{{note}} If the accent is an intended trait and not an acting variable, then it would seem as if Mohinder has spent a good amount of time in a primarily English speaking country, probably in Europe.

| 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? What would the purpose of the current (second) Mohinder be? How would they have been 'tailored?'<br />
| [[Mohinder]] has lived in the US prior to ''[[Genesis]]''. || Mohinder has a [[Mohinder's taxi license|license]] to drive a taxi cab. (''[[Genesis]]''). || {{plus}} To acquire such a license in the 36 hours the show leaves him is impossible. Therefore he must have acquired the license, or at least its prerequisites, at a previous date.<br />
{{note}}Only Mohinder's antibodies seemed to be the cure for Molly and Shanti's sickness. If he was not tailored in some way, wouldn't anyone's antibodies do?<br />
{{plus}} After seeing Chandra's taxi drivers license among his personal effects, Mohinder goes to the Chelsea Cab Company. The boss offers him a job and he accepts. (''[[Monsters]]'')<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 anybody's (EH or not) antibodies would work, else there would be no need to fear this virus spreading over to the general population.
{{minus}} Mohinder may have been awarded the license illegally. Mohinder's license expires on a day that doesn't exist. It could be a fake, but this most likely a production gaffe or an in-joke.<br />
{{plus}} Many people who study English choose to spend a few years in an English speaking country.<br />
:{{minus}} India is an English-speaking country.<br />
{{note}} If the accent is an intended trait and not an acting variable, then it would seem as if Mohinder has spent a good amount of time in a primarily English speaking country, probably in Europe.<br />
{{minus}} No, not really. India has naturally gained a English sounding accent due to its roots in the British empire.<br />

| Mohinder has a power  -  he doesn't need to sleep. || In ''[[Episode:Five Years Gone|Five Years Gone]]'', Nathan says to him: "You haven't slept in five years, Mohinder." || {{minus}}This is just a figure of speech.<br />
| Mohinder is related to [[Takezo Kensei]]. || None || {{minus}} Mohinder is of Indian descent, while Kensei is of European or Western descent.<br />
{{minus}}The fact that Nathan could tell Mohinder's tired gives it away.<br />
:{{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 slept (and had his dreams [[dream manipulation|manipulated]] by [[Sanjog]]) while in [[Chennai]]. Both times, he seems to have fallen asleep unintentionally.<br />
{{plus}} Takezo has traveled the world, he might have gone to India on his way to Japan.<br />
{{plus}} Perhaps Mohinder discovered his insomnia power after his encounter with Sanjog.<br />
{{note}} If Mohinder is related to Kensei then it is unlikely that he wouldn't inherit an ability.<br />
{{plus}} After meeting Sanjog, Mohinder has never been shown asleep in ''Heroes''. {{minus}} Noah has never been shown sleeping, he must also have that power then
:{{note}} [[Simon Petrelli]] and [[Monty Petrelli]] are the sons of [[Nathan Petrelli|an evolved human]] and have yet to exhibit powers.<br />
 
:{{note}} Nathan Petrelli was born to two evolved humans and still didn't have an ability.<br />
{{note}} None of the wives that Kensei mentioned were Indian. Though he could have slept with an Indian women without marrying her.<br />
{{minus}} The only thing that supports this theory is the fact that Kensei has been around for a long time. As [[Evan]] and [[Khufu]] prove, there were other evolved humans before, or at the same time as Kensei.<br />
|-
|-
| Mohinder has a power. || None. ||{{plus}}When asked by [[Noah|Bennet]] "Are you on the list?", he changes the subject.<br />
| Mohinder Suresh may be a name variation of the semi-mythical "Beast of the Middle East", Sirrush, and possibly be the monster in which he was transforming into. || None || {{plus}} The Sirrush beast's appearance was that of a dragon-like creature that was covered in scales (much like those on Mohinder's back) a head like a snake's with folds within the skin, one horn protruding on its head, a forked tongue, long neck with a slender tail and the front legs of a lion and the back legs of an eagle.<br/>
