. + Many people who study English choose to spend a few years in an English speaking country.
There have been two Mohinders. The Sureshes tailored the fetuses of their children after Shanti, so it would cure her. The first Mohinder died before it was old enough to survive having it's blood taken and used, so a second identical fetus was made to cure Shanti afterwards.	Two different times of birth (one where he was born while his sister was alive, one he was born after) have been given.	- Why make two fetuses, when the first would have been able to cure Shanti? What would the purpose of the current (second) Mohinder be? How would they have been 'tailored?' • Only Mohinder's antibodies seemed to be the cure for Molly and Shanti's sickness. If he was not tailored in some way, wouldn't anyone's antibodies do? - Mohinder says that 'sometimes, when a mommy and daddy have a sick child, they have another baby, a healthy baby, with healthy antibodies' (The Hard Part). Seeing how the disease started with Shanti, even though there have been EH's around since the 16th century (Takezo Kensei), there is a high probability that only Mohinder (and perhaps Chandra and Mohinder's mother too, unless Mohinder is an EH himself and only EH relatives of Shanti's have healthy antibodies) can cure the virus. Furthermore, it is improbable that anybody's (EH or not) antibodies would work, else there would be no need to fear this virus spreading over to the general population.
Mohinder has a power, he doesn't need to sleep.	In Five Years Gone, Nathan says to him: "You haven't slept in five years, Mohinder."	- This is just a figure of speech. - The fact that Nathan could tell Mohinder's tired gives it away. - Mohinder slept (and had his dreams manipulated by Sanjog) while in Chennai. Both times, he seems to have fallen asleep unintentionally.
Mohinder has a power, the power to cure people with his blood.
Mohinder has a power	None.	+ When asked by Bennet "Are you on the list?", he changes the subject. + His sister Shanti was infected with "the virus", which only infects these evolved humans, so it's very possible that he has a power too. + It would explain Chandra's persistant enthusiasm with the whole topic of evolution. + Only Mohinder's anti-bodies can cure the virus. This would make sense as his DNA would be pretty close to Shanti's, the first recorded case of the virus.
