Sylar was able to extract other's powers and use them himself. Most of his victims ended up dead, but later in the series we learn he can do it without killing.

I want to say he had to examine their brain and 'how it worked' because both he and his father were clock/watch repair men. That or I originally thought they implied that he had to eat the part of the brain to gain their power, though he does get strong enough later to not need to do any of that.
