Mohinder Suresh

Mohinder Suresh is a fictional character on the NBC drama Heroes who is portrayed by actor Sendhil Ramamurthy.

However, Sendhil Ramamurthy's audition was so convincing that the main character part was rewritten for a younger geneticist following in his father's footsteps.

To makes ends meet during his lengthy stay, Mohinder takes a job as a taxi driver, eventually picking up a passenger named Peter Petrelli, who asks him about "being special."

The girl, Eden McCain, introduces herself as a friend of Mohinder's father and expresses enthusiasm about his theories on genetics.

As he and Eden thumb through the leather notebook, they discover a list of names, apparently of people all across the globe that possess "abilities."

On the subway ride back, time suddenly freezes for everyone but Peter, who meets a future version of Hiro.

He asks Mohinder if he knew a woman named Sarah Ellis, to which he replies that she was on the list, he had tried unsuccessfully to locate her in LA, and had never met her before.

The officer then shows him a picture of a woman identified as Sarah Ellis and Mohinder tells him that he knew her by a different name: Eden McCain.

Mohinder researches and discovers that by giving Molly his own functioning antibodies, it will restore her humoral immune response.

Four months after the incident in New York, Mohinder has been giving speeches about superhumans and a fatal virus that affects only these special beings.

Mohinder accepts the offer; he and Noah Bennet are planning to take down The Company from the inside, and his speeches had just been bait.

Bob reveals to Mohinder that they are experimenting with the virus in order to stop a man named Adam Monroe, who is killing original members of the Company.

In the third season, Mohinder is able to isolate the source of powers (located in the adrenal glands) from Maya and injects himself with a formula he creates based on that.

Unable to control his aggression, he breaks up a fight with a neighboring couple and brutally beats the man's head against the wall.

When the man comes looking for payback later on, Mohinder overpowers him and pulls him into the lab, encasing him in a cocoon made from the substance his fingers secrete.

His research hits a wall when it is revealed that the formula needs a special catalyst (which can't be artificially produced) to grant abilities without inducing violent mutation.

He is thwarted by a combination of Daphne stealing the vial in his hand and Peter, Flint, and Knox destroying his lab at Pinehearst.

While Matt is drawing, Mohinder suggests to Hiro that he surrender himself and tells Nathan and his men that he is now powerless so that he can live a normal life.

When Daphne is killed and Claire uses herself as a shield after being discovered by Nathan's soldiers, Mohinder, Hiro, Matt, and Ando escape and meet up with Peter.

Mohinder then returns to his apartment to collect some of his possessions, but learns that everything has been confiscated by Danko and his men except some papers that belonged to his father.

After searching through the debris, he learns that his father worked on evolved humans, including some of the founding members of the Company, there from Angela Petrelli.

Mohinder determines that Hiro's body is rejecting his powers and he can't risk stopping time anymore.

Mohinder builds a compass and follows it to the "Sullivan Bros. Carnival", where he meets Joseph, and discusses with him about Samuel's power, unknowing he was eavesdropping them.

Hiro then teleports Mohinder away and hides him under a false name in a mental hospital in Florida in order to keep him out of sight for eight weeks.

In the graphic novel "Second Chances," Mohinder has returned to India back to Mira, but he found a messy apartment, understanding she is in trouble.

He asks the help of Molly, who found Mira being held hostage by a man interested in Mohinder's research.

Mohinder meets Angela Petrelli shortly before the Summit and it is revealed that he has been working in the Arctic and has uncovered proof of a coming extinction-level event, something they refer to as the Healing.

Mohinder refuses to believe Angela due to her past actions, but grows worried after he can't reach his team.

The Heroes graphic novel "Monsters" shows that throughout his life, Mohinder has identified both as Hindu like his mother and atheist like his father.

When he heard that his father, Chandra Suresh, had died, he wondered if perhaps the goddess Kali had punished him for his lack of faith.

Mohinder hits Emile Danko with the cab's door (" A Clear and Present Danger ").
