| There have been two Mohinders. The Sureshes tailored the fetuses of their children after Shanti, so it would cure her. The first Mohinder died before it was old enough to survive having it's blood taken and used, so a second identical fetus was made to cure Shanti afterwards. || Two different times of birth (one where he was born while his sister was alive, one he was born after) have been given. || {{minus}} Why make two fetuses, when the first would have been able to cure Shanti?

:{{plus}} After so many generations it is very likely that any obvious trace of descendants should have be "washed" through the generations.<br />
{{minus}} Mohinder says that 'sometimes, when a mommy and daddy have a sick child, they have another baby, a healthy baby, with healthy antibodies' (''[[The Hard Part]]''). Seeing how the disease started with Shanti, even though there have been EH's around since the 16th century ([[Takezo Kensei]]), there is a high probability that only Mohinder (and perhaps Chandra and Mohinder's mother too, unless Mohinder is an EH himself and only EH relatives of Shanti's have healthy antibodies) can cure the virus. Furthermore, it is improbable that anyones (EH or not) antibodies would work, else there would be no need to fear this virus spreading over to the general population.<br />

Mohinder (''[[The Butterfly Effect]]''). || {{plus}} 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]]''). 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.

{{plus}} In an article in the TV Guide magazine where the Heroes cast asks Tim Kring questions about where their characters are going, Sendhil Ramamurthy asks Tim Kring if Mohinder will ever get his abilities taken away.