{{plus}} His sister Shanti was infected with "the virus", which only infects these evolved humans, so it's very possible that he has a power too.<br />
{{plus}} This creature was mentioned in the apocryphal ''Bel and the Dragon'', an addition to the ''Book of Daniel'' of the Old Testament, further suggesting the connection between main character names and biblical names i.e. Peter, Gabriel, Noah, etc.<br />
{{plus}} It would explain [[Chandra]]'s persistant enthusiasm with the whole topic of evolution.<br />
{{minus}} The Sirrush is Arabian, specifically Babylonian, not Indian.<br />
{{plus}} Only Mohinder's anti-bodies can cure the virus. This would make sense as his DNA would be pretty close to Shanti's, the first recorded case of the virus.<br />
{{note}} Noah gathered animals like [[Noah Bennet]] gathers evolved humans; Peter led the church after Christ's death in the same way [[Peter Petrelli]] leads the heroes after [[Isaac]]'s; Gabriel was the angel of death, specifically seen smiting those unworthy of heaven, much like [[Sylar]] "smites" those deemed unworthy of their powers. Daniel channeled God to keep from being eaten; there is no symbolic tie-in to Mohinder's situation.<br />
{{note}}Mohinder's power could be healing that disease. It's pretty specific, but so is Alejandro's ability to counteract Maya's ability.<br />
{{plus}} In ''[[The Line]]'' one of [[Isaac Mendez]]'s paintings shows Mohinder having smoke come from his finger.<br />
{{minus}} Mohinder clearly is holding a gun, there is smoke coming out of it, not out of his finger.<br />
{{minus}} In ''[[Graphic Novel:Blackout, Part 1|Blackout, Part 1]]'', the patient asks Mohinder if he is one of the special people he talks about. Mohinder says that he isn't. He has no reason to lie to the man either. <br />
{{plus}} He could be in denial or unaware of his abilities.
|-
|-
| Mohinder is related to [[Takezo Kensei]].|| None. ||{{minus}} Mohinder is of Indian descent, while Kensei is of European or Western descent.<br />
| [[Mohinder]] will marry [[Maya]] in the future. || None || {{plus}} He loves her, and she loves him. She never really left him permanently.<br />
:{{plus}} After so many generations it is very likely that any obvious trace of descenty should have be "washed" through the generations.<br />
{{minus}} Maya has left the US and went back to the [[Dominican Republic]], after [[Arthur]] [[Power absorption|removed]] [[Poison emission|her ability]].<br />
{{plus}} Takezo has traveled the world, he might have gone to India on his way to Japan.<br/>
:{{note}} Maya lives in New Jersey. She cannot return to Dominican Republic, she's still wanted for murder. The police might not even know [[Alejandro]] is dead.<br />
{{Note}} If Mohinder is related to Kensei then it is unlikely that he wouldn't inherite an ability. Though his sister had an ability so it may have skipped his generation.<br/>
{{minus}} Maya told Mohinder to stay away from her, after what he did.<br />
{{Note}} None of the wives that Kensei mentioned were Indian. Though he could have slept with an Indian women without marrying her.<br/>
{{minus}} Mohinder has a new girlfriend.<br />
{{Minus}} The only thing that supports this theory is the fact that Kensei has been around for a long time. As Evan and Khufu prove, there were other evolved humans before, or at the same time as Kensei. 
:{{note}} Said girlfriend said she wouldn't wait for Mohinder if he tried to uncover more of his father's research.<br />
|-
| Mohinder is morphing into a [[cockroach]] after using the serum|| None. ||{{plus}} In the past powers have been somewhat related to the users needs or desires. Based on Mohinder's lectures on the cockroach and its use as a symbol of evolution in the show, it would follow that Mohinder's power would be based on the cockroach.<br />
:{{plus}} His abilities shown thus far (agility, clinging to walls, enhanced strength) are characteristics of the cockroach. <br /> {{plus}} When Mohinder turned on the bathroom light, it made him recoil, similar to how a cockroach reacts to light.
::{{minus}}He had just woken up.
:::{{plus}} He closed the curtains of his place in episode 4 Season 3.
