We have seen Sylar to have several very different powers, which include flight, telekenesis and possibly tissue regeneration. One explaination could be that Sylar has very similar powers to Peter, some kind of power mimicry. Apparently Sylar has found a way to permenantly absorb the powers of others, possibly by removing their brian and infusing their DNA with his? (or eating it?)
After last night's episode of Hiro's time travel, seeking out Peter, it made me suspect that Sylar is actually Peter from the future. Peter in the future, somehow managed to teleport himself back in time to the present (with Hiro's Powers) however, back in the present, he is unable to return to the future (since Hiro is not present in the present Peter is in). He seeks out the elder Suresh and learns a great deal of his power and even how to permenantly absorb powers of others. He uses his research to try to amass as much power as possible, by locating as many "special people" as possible, while assuming the identity of his first victim, the real Paul E/F. Sylar.
The future Hiro and other Heroes do not know that the future Peter has travelled to the past and became Sylar. Only Hiro himself (with his abilities) has noticed that the Time space continium has been changing. He travels back in time to warn the good Peter that something will happen to Claire after which will make Sylar almost invincible (hence save the cheerleader) and start the chain of events that lead to an apocalyptic future (hence save the world).<!--IBF.ATTACHMENT_44323--><!-- THE POST -->
