So Mohinder's Spider-Man?

[kevin_video]

Super-Strength, agility, and walking up walls? Not to mention he hangs upsidedown? You gotta be kidding me.

[getkuhl]

yeah that one seems a but cliche. nikki had super strength and i never saw her gripping a wall like that.

[warriorrenegade]

He's changing. Reminds me of "The Fly"...wonder if he'll physically mutate. Already has slimy scales and is losing some hair. Also is Maya...preggers? Will she have "hinderFly's" baby. LOL.

[kp1984]

He gets more then one abillity. Seem kind of cool at frist but it look like he was mutating.

[warriorrenegade]

I wonder if he'll keep a body part collection in his medicine cabinet? Ewww! LOL

[Ginx]

Def going the route of the Fly.

Randy made a good observation - what if Mo is turning into the monster on the cover of the 9th Wonders comic..... could explain the destruction of the city in the future?

[warriorrenegade]

OH S**T! You're right. OMG never thought of that. That would be awesome. What was the monsters name.. Uluru? Something like that right?

[Ginx]

OH S**T! You're right. OMG never thought of that. That would be awesome. What was the monsters name.. Uluru? Something like that right?

Yeah, that was it's name. Some mythical monster that they keep tying into the series....

if it's right then Randy is a genius!

[Patient101]

DAMN!!! I was so proud of myself for coming up with that Uluru theory. I was hoping to came back and wow you all. Thanks jackass, lol. I am definately on board with this though. That is what I immediately thought of.

[Vergon6]

The Fly was my first inclination once I saw him mutating. Although as I mentioned in the live thread, Spider Man once mutated into a human spider, at least in the 90s cartoon. Oh I see it was also in the comics. Although this cover only shows him with the multiple arms and not the Spider face:

[Lex'sLover]

well.. my cousin pointed out (i didnt really notice) that there was hissing in the background while Mohinder was in the bathroom or something.. and I guess he could be kinda like.. shedding his skin like a snake. And didnt they show a snake a couple times? Maybe he isnt spider man.. he is.. um... Snake man? lol

seems to have webbed hands in that shot and when you factor the abilities he showed the fly or man spider seems to still be the most likely

[ChronX4]

The entire seen of him showing his abilities strongly, and I mean strongly reminded me of "The Fly", heck even the part where he noticed the transformation was almost the same (more extreme, but the same).

They did show a snake while Matt was in Africa. It was crawling along a branch.

[Mischael12]

Cthulu? Mohinder is CthulU? LULZ?!

[STFanatic]

Perhaps he does become a giant monster.

When Hiro went to the future, was that an explosion, or a Godzilla type creature tearing up Japan?

I gotta look closer.

[Mini Wolfsbane]

O_0 I can't believe they gave him powerz. (yes, I said powerz. With a z.)

...Trying not to go all fangirly over here, but OMG, I finally got to see him with no shirt. And I was not disappointed! Woot!!

Aaaanyway, I found it interesting that he's mutating. A little off the wall for a show like Heroes, IMO, but at least they're trying to keep things fresh and not repeat themselves.

:mad::( Didn't like the whole idea to mess with Mya, though. I mean, it makes her look trashy. Last season she was into Sylar and now she's hopping into bed with Mohinder?
Can you say skanky much? (Though Sylar probably shouldn't really count, but she did kiss him.) What was the point? Was there even a point? "Hey, let's do this because we're a PG-13 type show!" TV show Writers. Uugggh.

[STFanatic]

:lol:
It is not "trashy" for the guys to run around shirtless and ravenously jump the women, but if the women respond they are "trashy" ;)

Honestly, I thought Maya was much "hotter" looking than the new Nikki this season.

[Mini Wolfsbane]

^No, no. I was good with it up until he "jumped her" for seemingly no reason.
Not just because she responded to it. (I almost thought nothing would happen, but he seemed a little too jazzed up for anything to not happen. Then when he said whatever it was about her body, I knew
it was going there.)

Besides, who said it was wrong for guys to run around shirtless? If they didn't, I would be bored. ^_^

Heheh. His chest was jiggly. LOL!!