{{plus}}The Cockroach has been a prominent figure in the show in the past, and Mohinder made it a part of his speech in the opening scene on the first episode of heroes, stating that the Cockroach has reached the pinnacle of evolution likening it to god.<br/>
{{plus}}In the second episode, Mohinder's seduction of Mya could be because of pheromones, which he now has the ability to use. This would make sense because in previous times when he displayed affection towards her she pulled away.<br/>
{{plus}}He now has a sudden urge for sugar (He was drinking chocolate milk a lot. Which if I'm not mistaken is the first time we have seen him eat.)<br/>
{{plus}}A cockroach crawls over the voice recorder Mohinder used to record his notes about the genetic modification formula he created. Could be a "sign".
|-
| Mohinder is morphing into a spider after using the serum|| None. ||{{plus}} His enhanced human capabilities including super strength, super speed, wall-crawling, and webbing are similar to that of Spider-Man.<br/>
:{{plus}} Additionally, his abilities pre-transformation seem similar to those of Spider-Man's nemesis, the Green Goblin.  It could be an homage of some sort.<br>
{{note}}Why would they steal ideas from a very popular comic book?
:{{note}}Hmmm... because the producers already did it, taking the idea of metamorphosis from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fly]] movie?
|-
| Mohinder is morphing into a [[lizard]] after using the serum|| None. ||{{plus}} Those things on his back could be scales.<br/>
{{plus}} Chandra's pet lizard was also named Mohinder. The writers could have used that as foreshadowing as to what human Mohinder would become.<br/>
|-
|-
| [[Mohinder Suresh]] is becoming [[Uluru]]. || Mohinder injected himself with his experimented serum. It was shown in the season 3 premier.|| {{plus}} Mohinder woke up scaly, having a rocky back and slimy hands after making love to Maya. Before that, he had his own powers. He was super enhanced.<br/>
| [[Mohinder]]'s cocoon was meant to evolve him to the next stage, but the eclipse interrupted this, causing more harm than good. || None || {{plus}} Mohinder's health deteriorates more quickly after the eclipse than it had before.<br />
{{minus}}At the 2007 San Diego Comic Con, Tim Kring said that Uluru only exists in the pages of the comic book.<br/>
{{plus}} Mohinder's ability has been called "insect-like"; cocoons are part of the life-cycle of some insects.<br>
:{{minus}}Something about cannons.
|-
|-
| Mohinder's ability includes spinning web or something of that sort. || {{plus}}Maya and his neighbor is cocooned in some kind of white substance.
| Mohinder's enhanced strength is weaker than Niki's. || None || {{plus}} When Mohinder was imprisoned he couldn't break the metal bar to escape.<br />
:{{minus}} He was drugged and unconscious.<br />
{{plus}} Niki would most likely be able to escape, as her strength has enabled her to break a safe door so the metal bar would be no problem for her. (''[[Stolen Time]]'')<br />
|-
|-
| Mohinder might be a father. || He slept with Maya in season 3, ep. 2 "The Butterfly Effect".|| {{plus}}She may be pregnant. Mohinder wasn't the only one that slept with Maya. Sylar slept with her in season 2.
| Mohinder obtained enhanced strength because of Niki. || None || {{plus}} Evolution states the animals evolve skills to survive and being Niki's partner might have rubbed off.<br />
:{{minus}} He wasn't Niki's partner anymore.<br />
{{plus}} Ando developed the ultimate sidekick power as this was how he saw himself. Perhaps subconciously as a tribute to Niki, his mind/body gave him enhanced strength instead of agility.<br />
:{{minus}} Or rather because he wanted to have a power to defend himself and others from people like [[Sylar]].<br />
|-
|-
| Mohinder Suresh may be a name variation of the Semimythical Beast of the Middle East, Sirrush, and possibly be the monster in which he is transforming into.|| None. || {{plus}} The Sirrush beast's appearance was that of a dragon-like creature that was covered in scales (much like those on Mohinder's back) a head like a snake's with folds within the skin, one horn protruding on its head, a forked tongue, long neck with a slender tail and the front legs of a lion and the back legs of an eagle. <br/>
| Mohinder's ability is enhanced reflexes and enhanced muscle. || None || {{plus}} While Peter had his ability, he was very strong and he could perform great moves. (''[[Orientation]]'')
{{plus}} This creature was mentioned in the apocryphal ''Bel and the Dragon'', an addition to the ''Book of Daniel'' of the Old Testament, further suggesting the connection between main character names and biblical names i.e. Peter, Gabriel, Noah, etc.  
