Enhanced strength and senses

Mohinder climbs a wall in the loft.
Held by: Mohinder Suresh
Examples of enhanced strength and senses

Mohinder's ability is an as-yet not fully understood 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 acquired an artificially induced ability with several effects. He initially 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 jumps from a prone position to his feet, and he fights off two muggers (The Second Coming). We soon find that he apparently has 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. He also claims to have heightened senses, and he is able to climb a wall without any need for handholds.

His hearing is sensitive enough to hear fighting between a woman and her abusive husband in a nearby apartment that he could not hear before (I Am Become Death).

The injection has also produced less desirable effects. The second morning after the injection, Mohinder's back showed peeling, weeping sores (The Butterfly Effect). His hands began to produce a thick green slime, and his behavior has become more aggressive and erratic. He snaps harshly at Maya and beats his neighbor with little provocation. He also shows an aversion to bright lights (I Am Become Death). It is not yet clear whether these symptoms are aspects of his new ability or are other side effects of the injection.

Mohinder is able to shape the slime he produces into cocoons, which he has used to imprison three people. Those encased in the cocoons seem to be almost totally paralyzed. (Angels and Monsters)

Four years in the future, the effects of the formula mutate Mohinder into something barely human, forcing him to conceal himself when Peter comes 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 much of the wall in the loft. (I Am Become Death)
