I"m not sure, maybe the thing that Mohinder used on himself started to spread? Giving him that power, perhaps. Unless it's totally unique, idk.
But I was just thinking.. if it was Sylar wouldn't he have taken his power, before actually killing him? Or rather take his power, while killing him..

It seemed like red lighting or something. Its possible that Ando will have an ability seeing as Mohinder has created a serum for it. I think the writers are trying to throw us off a bit when Ando said "maybe its not me, its someone else." Because of course, Ando would NEVER do that, but a lot happens in the future...so we'll see. Or!!!!! Maybe Hiro is the Villain and Ando was the Hero stopping him. We don't know the context of the conversation either!
Good point, Hiro does seem to get caught up on a lot of stuff and Ando seems to always do the right thing.
If that really was Ando, he would of probably been the hero.
