i never figure this out..

do u know sumthing abt it?

Well his blood has the power to cure the virus... so in a certain way... yeah, he does have a "power"

Now the question is does his blood only cure the virus in those who have similar blood type? I mean if you put his blood in the wrong person wouldn't that now kill them?

That's a bit of a medical question for Heroes, isn't it? Maybe the relevant parts of his blood could be extracted to be used...

He has the power to be extremely anoying

not really..if his blood have an antigen then it can be use in other blood....

I seriously believe he is there to waste screen time. I mean i know he have the list and all but they can still do without him. he doesnt much depth anymore after eden die and his father is finally laid to rest.

in the four years in the future episode
Nathan(who was really sylar) said to mohinder
"you haven't slept in 4 years"
perhaps he doesn't need sleep

I don't think he has a power right now, but it could be an ace up the writers' sleeve, i.e. they could always "give" him a power. After all, his sister had a power of some kind, and characters in the show develop their abilities at different ages...

I dig his accent. Plus, how many Indian characters are there on TV shows these days? I think it's a great marketing ploy on the writers'/producers' part to attract more minority viewers...

I think he is needed to add the human aspect to this show
If it was just all people with special power, then it losses the "real" sense that mohinder brings

Agreed, the heroes need a sympathetic "normal" person to help people relate to them.

doesn't he want to remove all the "disease" from all heroes?
which means this series will end?
hehehe
it is not a good ending eh?

He has the power to be extremely anoying

lol

Maybe everybody who doesn't have special abilites carry around the cure in their blood.

what power did shanti have? i dont think he has a special ability, he is the one to figure out about the others

Exactly, just more writing material for Mr. Kring to entertain us with though I must say i think that the power to heal people with that "Plague" thing is not really a power exactly...

well...i have noticed that it seems like he takes the plague within himself and somehow rids it. then everyone can be well again....he seems to be just the healer of the plague, which to me seems like a really powerful ability.... yet we dont know everything about these two heroes yet. they must have a bigger role to play im sure! but anyways about mohinder, i think that i would consider his antidote-blood a type of power, yes.

he does have a super power....


superHAIR



his hair should have it's own billing....and his five o clock shadow.

@msmarvel
haha you are so funny

Having a human character in this show isn't a waste. Sure, he's not always likeable, but none of them are always likeable. His humanity provides a basis to look at the others with. And also helps emphasise that unpowered doesn't mean powerless and worth less.

Well spotted, But i dont think his power is to live without sleep. His blood just carries the cure

Mohinder is just awesome!

Maybe he's power is to not sleep how cool is that.

Well... mabye his power is more than just cure the plauge? Mabye it can heal all diseases? Then it would've been alot more interesting...

Something tells me we will all save ourselves a lot of headache if we just assume Mohinder's type O negative and therefore can safely inject his blood into anyone and anyone without them reacting to some normal antigen =p (A, B, Rh factor, etc)

However, I think the antibodies he carries aren't connected to the "three simple genes" (as he calls them) that determine whether or not someone has a power. They're just like the antibodies to any other invasive particle that get in the blood... some people have them, some don't, but they're biologically produced by his B-cells, coded in their genome.

Now, WHY they're coded in his genome and whether or not that was done intentionally - and if there are others who carry the ability to make them - is another question entirely. If I remember my biology correctly (heh), what antibodies a person can and can't produce are determined when their B cells first develop and divide, before they "fix" their genomes to react to various antigens... before they develop specificity. (Basically every type of antibody we can produce has a corresponding specific set of B cells that produce it. Those cells start off as general cells, that become specific for producing a certain antibody as they divide. By the time you're an adult, they're done 'choosing' their specificity). So it seems likely that Mohinder was exposed to the virus, or something similar to it, in his infancy or during his development. Considering his sister had it, and therefore his parents could easily have carried it (harmlessly, themselves being powerless), I don't see why not.

I believe if he had an abilityit would make him much cooler
