Examples of enhanced strength and senses |
Mohinder's ability is an as-yet unnamed ability that grants Mohinder enhanced strength, senses, flexibility, and stamina. Mohinder gained this ability through an injection. The formula was flawed, however, causing adverse side-effects.
Characters
- Mohinder is the only character known to have this ability.
Limits
By injecting himself with a genetic modification formula, Mohinder attained an artificially produced ability which has enhanced all of his bodily functions to the peak of human potential. He has described these abilities as being the next step in human evolution, while still remaining completely human, but has since said something has gone terribly wrong with the formula.
Mohinder first seems to demonstrate simple super strength: he crushes a gun with one hand, he is able to jump from a lying position to his feet, and he can fight two muggers (The Second Coming). Indeed, at first he shows seemingly boundless energy, his body is overall stronger, he can easily hang upside down, and he can fall from a height and land on his feet without getting hurt. Back at his lab, he also claims to have heightened senses, and he is able to climb a wall without any need for handholds. He is also able to hear an abusive husband in an apartment that he could not hear before (I Am Become Death).
However, after a day of using his abilities, Mohinder's back is covered with peeling, weeping sores. (The Butterfly Effect) Also, his hands seem to produce a thick green slime and his aggression levels have risen dramatically. He snaps harshly at his girlfriend and instinctively beats his neighbor. He also shows an aversion to bright lights. (I Am Become Death) It is unclear whether these symptoms are produced by his new ability or are other side effects of the injection.
Four years in the future, the effects of the formula mutate Mohinder into something barely human, forcing him to conceal himself when Peter came to visit him. He states that he "got it wrong", implying that the formula he created was not the correct one to grant people abilities. This future version of Mohinder has an intense aversion to light and seems to have brown, scaled hands. Slime seems to cover a lot of the wall in the loft too and may have been produced by Mohinder. (I Am Become Death)
Memorable Quotes
"My senses are heightened. I'm stronger, faster, more agile. I have boundless energy. I'm a new man!"
"I got the formula wrong. So wrong."
Notes
- After taking the genetic modification formula, Mohinder seems to drink copious amounts of chocolate milk. (The Butterfly Effect)
- On his blog, Greg Beeman said, "Suresh displays his new 'bug-like' powers". He also said, "Suresh was to bug-crawl up the wall" and "The writers gave us [some info] about where this bug power was going."
Trivia
- According to Heroes Interactive, the scabs on Mohinder's back are actually made from colored potato chips.