:{{minus}} Peter wasn't particularly fast in those scenes, it was slow enough for him to accurately coordinate his movements. Even the leaps can be explained by enhanced strength in his leg muscles.<br />
|-
|-
| Mohinder has the power of a butterfly, and needs to pupate at which point he will evolve to become a superhuman being, but doesn't realise this.|| None. || {{plus}} Mohinder is producing silk, which caterpillars do when they need to pupate.<br />
| [[Mohinder]] will be killed by Sylar. || None || {{plus}} He is one of the lesser main characters like the deceased [[Nathan]].<br />
{{plus}} Butterflies have often been mentioned in the series, such references to stepping on too many butterflies when time traveling.
{{plus}} All the other non Carnival evolved humans with his ability are dead like Michael and his older partner Niki.<br />
:{{minus}} Often? I can't even think of one instance besides that metaphorical one. Hardly "often".<br />
{{plus}} [[Sylar]] likes powers and had had confrontations with Mohinder several times.<br />
{{plus}} Mohinder has not necessarily killed the people he has attached to his wall, at least one of them was still alive when Maya found him, so he might not be evil and feeding on them like a spider would. <br />
{{plus}} According to Samuel, [[Sylar]] likes more vulnerable prey, like a man pumped with drugs in an institution.<br />
{{plus}} When Peter traveled into the future, Mohinder did not seem to have changed form all that much, such as growing 8 limbs, so if he needs to pupate like a caterpillar, he probably still hasn't realized it at this point and is fighting the impulse to do so, thus remaining in a form similar to his current one. <br />
{{plus}} Mohinder still wants revenge for his father who [[Sylar]] killed.<br />
{{plus}} Butteflies have scales on their wings, Mohinder has scales on his skin, and spiders do not have scales. <br />
{{plus}} Mohinder, Noah and Hiro three of Sylar's enemies are united against Samuel. This means a likely confrontation against Sylar.<br />
{{plus}} The worst of the peeling of Mohinder's skin is around his shoulders, so he might be growing wings under there. <br />
{{minus}} Sylar has now changed and become a hero, he doesn't want to kill anyone anymore so it's unlikely he will kill Mohinder for no reason, plus Mohinder is in India now and has no intention of returning to the USA.<br />
{{plus}} Butterflies have bright colors for the same reason birds do, to attract mates, which is why Maya may have suddenly been attracted to Mohinder when she never was before. <br />
{{plus}} Everyone other than Mohinder has either gotten their powers at conception, or been injected with them by the company shortly after birth, so perhaps pupating into a new form is necessary for someone who is injected with an ability granting serum at an older age. <br />
{{minus}} His form in the future is far more insidious than a butterfly or catepillar. One would think he'd have transformed by that point seeing as he was in seclusion. <br />
{{plus}} Mohinder's future form did not look all that 'insidious'. And he may not have transformed or pupated either because he doesn't realise he should, or is frightened of the prospect and actively resisting it with his will, or with medication of some kind. In addition, the ugliness of his appearance in the future might specifically be due to NOT making a cocoon for himself and transforming when he should. <br />
|-
|-
| Mohinder's formula works just fine, its just that his power (When the formula interacts with "his individual biochemistry") has the 'drawback' of making him a monster, similar to the drawbacks we have seen for other powers (Sylar, Claire, Elle) || None || {{plus}} As mentioned, there are a variety of characters in the show that have powers that come with drawbacks, Mohinder's power could simply have side effect such as a 'hunger' (Analogous to Sylar) and unfortunate physical changes. 
| Mohinders transforming in to a kind of cockroach human hybrid || None || {{plus}}Mohinder talks about how Cockroaches are the height of evolution. Then before he starts getting scaly he says that he Is the same only better.
|-
| [[Mohinder]] will marry Maya in the future. || None. || {{plus}} He loves her, and she loves him. She never really left him permanently.
{{minus}} Maya has left the US and went back to the [[Dominican Republic]], after [[Arthur]] [[Power absorption|removed]] [[Poison emission|her ability]].<br />
{{minus}} Maya telled Mohinder to stay away from her, after what he did.
