Maybe Linderman can't heal diseases, only injuries. So far, we know he's healed Papa Petrelli (gun shot wound) and Heidi (paralyzed by a car accident). But we've never seen him heal anyone who had cancer, for example, or some other disease. I've only read each comic once, so I might be wrong, but for now that's my hand waving, fanwanking best guess.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[NAFDA]. This is where we talk about the show and ancillary materials such as web comics! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it. Chuffa, Chuffa!

What is even happening?
Didn't he heal a dying or dead plant?

He did. But plants are different than people. Yeah, that's the ticket.

From an interview with James Kyson Lee:
Do we end up finding out you have a superpower?
Lee: That's the question of the year! I get asked that so many times, and that's a great question for the show's writers. We talk about this all the time. I thought it would be funny if Ando gets a power that's just unique, but random. Like, he can make cheese out of thin air. It'll be like, "Mozzarella!"
Or he could be like a Karaoke Hawk, and when he gets mad he'd turn all blue and start singing 1980s rock songs from Journey with explosions and glass shattering, and everyone would be like, "Stop! We surrender." I mean, who knows? You never know what's going to happen with this show.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Ha ha ha!
Mozzarella!

Heaven's just a funky Ando.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Maybe he's the normal one. We could call him Zeppo. Or Xando.

Or Xando.
I would totally watch the amazing adventures of Eyepatch!Ando and Future!Hiro.

I hope Ando doesn't turn out to have any powers. He rocks more than sufficiently without them.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
A friend of mine maintains that one characteristic of well-written superhero stories is that non-powered characters matter and have 'agency' in the plot.
By and large, this show passes that test with flying colors, so far.