[spicyblark]

hahahaha That made me laugh!

Poor Mohinder, now he's sheding like that creepy bugkid in season 1 of smallville

[Ginx]

:lol:

If you watch the scene I think that Mo had some kinda sexual aroma on his side because he came on really strong and she just gave in and was sorta powerless to say the least.

Maya is trashy to me - just by the way she acts, how she dresses, and the overall character itself. Has nothing to do with her jumping Mo... or him jumping her.

ewww... and lets hope we don't go all Fringe and see some kinda mutant spawn.......eww

[Jaded Wolf]

I was shocked to see that but I also always thought Heroes was more of a tribute to the superheroes in comic books and most of the show gives slight nods to them. The future Peter travels back in time to kill Nathan so as to prevent the testing, persecution, and slaughtering of all the other powered humans is reminiscent of X-Men's Days of Future Past. Mohinder having spider-like abilities from a scientific experiment is reminiscent of not only Spider-man but maybe also The Fly depending on what that mutation does.

I like all these references and tributes so I say bring it on.

[STFanatic]

I just watched the scene again, for some reason Mo was heavily drinking chocolate milk, he seemed to have a cooler full of it.

[Ginx]

wahh? lol - Ok I need to watch that again. Maybe it's coffee? This could end up being the anti-milk campaign lol....

[STFanatic]

It was indeed chocolate milk, he picked one carton up when Maya came in, it was empty, so he grabbed another one from a cooler and gulped it down really fast and leaped up the wall like Spidey.

[MetroGirl06]

Shoot, if chocolate milk is the secret I shoul've been Spider Woman by now! :p

[GottaLoveHotSuperHeros]

I was thinking maybe he's some kind of lizard/reptile boy. Because they can also climb walls and peel.

and I was just thinking of how he had his dad's pet lizard named Mohinder

[The Ninth Doctor]

Mohinder has become LIZARD MOHINDER!

Chandra wasn't able to paint the future- he was able to name the future!


EDIT: Gah, you beat me by a split second!


EDIT: No you didn't, you beat me by a few hours. Sorry.

[Merfish]

My theory is that Mohinder is turning into a Cockroach, because he's like in love with them and it'd be sweet and when he was "transforming" in the shower he looked pretty roachy, also Cockroach LOVE chocolate milk

[The Ninth Doctor]

I was thinking cockroach was an option when Beaman called his abilities "Bug powers", because the cockroach has been such a constant image for the show.


But Lizard Mohinder is more punny, so I'm sticking with that theory for now.:)

I thought it was just regular milk. I couldn't really figure out why he was downing it like it was going out of style. Probably something to do with calcium.


You guys are funny. Thanks for the laughs. I needed them!:)

Many insects combine calcium-carbonate with chitin to make the chitin harder!:eek:

Interesting indeed ;)

[Mischael12]

...Calcium Carbonate...is found in Chalk...limestone...not chocolate milk, at least last time I checked it wasn't.

I wonder who sponsored this segment?

AHHAHAHHAA.......wow

The anti-milk ad..... drink milk and become a giant lizard or a roach... I don't think that I could stand him being a roach, it would be too funny (keep getting flashes of Beetlejuice when he's trying to get the girl to guess his name and there is a big roach in a chair that says 'hey, how ya doin' lol.......)

The urulu might be semi-believable if they keep it out of the direct sight or maybe he'll take some more of Claire's blood and heal himself and then vow to never mess with powers again or something cheesy like that..... or Maya could just kill him out of fear.

http://www.timburtoncollective.com/screencaps/albums/beetlejuice/beetlejuice224.jpg
roach from Beetlejuice (oops said it twice already lol)

[Novak Fan]

To tell the true I didn't like him having powers. But if he is muting (sp?) into something then I don't get it...he must be different too somehow so Maya's blood have that effect on him.

----- Added 1 Minutes later -----

Because , I know that brain and blood is a different thing :p but Sylar is fine so far, and had stoled powers from everybody.

[Mischael12]

Mohinder was always special, his blood was the only thing original that could cure the virus right?

