Empathy
Yeah Sylar can copy powers by forming an empathic bond w/ them. His guilt over bashing Bryan Daviss' head open allowed him to retain telekinesis after he was cured of the Shanti virus but he lost the rest since he scalped them. And recently he used the empathic mimicry side of his ability to get Elles lightning, Shapeshifting, and in the season 3 finale Nathans flight. But Sylar always prefers the direct approach. Maybe Peter will be strong enough to only use "Empathic Mimicry" but Peter goin Dark Side ...
