Sylar stole the ability to shape-shift, so he can look like Nathan and anyone else he wants to. I think he has to touch them first, though. So bascially, he touched Nathan and Matt made him think he was Nathan, so the shape-changing kicked in and made him look like Nathan.
And many, many things about Heroes drive me nuts and make no sense (like Sylar still being alive and what happened the ensemble and international focus of the show), so I sympathise.
I agree that the focus has narrowed a lot. I miss Ando the most, myself. And I'm very annoyed by Samuel. He's got the same King-Turd-of-Shit-Mountain vibe that Ben had on Lost. I feel like I'm stuck with the Others again.
If you mean why is Sylar still alive after he was shot and buried - he took on Claire's self-healing power, remember. So no matter what anyone does to his body, he can come back from it.
Sorry, I meant why is that damn character still around when he should have been killed off a long time ago. I'm just bored by him now.
Oooh, yes! He is a lot like Ben! I don't mind him so much but can understand why he would piss people off. He's a bit too smug, isn't he?
If I start talking about how much Heroes annoys me, I'll be here forever. And yet, I'm still watching. Damn my need to see things through till the end! Damn it, I say!
It's just like Quantum Leap! The character sees himself as his own actor, unless that's a problem for the producer, or the scriptwriter, or the cast, or the camera. Other characters "see" the body, even thought he audience sees the soul's actor, unless that's a problem for the producers, the writer, etc., in which case everyone sees a the other character's actor, or *some* other character's actor, or a suspicious gap in the picture. Or something. I honestly think they flip a coin, since this kind of calculation won't stay still, and they want audience recognition of what's going on, but not always.
It is, however, possibly an improvement over the Gilligan's Island era of Transmigrated Souls, in which Mary Ann's soprano voice comes out of the Captain's husky body when she's in residence, and vice versa.