So maybe its not just that virus but powers in general.

[jimmyolsenblues]

oh yeah, I had forgot that. Thanks! So when he mixed up his blood with one with powers it was liked an explosion. Still I can't keep out The Fly reference to his plot though :\

[Xanderman]

Yeah Mohinder is definitely "The Fly" now. Lol the similarities/references were pretty much obvious.

"Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it." Words to live by in the Heroes universe. lol

I'm not sure if they're making him a fly-man specifically but he'll definitely be some sort of bug(man). heh good stuff

[iluvSmallvilleandi'm24]

I just wanna say Maya was hot. Who wouldn't wanna get the freak on with her??? (pun intended)

[STFanatic]

I agree, she looked amazing.

And, if I were not married, yes, yes I would ;)

[last man of krypton]

He's changing. Reminds me of "The Fly"...wonder if he'll physically mutate.

In addition to other thoughts on "The Fly", Mohinder really reminded me of Jeff Goldblum, in look and mannersisms. Particularly when he drank the milk; that reminded me of when Jeff's character unconciously kept adding sugar to his coffee.

[The Ninth Doctor]

...Calcium Carbonate...is found in Chalk...limestone...not chocolate milk, at least last time I checked it wasn't.

Well Calcium is found in milk, and he can get the Oxygen and Carbon from other places.

Just a little duct tape on her mouth and she's not bad looking. It's what comes out of her mouth (whiney whiney whiney complain complain complain blah blah blah) that kills the character for me...

LOL'ing but I wasn't really considering the 'character' when I made the above comment. Mine was purely a male admiring a gorgeous female rrreeoow....

But I agree with you on the character point of view, she is a bit of a whine, and I can't believe she just left the syrum with Mohinder without even trying to destroy it. She has soo much power, but doesn't use it properly...

But oh well, she's hot. :rotfl:

[Ginx]

hehe... behold the difference between men and women lol!!!

If someone is really hot physically but says stupid things and whines then it's a turnoff for me and it makes them unattractive. No matter how little they wear, how sweaty they are, the more stupid crap the fuglier they are to me.

Now that being said - there is a difference between being dumb and just saying stupiduselessfunnystuff, I love to laugh. I just hate stupid people. I also hate women that make other women look desperate, dumb, and skank... *cough*palin*cough* but we won't go there lol...

And I'm the first to admit that I also have dumb moments - I'm not talking about moments, I'm talking about the entire existence of a person.

Simone from the movie or am I missing the reference? Robert DeNiro? Just wondering because that is what is fresh on my mind with the name reference. They keep Maya on for diversity and because she's got a nice rack... oh and nice hair - that is about it. On mute she's actually very appealing. Except for that 'bambi' eyed face that she's always got. But Claire has that deer in the headlights look a lot too - much be the director.

OPEN YOUR EYES WIDER.... WIDER... no that's not working... uhm, unbutton your shirt... wider... perfect.

[The Ninth Doctor]

Simone from Season 1. She was notable for being Charles Deavaux's daughter, Issaac and Peter's girlfriend, and never having a line of dialogue that was not her whining.

ohhhhh right! My apologies I had the reference from that movie with DeNiro in my head because the movie was on the other day. I remember her. Didn't like her either. The only girl that I think is cool thus far is the flash chick because she's not whiney. Elle has possibilities but they need to give her character more screentime and better lines.

Oh and Ma Petrelli who is cool to me.

[Azurewrath]

Theory:

Maybe there's a reason why Heroes powers develop the way they do, and reasons why regular humans don't.

My theory was that maybe he injected himself, the powers came, but his body wasn't built for them, so he started mutating, he body rejected it, didnt like the change, etc, maybe?

