Enhanced Senses

• Mohinder does state this and Senses apply to touch also. Jason Garrick 21:45, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
  • Can you pin down the quote? I think that would be good to add to the article.--MiamiVolts (talk) 21:49, 23 September 2008 (EDT)
  • I don't think that's just it. enhanced senses do no make you climb walls--Elchafa 22:30, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
    • YEs they do, balance is actually a sense. And perhaps he can change his balance to walk on walls. Jason Garrick 18:49, 21 October 2008 (EDT)

Name

Couldn't it just be Mohinder's ability, to go with Alejandro's ability? The "Suresh" seems a little superfluous, for lack of a better word. Psilaq Remake 15:36, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

• Sounds like a good idea to me. --Ted C 17:43, 24 September 2008 (EDT)
  • That's how I made it. Someone must've changed it. --Riddler 17:55, 24 September 2008 (EDT)

On an amusing side note, I'm betting he's got Roach Powers. --Ted C 11:03, 25 September 2008 (EDT)

• Did I call it? --Ted C 11:21, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Guess you did :) -- Futurepeter 11:25, 7 October 2008 (EDT)
    • Looks like you were right, Ted. Should we call this cockroach mimicry?--MiamiVolts (talk) 16:36, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
      • Cockroaches can't produce web. I think it's spider mimicry.--Referos 17:32, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
      • Well can't we call it insect mimicry? It seems he uses the abilities of a lot of insects, i.e. an ants strength, spiders dislike of light, spider's web making and wall climbing abilities. Insect ability seems more fit.--Sylarversion2 10:14, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
        • I think the time transition sequence from Mohinder's "present" lab to his "future" lab is a dead giveaway. --Ted C 17:40, 9 October 2008 (EDT)
        • There was a Behind the Eclipse, don't remember which one right now (i think it's the last one or so), where they kind of said Mohinder's powers were actually something like Jeff Goldblum's "The Fly", so I don't think it's "spider-man", and if you give it some thought, it would really suck if they copied that... cause if they do, then what's next? A guy who's super strong, super fast, flies and is extremely allergic to a green rock...? wouldn't that really suck?--Elchafa 22:39, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
          • Peter could do all those things. Apparently his father is his kryptonite, though... ;-) --Maelwys 09:55, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
          • They said] they were inspired by The Fly, but they didn't say his ability is the same. (Admin 10:04, 23 October 2008 (EDT))
• I'm wondering why "ability" was chosen over something more seemingly appropriate, like "mutation". We know it isn't an ability because Peter visited Mohinder in the future and never broke out in gross sores because of it, unless rapid cell regeneration prevents the adverse side-effects. Revengeance 04:24, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
  • Just because Peter is exposed to an ability doesn't mean he knows how to access it. In a recent episode, Peter had to ask future Sylar to help him learn Sylar's intuitive aptitude even though he had been exposed to it on multiple occasions. That said, Peter may never gain access to Mohinder's ability or may have begun using it and not known he had (Mohinder didn't notice the adverse side-effects until the next day). Arthur had transfered Peter's abilities to himself before the next day occurred for Peter, so Peter never got the chance to develop Mohinder's problems. That said, it will be interesting to see what Arthur can tap into; Mohinder's ability could be one of the abilities he took from Peter.--MiamiVolts (talk) 05:08, 24 October 2008 (EDT)
    • Good point about intuitive aptitude. The mutation may be triggered in the same way as "the hunger". When the ability is used, that is. Revengeance 05:44, 24 October 2008 (EDT)

Using Bricks

I watched the episode again, and I'm not entirely sure about this note. I saw his hands flat on the wall at points, I think the cracks may just be coincidental. Maybe it should be noted that it's possible, yet unclear?--Riddler 01:16, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

• Someone kept adding that, and I kept reverting it. He/she must have done it again and I didn't catch it because it was patrolled. I reverted it, because it's completely speculative. You're correct.--Bob (talk) 02:10, 28 September 2008 (EDT)

The Sticky Stuff

What the hell was he using to pin those people to the wall? Webbing? Phlegm? Whatever it was, it sure made me think of Aliens. --PeterDawson 02:03, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

• I'm not sure about this, but the thing I was thinking is that he got the formulla perfectly right ! To me it looks more like that his powers are coming to him in parts. First the super strength and stuff, then the scale-like things, and now the sticky stuff. To me it looks like that his ability is something bug-like, and apparently his power is also changing his appearance. It would indeed be interesting that with certain abilities also comes a change in appearance...--Baby Yoda 13:12, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
  • I doubt Mohinder knows about the Constrictors. Their appearance is also altered by their ability. Mohinder probably thinks his appearance alteration means the formula didn't work properly, but he probably would change his mind if he was to learn about them.--MiamiVolts (talk) 00:48, 15 October 2008 (EDT)

Tin foil

I noticed the small amounts of foil around the lab in the future, but now there's a lot of foil in the lab in the present. Anyone else notice this? I find it odd, might have something to do with this ability.--Bob (talk) 21:22, 14 October 2008 (EDT)

• Yeah, I noticed it last week, but I didn't notice the foil this week. I'm curious what that's all about... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 22:04, 14 October 2008 (EDT)
  • The aliens, of course. Therequiembellishere 00:34, 15 October 2008 (EDT)
    • It's either to stop aliens possessing the furniture, or to give Mo better grip for when he's throwing it at people. On a serious note, I think Mo is covering the reflective surfaces of his lab because he doesn't like what he's becoming. Revengeance 13:52, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
      • ...covering it with slightly less reflective material? Hmm.... -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 15:11, 26 October 2008 (EDT)
        • He crinkles the tinfoil to wrap it... Revengeance 23:36, 26 October 2008 (EDT)

Mohinder's ability

• So in the last episode, (Eris Quod Sum), we see Mohinder flying away. Now it makes perfect sense what is happening to him. Because he got the formula wrong, it's messing up his whole dna, mixing abilites with each other. We saw him use the following powers "Flight" (Eris Quod Sum), "Enchanced Strenght", (The Second Coming), "Enhanced Speed" (I Am Become Death), some form of "Spider Mimicry" (The Butterfly Effect) and i might have missed some. What i'm getting at is that this ability probably can't be named because it's a mixture of abilities. But hey... it's just a little theory. -- Futurepeter ( U - T - C ) 12:30, 28 October 2008 (EDT)
