Theory:Abilities by classical element
Mohinder has said that there are four genes responsible for abilities (Parasite). There are four Greek classical elements (Air, Earth, Fire, and Water) and some parallels can be drawn between them and evolved human abilities in such a way that abilities can be categorized as manifestations of one or more the classical elements.
The categories are applied based on what an ability can do: invisibly interact with matter and things (Air); enhance the user's body (Earth); manipulate and/or generate energy (Fire); or enhance the capabilities of the user's brain, even adding capabilities to it (Water).
Different mutations one or more of these four genes must produce different powers. These genes can be thought of as loci for the control of the classical elements.