[Sweetie]

I can't beleive they did this to Mohinder.He wasn't even acting like himself for some weird reason.It's just too much,too soon.I liked this character because he was intelligent,sweet,had compassion and wanted to help people.Now,he just a freak of nature just like the others.Even worst,he is going to turn him into a monster.He was much more interesting before.

agreed that they didn't do justice to him, they rushed it, and possibly that he was more interesting before......

that being said - Mohinder has always been flawed - throughout all the seasons he kept wishing for a way to protect himself and as the seasons go on he's gotten more and more mad scientist in his thinking. Finally when presented with the opp to get powers so he can be what he wants to be and 'protect' himself - well he jumps without looking.

not the shinning hour for the character but to be honest I'm not surprised by his actions - I am surprised that he was able to develop a 'syrum' so quickly is all. It took him almost all season to develop a syrum cure for the 'virus' from last season [shrug]

And now that I think about it - if Mohinder's blood was the cure last season - if something else comes up Mohinder's blood is no longer pure and has now been tainted meaning that his blood no longer holds the answers. way to screw the pooch mo':\

I think its a way for Mohinder to realize having powers is not as cool as he once thought. Now at least he has motivation to find a "cure".

[Nataku]

well.. my cousin pointed out (i didnt really notice) that there was hissing in the background while Mohinder was in the bathroom or something.. and I guess he could be kinda like.. shedding his skin like a snake. And didnt they show a snake a couple times? Maybe he isnt spider man.. he is.. um... Snake man? lol

Yes there were hissing sounds through out the scenes once Mohinder got his abilities (similar to the clock sound for Sylar), but its wasn't hissing of a snake, it was of a cockroach. Guess all that talk in the pilot about cockroaches being the perfect form of evolution and "God's image" is biting in the ass after molting. My first reaction of seeing Mohinder's insect mutation was "Bug Boy" from the second episode of Smallville.

[Lex'sLover]

ok.. well.. i really hope he isnt a cockroach.. thats pretty nasty.. lol.. but then again.. as long as he isnt a spider.... but.. then again.. that could explain the wall climbing... *shivers* eeewww... Mya... you just slept with a snake/Cockroach/ Spider man lmao

You think it was the sound a roach would make? I heard numerous sounds...a cat like sounds, bat sounds, and reptile. They kept changing with each scene he was in and what he was doing. The cat-tiger sound was when he and Maya got it on.

To be honest, I've never heard a roach hiss before so I wouldn't know what that sounds like.

That bothers me a little, because on season one he was "my father this, my father that" ...always wanted to find an explanation to help the ones with powers
and show the world that her father wasnt' just a crazy doctor.

And also about Maya...I think that she's that whiney because someone always have take care of her aka her brother Alejandro. Until he was killed. So now, that role have it the closest person to her. In this case Mohinder

[Lex'sLover]

I dont really remember exactly what the hissing was.. but for some reason a cockroach never really even crossed my mind until now. I'm not sure if they were hinting at anything in particular or just doing randomness to screw us up. And the cockroach really doesnt describe the weird shedding.

Ya.. that is kind of stupid that he would just go and screw up the research and his blood that held so many answers just so he could have powers. I mean.. yes.. I understand you hate Sylar.. powers will help you fight him, but your not going to kill him powers or not! I mean.. Sylar has gotten ganged up on by all the heroes almost.. he's gotten stabbed and shot and sedated and nothing works! What makes Mohinder think just because he has powers now that he is going to make a difference?

And yes.. Mya is whiney and needs someone to take care of her. Like even after she had Alejandro.. she had Sylar.. though he was using her.. he did take care of her for a while. And now Mohinder. And though they do look hot together.. I really am not sure how i feel about this sudden rushed relationship.. I mean.. already they are f***ing? I guess Mya doesnt really wait. She did the same thing with Sylar.

[citizenlen]

Maya is one horny b*tch. I mean at least Jessica/Tracy/Niki/Gia, etc..etc..etc..use sex to get what they want or need-like money or power. Maya's just a plain nympho. And that her blood somehow can be mixed in non-heroes blood so they can have powers is just BS. Now, Mohinders' blood is tainted which contain the only cure that has affected many people with powers in S2 which the story lines remain open. Then now, he's cockroach man and him getting it on with Horny-MayaTM concur the idea he is a cock-roach.;)

I could have done without the sex scene. I would have rather had that time progress his character as the White House Official Scientist instead of the Dr. Jekyll/Mr Hyde. Maybe, they'll salvage or redeem his character by killing Maya.

