Sylar's thing about mimicry was always fascinated to me too. I took it to be a symptom of being unhappy with himself, or of having little life experience. Always wanting to do more, have more, but never knowing how to get it. We just finished watching season 3 at GB's and I really got a sense for Sylar's desire to have shape shifting.

Ha! Thanks for the insight. I'm afraid my mind goes to bad places when I think of me and shapeshifting. LOL!

Oh, and I was thinking the people over at sylar_peter would really appreciate this.
