Mohinder Suresh - Powers and Abilities

Powers and Abilities

In the first two seasons, Mohinder is an ordinary human with no abilities. However, after he injects himself with a faulty formula derived from Maya's adrenaline, Mohinder gains Spider-Man-like powers. These include heightened senses, enhanced strength, wallcrawling, and the ability to jump extremely high. As a side effect of using an incorrect formula, he also begins to biologically generate a substance that is similar to a spider's web, and develops scales on his skin. The infection eventually spreads throughout his body. After being exposed to the perfected formula, the side effects disappear, leaving him with only the increased strength, agility and reflexes. In "A Clear and Present Danger", with his increased strength Mohinder was shown to be strong enough to rip the door off a car. When Peter replicated his power to help him out as a paramedic, he demonstrated that Mohinder's other abilities comes with enhanced agility and reflexes as well ("Orientation").

In addition, Mohinder was born with unique antibodies that can counteract the Shanti Virus, curing the disease it causes to evolved humans, returning their abilities as well ("The Hard Part"). Some, more evolved, strains of this virus require the addition of Claire's regenerative blood to enhance the effect of Mohinder's antibodies ("Out of Time").

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:

    He who is conversant with the supernal powers will not worship these inferior deities of the wind, waves, tide, and sunshine. But we would not disparage the importance of such calculations as we have described. They are truths in physics because they are true in ethics.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    At twenty you have many desires which hide the truth, but beyond forty there are only real and fragile truths—your abilities and your failings.
    Gérard Depardieu (b. 1948)
