In a recent episode of Heroes called, "The Second Coming ," geneticist Mohinder Suresh, played by Sendhil Ramamurthy, commits the ultimate scientific crime, injecting himself with newly concocted superpower serum without testing it.

For two seasons, Mohinder has been trying to unlock the genetic secrets of hero superpowers. Finally, he finds his answer in Maya when observing that her power manifests itself when she becomes angry. At last, he has isolated the source of powers--the adrenal glands.

Suresh, you genius, you.

Suresh then develops a serum that can give normal humans superpowers instantaneously. In a complete act of crazy, that had me jumping on my couch yelling, "No, Mohinder, no! For the love of God!" he injects himself with the serum.

He doesn't test it. Not on a human subject, Not a monkey. Not on a piece of steak. He doesn't even study the serum under a microscope for more than ten seconds.

But I had hope for him yet. At the end of the episode, Suresh is getting mugged, when he reveals a power, super strength, chucking his foolish offenders in the air.

In the following episode, "The Butterfly Effect," more of Suresh's powers are revealed. Maya finds him hanging from the rafters of his studio, shirtless, breathing hard, and sweaty. He says to her:

"The results are beyond my wildest dreams. I woke up this morning never feeling anything like it! I've been cataloging the whole experience, monitoring my vitals... My senses are heightened. I'm stronger, faster, more agile, have boundless energy. I'm a new man!"

Not only can Suresh climb up walls, Spidey style, his testosterone levels are through the roof because he's a lot more confident and sexually aggressive, which is apparent when he sleeps with Maya.

Can it be? Suresh's rash move has paid off without consequence?

I wouldn't bet on it.

After a night of lovemaking, Suresh wakes up and goes to the bathroom, where a florescent light buzzes eerily over his reflection. The veins in his hands are glowing, and giant, creepy boils are bulging out of his back. *Girly shudder* He pulls one of the boils off, stares at it and says, "What's happening to me?"

Obviously, he's never seen The Fly.
