James Martin
Martin is the first character shown to have shape shifting (Into Asylum). He first used it (off-screen) to surprise a group of Danko's men and kill them while they were hunting him. He then made his way into Danko's office and touched the Hunter, "taking" his form. He then runs when Sylar calls Danko and tells him Martin is a shape shifter. Martin, during the chase, touches another man to "take" his shape and shifts to appear like him and escape.

Apparently, unless the person shifts back into their original form, the form they die in is the one they stay in as when James is killed by Sylar and Danko, he stays in Sylar's form even after death.
