The way i understand it is how follows. If a child is born with a disease that the mother doesn't have that means the mother has the anti-bodies capable of cureing the disease. IF the mother was to then conceve again the child born would also posses the anti bodies to sure the disease. That situation happened with Mohinders sister and mother. Now do i really beleive that its just that, not really.

Aye. I think it's his power... It's not much of a power as it only effects one virus, but it's still something normal people don't have.

And how exactly is the virus spreading? By touching? Kissing? Hugging? How did Haitian get it? The virus developes naturally? Then what's with the spreading virus thingy?

I dont think we know yet. IN the episode Bob says that only Shanti(Mohinders sister), Molly, and the Haitian have gotten this disease. Although didn't the guys from the GN blackout have the disease also?

Yes it would suggest a common denominator.

Specials don't normally congregate together so I think the Company may have done a big mistake that could threaten all of them.

Infected or carrier agents of theirs may be the source of the spread of infection.

Who knows how much the dormancy period of this virus anyway?

The way Mohinder described it to Molly in the first season kind of made it sound like a virus already known and found in the normal human world, not something newly discovered that only affects specials.

Well the Syhindlar romance of last season may have led to some blood/genetic materal swapping that may have given him to power of:

Supa' Blood.

Why shouldn't you believe that? That really is possible in real life. What they want though, is umbilical cord blood. That contains stem cells to fight infection and disease. Read this: http://sogc.medical.org/health/pregnancy-cord-blood_e.asp

Well, that is pretty much how it goes. Mohinder to some effect said that when treating Molly.

Does this mean Mohinder is special, well his blood is the only thing that can fight the virus that seems to only effect/kill people with powers so he is special in that effect. Does this mean its his power per say, well it seems more a side effect of him being created in part to cure his sister. So sister with powers gets sick, they have Mohinder to cure her with the explanation you gave above and because the problem in this case was the virus that kills people with powers he developed antibodies to fight such.
