Correct. In fact, at heroestelevision.com the producers answer some spoiler questions, and they confirm that Sylar cannot give powers to others. I'm thinking, as others have suggested, that as the eclipse strips most of the Heroes of their powers we may see that it restores Peter's "base" power of empathic mimicry/power absorption. If not, certainly a "perfected" version of the serum will eventually be used to re-power him and others. I also wonder whose blood was used as "the catalyst" when the 1st generation was giving powers to their children since that was long before Claire was born. Perhaps Adam? I think they established that he'd been held captive at Primatech for years prior to Peter busting them out last season.
I think after the eclipse we will see an influx of new characters with abilities, and, who knows... maybe Ando? He certainly deserves one!
If indeed the eclipse was the cause of these abilities to manifest then Peter could well get his back, if he is primed to wield one. I am now a little confused as to the premise of acquiring abilities though since it has become clear an injection can gift them. If it's genetical then it would definitely make sense that Peter gets his back.
