Many characters believe that there is a higher calling from which they get their powers.
Episodic Recurrences
Genesis
- Mohinder speaks of God creating man in his own image, joking that God's image is that of a cockroach. He postulates that man might be worthy of God's image if he evolves.
Six Months Ago
After quoting the Biblical book Ecclesiastes, Mohinder wonders if there is any sign of big events--he asks if it's "a whisper in God's ear".
Don't Look Back
- Mohinder mentions God intervening in our lives.
- An article refers to a "Good Samaritan" in the Odessa Register.
Godsend
- Ando translates part of the Symbol to mean "Godsend", and calls Hiro's power a godsend. Hiro thinks the sword is a "sacred object".
- When Claire says she doesn’t consider her power a gift, the Haitian says that powers are God-given and should be respected.
- In jail, Niki prays to God for help. Jessica takes over and says, "Who needs God when you've got me?"
Run!
Sylar (posing as Zane Taylor) tells Mohinder that he had an epiphany that made him feel at one with nature and God.
Company Man
- After realizing her daughter has a unique power, Sandra thanks God and tells Claire that she prayed so hard and her prayers were answered. Sandra tells Claire that she always thought Claire was a miracle; when someone rises from the dead, it's a miracle. Claire doesn't believe she's a miracle--she's not sure if her abilities are God-created or if they come from somewhere else. When Ted agrees that God didn't make them this way, Sandra insists that God makes us all the way we are.
- Later, when Claire expresses anger at her father, Sandra expresses her faith in her husband. She tells Claire, "God gave you a second chance. Please give your father one."
Graphic Novel Recurrences
- In his childhood, Mohinder's grandmother tells Mohinder stories about Kali that inspire him to avenge his father's murder. (Monsters)

- Hana wirelessly admonishes child pornography subscribers to "log off, kneel down and pray." (The Path of the Righteous)
- Hana does not believe religion is a good topic for a first date. (The Lonestar File)
Notes
- The Corinthian Casino shares its name with "Corinthians", a book of the New Testament containing three epistles from St. Paul to the people of Corinth.
