Peter and Sylar have had many confrontations.
About
Round one (Homecoming)
Peter tries to hold Sylar off while Claire escapes. Sylar telekinetically rips doors off of nearby lockers and hurls them at Peter, which Peter Deflects then follows Claire out onto the stone bleachers. Peter tells Claire to get to the stadium because Sylar doesn't want to be seen. After Claire leaves, Peter and Sylar struggle at the top of the bleachers, and both men fall off the back of the bleachers to the ground below. Claire returns to find Peter regenerating his wounds, resetting his broken bones. He sends her away for help, and the police arrive. Seeing him apparently unhurt and covered in blood, they arrest him.
- Results: Tie, both captured.
Round two (Parasite and .07%)
Peter later visits Mohinder's apartment, with nowhere else to go. However, he finds his entry impeded by a chair, and the place is dark. Peter calls out for Mohinder repeatedly, but gets no response. However, he feels some drops of liquid coming down from above. Horrified to see it is blood, he looks up, to see a bloody, but alive, Mohinder. He whispers hoarsely "Sylar". Then, Sylar himself appears before Peter, and Sylar announces his recognition of Peter. He also realizes that Peter is "like him", so he wants to see how. He then pushes Peter against a wall, and begins cutting off the top half of Peter's head.
As Sylar attempts to slice Peter's skull, he notices it quickly regenerating. Peter then uses telekinesis himself to throw Sylar into a glass fronted bookcase, breaking his concentration. When Sylar gets back up, Peter turns invisible, and Sylar expresses his interest gaining that ability. Unable to see Peter, Sylar uses telekinesis to throw shards of glass in all directions. One shard penetrates the back of Peter's head, killing him. As Sylar prepares to take Peter's brain, Mohinder hits him with the board containing the map. Sylar is knocked unconscious.
- Results: Peter dead, Sylar unconscious.
Bonus Round (Five Years Gone)
Future Peter vs Future Sylar
During a ceremony commemorating the explosion, Sylar learns from Matt that Peter is trying to free Hiro so he can change the "past", and the Haitian is down. Sylar immediately flies to the Homeland Security holding facility, shocking all those at the ceremony. At the facility, Sylar phases through the door Peter was using to hold off his enemies, presumably having acquired the power from D.L. Hawkins. With Peter separated from the others as well as realizing that the Nathan before him is not his brother, Sylar reveals his true form. The two rivals then face each other in an epic showdown the outcome of which is not known.
- Results: unknown.
Intermission (Landslide)
At Kirby Plaza, unbeknownst to Peter, Mr. Bennet, Ted and Claire, who are devising a plan to stop the bomb, Sylar is lurking around a corner eavesdropping on their converstaion. Peter hears Sylar planning an attack on Ted and realizes that that Sylar is stalking them. Before they can formulate a plan, FBI agents ambush and arrest Ted. Peter grabs Claire and makes them both disappear.
Round three (How to Stop an Exploding Man)
The first two people to arrive at the Kirby Plaza are Mr. Bennet and Peter. They are looking for Sylar whom according to Molly, was already there. Peter suggests that Sylar's hiding in plain sight, but when Peter turns his head, Sylar sneaks up behind Bennet and telekinetically crashes him into a wall. Peter faces Sylar and Sylar chokes Peter with telekinesis, saying that he doesn't want Peter to take all the glory. Matt walks up to Sylar and shoots four bullets at Sylar, but Sylar quickly stops them in mid-air and shoots them into Matt's chest. At that very moment, Micah, Molly, Niki, and Mohinder run out of the Company's facility with a wounded D.L. Mohinder rushes to Matt to try and help him.
While choking Peter, Sylar moves a traffic meter into his hand and hits Peter with it. Niki, knowing she can help, runs up to Sylar and snatches the traffic meter from him, giving him a whack in the stomach. Micah calls for his mother, saying that dad could use her help, and Peter tells her to go back to her family. Peter then goes to Sylar and punches him in his face while using enhanced strength, leaving his face dripping with blood. Peter's hands begin to glow and Sylar looks at him, laughing.
Hiro teleports back from Yamagato Industries where he left Ando after rescuing him from Sylar. Hiro arrives at Kirby Plaza behind Sylar. He calls his name and quickly runs up to him, impaling him with Ando's sword. Sylar falls on the ground wounded. Hiro walks up to Peter and Peter says that he can stop him from exploding by killing him, but before Hiro can do anything, Sylar, at the mercy of his death, throws Hiro across Kirby Plaza. Before Hiro crashes into the building behind him, he teleports away. Sylar remains on the ground and sees images of his previous victims as he taps into precognition, then his eyes go white.
Just then, Claire arrives. She goes to her father, takes his gun from him, and walks up to a glowing Peter, pointing the gun at him. Peter commands her to shoot him, telling her that she's the only one who can. Claire wants Peter to tell her that there is another way, but Peter instructs her to shoot him, telling her that there is no other way. Suddenly, Nathan flies in between Peter and Claire and lowers Claire's gun, telling her that the future isn't written in stone. Peter tells Nathan that he took Ted's power and that he can't control it and he can't do anything. Nathan tells Peter that he's not leaving him and that he can't let everyone else die. He tells Peter that he saved the cheerleader, so they could save the world. Nathan grabs Peter and flies him up into the atmosphere where Peter finally explodes in a bright light as everyone watches the sky.
- Results: Sylar severely wounded, Peter exploded.

Notes
- In an interview, Tim Kring elaborated on the similarities and differences between Peter and Sylar's powers, calling them "two halves of a similar coin".Both are able to absorb people’s powers, but in two very different ways. Peter’s is based on his empathy and his ability to connect with people and when he’s around them. Sylar actually has to take your brain and do something with it."