[Lex'sLover]

lmao! I know.. totally Horny. Like.. thats her kind of comfort or something.. pretty sad. She really gets around.. I wonder whos next lmao.

hmm.. killing Mya.. i wouldnt mind that.. cause then we wouldnt have to worry about Sylar getting her power either.

[The Ninth Doctor]

I thought that Ms. Almost Puritanical South American Catholic Girl suddenly deciding to have sex with Mohinder was another manifestation of his new animalistic abilities- some kind of pheremones.

[DonnerR]

The whole Mohinder & Maya scenes in the apartment is a complete homage (ripped off?) of the scenes between Seth Brundle & Veronica Quaife apartment scenes in The Fly, not Spiderman althought his climbing the wall does look like Rami's Spiderman scene.

Mohinder becoming narassic and inflated with ego as a crazy scientist who seemingly discovered some kind of philosopher's stone - similar take with Brundle and his transformation into some kind of super-freak. Mohinder's hanging on the ceiling, jumping down to meet Maya ,climbing the wall, making love, waking up and seeing yucky transformation in the mirror are all almost exact copy of Brundle's scenes in The Fly. I should know because I was really old enough to see the Fly in the cinema in '86 and have since seen it so many times. It therefore means that Mohinder is likely to transform into a monster, just as Brundle did near the end of the film. But what kind of monster?

I think that it'd have been easily to find the cure for Sylar, you know? something that could have taken out his powers. I guess that after all, Mohinder wanted to be special too, like Sylar always is saying he wanted himself.

[bobsuncorp]

Absolutely. They pretty much stole.. sorry did a homage to the 1980 whatever remake of The Fly, I noticed this in:

1- The scene where the protagonist is crawling around on the walls and ceiling wearing only a pair of jeans, the love interest enters the apartment, whereupon he drops to the floor (in The Fly by this point he is too icky looking to subject the audience to a love scene but in an earlier scene he was doing some pretty extreme excercises and then he got busy - this one could be a mix of the two).

2- The first time he noticed a change was in the bathroom looking into the mirror. I think his fingernail came off or something.

3- He's a crazy scientist. Nuff said.

4- He's got black curly hair.

5- One is Indian one is an american Jew. Ok that last one doesn't work.

[DonnerR]

Even the Mohiner & Maya apartment has the same look & feel as Brundle's apartment in the fly. The atmospheric scenes & vibes in both films are so similar as well. A few screenshots:

You are right. The reason why I made the Spiderman connection was because of the very Spiderman film-style wall crawling. I have only seen The Fly a couple of times, but I immediately noticed parallels to that as well. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Sendhil Ramamurthy watch clips from The Fly and Spiderman before shooting those scenes ;).

The thing I remember most about The Fly was the scenes you posted pictures of.

[Novak Fan]

Now the question here is if they did that on purpose, because the similarities (yeah, ripped off?) to The Fly are SO obvious. Tim Kring could always say that it's a tribute or something like that :rolleyes:
Thanks for the pics DonnerR :) In fact even the actors are very alike.

I still think of the 1986 version of "The Fly" as a remake and a fairly new movie till I looked up the date it was released.
I still remember going to it with a date.

He's changing. Reminds me of "The Fly"...wonder if he'll physically mutate. Already has slimy scales and is losing some hair. Also is Maya...preggers? Will she have "hinderFly's" baby. LOL.

I know, I wasn't digging the whole Mohiner has abilitys like Spiderman deal but
it seems that he is mutating now and I wonder if he will turn
into something like the Beast in X-Men? What does everyone think?

I don't think the fly similarities were a rip off, or a tribute, but rather a clue, along with the milk and hissing.


I'm going off to watch the commentaries now, and there's no way they won't mention that scene, so we will see.

EDIT: (At Xanderman because I don't feel like making a new post right now). Well we can all see the extreme similarities, but do we know they're there specifically to honor the film, or to allude to it?

I think it was meant to be an obvious tribute/homage to The Fly. As the pics DonnerR posted above should make clear.
